Re: Was this our best win ever?

Either the 97 Prelim or the 2009 home and away game against Geelong. Always been partial to the win against Adelaide in the 05 finals... or Rob Harvey night as I know it Oooh yes, the 05 finals win in Adelaide was special. The 09 H&A win against Geelong was a ripper game to watch. The 94 win in...

Unlike Lovett, we won't be investing a big contract and a first round pick.

Re: Jack Newnes

Newnes has been used very much as a utility and all over the place in the last couple of years. He is a half back flanker and when he plays there, we get solid good footy. Alas, we also have an abundance of half back flankers. It would have been good to secure a trade for him or a free agency pick. ...

And

Hill will play until 34?

Hill is a proven gun

Howard is not a gun at the moment, he may turn out alright. He may not.
Oh Howard is a gun. As well as been a good key defender, he also has the ability to be an effective key forward.

Acres was worth no more than the third rounder we got back.

Much better than the 2 first rounders Belly was asking for. Sometimes you need to pay overs to kick-start a rebuild. Not unhappy.
Indeed, we got our man that's the main thing.

Re: The 9 players we move on??

Lonie is a walk up start to our best 22.

People forget how we went off the rails and our forward line ceased to function when Lonie got injured. He's going nowhere.

Re: Assuming We Do All The Trades..Will We Be Better?

Yes, definitely.

Then on top of the 5 coming in, King, Bytel and a fully fit Hannebery will be like new recruits.

Then there's the possibility of Roberton as well.

Re: Acres

This is from the AFL website:

St Kilda will part with pick 10 (acquired in the Dougal Howard and Paddy Ryder deal), a future second-round selection, No.58 (which will be part of the pending Jack Steven trade) and Acres.

The two clubs could also swap future draft picks to round out the trade.

Re: Acres

Another Ian Stewart decision. But we keep Steele, Ross and Dunstan to power our centre square and our mid field. None of Steele, Ross or Dunstan have creativity - and they are all one sided players with ordinary ball skills both by hand and foot including length of disposal by both hand and foot. T...

I’d be pissed if Acres leaves. I want one year of Acres away from Richo Richo no longer at RSEA Park, so no ban for disparaging him.

They have a bunch of top ten draft picks under 22 who will come good, and when they do, it’ll be in a hurry!
And that'll be in 4 to 5 years at best.

Re: Bruce Requests trade to Dogs

#36 looks like a the best outcome at this point in time. You'd assume cats would be tight on salary cap hence us topping up some of his wage.
