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

Peter Wright the bloke i reckon we will take number 1 is 202 cm 100 kg and normally a PF but can play ruck, he is a ready made replacement for Mitch, but i reckon we need to try and trade in a good young ruck, Goldstein is still unsigned.. maybe he's worth a call

I'm betting we have picks 1,2 and 3 1 as a pp 2 as our normal pick and 3 as compo for chip i reckon we need to ask the club if it's possible to delist 20 players this year, 10 players next and get draft concessions because this list will not take us anywhere besides 7-10 decent players that we have

you're kidding? we have 3-4 players that i'd lose sleep over losing, Viney, Hogan, Tyson, and Jones, some good young players in Salem, Toumpas, Kennedy-harris this list needs to be delisted and totally start again keeping those 7 players imo

3 games into his career, not because he isn't good enough because our coach doesn't want to rush him, we know hardly anything about either besides what we have seen so far, Salem has some grunt about him that i didn't expect.

My mail is Mundy and Frawley will both be at Hawthorn next year as they're trying to extend their premiership window, that's coming from a well informed 25 year member

I'm not sure he has ever worked hard enough to crack a game at a decent team to be totally honest, he's a great example of talent only gets you part of the way there.

I agree, the problems are clearly so much deeper than any one person, it's going to be a long few years.

Tyson is as good or better on his own i reckon, Tyson looks an absolute gem, and Salem i reckon will be even better than either

Mitchy! we need you!

Something to ponder, Fremantle do exams on their game plan, if a player fails they aren't selected, they have to know their role, gameplan and so on inside and out just to become available for selection, then there is training and playing well enough to be selected and hold a spot, at Melbourne, a couple decent games at Casey and you're in.

Toumpas was hardly a laughable pick, he was clearly the more highly rated of all the players available, looking back Wines may have been a better selection based on what we need but Toumpas was rated much higher than Wines pre draft so i am certain we didn't surprise anyone with what we did there, Cook, Gysberts and Strauss are a totally different story, it's failures there that have cost us dearly, those blokes should all be in our top 10 players now

I was very surprised we sacked Bailey that day, we were still in contention for finals before that games started, if we sacked Schwab instead of Bailey who knows where we'd be today

Wines would have made a big difference today, and i am a huge fan of Toumpas, at some point we have to look at our decisions and say, this is a club fighting for it's life, do we really need a project, at draft time we knew Ollie would be good, but felt Toumpas in time would be better, just don't think we realised we didn't have the time to wait

Nicholson is also second at our club in terms of long distance running, with an interchange cap that's an asset that can't be considered through stats.

I reckon a merger with the Saints or Doggies would be very much on the cards, solves two problems for the AFL in one, and the other of the saints or Dogs that we don't Merge with might move to Tassie

this pledge per win idea isn't gunna cost us much atm

Our players are shot mentally, we have been bad for 8 years, port won a flag 10 years ago and played in another grand final 7 years ago, they were always alot better than Matty Primus the dudd made them look
