How do you think he'd go in the ruck?

If we got a coach like sheedy or Williams we could at the very least say " okay the problem isn't the dodgey coaches."

If we offered Thomas and Carazzo big dollars each, possibly the captaincy to Carazzo, would we be any chance?

It's amazing how much of this is based on the first three rounds, i thought he would be All Australian this year on the half back flank based on last year and i still think he can have a big impact playing there, probably best to leave any decisions on watts til the end of the year. One would hope this young man would want to repay the faith we have already put in him.

I'd expect most clubs have better ball users out of the back half than us so probably up forward

Neil Craig at Melbourne and a pay rise might be worth considering, couldn't hurt to ask! hopefully Neeld and Brown can play a role in convincing Thomas to move down the road

Take that back, he's a free agent... but that sort of player anyway.

If we were to entertain the idea of Trading Jack watts ( i hope we don't because he is only 22 and i thought he showed how good he can be in patches last year and this pre season) What would be a suitable trade? maybe to St Kilda for Nick dal santo who is out of contract? an elite midfielder with fantastic disposal who would thrill clark, dawes and hogan and be able to teach our younger mids alot a successful player at a strong club ( just what mark neeld likes )

Van Berlo and Thomas would be great additions to our Midfield but i imagine we would have to pay significant $ to convince them to come here.

Might well be Mark Neelds last game as coach if we get beaten easily.

Damien Barrett clearly doesn't like us and he makes no secret of it, as mark neeld said, jack watts was ill as well as out of form and that's why he was subbed, he is a confidence player who was feeling like crap and getting destroyed on the field, makes no sense to leave him out there.

I really hope kent gets a run! reckon he will prove to be an absolute steal of this draft

I thought we were okay against westcoast in the 4th quarter, maybe it's more to do with getting in the right head space coming out of half time?

I actually think Tom scully has gone backwards a mile since he was at Melbourne, which is fantastic haha but it must be hard, if the players are drafted to collingwood they learn off swan, thomas, pendelbury,if it's geelong they learn off selwood, bartel, corey, enright, Being able to learn off stars of the game on a daily basis and having their support in the game would make a huge difference.

Last year after we beat the dons in round 9 i thought we were much better after that, if we can get off the duck i think we will improve alot in not very long. Can't see us losing to GWS if we play like we did in the first half against west coast,

I still think Toumpas will be a better player in the long run, may take a year or two though

A team that has managed to find positives in a 94 point loss because there is nothing else positive does not need two of it's leaders out drinking so obviously, if it's true they need to be hit hard for it.

If we don't win a game for the year as alot of people seem to be suggesting, we absolutely deserve a priority pick. hopefully not a tanking saga attached to this one though

Both players should be dropped for at least the next match.

I think our list has more unfulfilled talent than port's so a decent coach and stuff and we might well be able to improve just as rapidly

top 15 pick or top 25 and a player, he is an All Australian full back and only 24 Hawthorn should be all over him if he decides to leave.

out: pederson, sellar, jamar, bail and Toumpas In: Gawn, Kent, watts, Blease Mckenzie

We are paying Neeld for the year, might as well see what he has got to offer, maybe sneak a few phone calls in to possible coaches if things don't improve

The kid has played 2 games and one as a sub in a team that's been thrashed each game, give him a break. Hopefully he gets a stint in the VFL to dominate some games and show us just how good he is/will be

Should have traded jamar to collingwood as part of the dawes deal and saved a decent draft pick
