Geelong getting frawley concerns me, they are well known for underpaying players

Billy stretch will be recruited because we lack exactly that type of player, The thing picket and a few others fail to see is you can't just have 44 inside midfielders on your list

I think motlop is good because those around him are, wouldn't look nearly as good in our side and I don't like the idea of recruiting a player for revenge unless it's Jeremy Cameron The best revenge would be a huge rise in 2015 and Geelong falling away

I reckon a trade for malceski is the go

Apparently we are really keen on geary

Wouldn't be surprised if the doggies enter the race for chip, he would make a big difference to them at either end and they would have cap room

Disagree totally, they're in a mini rebuild phase, they have shown enough imo to suggest their best is top 4 standard, they just need to get consistency, young blokes like Grundy, Scharenberg, freeman, adams, Langdon and co will come on

Now that it's perfectly set out for us and these boys have shown good form for a while lets pick someone totally different.

I reckon there will be quite a few players potentially up for trade this year we really need another big turnover this year

The tigers really need to re-think their recruiting plan

His all Australian selection to me shows he can be damaging enough that would should take him

we would be the most unlucky team to finish bottom in a while, could easily have another 5-6 wins and be in contention for finals, no 100 point losses, fairly competitive in most games

Okay, fair enough either way it leaves Beams OOC and as far as I am concerned fair game

His free agency status is currently up in the air, but i'd say there is a very strong chance next years crop the minimum is 6 years because of the huge push for that, which brings Beams right into the mix

How could the board members possibly escape sanction for poor governance if Essendon fail in their court challenges? Either they knew and they're as guilty as anyone else, or they didn't know and it makes those involved far more guilty, and makes the board guilty of horrible governance

Dayne Beams Is OOC next season and a free agent, would be interested to see if some big dollars could get his interest, Collingwood might feel pick 3 or 4 is far better than the compo they would get next year if any.

I think you need a mix, you need players winning the ball on the inside and damaging players on the outsde, but I think the pre requisite of any player should be for our club that if the game is a slog every single player has to be capable of winning the ball in a contest

Better off judging him based on the season as a whole which he is seriously in considerations for all Australian rather than a couple of shanks

Very, would put in the back of the players minds that we still aren't climbing the ladder, picks 1 and 2 give us some trade currency to work with though

I spoke to a family member today who is involved at TAC cup level and he was full of praise for Christian Salem, said the kid has it all, guts, skill, work ethic, extremely coachable, fantastic choice, reckons pick 9 will prove to be a steal. also mentioned but not as relevant, he didn't rate Kelly at pick 2, said his phantom draft order would have been 1.Boyd 2.Billings 3.Scharenberg 4. Bontempelli 5. Kelly 6.Salem

Maybe Caro got them? she doesn't seem to be afraid of any big hitters around the league

Having said that I think Tyson at his best is as good as any of them, but he is a little bit hot and cold, Wines and Mcrae are playing like 150 gamers consistently, I know it's a topic to avoid on here, I have faith in Jimmy but wow would Wines be handy in our side

I rate mcrae as the best of the three but all three look future stars to me

I have said it all along, as long as hird is at that club they will be viewed in a bad light, he needs to move on asap

You may be right bb, I have always just viewed Caro as someone who really bobs up when the drama does
