The rumours are of homesickness, so I think that probably rules out Brisbane, the Saints would be the ones to beat in terms of a trade but we could offer financially a very good long term deal and a couple of top 5 picks, i'd personally say picks 3 and 4 would trump pick 1 or 2, although I have heard they are very keen on Petracca. Personally I can't see the saints passing up a forward like McCartin for a midfielder, so i'd say Petracca will slide to at least pick 2

Any idea which players gnf?

If saints or lions finish last I am about certain they will take mccartin

I agree wiseblood, my understanding is most clubs will only allow an assistant to leave if it's seen as a direct promotion, I think this brings blokes like ratten right into the mix

Kirk asked on afl 360 about joining roosy just said he is contracted with Freo for one more year, would one year under roosy in 2016 after 3 years as a Freo assistant be enough to be a senior coach?

Viney is going well but wines and McRae are playing amazing football

Would we consider taking Peter Wright as a developing forward/ruck?

I thought ratten had the blues playing better footy than they ever have under Mick personally, thought he was really stiff

the fact he is contracted and the giants would have no trouble offering him a mil plus per year also, means basically he has to say he is gone either way before they would even consider trading him.

Hahahaha classic picket fence at his best

I would do pick 3,4 and Kent in a heartbeat

Righto boys I'm back, lets get some injections goin

I don't believe the neeld overruled viney story, I believe we took toumpas because we thought he was a better option, time will tell if we made the right call or not

Channel 9 just reported Melbourne are front runners to land Jeremy Cameron and considered a big chance to also land Dylan Shiel I think we would have to make some serious sacrifices this trade week would picks 2, 3 and a player get the deal done for both?

He's contracted so he doesn't leave via trade unless Sydney okay it, I reckon pick 4 is a fair bit better than anything the blues could/would offer for him, the fact that he and Malceski would provide salary cap relief for them would help them a lot,

Plowman over Toumpas also, Grundy sliding to 18 shocked me there were knocks on Wines skills, although I must admit he has improved a lot in that area

The thing we were also in desperate need of/ still lack is leadership and outside class Toumpas had both, and considering we already Viney stitched up I felt on balance the toumpas decision made sense, Wines is obviously streets ahead now, probably ahead of Viney also, which is great for him, a little disappointing for the Dees supporters. But lets be honest our current group of recruiters have been really good in the last couple of years, this decision is the one that they would have spent the most time in, so hopefully Toumpas lives up to the rating, I think he will

It would water down our compo

Oliver wines.

Pick 4 for Mitchell and malceski

All Australian form, amazing skills, makes me cream my pants a little

Its not looking good at the minute, let's hope the toump comes good

3 and 4 for Shiel, O'Rourke and their compo pick which I think is end of first round? I think O'Rourke has heaps of upside personally and could prove a bargain in the way Tyson did

Perhaps a second succession plan, Roos for 2, Bomber for 2, then Ling takes over after learning under both?

picks 2,3 and Toumpas for Shiel and Cameron? I rate Jimmy as a prospect but he is struggling, an obvious talent but if it means landing a couple of stars then i'd probably make the call
