If we're unable to find an A grader to trade our first pick on, then I'd be happy to take it into the draft. Although it's a shallower draft than previous years there's still plenty of talent that'll be recruited in the first 15-20 picks.

This is why next year is so important. We must continue to improve next year so we can start appearing as a suitable destination club for players.

Not really enthused on Matt Crouch to be honest. A great clearance player but his kicking ability is down there with the Terlichs and Bails of the footy world.

Roos is pure class. Can't believe people are emailing him over a trade that hasn't even happened yet. Although I'm not sold on Melksham, if we get him for a reasonable deal (3rd round pick, maybe an exchange with Howe) then I don't see any problems with it. With guys like Trengove, Petracca, Frost and Kent (plus hopefully a Prestia) pushing for selection next year Melksham way not even be in our best 22. With Melksham, we are trading for depth, not starting 22 players.

If we are "interested", I hope we get him for basically nothing. Can't see him in our best 22 anyway with guys like Petracca, Trengove, Kent and Frost coming back.

What makes it even better is that Carlton is one of those clubs now "interested".

Bizarre....I'm sure the football department know what they're doing....but still......

Seems we're preparing for the likely departure of Howe and maybe Garland. I like the idea of Plowman. Another skilful GWS player who's been riddled with injury. Wonder if we could package him up with Tomlinson?

TMac is a key position player who'll lead our defence for the next decade. We keep him.

Don't mind Bell either. He's a big bodied midfielder who can rack up 25 odd touches a game. Knows how to kick a goal as well. He's basically the player Tapscott should've become.

Whenever he decides he wants more cashola.

Warner is gone. Silly shot.

100 run partnership between Rogers and Warner. Hanging in there... EDIT: annnnnnd....Rogers is out. RE-EDIT: annnnnnd.....Its a no-ball.

It's a bit ominous at the moment. Apparently Collingwood and North are frontrunners. Haven't heard anything about the Dees yet.

If other clubs were actually monitoring him they'd realise he isn't worth $600k.

Replays can be found in Bigpond's AFL videos. The replay usually stays up for a few days after the match.

Good start but we really should still have Warner out there. Poor cricket from Davey.

1000x like

I'm unaware of his contract status, but is there any chance we could lure Luke Parker back to Victoria?

Garlands first half against the Dogs was fantastic. Remains a critical part of this team on and off the field.

2011 - the last time someone named Nathan Jones hasn't won the best and fairest and carried the club on his shoulders.

Karmichael Hunt started at 24.....oh wait.....

Mitch Marsh batting out of his skin. I'd imagine Watson would be feeling nervous right now. Also, Warner now has six tons for the year. Incredible stuff. EDIT: Marsh out.

Poor kid.

Great interview with Christian and Angus. http://www.afl.com.au/video/2014-11-27/petracca-and-brayshaw-bolster-dees-midfield
