  1. Is "scoop McClure" normally on the money??
  2. More often than not the speculation is right.
  3. Greg Denham just said we've offered him a four year deal...
  4. Yeah, someone mentioned the other day he can still be bundled up in a trade. I'll have a look and see if I can find it.
  5. Howe, Grimes and 2nd round pick for Bennel + 3rd round pick Watts and Garland for Redden
  6. I posted in the contracts thread yesterday about what I call the "Trengove factor". Similar to last year players who think they're safe will/should be shopped around. If a suitor is found they tell the player that a club a potential deal looms and they have 24 hours to decided. If no suitor is found the player is unaware his name had been thrown up. Carrying passengers is bad enough but disgruntled passengers is another thing. By the end of trade 2016 all the garbage should be removed from our list.
  7. Red beret....Rik Mayall....Thatcher, Thatcher, Thatcher
  8. GrimesWatts Howe No contract yet for the Toump Can it get any better?
  9. Im expecting big things from Frost. He's also agile not a plodder.
  10. STEVE J in a fwd pocket for 1 year. We could do worse. I still have faith in JKH making the grade but it may not be for another year.
  11. Special Robert is back....where have you been mate?
  12. 1 year?? You can't be serious, we have players in their 6th and 7th seasons and are still not up to it.I'd like to think McCartney is not only here to develop the kids but also identify those that aren't up to it and are no longer worth persisting with. Toumpas may fit that bill. Yes players take longer than a year to develop but they need to be showing signs of improvement. Too many on our list have either remained stagnant or gone backwards. This trade period shapes as one of the biggest in years with regards to our club and where we sit in the football landscape.
  13. So he's a better version of the Prince, actually sounds like a third of our team.
  14. Can't remember....have we discussed Matt Suckling?
  15. I posted the other day R-Jay that moving all five is unlikely and that I would keep Watts out of the five. If we were to secure Lynch we would have 3 mobile fwd options. But as you have said "never say never". None of us know what Goodwin is thinking.
  16. Yes. I think Roos showed us last year with Trengove that no one is safe. Roos keeps talking about the past and those that can't get over it. Like it or not Roos/Goodwin will/should have on their list Watts Howe Garland Dawes Grimes What's scary is what would we realistically get for any of them?? Would any other team take Dawes or Grimes? I can see Howe,Garland and possibly Watts gone this trade period. Dawes and Grimes can see our their careers at Casey or accept a revised payout. After the weekend the thought that they're worth more to us than to trade or delist is now officially dead and buried.
  17. Watts stays for now, 11 will go at years end. This time next year is another story.
  18. When did the Hogan rumour start? Or is it just ongoing?
  19. From what little I watched of the game yesterday Grimes was ball watching rather than going in to win it. Yes, I know he wasn't alone.
  20. Tmac takes a lot of marks from opposition kicks as being a good reader of the play and gets to contests to spoil effectively. When he marks there should be someone sprinting past for a handball receive.
