Why have all the so-called ITK's disappeared at such an important time????? Makes me wonder????? You do make it difficult to read this forum. Either you are trying too hard to be relevant yourself or you are putting the hard word on Jaxons - either way its nauseating and I hope it won't push away t...

Very happy with this. Nath Brown takes the gorillas who always kill us. Takes pressure right off Hugh to recover fully. Pressure off Carlisle allowing him to play more of his natural CHB game. Pressure off Dempster meaning he can now play his natural 3rd tall intercept game and not on gorillas. Good...

I wonder if Hawks get desperate when Lewis leaves on his 3 year deal? By desperate, I wonder if the JOM deal turns into a 3 way with Lions and they end up with Rocky and JOM, Hanley to Suns with remaining picks. I don't need to be reminded of Rocky's floggishness, but he sure knows how to play the g...

Hey Jaxons why did Hawthorn give us so much for pick 10 & 68. Pick 23 + Pick 36 + 2017 first rounder 68 is pocket change 23 and 36 are probably worth the same points as Pick 10 once it slips to 12 because of academy queue jumping. We got their 2017 first rounder for pick 68 !!!!! Why didn't the...

We need to look at the drafts. Its why points are bs is you aren't an academy club. Pick 10 2016 is not worth as much as pick 10 2017 due to next years quality. Also, pick 6 this year is worth more than 6 usually would be worth, due to the quality at that pick. Same way you don't value a teens pick ...

I just rewatched the last quarter of the Saints/Eagles game. Stevens came on as sub so I made an effort to focus on his game. He laid a tackle on Joey then Lenny and they were absolute quality, made better by the fact the second one stopped a rampaging Lenny in his tracks. He looks very strong thro...

Request: Can't be bothered wading through a 100 pages of Knightmares phantom draft Can someone give a quick breakdown of the draft crop this year? It seems there is a fairly set top 2 or 3 with McLuggage Ainsworth and McGrath....I seem to remember Twomey saying the top 10-15 are fairly even How dee...

With all these mids we have and adding Steele and Stevens... it makes me wonder f we have already come to an agreement with Fyfe that he'll come across as a FA next trade period and we basically are treating 2017 as an audition for who joins him in the midfield from 2018 to 2020 You may well be ont...

I think we lose on that.

What if you add that 31 in there as well?

Its so in our favour and we still aren't keen.

Webby not going anywhere. Absolutely nowhere. I can see the attraction to trading Armo due to age and other inside mids, but only for a way overs offer. Ie 15 and Armo for a low single digit pick. Weller is worth around pick 10 or so, Hickey for Weller is a huge risk but I wouldn't be against it if ...

Reported that 10 for 15 and Steele is close. Its a good deal but I want more, perhaps next years 3rd for 31 too? Unless 15 and Armo go to Lions for pick 3 or Suns for pick 5. Armo doubtful to leave but things change by the minute in trade week. Hickey for Weller and pick 60 for Stevens. Lose Hickey,...

Second thing is it was reported a while ago we offered 450k pa - surely hope not. Reported, or rumoured? Dogs did not offer him anything. Also evidently the Dons did not either. I would imagine that we are offering him a fair but not over the top deal and well under $450K. Sorry, meant rumoured. Lo...

Can't say I'm jumping for joy with Koby. Will come cheap but pace and kicking are his question marks aren't they? If that's really the case, why go after him? I will bide my time with this but I just don't quite understand the need for this one. A bit more midfield Depth. Thought we were pretty luc...

So we probably upped our offer as payback for Laverde. Dangerous game...

GWS trading 3 down to 2 makes no sense at all from an academy pov as noone would've bidded on Setters at 1 or 2. Unless Dons have categorically said no they won't draft McGrath but Lions would've. Otherwise I just cannot get my head around this at all. Would love someone to make some sense out of th...

Pick 10 for weller and pick 23 (hill trade)....familys reunited makes a lot of sense now this is a good get...weller pick 13 in 2014...he will be a player. Hold your horses there. You reference the Hill trade but Freo gave that up to Hawks. Weller plays for Freo. I want Lachie more than anyone but ...

Could I assume that Stevens and Hamling are involved in a 3 way trade with Freo? Highly doubt it, but man I hope we can swap first rounders with them somehow! More likely its just messing around with 4th round picks though.

Kieran Collins was a ready made man mountain last year and played maybe 1 game this year. A lot more to it than just having athletic traits and being physically developed. Drafting is playing a long game. agreed... that is why we have recruiters, who have surely seen enough of both of them to make ...

Looking at the phantom and admitting to not following this years draft as closely as I could've, I'm really not that keen on anyone below the top 7 or 8 available kids. McGrath, Taranto, McLugg, SPS, Brodie, Ainsworth - maybe Scrimshaw. English may go before then but it wouldn't be to us. So there, ...

I'm ok with Mav joining his brother at Freo IF there was a bigger Docker name coming our way... Don't see it happening but I never saw the Gehrig/Hamill moves either... Lets join some families, Mav joins Lachie, Ed Langdon to Pies... wanted to say we get a decent Pies kid but I just threw up a litt...
