Bring back Grant Thomas, I'd gladly have him. I trust Rooey's judgement / Dal Santo etc.

Geez, I miss the excitement of the GT years... It felt like we were taking the world on. It was always a bit risky, but bloody hell, we had such a clear identity. We stuck two fingers up at everybody and should have won it. Right now, we're a diet vanilla milkshake. Exactly right, GT brought hope, ...

It would be the dumbest thing in the clubs history to trade JB. You don't do dumb crap like that. JB is a gun.

Luke Dunstan should be a tick imo

Unfortunately agree definite Longer shouldn't play round 3, don't like bagging players, but my criticism is that he doesn't do enough. 1. He's too slow around the ground 2. He cannot go up forward and take big marks. 3. He gives so many free kicks against him for holding an opponent, I just cringe a...

To be honest, probably the best memories were when GT was at the helm, we went from a joke to just missing out in 04.
I'd have him back in a heart beat.

Bring back Gehrig, he'll fix the forward line woes and help Paddy

Already 27, turning 28 this year, I wouldn't even bother, get a top 10 pick again.

Kelly was the one that made sense.

I'd get him for the right pick / price.
I have no idea why the Hawks de-listed him but keep O'Rouke.

Doesn't make sense.

Sorry but can you explain to us why your opinion in your mind, is better than anyone's at the club.
Do you attend u18's every week / TAC and know each player inside and out, hence your opinion, or is it just based on videos posted and forums you've read on every player?

Genuine question.

Unsure why the hate on Wright, he's actually not that bad.
Actually a similar player to Geary in many ways...

Yeah, not super happy about loosing a future round 3.

Round 4, I wouldn't care, but round 3 is overs.

I wonder what Jono O'Rourke is thinking now after choosing the Hawks over us?
I'd grab him for a third or fourth rounder if Hawks don't want him, thoughts?

Surely a former pick 2 would be worth the risk for a 3rd or 4th rounder? We do need midfielders.

According to the TradeWhisperer, we are in discussions with Carlton around swapping our 2 draft picks for pick 3. I assume we get something back. That sounds like a terrible trade... would rather us get 2 good players, than 1 star. Team of players that play their role > team of star players (Richmo...

Problem with using 7 & 8 is that Jack Steven will be 28 come Round 1, and Armo 29. When fully fit, both are still our best mids (or at least 2 of the best 3 with Seb). For us to improve, we need players that will help right now, while Jack and Armo are still around. If we wait until Pick 7 &...

Please just use Pick 7 and 8 on the draft, particular on midfielders. We need quality young players like Billings and Newnes

Yep, he really was annoying in the first quarter. After that, he seemed to be OK, but that was a really s*** first quarter of umpiring by him.

Great topic, and yes its very very frustrating. I mean, that Adelaide game was definitely coaching that caused it. We had flooded in the first quarter and never looked like even wanting to win. The Essendon game, the only change I saw was Carlisle move up forward, and honestly if it wasn't for him, ...

Why open this can of worms. The truth is no one wants to accept the truth, it easier to blame someone for when things go pear shaped and in the case it was AF. Everyone should know that there was no way the local council were ever going to give us the license we wanted at the time for pokies. They ...

Yeah sure we will.... common mate, good sides don't get belted by huge margins like us. We are not consistent and Sydney are easily the best team at the moment.

North have tall marking forwards.

Who cares, is anyone seriously happy with Carlisle's performances thus far?
Last week was 100% crap, trailing 5m off opponent every time, way too easy.

Do not trust the recruiters to find any fresh talent.

No, go to the draft.
Not impressed at all with Carlisle, trailing 5m off his opponent every time....

If we don't get Kelly, then go straight to the draft and get to midfielders that can play. I don't think Fyfe will ever become what he once was, and Dusty is not the answer. I have not been impressed with Carlisle performances at all, I mean, trailing 5m off his opponent every f'n time, please, its ...

Putting out poor performances that result in not even being competitive or having some hope of winning the game is terrible for supporters. Who's idea was it to flood in the first quarter? Seriously? It was so reactive that it basically meant we never came to actually win the game. I'd rather at lea...

I'm not happy with Sen in the morning, especially Bartlett. 1. Its clearly evident that both sides were guilty of sledging that went too far, yet its not even acknowledged or mentioned. 2. One team publicly apologized and acknowledged that it went too far, one team did not, yet we haven't done enoug...
