crazy deal for GWS, must be regretting not dealing last year basically Cam McCarthy was the steak Knives Doesn't it almost guarantee they can pick up a 'non-academy' player before they might be forced to use an early first round DP? McCarthy was already 'gone' so they have upgraded Pick 7 to Pick 3...

Gardiner the one we should look at if Corr doesn't pan out (likely).

Eli and a pick should do it but will be a bit of wheeling and dealing in between then I'm sure.

Freo just downgraded their pick 3 for McCarthy, 7, 34 and 72. One of SPS and English will be there at 7, but they could also be there at 10. Now is the time to go for gold! Propose this trade: Pick 10, 2017 first and Tom Lee... for... L Weller, pick 7, potentially a steak knives pick from Freo. Lets...

Any truth to the rumour that we offered up pick 10 for Mitchell? Just to make life difficult for Hawthorn after their late crack at Carlisle last year that made us use pick 5? EDIT...NVM...already being discussed. Tbh, it's just a rumour probably thought up by a few vindictive fans! Whether there i...

If Hawthorn can't satisfy Swans, what would it take to get the deal done. IMO he's a perfect fit for Saints. Not too expensive, ball winner with improved defensive side to his game and great tackler. Right age bracket. Dream outcome: Our 10, 48 and next year's 2nd round pick for...... Mitchell pick...

You'd have to think that it'd be tough for the Hawks to get both Mitchell and O'Meara. I expect they will, but it must be a tight thing. So pushing our Pick 10 at Sydney for Mitchell would make sense. If nothing else it potentially pumps up the price the Hawks have to pay. And pay they will. But sh...

Can't say I'm jumping for joy but he has me on the fence a bit. Rumoured $450k per year, no idea if it's even close to the mark but would think that's very generous of us if true. I've seen him play some really good games of footy, but I'm not convinced he is the type we need or should be chasing es...

Maybe offer pick 10 for him and Will Hoskin-Elliot. They should both be starting midfielders for us and Hoskin-Elliot has the potential to be an absolute star, IMO. The only attraction to WHE was his original draft position. If he was drafted at pick 40 he'd not even be close to being discussed. He...

Finaaaaally! Massive get and I dare say will be pretty much even with others vying for a spot as our second best midfielder. Thats no disrespect to Seb, Armo, Blake, JB etc but he will shock many. Perfect Richo type who can play multiple positions, was told it has been done for weeks but until its o...

No dickheads policy. Toms latest muck-up doesnt seem too serious to me. He said aa mate had been with an ugly girl, so what. There are ugly people out there. I have mirrors. His housemate told Tom to go out on the town, to break a drought - just like the bulldogs had just done. Tom -next day- confi...

Lions have pick 2 on the table for 2 top 10s or a player with a top 10 pick. Armo, Eli plus pick 10? For 2 and perhaps another pick in the 20s? If Armo isn't on the table now is such a great time to trade for Rocky. Pick 10, Eli for Rocky and pick 23ish. Rockliff is perhaps the most underrated bloke...

I assume it isnt a straight swap? They give us 19, 20 or 24 back and we use that for Steele? So pick 10 for Rocky + Steele. The question needs to be asked - do we need all four of Rocky, Armo, Dunstan and Ross? All too similar for mine. We then have Acres and Steele as inside/outsides and Steven an...

GREATER Western Sydney has met with Essendon to discuss what it might take to secure the Bombers No.1 draft pick, ramping up negotiations as trade period nears. The two clubs met on Friday with the Giants keen to get their hands on the first pick in the NAB AFL Draft, as speculation continues that ...

No GF sides are ordinary Kennedy, Jack, Parker, Hannebury, Buddy, Rampe tore us a new one a couple of months back They are a mile in front of us Adelaide without Riccutio and Modra is as good a chance as we'll get Hannebery injured, Parker injured, Jack massive Q1 head knock, Buddy ankle... yes all...

I would agree that the umpiring today was inconsistent at best - and generally favored the WB. As it very significantly favored the WB v GWS, Particularly today there was no consistency with the time afforded to off load the ball once tackled, with one sudden death call giving the WB a goal. The WB...

A bit harsh there BM both sides were in it until the last quarter and if I had to put it down to why the swans lost, an injured Buddy in the first quarter, followed by Hannebery and if the umpires dont want you to win you generally dont Well put and how I read it too. In addition Richards was avg, ...

I am a saints supporter. I passionately support and care 100% only for the saints. I have no other joy or happiness to give for any other team. So the dogs won, fine, but all I feel is bitterness and emptiness. You can't understand why I'm not happy for them? Well I can't understand how as a saints...

I'm happy for GWS' #35 to keep his number when he comes on board

Why... Would you feel good for their supporters? I'll tell you what, if we were playing Sydney this week, hardly a dogs supporter would want us to win, we are their most hated opposition. Yes I do feel good for their supporters. Anyone who has stuck to a club like the Dogs deserves success. First G...

Jaxons, speak to your contacts & make sure we throw the bank at Tom Mitchell. I don't care that he's committed to the Hawks, come in over the top with a rediculous offer he can't refuse. He has hands like Sam Mitchell & is made for finals, tough footy. Hands like Sam Mitchell but unfortunat...

Once again apologies for an early crow on this. I can guarantee everyone here Laverde verbally said he was accepting our offer. Essendon were playing hardball and he was ready to walk which they assumed he wouldn't. They have revamped a much more lucrative financial offer to him which he ultimately...

Laverde is a typical tweener/flanker who is nothing special... Bit of Markworth about him He could be the next Markworth, but guys like Fyfe and Goddard were tweeners too. Just because we missed him isn't a reason to convince ourselves he is nothing special - a week after we were convincing ourselv...

Hi Guys Just wanted to say, yesterday afternoon on Triple M here in SA, Warren Tredrea said we are right into Hamish Hartlett. He didn't say anything about what's on offer, just said Allan Richardson is a fan & we are very interested. Treders does have a very good record with his Port informati...

If Hawks were into Longer then I'd try to get involved in that Freo deal for Hill and pick up Longer. Maybe Billy and pur 3rd rounder? Longer can actually win taps which is something Big Boy isn't so good at. Unfortunately he has never taken a contested mark in his life but let's keep that quiet. D...

Still blame Watters for him not being a Saint.
