I think you have to go kp player with such a high pick, can add the mid fielders later once we get a spine in place.

He's doing ok IMO but needs to show he's also got some guts and drop senior players that are not trying hard enough. He's shown that he doesn't mind calling them out publicly and so now needs to take the next step and drop them to send a message. I agree with this, IMO Sam fisher has been very ordi...

Hmmm I thought this was going to be about what our coach had to say on the radio, not some essendon player!

Will be interesting to see how they are used, certainly gives us more options than this year.

Can't believe people saying pick 27 is a fair deal for us. Cost us pick 24, he has had two years development and has shown signs that he could be a player. If it was the saints that raised this with wc then I would hope it was to try and trade for brown. IMO that would be fair trade for us as it fil...

Nope, need a key defender which he isn't.

Must have a backup to Ben IMO. Not necessarilly to ruck in the same game but to be able to cover injury and also allow some rotation to freshen them up. Stanley's body is injury prone and care needs to be taken with him to allow him to play conisistently, throwing him in as first ruck when Ben goes ...

Good call, based on those stats is virtually identical to caddy, but is likely to be cheaper and possibly more upside as has been restricted by illness / injury.. Having said that our needs are for key talls so unless it was for a late pick I don't think we should draft either.

Collongwood and kangaroo's seem to be going alright with high altitude training regime.

Perhaps he isn't going

Interestingly mick malt house said carlton need the same thing.we might rue beating them on the weekend as they now have the pick before us. Maybe not....as both are may be gained by trading. Hope not, supposed to be a strong draft so we should use our early picks on best young player to build for ...

The main thing for me is it is someone that has had a hit within the last couple of years, rather than a couple of decades ago ala meatloaf, Lionel Ritchie. They only get to play 2 or 3 songs, most people will recognize when they hear them.

Good band and will fire up the gf. about time the afl got their act together on this, it is one of the few things they do poorly. Of the three gf's I have been to the only good song was jimmy Barnes 'no second prize'. I'm not really a jimmy fan but before a gf with beer in hand, it was pretty apt. U...

u know he is?

Nope, just what I think will happen. Will get much more money at GWS or freo.

Goddard will be at GWS next year

Not many stars in that lot either, Goddard about to play his last game too.

He nails plenty of his kicks, sure he sprays the odd one but given his age and how hard he runs I think it is to be expected.

Did some good things yesterday with limited opportunity. Set up a goal to Wilkes with a beautiful kick out of the middle. Silly to expect a guy with just a few games to dominate.

Just watched the replay of the Melbourne game and thought jack was good, surprised to read this thread. I know it was started after last weeks game, but his improvement this year cementing a starting spot has been one of the season highlights for me.

Should not be allowed to commentate on swans games

Money for jam hey

Black caviar almost blew it too!

The Toms to come in - Simpkin & Ledger. Need to bolster the backline and Tommy Ledger just has to play games.

I thought he looked pretty good last night, if he keeps building in confidence he could be anything. With his height and speed could be the perfect forward for the modern game.

gees surprised some are writing off the season already! We were always going to struggle with the travelling we had done in the last week compared to WCE who haven't left Perth. I was at the game and thought there were a few positives, Stanley looked quite good, WCE supporters around us were all ask...
