It's no issue dropping Fisher, Geary, Gilbert or Delaney. Dempster and Savage deserve a spot and if Lee isn't traded, he is another that is in the mix. Geary and Gilbert can't kick or handball so they are hopefully way down the list. Preferably, off the list. So Lee, a seconds player, is in the mix...

I'd like to think pick 5 is off the table. From what the club has been saying for 2+ years is that they want as many 1st round picks as possible. Pick 5, Carlisle and Freeman gives us another 3 first round players into the club. Carlisle was drafted at pick 24 Ahh... All the more reason to keep pic...

Well done Kosi. Very good mod. I nominate BM.

Tom Bugg is going to Melbourne on a 3 year deal. mark that as fact.

Haha plugger... Must've been someone else I was arguing with?? You critise people when they leave the club or are easy targets. I am pretty sure people on SS remember who openly critisised Pelchen. It was the person you love to oppose and take the moral high ground in the fact you were a great supp...

I dont think they should change the distance of a kick or of running with the ball, but they should enforce them better. How often do you see a player run further with the ball than a recent kick, bearing in mind they should be the same distance. Also they should make that distance to include the m...

I would do a trade with a team with a pick around 10 -14, and their 2nd round pick. Give the 2nd round pick to Essendon, and Collingwood our third. Go to the draft with the pick from 10=14,aand 24. I doubt we have any hope of getting Carlisle and freeman for those picks without something else added.

Interesting that not so many years back they were in discussions to merge with Melbourne. Where they were on the table is confirmed by the Draft Picks they received to add Franklin and Roughead to their List - and Hodge before that. So they were cellar dwellers. These things go in cycles - which is...

I have never met him but two years ago there was a lot of love for him on here Now everyone hates him? I couldn't care less but people sure change their mind at the drop of a hat I certainly haven't changed my mind. Never trusted him or rated him and still don't. Look like the industry could now be...

IF that is the deal, then it is damn near franchise player numbers. He would NEED to be playing at AA standard for that. And really, there would have to be substantial performance based conditions surely. I really hope this works out. I have some serious reservations about this bloke. Reservations ...

I reckon you can have a little bit of luck, but largely you make your own "luck" happen. Hawthorn were always hungrier than us from the top down and continually planned ahead, and business men at the top ran it like a business and made decisions based on good business sense, in contrast, ...

He was on the radio (SEN) last week saying that we should give pick five for Carlisle OR Freeman, saying that you should trade for what you need and not worry about the deal the other side gets...... I guess that explains why we moved him on! He may be good at identifying club needs and player demo...

Is it age that makes you answer yourself Dave?

Lets talk Saints.

So if a guy is capable of being in the best 40 players of the entire comp, but the coach can't get the best out of them, who's fault is that? That would be coaches fault if it was this year or maybe last year and they weren't about 30 years of age. What if Pav was AA 4 years ago and is now 33 years...

Just a question on those who think Freo have a very good side and it was just poor coaching by RL. I think about 4 or 5 would make the Hawks side and about 10 or 12 hawks would make their side. The rest would be interchangeable. I think this is a silly argument and utterly irrelevant. The list I po...

Where would Young fit in the team? Looking at the Hawks, their strategy is obvious when recruiting- get the players you need to balance the team across all lines, which leaves you with few weaknesses, and recruit players specifically for positions, and this even more pronounced with more experience...

Sadly we are a club with a history of stupid decisions and weak leadership, and I suggest right up to the sacking of Watters which smacked again of weak leadership at the top. I just hope Richo at least has the strength to stamp himself on decision making I have no idea if appointing SW smacked on ...

A year ago Geelong were front runners for Dangerfield.

Exactly. He was coming home.

Surely it depends on the deal itself? Would you take pick 4 for Hickey? Exactly. Just about every player is tradable even Billings if we were offered Bont would get interest. The reason I still say a ruck is tradable is because we have 2 and only really one can play in the side. Hickey was tried fo...

I'm jealous.

When you think about I am very lucky. I was playing with my Leggo that day but I remember it well.

2009 the goal given to Hawkins then the next clearance the umpire gifted Ablett a free and goal. Both wrong and won Geelong the Grand Final. 2010 Gardiner going down was huge and in the end costly. I actually thought Gardiner going down got us back into the game. Kosi did better than Gardiner when ...
