Sounds like Aaron Black has asked to be traded (due to Waite and Higgins) 24yrs 192 cm 59 goals in 2013/2014 Not sure if he is tall enough to be 2nd ruck (although same height as Dawes) Could be worth a look. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-10-05/roos-may-have-blackout-as-forward-looks-for-opportunities

Vandenberg's aren't made in factories you know

I seem to remember him taking the game on a lot more under Neeld (and getting more of the ball). Hopefully Goodwin can reignite that while keeping Roos defensive foundations

He is 26 - how many chances does he need? Id keep him only if we don't plan to bring in another small back (Jetta and Salem definitely ahead)

Quick ball movement = one on ones

Hogan probably gave him a dirty look and Garlett got scared

So is Kent - looking forward to seeing him again. Pace and a good kick.

Don't think Hogan will win it but I can imagine him on stage receiving it. Fixing his hair then pointing to the trophy and saying "is that it?"

But he gave us Neeld

Careers at Cross roads...Pun intended?

He is improving but still is one of the first to go missing when momentum goes against us.

Wow the opportunity to break the Etihad curse. An injury stricken GWS team. The chance to finish the season with 7 wins and let Demon fans enter the off-season with a smile. Farewell a legend in Cross. GWS by 50 points

lol - I expected this. Will probably have a good 3qrt when the game has been lost

Classic Carltank. These are the games we love to lose though - so it will be a hard fought battle to see who can get the worst disposal efficiency

Surely after so long on the sidelines he would need some match practice (NAB might not be enough). I am guessing they will increase his running very slowly hopefully he is basically into full running come start of preseason.

I wonder if this could have all been prevented. Where would Trenners be now? Would he still be captain? Was it always going to happen?

Ideally a quality key forward who can 2nd ruck would be best. Clark was a big loss - He hogan and Gawn would have been sick. Also should have 5 years left in him.

Thats called a 2 sec paint job

Agreed. The Schwab logo just tried to do too much. I like the look of it but cant see a kid being able to draw it let alone my self. I quite like the old fashioned "MFC" on the logo and think its a cool representation of our strong history. I think something like this could make a cool flag:

Probably just some 'stuff' for the coaches to help them sleep at night

Could be a blessing in disguise. Sounds like he is a bit of a handful - hopefully the time off has made him take a step back and respect the opportunity in front of him. 7 weeks of running is good to hear. Article says he will be doing everything but contact work upon returning for preseason - you'd think he would be close to contact stuff. Happy he has had Trenners with him - wonder when he would start contact stuff because he is 6 weeks behind (different injury though).

Well I hope he can bat!

I think I heard somewhere that he was helping out with recruiting (as a scout?)

$600,000 for Howe?
