Would be very surprised to see Ray in saints colours next season. Should have taken the 1 year offer when he had the chance.

This is why it is great to have three good rucks.

Hate all this whispering into players ears in-season. Not great for AFL or club culture. I'm happy to see our list grow organically via drafting for a while.

Poor thread. Defenders will look bad when the side's getting smashed. Everyone made mistakes today.

Smart and versatile player. With him, Dempster and Fisher likely to finish up this year or next its going to be interesting to see who will step up.

Jack Billings had a touch?

Does anyone the history of why the football club and cricket clubs split?

Come on Age, upload Caro's article already!

Presser didn't come across as intended. Really comes down to Media and Communications expertise. In all the organisations I have worked for there has always been a media person on the executive. In a public organisation such as this, I cannot see how we don't have one. I know it comes down to cost, ...

Is this still happening? Would have thought this would have been confirmed this morning???

We all like to talk retrospectively about trades completed, but how about the near misses: - Jason Blake nearly went to the Tigers. Retrospectively a great decision to keep him. What sort of compensation were we looking to get at the time? - Mitch Brown would have cost two second rounders - Dean Cox...

well we should sack all the list management now viv michie has got to the dees for pick 54!!!! where were we on this one to busy doing performance reveiws and listening to what caro and finey have to say..... lol Melb's 4th rounder is ahead of ours, and I dare say our 3rd might be used for a trade ...

Geeeezz that's frustrating. Who else, other than a side on the slide, would slot him into starting their 22 midfield? Maybe Melbourne has been in his ear?

GWS 3/4th rounder maybe? If Chips wants a move

Who'd you hear that from?

Who's offering pick 9?

The ABC commentators said Lee worked his arse off and was a reward for all the hard work when he goaled. He isn't slow- never write off a player in the first few games either. He has talent and don't forget how many said Saad and Milera were duds early on. Milera deserves some love too- he did have...

bergholt wrote:so using this plan we cut one player, take four national draft picks and three rookie draft picks (the last two of which are archer and heyne).

Since we received 68 in a trade, don't we have to use it? It would mean we would be using 6 picks in the ND.

What an overreaction. Watters says he wants to keep him and tries to make the most firm statement he could about it. Who knows what went down late in the day? The guy wanted more money - can't blame him for that. I think the club handled it pretty well - they dragged it out to the last minute to try...

Does anyone know if today's game is streamed anywhere on the ABC site? So I can watch in SA. You'd think they'd show the VFL over here in SA on ABC2 OR ABC3. How many more channels of rubbish can they have? I've just had a bit of a look on iView, doesn't seem to have anything live available. There ...

Thanks for the summary Saintbrat

Yes. Would not be playing if Roo was OK.
