Mate, the list of players we are looking at would be a mile long, we have some money to throw around so i reckon you will see at least 1 seriously good recruit, not dangerfield like but a seriously good player, and then a skillful half backs and a ruck i reckon Coniglio will re-sign with the Giants, and i have heard the offer from the Giants to Treloar is significantly less than some of what the other clubs are willing to pay, but he'd be stupid to leave imho

Hyerthetical, crows match danger offers and he is forced to draft, do we pick him with our likely early pick?

Agree'd, i get the sense he's lapping up the attention at the moment, everyone knows exactly what he's doing.

Black is a good player

No idea dazzle, i think its irresponsible to give up that sort of money/years for a mid who i don't consider to be gary ablett or nat fyfe level

Rumour flying around at work that a victorian team that isn't richmond or geelong has offered danger a buddy like deal.

That tackle on weller was ridiculous, he'll be hurting for the next month

Wunders, hed cost a fortune and we'd be bettrr served building from within and savimg that money for hogan

We dont want dangerfield, even if he were open to the idea it'd be a huge mistake

I would be torn about trading hogan alone for fyfe, but id probably do it

Depends what you consider to be a big name, signing dangerfield would be a foolish mistake in my opinion, we will continue to add younger players i reckon.

Dont rule out a bigger name joining us, our imagine within the industry is far different to those outside, i can only speak for my sources but they rate our young list highly, and we are and i quote " a pain to play against" they know it's going to be a slog

Olisk, a top 4 pick most likely has value, so say pick 4,22 i think we will lose garland and get pick 23 im return plus howe is enough for 2-3 good players

I've PM'd a couple of demonlanders i trust with this information but ultimately putting it up on a public forum would hurt the chances, they aren't two players that have been thrown around publicly as is often the case.

Our club doesn't leak unless they want to, but i know 2 players personally whos managers have had conversations with the club, not that that guarantees anything, very common practice these days

Dion prestia is gettable. Seriously considered our offer last time, we are much better now and the suns culture seems to be struggling.

I think tyson is effectively suffering second year blues, but its not his second year, broke out last year, good pre season and seemingly can't recapture that form, i get the sense its between the ears hence the run at casey to remember how to domimate

I think if anyone was going to make it back its Trengove, incredible character and a great leader of the club and I think on that and his potential upside is well worth the risk of another short term deal, be it as a senior list player on less money or a rookie selection.

I hope we look seriously at Tomlinson from he Giants. he will be a gun imo and is probably behind a few in the pecking order at the Giants now.

I reckon we will persist with Trengove on another short deal, and probably lose garland and Howe

Simon Goodwin rates the toump, he will not be traded, but he really needs to nail down a spot, his game against the dogs is what I expect from him every week, he is a third year player and it's time to deliver. And personally I think he can, having watched him train up close all off season and seen some of the coaching that he's getting I certainly think his issues are 100% confidence

Batting order looks quite shakey, not too confident that we can beat some of the better teams

I wonder if Essendon are considering recruiting K-hunt as a top up player? common interests and all that.

It deeply pains me to say this picket, but i think you were right on this one, i'm not giving up on young jimmy but my goodness does Ollie look the goods. Anyone got any idea on how to build a time machine? got back and change a few of these draft selections? haha

Both Viney and Tyson didn't have brilliant pre seasons last year so i think they will certainly be much better this year because of the more solid prep they have had, My point was more that Trengove was captain at 19, i thought his form was promising but Wines been very good consistently in a very strong midfield, i reckon he is in a better position to take a leadership title in his stride than Trengove was when he was given it
