Re: Hickey replacement?
Geez I hope we do'nt pick up Clarke! Seriously! We have 3 players on our list who can play ruck! Surely thats enough! If We go with Billy or Lewis as no.1 ruck, so be it, but do we really need another fringe recycle player? if so, why didn't we go hard at Preuss who is younger bigger and more aggres...

Re: Plan B...or is it C
If picking up Hannebery and Kent and going to the draft was our idea of ‘getting really aggressive’ I’ll be buggered!

Re: Monster deal for Dylan Shiel
I just don’t get everyone being so ‘relieved’ we can hang on to pick 4...like that player is going to have a massive impact on our season next year...no chance! We need ‘proven’ players!

Re: Hypothetical - Chad Wingard
Wingard hasn't finished Top Ten in Ports Best and Fairest for the last three years no way would you give up pick 4 and a player for him. Not interested in B and F’s...he’s s gun, his best is AA. He’s a goal kicker and brings people thru the gate. I’m over the draft, I don’t think it’s our answer in...

Re: Hypothetical - Chad Wingard

Re: Who is Dean Kent?
Pretty solid AFL ready player - not sure if he's going be elite, but he's pretty good from the 4-5 games i've seen him play. He's pretty well built and has a decent physical presence, doesn't seem to shirk the niggle. Couldn't say with any confidence how good his skills are, and he does have a bit o...

Re: Dunstan to Blues

His lack of development/poor management would be one of the biggest indictments on our current ...

Re: Jack Lonie under pursuit by up to 4 clubs
Why? • He's actually close to if not the most in-form small forward in the comp. • He just turned 22 and clicked over 50 games. • We have at least 8 spots free on the main list and one decent pick (Freeman, Gilbert, Goddard, Minchington, Stevens, Wright, Weller, Longer ) • He wouldn't cost much in ...

Re: Eagles interested in Hickey
We need picks. Is Hick gonna win us a flag? No. Pierce showed as much as any ruck on our list in his extremely limited game time. I tend to agree with This. I've always rated Hickey more than Longer (that;'s just my opinion) but always tried to stay very open minded in who would take the no.1 mantl...

Re: Mental Weakness
This is an excellent point and I agree 101% you’ve really hit the nail on the head re: goal kicking, 1st half’s, I would beg to add that the whole team couldn’t cope with expectation for this season full stop. Just a massive season long choke.

Re: 5 years Dan Hannebery?
If I was trying to fold our club, I would: • Keep Richo coaching. • Spend big coin on a very average ruckman. • Spend even bigger coin on a midfielder who hasn't played well in years, has battled chronic injuries and was never a very good kick. • Chase a forward who has had 3-4 knee recos and doesn...

Re: Adam Kingsley GONE // Ratten + Lade joining
Is it just me or is it a bit unclear how Kingsley left...did he walk or was he sacked? I read it as he left of his own volition to join the premiers. Certainly better for his cv if it looks like he walked but did he get a tap on the shoulder? He’s always referred to as “highly regarded assistant” in...

Re: Steven swap for Beams
Beams is way better than Steven! Stevens disposal has never been any good. I’d rather keep Steven because he is a saints man and we have so few we just have to keep some character about the place but as an overall player I’d take beams over Steven in a heartbeat

Re: Lonie.
Lonie has enough to say he could also pinch hit thru the middle as well. He’s definitely one we should be keeping. Clearly a popular team man and has the sort of hard edge/niggle we should be targeting! I for one would be very dissapointed if we let him go!
