Extra salary cap allowance would be absolutely useless because as PJ has said publicly, we aren't even capable of payng our entire salary cap as it is.

Collingwood were desperate to get him, even with what looked like way overs for a while there

Couldn't agree more, we need to bite the bullet, accept it's going to take time but absolutely milk the time we have with Roos and Stone and make sure we develop this crop extremely well, Petracca is absolute superstar quality and Brayshaw is going to be a steady quality midfielder for 10-12 years

think Jake Stringer, he's a bit taller and a better mark than Dusty, he has a little bit of Fyfe about him

I think we had the right idea but executed it terribly, we drafted the wrong kids, not all wrong but some, our development has been the worst in the comp easily, we haven't really had leaders since Bruce, Yze, Mcdonald and co, if we can get in guys like O'keefe, Malceski, Cross, Vince, Jones, Dawes, Garland and fill the gaps with some really good young players and develop them well, I think we have a good enough coach and plan to get it right this time

It's going to take time, but I think it's the only way to be honest, the only players i'd look to trade for are guys like Tom Mitchell and Dylan Shiel i'd 100% be taking Petracca with pick 2 though, that should be an absolute lock imo

and certainly the type of player we need, he will go into the middle hit the ball hard and win clearances, but he can go forward and kick multiple goals and is capable of almost playing as a key position player, I see him as a walk up start for our best 22

Talking on the couch saying that Peter Jackson should go to Paul Roos and say you can't trade these early picks unless say pick 3 went for two top 20 picks basically said we need to flood the club with good young talent and focus heavily on development, time for a traditional rebuild with some decent people in charge

Petracca is imo where stronger would have been without the broken leg

But lets not take this too literally or we might find ourselves in Federal Court

I agree, it won't happen but if you take the tanking stuff out of it and look purely at the here and now we have an extremely powerful case for pick 1.

Petracca is a very different player, but he is seriously dominant, because it's relative to the competition it's hard to judge but Petracca in my opinion has been the most dominant under 18's player I have seen in the last couple of years, Brayshaw is probably not as impressive as the boys you mentioned in my eyes, although I didn't think much of Aish or McCrae at first so he might well be just as good, really hard to know until the player is at AFL level personally I think Ahern has the tools to be a really good player, wouldn't be upset if we pull the trigger a little early there.

I'm happy with pick 21 and assurances that the compensation for Frawley will be Band 1. I think that would keep the AFL community pretty happy and give us a good chance to make up some ground, pick 21 should net us a good player

Pick 1 on the condition we make every effort to trade it would be good trade pick 1 for a good deal use pick 3 and 4 on young talent

I don't think it's a [censored] draft, I just don't think there are many standouts picks 1- 25 probably doesn't make all that much difference this year, there are some pretty solid players if we have pick 1, don't be surprised if we do take McCartin I think the Key forward is still a worry for us, Dawes needs to be that third target

So if frawley goes as expected we could potentially end up with picks 1, 3, 4 and 20? i'd be pretty happy to add Petracca Brayshaw Wright Ellis Stretch DFA O'keefe PSD Malceski

the case would be 37 wins in 8 years in that time we have been coached by 7 different senior coaches this year we have lost Clark to retirement, Frawley more than likely to free agency, so we are already down our best forward and defender in 2015

Had too be done, the only way this wheel turns is if we get some serious talent injected into the side

Says if you're no good and rotting at Casey we will not hesitate to cut you down

I think Salem will be a good player but I think it will take at least 3 years to build up the tank of a midfielder, especially with the interchange cap it's going to take longer for young players

I'd also add the two times Jimmy was dropped this year he had 16 disposals and a goal and the second time he had 18 touches, so he wasn't playing badly at all, Salem has been given a lot of chances, Jimmy has been a little bit stiff imo

Round 1 2015 Jetta Mcdonald Garland Toumpas Dunn Howe Vince Trengove Watts Petracca Hogan O'keefe JKH Dawes Gawn Jamar Jones Tyson Viney Brayshaw Cross Salem

Rebuilding through the draft is the way to go imo

Petracca has been dominant all year and is a genuine match winner, something we haven't had for a long time, if we draft and develop this kid well I think he will be an absolute superstar

How many times we give a kick or handball just too much air and give the opposition a sniff is amazing, it's like the players get the ball and [censored] themselves, Jones and Vince are the only ones who back themselves more than half the time
