I find some of his/their player comparisons odd, but assume they have to run with current players.

"Essendon had offered Dodoro a six-figure payout but that Dodoro was asking for a substantially higher amount" Lol - no doubt he's seeking a reward commensurate with his startling achievements.

No Jeffo in the forward line? Picket Fence will be livid!

I thought the same for the Cats

I suppose so but you don't see too many clubs running round with that kind of branding. Eg. Could you imagine Essendon running around with a giant 'B' on all their apparel? Or Collingwood with 'M' etc

At first glance I thought it was an 'S' and wondered what tf 'S' stood for.

That's why I reckon Adelaide will have a long hard look at him, which is a bit of a worry.

Hey @Pennant St Dee, what's Aiden Riddle like out of curiosity (shot in the dark)? Have you come across him much in your travels? Cheers

I assume Radford was there?

Along with Hore, our best kick of the pill!

A big slide by Trainor! I don't think we'll take Armstrong.

I suspect we'll be shunted over to Marvel for more games as clubs like Carlton demand more games at the G

As far as I can tell, Hourigan didn't nominate, so pick another smokey

Denby Taylor needs to be signed up then - quality footballer!

I thought we could match the bid with our pick 83 (or whatever it is)? If he's not bid on, we take him as a Cat B and use Pick 83 on a roughie. If we elect to split pick 5(not likely) or (possible) 9, for two picks in this years draft, we wouldn't be able to match any bids for him assuming the trade is for two first rounders or thereabouts. I'm confident we'll get a decent number of offers from desperate recruiters to split each pick.

He's a KPD at the moment

Craig Jennings

If the Crows happen to overlook Draper, I hope we pounce. Exactly the type of player we need at the Dees: capable of repeat sprint efforts and gets from contest to contest effectively. In that aspect, and with the aforementioned traits, he suits the modern game as a midfielder with balance who can impact on the way forward.

Watters - didn't last long at the Saints because he was a very ordinary coach and appalling with player relations.

I think Twomey will get solid info on their picks. I don't recall them pulling to many surprises that the media weren't on to. I do think Silvani's record is not great. Some great picks at the high end but certainly more than his share of howlers: L Sumner, S Petrevski-Seton, P Dow (x2), L O'Brien, L Stocker, Z Fisher to name a few.

We should draft him so we have Harry and Clarry Oliver on the list.

I'm not sure it needs to be deducted. The Casey development belongs to Casey, not us and that was a big part of the whole upgrade - for community sporting facilities. For comparison, Deakin Uni received $8.6m to redevelop their oval (to exact MCG specs) and sporting facility to house the cats over summer. That's not counted in their endless handouts for taxpayer park facilities. We've really only received a few mil for the Gosch's oval upgrade.

If the AFL umpires end up being housed at Caulfield, I expect the AFL would stump up a fair amount for that alone.

The filth and the toiges both want Gosch's. It should be an entertaining scrap.

You could probably say the same for Jayden Nguyen, who I've never really heard mentioned
