who knows, half the experts here talked up Logan Austin too, so not holding my breath.

Hill for Acres is a bloody downgrade.... fml with this football club.

I actually really like Newnes, he had a poor previous year coming off injury plus being played out of position. He started really well this year at the start but then the entire team turned poor. Its just typical SS members, the whipping boy constantly swirls around, whether its Savage, Geary, Lonie...

This sounds like a terrible idea, its the Carlisle trade all over again. Paying overs on "potential". Lets look at stats - Will be 26 in 2020 - 2018 - Played 7 games - 8 goals - 2019 - Played 4 games - 7 goals Paying for a player on 'potential'. How many times have we gone down that path? ...

Billings in a heartbeat!

Billings is 50 times the player that Gresham is. No way I'd trade Billings at all.

Looking at the AFL app we have Pick 6 then Pick 57, really.... stop trading future picks for crying out loud, its just robbing Peter to pay Paul and it is not working. Plan should be... 1. Get Ben King 2. Draft midfielders A. Ryder = Short sighted, short term, pointless. Rather find another Marshall...

Judging someones ability to coach based on a speech, what a joke. Richo would of won 10 flags with that logic.

I actually rate Newnes and like him tbh.

Sometimes I get pissed off at Gresh, lots of figjam and sometimes tries to do too much, but don't know if others see it that way. Meh.

I think Harvey HAS to be the one in the next coaching round. I think we'll give Ratten 3 years tops, if were not on the climb by then, it should be Rob's with Lenny as an assistant, I think the stars will align eventually...

Those were good times under Grant, he always bleed for the club, has heart. The difference with Lyon was he just worked for the club, left in a heart beat along with not developing any players.... Always respect Grant for standing up for the club and nearly achieving ultimate success. Wasn't perfect...

My issue with Harvey is that I don't belive he has the communication skills to be head coach. Credibility yes but perhaps lacks that extra bit of creativity required to motivate all individuals Leadership yes but lacks the flair to take us all the way. Communication skills are his weakness imo I do...

Will not bother buying any membership if that flog is the coach at all. He did f'all at north and I'll never forgive the Scott's with Roo's collarbone. Stuff this club if he's the coach.... #over it. Go get Harvey and be done with it already, give the members some bloody faith in who they can trust,...

I really do hope and pray that Rob Harvey becomes our coach, he's done his apprenticeship, time to bring him home. We need someone with heart for this club and I'd take a bullet for that bloke. It's his time, we need to rejuvenate the players and start fresh next season, continuing with AR isn't wor...

Rob Harvey, he is ready and I know he's someone who will bleed for this club.

If we get Scott, I won't buy a membership.

I do hope Harvs is our next coach, whether its next year or the year after. He's done his apprenticeship.

Never taken rec drugs ever, has never made any sense to even do it. I have zero interest and it's utterly sad people think it's cool to do so. If that's what people need to do to have some fun in life, then it's quite depressing. I'd rather get the most out of my life and get the very best out of my...

The Saints don't have a second or third-round selection in the 2019 NAB AFL Draft, as was the case heading into this year's edition. Can we stop trading futures picks. If next year is a total loss, there is nothing forward to look too. The only way out is to trade 2020 future picks, a never ending ...

1. Disagree, he is not better than Lonie.
2. I'd rather have Langford than Michington, no idea what the Hawks are thinking but hey.

I'd say 8 + 21 or 10 + 15, for 4 + 46 is more realistic tbh, and closer matched in terms of points.

With Adelaide;
Out -> 4 + 46 = 2365
In -> 8 + 21 = 2429

With Port;
Out -> 4 + 46 = 2365
In -> 10 + 15 = 2507

It's on the draft pick tracker page

28 out, 36, 46 in

I'm tempted if Adelaide gave 8 + 13 for our 4

Would end up with
8, 13, 36, 46, 67, 79 + Hennebery + Kent (- Hickey)

I'd take 8 and 13 over 4 I think, unless there was a certain player at 4 we really really wanted.

No, Newnes is a good player, has been for many many years, has a poor first half because he's played out of position by the coach and it's all his fault. Yeah right....

This is by far the worst trade deal ever. We got royally ripped a new one giving away our best ruck for pick 39, which inturn will probably turn out to be a spud. I'm mega pissed off about this trade. We gave gold coast pick 13 for Hickey. FFS. Not only that, we gave up a second rounder for Freeman ...

I think Newnes is a good player imo, if played from back flank, not wing or forward. That's coaching, not player. He's been a decent player for years and all our players were poor in the first half. Seems people have short memories. Meh.

I will lose my mind if we trade away pick four. There is a real possibility of gold coast taking both King's. Both have the potential of being stars at different ends or a nightmare to defend if they both play forward. By keeping them together there is less of a go home factor If that was to occur ...
