Re: What’s the latest on Jack Steven?

My mate says Jack bought a house in Lorne. Which I think is odd. My mate works for a real estate group and his mate told him he sold a house to Jack last weekend. Lots of second hand info, so don't know. If what you say is true I think Geelong management will only toughen their stance in trade valu...

Re: McCartin

Brayshaw and DeGoey were in the frame too. The Boyd deal spooked us and the rest is history. The thing that amazes me is that we constantly use high draft picks on talls when we are crying out for mids. Bizarre. Even the decision to pick Billings was odd - a half-forward flanker when we desperately...

Re: Trade Summary...

According to SEN Dougal Howard has toured St Kilda, Essendon and North. What I have seen of him I have liked. Key defender, not bad by foot and reasonable pace. He also captained port one game this year so has strong leadership qualities. Still only 22. Media I have read indicated North was the lik...

Re: Trade Summary...

Skeptic, if your mail is correct, then this is THE trade we need to secure over all others. Give the Suns our pick 6 and throw in a player if need be but the club desperately needs to be bold. Securing the King twins could be a true turning point in the club’s fortunes. I’m tired of our club playin...

With Bruce on way out ..I think the best outcome is: * Bruce to Bulldogs for pick 14, maybe a 3rd rounder or player * Pick 14 to Fremantle for Hill * Pick 5 to Gold Coast for Ben King Bruce going leaves a significant gap, but if we bring in Ben King earlier it’s win:win and our forward line albeit ...

He played in a GF against the Dogs as a 21 year old. Has tons of pace and ability and hardness. Along with Hill on another wing they could both b...

Then with Carlisle staying I thought he'd be a nice to have. But now that Carlisle stays and Robbo is back in the mix - I think Keath's worth to us is mo...

Re: Bruce Requests trade to Dogs

I'm not torn over this. Bruce always found it pretty hard to get seperation on his opponent and have away his fare share of frees trying to pluck a mark. He was a good forward, but not a great one. Yeah our delivery wasn't the greatest. But having someone with presence who can demand the ball in th...

Re: Dockers want pick 5 for Hill

The trade for Hill is red hot going to happen. I think Pick 5 is ok given we are getting an AA wingman at 26. Unless we split pick 5 with 11 and 13 with GWS and give 11 to Freo for Hill. Interesting times. Splitting the pick 5 for increased trade dips is great from the Saints but the Dockers will c...

I see the logic there. We take a guy who may be as good, or better, than Grundie in the ruck and instead try and turn into being a CHF a role that I doubt he will be as good in.

Ryder is not an answer. I am hoping that the recruiting department will surprise and pull some decent rabbits out of the hat.

Can't see him forcing his way back, even if he does want to this season. Perhaps now we clearly have a good team forming he won't feel so much stress next year.
