Exactly why I am just about certain the successor will be Brett Kirk, but I don't think you'd knock back a bloke with Bomba's credentials if he was open to coming to the Dee's

I like it stuie, roos establishes elite defensive tactics, bomber comes in when we have a handle on that and coaches offensive plan and ling then takes over a complete team ready to compete with the top sides

I am pretty sure they giftwrapped him and Byrnes for us to get them out the door quicker.

Mathew Nicks, currently Port Adelaide defensive coach?

Tex walker is out of contract at the end of 2015, but teams are going to become more and more willing to trade players the year before if they feel they will lose them in order to get better compo

I'm not sure what Chip will do, but I certainly think we are ticking all the boxes atm, good direction and culture, few wins, commitment from Roosy I still think Treloar is the second best talent at GWS behind Cameron I'd be thrilled with 3&4 and our second rounder and Blease for Treloar, Shiel and Tomlinson bit of a mega trade but if the boys wanted out of the Giants I reckon they would take it.

He was simply Sheedy's attempt to get back at MFC personified and it's backfired bigtime, we all knew how poorly managed the club was the moment they offered 1.2 million a year to an unproven player.

Quite simply footy is a job, of course people will look at a significant pay rise to fill exactly the same role somewhere else.

Ling would have played the role of an on field assistant for a good part of his career, in fact bomber confirmed that, he has also played a leadership role under two different premiership coaches, just because he hasn't officially been an assistant coach doesn't mean for a second he hasn't taken on those responsibility's to an extent as a player, this is the advantage of a past player over someone who didn't play AFL.

You are absolutely right but that leg up probably makes it nearly impossible for someone who hasn't played afl based on where we are at

of course it is, don't underestimate the extra development of 10 years of playing under various AFL coaches, i mean you look at Brett Kirk for example, he has an in depth understanding over a long period of time of how Ross Lyon, Paul Roos, Rodney Eade and John Longmire coach, and that's before he even becomes an assistant. that's a huge leg up on someone who hasn't played AFL.

Savage left hawthorn for more game time... If we offer schroder more game time we are a chance.

Oh I agree, but I really couldn't blame any of the GWS players for wanting out, the other clubs have the chance to cash in bigtime, I reckon if we lose chip we should throw both top 10 picks, at them and see if they want to hand us Treloar and Cameron, or Treloar and Shiel

I reckon Hardwick is going to find it very difficult to last out the season if they don't get a few wins on the board in the second half, heard a rumour Worsfold might be sniffing around incase that job becomes open.

A bloke involved at hawthorn said they inquired and were told we had offered an attractive 4 year deal and he was very interested but GWS weren't happy with it, they felt they would lose Tyson at some stage anyway and I actually think we got the better of the two players anyway.

He was really keen to come to us last year because we had a great deal on the table for him but gws had the contract over him, we might have left the offer on the table.

I reckon we are going to belted

I'd say round 1 2015 is when he will play imho

Watching this i felt Kirk really holds alot of the same values as Roos.

I'd say that's a bigger scale than just the game plan, more the defence/team first attitude and culture.

I reckon Grimes will follow Robbie Gray around pretty closely, he's ranked up there with the best few players in the comp at the minute, and i reckon Cross will run with Boak, Viney and Wines go head to head which imo will be awesome to see, and then Vince, Tyson and Jones will just do their thing. the really big question for me is how do we stop Port from scoring so heavily simply for us to be in the game.

Does anyone know when Brett Kirk's contract is up at freo, as we learned from Stuart Dew, a Successor position is not considered a direct promotion and as such Fremantle could block him leaving while under contract.

Jeremy Cameron says he has no plans to leave GWS

What would it realistically take, 1 mil a year for 5-6? and the trade, our first pick and a player?

I think you will Find Jesse Hogan weights even more than what I am suggesting for Watts and is only slightly taller. so yes, I work in the fitness industry and I believe given his weight is around 86kg now, if he were to work on bulking up he could be 196cm and 96 kilo without any real issue if he were playing a key post. so essentially as this would be a process that took time, he would gain bulk, then turn that into lean muscle, he would only need to put on 5-6 kg to make significant gains in upper body strength, again it's just my opinion that i'd like to see him as a key position player, and I feel he needs to bulk up and improve his strength to do that.
