Frost and 1st rounder #12 swap for Lever and crows 2nd round #36

Agree Jake's turned into a very handy wing/half forward. That was his best position at bomberland. Not sure why we played him in the back pocket.

Lever and Crows 2nd round 2018 for Salem and Dees 2nd round 2017 thoughts?

Sorry ANB. 1st draft pick 10-13 range + ANB = Lever + Crows 3rd round pick.

Agree that Lever is worth every cent but what would we offer???

Dees 1st pick around 12-14...Joel Garner or Paddy Dow.

agree. Offer 5 year deal $2.5mil and see if the Crows try to match it. Worth 1st and 2nd picks in exchange for Lever and Crows 2nd rounder.

OMAC had a iffy game. Some good spoils and long clearances but still 5-6 heartstoppers that will be costly if they continue. His disposal is always 50/50. May was very good. Strong marks and solid disposals.

5 yr deal for May for $600000 per year. offer 1st round plus jkh.

Steven May for MFC pick 10. Yes. Offer him a 5 year deal.

Watch out for this name ... Tom North.

Another great game from Zak on the weekend. His price is skyrocketing. Dees could easily accomodate on a wing. (Hunt, Viney, Z Jones). His toughness, ballwinning and skills are very good. As good as(if not better than) Isaac Heeney IMO.

Toughness ... yes Skilled ... yes Ability to stand up under pressure... yes MFC should absolutely grab him

my 23 April top 10 Brander Darcy Fogarty Ballenden (Bris) Stephenson Rayner Hayes Worpel O'Brien Higgins Garner Spargo, Clavarino, Coleman-Jones, Hewson, Lachlan Fogarty, Clark, Balta, Parish, Krueger and Davies-Uniacke rank as top 20 prospects. Lets see after the championships...

Dees could do with some more class in the midfield. Joel Garner reminds me of Andrew Gaff and would fit nicely on a wing alongside Stretch/Viney for centreline. He is likely to be available at pick 10-13 ... our likely region.

So glad when Saints chose McCartin rather than Petracca. Dees were elated. Petracca has only played one season after his knee injury so he is only a rookie really. Huge upside. Hopefully he is trained to attack when it presents (like his goal in the 4th v Dockers).

Bugg and pick 11 to Carltank Gibbs to the murder of Crows Lever to Dees

Luke Davies-Uniake is my very early call. Reminds me of Jack Ziebell. Big strong athletic mid. From the Stingrays. Should be available at pick 12-15.

i had a chat to Dec at Maroochydore. Feels super lucky to get the chance and was working very hard through the pre season. He said it was amazing all the support he has received. He will play mainly at Casey again but will cover if any of the Mcdonald bros goes down.

sorry no comments about Lewis on any thread except the trade thread. alert Wiseblood as the new moderator and agitator.

Almost aboard. Pick 26 gets the deal done.

I hope we upgrade Joel to the regular rookie list next year. His potential is huge. I see him as a rebounding half back.

Giants get academy and can choose and match to get them Demons align with Casey, develop kids and then its a lottery

No excuses. We were very very poor against the Blues.

Hibberd is worth about $400,000 at best per season. If he's after $700k, then go to the Suns... they will have spare room once O'Meara goes
