Not everyone we pick up needs to be an A grade gun. A list has to have pieces added to it. One by one. Amon could fit that bill. So we're looking for more useful, recycled 'pieces' like McGough, Mullins, Attard, Wall, Birss, Gamble, C.Gardiner, Begley, Pattison, Smith, Polo, Maister, Dennis-Lane an...

We have no early picks so better to get someone already in the system with some proven ability than a pick 75 that never plays. you could easily mount an argument that 5 years and 42 games is a pick that hardly ever plays Leigh Montagna played around 50 games in his first five years. Joey had a lot...

Neither were Membrey, Bruce or Roberton. They turned out alright.

Hawks interested too. That gives me more confidence.

Hmmm Deal for Wingard is now coming to mind. He might be a return swap in that.

The Recruit wrote: ↑Wed 10 Oct 2018 8:36pm If we in effect swap Hickey for Hannebery we have done well.

Very unlikely. The fact that Langdon is stopping the deal move forward suggests the Swans ar looking for more.

If Bruce is traded out imo means we are going with King with pick 4.Really wanted mid with that pick,just hope there are some good mids with the picks we get for players traded out.Then again who would know the thinking going on atm Here we go again. Toss out the opportunity to get a possible elite...

Yep Listed on Zero Hangere and 2020.

I hate that club more than just about anything. Of course they were going to cut into our lunch. Only they could be revived so quickly after being caught cheating. If it's not drugs, they're cheating the cap. Now they seem to have squeezed Shiel in there. I really didn't want them to get Shiel, but...

west coast says you can have gaff, he wants to head home, but it'll cost you steven. mcgovern will come as well, he'll cost you carlisle. kennedy is the knives, but we want membrey. Yes there are some funny people at West Coast. Replace older players from their side for potential younger guns that ...

Players like dusty, Degoey et al are untouchable. Can play multiple roles, electric on the burst good size and play above their height and kick goals including clutch goals We got any of them? Simply no. Jack Steven is not elite but an A grader as he doesn't fulfil your points of reference, ie the ...

Yes it’s all doom and gloom here at the moment - I myself have posted more than my fair share of criticism as of late... Serious question... it looks like Richo will lead us into 2019, how can he turn this around? The club must see something in him... what is it? Obviously 2017 looked a lot better,...

Didn't fit our social values. I remember it well

Has relied on Kennedy, Hannebury, McVeigh, Jack, Parker and Franklin.

4 of them are cooked. And alas, so are Sydney. Lingerie has zero answers.

To be fair, how do you uncook a player.

Pass him onto St kilda and pursue a newer version.

Should have tried Freeman with other options but no we delisted him instead. Freeman may have been of interest by some clubs given his original standing. Just needed confidence in medicos.

I'm interstate get a ticket to 1 game in bris/gc been a couple of times but doesn't always line up with work/time off. Have taken missus can buy extra ticket through club.

Really? I think they thought offerring Mitch Brown a year later was their idea of handbacks. That didn't happen.

He's done enough to offer him something substantial, just not stupid. If he wants to stay, he'll stay. He's shown more than most on the list so dont understand the want to get rid of him. There's 4 or 5 others I'd be putting up for trade or moving on first. Me too. Many are not as willing as Lonie ...

Menzel was ok had limited opportunities and he will fit in well as he got nothing from the umpires. Consider this - he has a midfield including Selwood, Dangerfield, Ablett and a bloke who had a very good year, Kelly - and he still struggled to touch and win his own ball!?!? Wot, 27, and a bucket l...

Unfortunately if we got rid of all the dead wood we would only have a handful of players left & yep its going to be a long way back . Even a good coach would struggle to get us to a level where we could be competitive in the near future & Richo's got a snow mans chance in hell IMO. :( I'm n...

Normally I try to be an optimist when it comes to our footy club with emphasis on the word try. I like to put the best possible positive spin because, let’s face it, we all live in hope. Hope that one day history will repeat itself and we will win another premiership. But there are a few things I n...

I’ve given up - Finnis/Summers standing by him mean he’ll coach in 2019 I’ve never felt less enthused about the future than now Sadly if we win some games next season because we have some half smart assistants etc in.....how hard is it going to be replacing him then? His next defence will be “I’ve ...

Bruce Paddy Marshall Battle Membrey Acres Gresh Long Lonie Billings Newnes On the fringe = Weller Minchington Simply put, like everything else at the moment, it’s a heaping mess with no clear structure or plan moving for. From where I sit, the best spine = Bruce and Marshall. Bruce is the most acco...

Honestly, it’s never something that I’ve been really concerned about but I’m there now... We’re in what $12m debt? It appears we’re about to sack and pay out the coach. Either that or we’ll back a known bad horse for 12 more months. Off-field we’ve gone backwards and it looks like our 5 year rebuil...

Yeah get him in. Sorry, but having blokes like Ratten and Williams under Richo looks a lot more legit than what we have had in the past decade. Don’t reckon they’ll be ‘under Richo’. Surely not. Getting blokes like that suggests to me there’s a bigger announcement to come re coaching. Caroline Wils...

Our Assistant Coach Recruiting is looking a lot better than our Player Recruitment at present (Let's hope their is a hidden diamond traded in). We needed off field sorted before we can work on the onfield stuff. At least the cogs are spinning very fast. It actually gives me hope we can get some dec...
