I hope we're having a crack at rocky for pick 10 I hope we are not... too old for us. lets grab Steele with odds and ends, e.g. next years 2nd and/or trade out something, and allow Trout to grab a gun youngster at pick 10 Rocky will only be 28 by the time we are aiming for top 4 in 2018. Hardly ger...

I hope we're having a crack at rocky for pick 10 Is it worth using pick 10 for Rocky? It is supposed to be a strong draft and we could get a very good player for pick 10. Yeah but even a very good player at 10 is going to take years to really be useful. Look at a quality kid like billings for insta...

I hope we're having a crack at rocky for pick 10

I'm sorry and feel like the grinch who stole christmas. All I can say is my information at the time of posting was accurate, but late scrambles by Essendon have seen a change of mind. It happens and I'm sorry for posting this yesterday and jumping the gun in what has proved to be an early crow. I w...

great attacker of the football, thanks for wearing the jumper well Beau

I for one can see where Bernard is coming from, have said similar things to my sons about the safety first option in many of our defensive kicks. It is perhaps a little extreme to suggest this is all down to Dempster and may be more obvious this year as upfield options were limited but all should r...

I was always a big McEvoy fan but he was always an ok ruckman who could take a mark and that's about it. The game has moved past lumbering types to guys like Hickey and Longer. Both of whom are still under the age where rucks hit their straps. Thrilled with the outcome of this deal so far BANG BANG...

"James Gwilt, Rhys Stanley and Nathan Wright are others who aren't making the trip with the former two starting pre-season on modified programs following surgery."

What's the go with Wright then?

good to hear it verified from an independent source just how well we have done this trade period.

longer at 25 an absolute steal, as well as savage for steak knives who the dees obviously thought was worth an early 20's pick.

While we talk sliding doors moments. Imagine if buddy hadn't pulled the biggest surprise in recent trade history and gone to GWS? Mumford wouldn't have jumped ship so fast into gws, instead perhaps as was expected heading to hawthorn. We'd have no leverage and missed out on Savage, not to mention st...

Anyone else looking forward to a savage Bruce Lee hickey?

And just like that the mystery man's identity is revealed....

Well done Chris.

Surely now the shaw deal is done and brisbane have had another door slam shut on getting a polec deal done... we will throw pick 25 in as a 3 way swap and billy is ours?

Pics or it didn't happen

No such thing as too much midfield depth.

The pelican acknowledged in his webchat that there is a part 2 to the big ben trade that could only occur after FA compo picks officially existed (aka last friday). All signs point to us getting the buddy compo pick (18?) for our original 21 (now 24?). Whether this also includes handing over our 3rd...

What are people's thoughts on whether Longer will be better than Mac eventually? Signs are good...but even if he is the same there are some other pluses: * We gain at least one more player in Savage (maybe even two once the dust has settled and the rumour on the extra pick is true -though might be ...

What a waste. Err... what about the 11 years of quality we got from him? He was drafted at what pick 13? 11 years of A grade midfield service and we cashed him in for a pick only 9 spots further back? If you'd told me that back in 2002 I'd think you're mad! The akermanis trade in 2006 is almost a m...

Don't worry, it will be all over the papers tomorrow morning for those who missed it.
Under the headline:

"World First:12 year old makes thing up to get attention on the Internet."

Pelican has had sneaky talks with North regarding Montagna. From what I have heard North's pick 26 and Delaney for Joey. :shock: Here we go again!! :roll: You sir are a muppet. I know you had to wait till school finished to post that... just not sure if it was secondary or primary. Either way I'm s...

Sad to see him go, but better to get a good pick for him now than potentially nothing in 12 months. (The AFL will ditch free agency compo picks any tick of the clock.) Regardless of the how and why- on balance getting pick 22 for a 30 year old is a pretty damn good deal. I'd love to hear anyone who...

Brisbane wanted pick 17 for Longer (and probably would have got it if we didn't trade Ben), so certainly Giles for anything near that is off the mark.

Giles and Bruce for Fisher and 37? (add Ray or someone if required)
