Guess it would depend on the crowd they think they're gunna get if it's at the G i'd back us to beat them in a final

If we beat the Cats and book 8th spot, very strong chance our first final would be at Skilled against Geelong again

Yup, Lyon has been very successful at bringing in fringe talent at other clubs, giving them a role and making them a useful AFL player, but he's never been proven to develop talent at all, and has shown a reluctance to play kids, he left the Saints list in a hole after a few failed finals tilts, and looked like doing the same to the Dockers, seems to finally be playing some kids, so lets see if he can develop them

I'd have a look, 2017 first round draft pick should satisfy a trade i would have thought given his age, and injury concerns. will want decent dollars but experience and he's still a bloody good player and i reckon he'd look even better in our side.

Bluey, AA and top 5 in the brownlow

Be even more [censored] we lost to essendon

Tyson Gawn Vince Jetta Jones Tmac

Grimes, Dunn and Garland would be silly not to look at options Trengove i think will be rookied, i really think a full pre season and he'll be a chance to break into the side and lock down a spot, he's certainly playing very solid footy at Casey

1. Gawn 2. Viney 3. Jones 4. Watts 5.Tyson

I really think Jack doesn't get talked up as much as he deserved, i personally think he's every bit as good as the Bont, Cripps or any young mid in the comp,

I quite like where they're placed to be honest, I see May and Lynch as two of the best young key position players in the comp Rory Thompson is a handy second tall defender, Wright and Day are more than handy forwards Martin, Sexton, Lonergan and co though the middle, and some top end talent coming through the draft and i reckon they'll be okay in 2 years time

McCarthey - Freo's third round pick ( surely they couldn't ask more Lobb & one of the Giants picks 14ish - Freo's pick 4 Hill& third rounder - pick 14 they will get some compo for Mayne as well i suspect.

When this deal is done (assuming the Suns get pick 6 off the Tigers ) they'll go into the draft with 3 top 10 picks, and if O'meara leaves i'd assume they'll get something significant for him as well

would depend on what we'd have to give up for him i reckon

I'd say a later pick Chaser, i don't think it'll be much at all, the Suns rate Prestia as worthy of a top 12 pick, and the Tigers think he is worth sort of the 10-15 mark so i'd say it'll be say 6-Prestia and a 3rd rounder or fringe player who probably wouldn't get much of a run

I think most of, if not all of that list could be traded or delisted, can't see any being part of the long term future besides maybe Trengove and ANB if they find another gear

I will add to this that i have heard Richmond are seriously considering offering up pick 6 for Prestia and they're hoping something else

what's the confusion Rjay? simply saying not all announcements happen right away, the bigger ones can be timed to get the best response.

Our mini elimination final, this is as close to a knockout final as we've played in for a while, if we win this i suspect we'd probably beat the Blues and go into a Cats game that we won last year on the back of 4 in a row and real momentum. i can't see North winning again this year, and i think the Swans will beat the Saints which means the Saints have to make up a big % gap on North to play finals, where our gap with them is far more manageable over 3 games.

Purely speculation but it did sound a bit like he was going away to have a good think about where his life is at.

Yup, Hogan signing will be significant, the club will want to milk it for as much as it's worth, these sort of signings can often happen a long time before anyone hears about them, they just wait for the right moment to announce it.

Will recieve 17 large offers

I am quite excited to see what he produces next year with another full pre season and serious gym time to put on some size, i think he'll be better than his brother in 2 years time.

Who's that leave unsigned? Terlich, Trengove, Dawes, King, Kennedy-Harris ??
