Am I the only one on here that feels that we have failed badly this trade period. There were players that were gettable that are probably superior to anything that we will draft with 7& 8. So next year we have the same team that got us to 11th this year plus a couple of under developed kids that...

Soooooooo in other news Sloan is a big chance of being a Saint next year. Plenty of rumors around. Are we happy to part with 7&8? or 7 and our first rounder next year? He will be 28 next year, so no way. Pick 7 or 8 could be just as good themselves with a 10-15 year career ahead of them. Why ar...

If we still have picks 7 & 8 come draft time then our recruiting has failed badly.

Minchington is way better than Lonie. My opinion only.

Full time zebs 14.11 v hawks 22.10, O'Kearney 35 disp

6.8 zebs v 17.9 hawks, Holmes 2 goals 3/4 time

H.T Sandy 2.8 Box Hill 11.7

Our coach has stated that "we will use the draft as a last resort." so I don't think we will be using any high dp's

This is good news in my opinion. I have had nasty exchanges with this poster.

Yeah, he never took bullcrap or stupidity well !

Maybe Meatball will get some mid time. Hope he goes well, probably our best kick.

Considering the amount of tackles he lays, that's a pretty good record.

Speaking of the draft of course... Decided to return for a one off post (of course I read occasionally) and comment on the ND. Some of the infamous posts I've made over the journey have been wrt commenting straight after the draft. So why disappoint?! Bit of a history lesson first, We might recall ...

Very underwhelming trade period for us so far compared to other clubs. Two fringe players that are unlikely to push us further up the ladder.
I hope that the silence around our trading means that we are trying to land a bigger name.

Err. And you believe it?

I hope not and I do not think so.

If you looked you will see that I said it was probably bullsh**

Happy to be corrected, but i think it was in Gary Buckenara's article on our list and he said he saw Freeman play for the devo squad late in the season and he looked way off the pace, not even looking likley at that stage...I'm not surprised given the amount of footy he would have missed... And thi...

I don't like all this sense of desperation of needing to trade to get talent in. It's got a really panicy, top-up feel to me. Of course if we had stayed the course and been more experimental this year we could well have a pick 5 or 6 and get a blue blood midfielder we need. But no, Pelchen goes out...

O'Meara, Vickery and Mitchell seem to think that Hawthorn is a Destination Club!! They will probably get Fyffe, Hogan and Dusty next year as well. as draft picks mean nothing to them. Just leaves the likes of us to settle for the also-rans that have been discussed in this thread. So much for equalis...

If he lands at Hawthorn that means they cannot afford Tom Mitchell, so maybe we should look at him instead.!! He would be cheaper and appears to be more robust than O'Meara.

O'Meara is a gun once in a generation player if fit Steel potential to be b / c grade along with hundreds of others OMeara will never make it back - Jack Steele will be an A grader garunteed! If he is so good why is he playing reserves footy ? He might be an o.k player but we wont beat the likes of...

How are we going to beat teams in finals like GWS and GCS by recruiting their cast-offs like Marchbank and Steele.? We need some elite players, no point getting players just because they come cheap and fit our age or size demigraph. Not sure they are cast-offs. Id be happy with either and Id be hig...

My expectation from here is that we win the final 2 games easily, finish 2016 with 12 wins and 10 losses, equal 8th with NM (Melbourne losing to Geelong) but out of the finals on percentage only. That is the spring board for 2017 - and a return to September action. And it is the reason the Club wil...
