Would be great but what odds are you giving?

Just throwing this up. Swans have too many mids in the same mould and need some new blood in defense. Would they be interested in Fitzy??

When I was referring to the environment I meant the club. Collingwood spend millions in their football department and have invested heavily in Cloke most recently hiring a sports psychologist. We've all seen the results. You can either kick or you can't.

Well as we know contracts dong mean anything anymore. Anyone know anyone in the AFP? Would love to get a phone tap happening, just curious to if he's been contacted that is all.

Anyone else hoping Freo finally land that key fwd that has eluded them for so long.

What are ties?Cheers

Who said anything about us as a club, it's every where you turn. Doctors, lawyers, bus drivers, construction workers, hairdressers the bloke the next door who has a 9-5 job could well be a dealer. Drugs are everywhere, the individual must choose. I'm not across the AFL drug policy but surely the revamped one will have(if not already) the right for clubs to test their own players. Couple that with basic knowledge, drugs like ice/speed/cocaine will generally last in your system 2-3 days. I'd be testing Friday and Monday mornings If I wanted to catch someone. The culture could be cleaned up easily. The AFL also needs to grow some balls. Clean slate and 1 strike and your out.

The "drug culture" is out there, everywhere,it's up to the individual....

Whilst that might be true even the greatest environment can't get you kicking straight......Cloke....

No to Vickery.

Our boys owe me a little bit after the weekends loss.

Can we add Grimes into that deal with Howe. Apperently the Suns are void of leadership.

Well it is what it is. The last two trade/draft periods have been favourable for us for obvious reasons. We can assume that realistic contracts have matched those list management decisions.

Where the hell is all the money going then? Considering we have the same cap as the Hawks.

I did say speculative. 500k is still too much.

This it it, not all picks have to be used on kids, we can on trade them for established talent.

The wages I posted are speculative but if Garland and Howe can demand 5-600k they're welcome to it. Play Tmac, Frost and Dunn as our 3 key backs. Jetta, Salem and H/Cross.

700k Dawes450k Grimes 350k Garland 300k Howe 200k Toumpas If we are maxed out this year lets hope that's because management are/were smart enough to manage it that way so we have space to make a play for a established player/s. Weren't we offering Hanners a massive deal? Would anyone really be against any of the above named players being moved on if it ended up like a Vince/Sylvia situation.

Hogans is contracted until 2017, he turns 22 that year. By the end of next year all going well with regards to injury we need to offering him a long term deal. Pav is just about cooked. More than happy for everyone else to receive 3 year deals. By then we should be a club that stands for something and retains its players.

Wouldnt be against a long term deal to Hogan. Sooner rather than later. For a marquee player it's justified. 2016 marks the end of the dead wood contracts.

Luke Parker can take over Dawes contract.

Just keep picking up/developing mids. Stevie J, Chappy, Bartell, Enright, Corey, Kelly we're all drafted as mids who also played either on a fwd or back flank.

Quality creative back men....Salem being one?? Is it something we should be trading for? Who were you thinking? Would we be better off just developing a mid into our other back flanker? Look at the likes of Hodge/Mitchell/Burgoyne, it's all about versatility, those three can play mid or back flank depending on the game/match ups.Jetta Frost Dunn Salem Tmac "quality creative back"

Have we, I think we're still a couple away.

great point.
