Re: Doggies offer 3 to 4 year deal for Bruce

13 disposals, 5 marks, 10 hit outs, .5 goals is a healthy return from a 201cm 90kg rookie in his first 13 games. His move to the Ruck certainly proved he can ruck but it detracted nothing from his ability to play CHF. Yep, I maintain that to win a premiership you need players that can mark the foot...

Re: ROBERT HARVEY

Quite a few reasons right there to choose Harvey ahead of Ratten.
Tough crowd when you're rated on your performance in half a dozen games as a fill in coach of someone elses team.

Then, of course, there's his reasonably successful coaching record...

Re: ROBERT HARVEY

Quite comfy with him not getting the job to be honest...in a period of record senior coach turnover in the AFL, Harvs has remained solidly as an assistant in (up until the last few seasons) a middle rung team. Who else has he ever been tied to? Personally, I reckon the very definition of small-minde...

Re: Doggies offer 3 to 4 year deal for Bruce

What do they have to offer in return? Pick in the mid teens maybe. Do they have a suitable player we might want whom they’ll trade? What would be a good value deal for Josh? I hope he stays, but we have to give to get. A 50 goal a year forward? Dogs first pick or tell your story walking, surely? I ...

Re: Everyone is coming? Surely not!

I want B King at the club badly, but we would be so royally bent over if we attempt to pick him up before his contract is out, I just can't see it happening. We've got nothing that would satisfy them regardless. I'd rather we wait 'til the getting's good.

Hey, this guy tore us apart in one game last year. He must be a superstar!

Let's take him with our first round pick.

Delisted after one year.

Re: Gold Coast priority Pick

Senior bodies made all the difference to Brisbane, as it will the Suns...but sadly we don't have a Lyon, Cameron or Neale to offer them. As for The Suns, they need to grow a pair and do some deals to get established stars onboard.

Re: I’ll go off my nut if GC gets a PP after their 1st pick!

I don't think they will, and I don't think they have. How much longer will the AFL continue to take a handful of picks off their existing 'successful' franchises (i.e. clubs that can pull 30,000-50,000 members no problem) to prop up a team that continually gets top draft picks and soft draws, and do...

The only problem with reported big cleanouts, is they need to be followed by big intakes...and I can't see we're in a position to much with our trades and picks, no matter how hard I squint.

Tend to agree with the sentiment on here that more than the coach and playing list needs to change for 2020...so does it matter? Anyone but Brad Scott.

I get the feeling every other club in the league will join you...I really can't see everyone putting up with another year of compromised draft positions, just to prop up a team full of high draft picks.
