Re: 2015 - Draft & Trade Thread

With Freo trying to snag McCarthy I'd be offering pick 5 for Lachie Weller & pick 18. Freo can then use pick 5 to get Cam McCarthy. That seems very high for a pick 13 last year. Picks 13 (Weller) & 18 for pick 5 sounds quite reasonable to me. Heck id even throw in a late pick. Btw Trout rat...

Carlisle is away for 2 weeks so need to make a decision yet. We are trying to close on something that will superseed all.....watch this space! I have it on good authority that Carlisle is the man. Just like Williams. He's got a few right (McEvoy, Savage, pick swaps, Bruce, Longer) & a few wrong...

Why has this Kelly rumour not be reported whatsoever in the press? It seems completely baseless. It has been rumoured that we have approached GWS about Kelly's availability Pretty sure it has also been mentioned in an article or two as well that we have interest - dont ask me to find it It was ment...

Re: 2015 - Draft & Trade Thread

I still cannot believe we extended Hickey's contract. He & our 2nd would've been perfect for Carlisle. Ever thought that we extended his contract so that he COULDN'T just walk? At 24 he hardly played this year, wouldn't surprise me if he wanted out for more opportunities He was already contract...

Re: 2015 - Draft & Trade Thread

There is no way dunstan will be traded. If it is a player and it is the bombers my guess is Ross or hickey But like I said earlier Carlisle is out of contract, has requested a trade and has wada hanging over his head. We owe Essendon f-all so if they don't deal he can go to Carlton in the psd for n...

Re: Trade Rumours

I've always rated Talia from Bulldogs, gets a lot of the ball for a tall defender. Interesting.. Tony74 said a few weeks back that Carslise was a done deal to Carlton so we'll wait an see.. Geez, I like to know where you pulled that one from. Have never ever mentioned any trades. And to be absolute...

Re: Nathan Freeman

Now he is someone I want at the saints!! Exactly the type of player we are lacking. Very good player. Those 2 years he played at Sandy I would have seen at least 15 games in that time and I thought he was the best of the bunch which included Kelly, Salem, Amon and a few others. Get him.

Re: Now that we have pick 5.....

Very interesting is that Knightmare has Hopper, Mills, Keays in his top 5. All academy players. He rated Keays as better than PArish if we are looking for a fast line breaking and versatile mid. If we nominate Keays with our pick 5 it would force the Lions into an awkward situation if they have alr...

Re: Suns to look for mature recruits, says Eade

Well Id really really really love to have the GCs pick 3. Would Armo + pick 5 for pick 3 and Bennell get it done? Then we could go after Callum Mills. Pick 3 would get us Mills. The Swans could not match that. So wed end up with Mills and Bennell and still keep our pick in the 20s. Ill spew if the ...

There is strong mail about that they'll appoint that dill Mark Harvey as senior coach. So much for ace's theory about getting a professional. One can only hope they do give it to Harvey.

Re: Who will we trade pick 5 for

During the year, according to Plough on Future Stars, Collins may last until pick 20. If we got pick 18 for Hickey and the cards fell our way it could be a repeat of Stanley for pick 21 for Goddard. As for Parish, with pick 5 I reckon we are at least a 50% chance of getting him. Time will tell. Why...

Yup and yup. Don't know how you could say Menzel's been better. Just cos he averages more goals? Pity he can't find the ball and is one dimensional. Billings has many more tools to his game.
