Hill $900,000 a season for 4 years with trigger for 5th year in exchange for Pick 5 and Acres receiving back Pick 24 along with Hill (which would give Fremantle picks 5 and 6 in the draft)

We take pick 24 (probably slides to 25) either to the draft night OR use it to secure Zac Jones from the Swans (turning pick 5 and Acres into Hill and Jones) ...

Goldstein $750,000 / $750,000 / $500,000 3 year deal as Free Agent (no draft pick or player swap required)

If and only if Jack Steven want to leave then I would be happy to swap for Constable - straight swap. Jack has 3 years left. Constable could be a 3 year bust or a 10 year player. Very very hard to break into the Geelong midfield ...

Summary:
OUT: Steven, Acres, Pick 5
IN: Hill, Constable, Goldstein, Z.Jones (or pick 24)

I think this improves out list. Pick 5 and Acres getting us Hill + Jones would satisfy me as a good result.

Bruce stays
Carlisle stays

At the draft, I would be happy to take 3 more State league gems from low low junk picks ... that last year netted us Wilke (gun); Hind (shows real pace and potential) and Parker (great start but jury out)
Sounds like a sensible approach and outcome, but the club has flagged they're going to be almost reckless during the trade period, so strap yourself in as it could be a bumpy ride. FWIW, Wilke, Hind, Parker you've mentioned were also sensible and predictable picks (although I thought we'd get Pickett before Parker, despite his age), I'm not sure we can be that level headed twice, but I'd love to be pleasantly surprised.

Tomlinson, let's hope Melbourne pay overs for this dud.


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Bugger him, I don't know why we've been trying to get him for years, can't see what the fuss is about. Melbourne can have him...

Didn't see anything that impressed me about him.

He's just another athlete pretending to be a footballer. We have enough of those. Move on.
