Pick 2 or 3 ... will go early

Look... maybe ... um

Get Paul Chapman. I think Byrnes will last 1 more year and not sure why we got a VFL player as a free agent. Chapman is AFL high standard. and tough !!!

Aish, Dumont and Zak Jones. Throw in Cross, Chapman as delisted FA's and a 2014 is looking better already. All would play in round 1 IMO.

Better than what the words on this post say. Dunn cares about winning & losing, competes, good long kick, not sideways like many others in the back half. Sure has a brain fade or two but in a better outfit, he can be handy. Not top 10 sure.

NO

finals with the Lions. They will be in top 8 contention in 2014.

add Howie, Grimes, Trengove & a kid called Jesse Hogan.

Rockliff is their next skipper.... Highly unlikely to trade. He is the thinking finals in 2014.

Yes we need to keep our pick 20, OR beg, borrow or steal a pick between 21-25 to get Zac. It would build great footy club enthusiasm, and Zac Jones CAN PLAY. Get this kid.

I think they were confusing Col for Jack Watts. Unfortunately, Col is entertaining suitors.

ah the memories - like Jakka ... what he might have become

lets get this deal done ... delisted free agent. It's a win win outcome. We get a strong ballwinner with leadership and experience. Cross gets senior footy and a chance to 're-establish his career.

Strauss is my trade option. He has real ability but we NEED midfielders ... ballwiners. Strauss would have currency!!!

yes reports are that Pies, Tigers and Bombers are in the running for Adams (Pies as favourites). Highly unlikely to choose MFC.

No . Move on ...

Pick 2... option 1 - James Aish (ND#2) or option 2 - trade ND#2 to Suns for David Swallow (Suns get Scharenberg) or option 3 - trade ND#2 to Giants for Taylor Adams and Pick 10. (Giants get Scharenberg) or option 4 - trade ND#2 to eagles for Scott Selwood and pick 25. (Eagles get Aish)

Swap pick 2 for Adams and Pick 10 ... thoughts Try to get Adams and either of Crouch/Sheed with pick 10. That adds midfield grunt x2 to Viney and Jones.

only Jones and Garland got invited. Trngove as skipper and the Rooster as new coach.

16 votes ... the lowest in brownlow history. completes a rubbish year.

midfield role ... WTF !!!!

yes we must trust PJ... but I spoke to Josh Mahoney mid-season and he said all travelling ok and with a bit more luck we will be competitive. I almost decked him ... LUCK!!!!

rookie option from must view... Swans type

Melbourne v Gary Ablett ... who wins???

Swallow would be a MASSIVE gain. I would swap for pick 2.
