Sorry, Salems a dud, why didn't we pick freeman, blah blah is that better?

Yeah, this is something i have come to realise the hard way unfortunately, i wish we had have just not bothered with Dawes, kept pick 13 and picked up Brodie Grundy

and when you pay memberships at a club for that long and attend trainings and so on, you meet people and get told the occasional bit of information, but it's absolutely irrelevant because i couldn't give a flying [censored] what you think on me or my friend who supports the hawks

Believe me WYL salem is going to do that, he is a gun

I missed that one, i really rate Salem as a young player, i would say he's the best first year talent i have seen come through our doors in a few years, he has elite skills, great outside polish but has the grunt and inside game to match it, very complete player

i think it's just his personality, he is very laid back

Howe might net us a first round pick, he is an icing on the cake type player, which is no good if you have no cake Trengove might relish a chance to play in SA so maybe Port or the Crows will send us a second rounder for him Grimes works his butt off but really he isn't AFL standard in alot of areas and Chip might as well play the year out at the Hawks coz that's where he will be after that, Clark i reckon will retire, Blease, Tapscott, Strauss, Byrnes, Nicholson, Spencer, Jamar, Fitzpatrick, pederson and probably more will be delisted or traded for what little we can get

Forget development..... wow. Frosty i don't even know what to say, what would you like the club to do? pick the best available player, or pick the inside mid even if he isn't rated as highly as others that are available? Struass, Blease, Tapscott, Morton all huge errors Watts, Sylvia, Trengove: loads of talent, terrible development Toumpas, Salem, Kennedy-harris - need 50 games to get a good read of where they are and where they can get too, all showing good signs but need to work on others which is perfectly normal for young players

Howe, Trengove, Grimes, Frawley all won't be Dees in 2015 imo

I'd go as far as saying they stay there until they're too good to ignore, we should have players in the 1's that are desperate to hole their spot, not giving us reasons to drop them

I think for me the biggest thing is developing, he should be able to play a more dominant role in the 2's and i'm sure he will be asked to go back there and work on bits and pieces, he probably hasn't got a full game at AFL tempo in him at the minute

I would sign for whoever through the most money at me to be completely honest, but i am abit of a money hungry [censored] haha

Spencer - Jamar Byrnes - Blease Terlich - Clisby Bail - Mckenzie B: Clisby Pederson Gerorgiou HB: Howe Mcdonald Cross C: Watts Viney Vince hf: Dunn Fitzpatrick Blease F: JKH Frawley Grimes FOL: Jamar N.jones Tyson i

I'm not really surprised we are in this position, i thought we were the better side round 1, but couldn't convert, even one of our big forwards and i reckon we would have fallen over the line, same deal this round, 1 big forward and some better finishing west coast smashed us, but it's in the ruck we are getting destroyed, Mumford, 60 hit outs or whatever and Nic Nat and Cox the week before, we need Jamar simply because he will be better in the ruck than spencer.

I have a feeling the club is going to put him on ice for the year very soon, if he doesn't retire.

I reckon the top 3 are pretty well bang on to what the top 3 in our best and fairest would be right now

She'll be right mate, a few infraction notices will sort them right out.

That's a good point, if we got a second round pick we'd be pretty happy i reckon

we knew Kelly was going to be a gun, this really shouldn't come as a surprise Tyson has shown enough that in combination with my opinion of Salem i am still very comfortable with the decision we made

Howe and Trengove are the two i'd be floating as trade bait

Pick 1- Peter Wright Jesse Hogan Chris Dawes ( if fit ) pick 2 - Angus Brayshaw pick 3 - Hugh Goddard

Lachie Plowman Adam Trelor Dylan Shiel Kristen Jacksh Jono O'rourke Jonothan Patton

It shows that he would know, all he said to me when i spoke to him was they're chasing Frawley and Mundy very hard and are very confident they will get them

all free agency is going to achieve in my opinion is keeping the strong clubs up the top for longer and the week clubs hoping they can develop their players well to get anywhere

Yeah, but i have been told that was to do with growing so quickly, his doctors don't think it's an ongoing issue which is reassuring, i really like the idea though, blokes may get more tired but guys this tall will be a handful from the first bounce til the end of the game
