Unfortunatley Dan players do leave and as they are on lists you can presume they are required players. Goose is very important to us and would be on the best true CHB in the AFL so if he does go we must get what hes worth.

Thats right and Hawtorn has the best list to trade with so if he goes lets get what hes worth in return.

Just remember we came a long way from behind to get GERHIG and BLACK when it looked like we out of the picture from what ive heard we are well and truly in the mix

Although I desperatly want Goose to stay at least if it was Hawthorn we can at least drive a decent deal out of them and they have players we would actually want Jordan Lewis comes to mind as a straight swap.

Said HAWKES were all over him offering him more than us thats all.

Everton the remark that this is why we didnt make the finals I hope you werent refering to Luke Balls nomination for Most Courageous. The way Luke has continually thrown his body around while carrying a obvious injury oozes courage. Anyone who doubts this has clearly no idea.

Hudson is not that good and players dont go for under ther value, unless salary cap issues arise. To think that a club could sneak under another clubs radar and get one of there players cheaper than what there worth is ridiculous.

Barry Young and Justin Blumfield come to mind of players who were excellent in a great side only to produce nothing at new clubs.

Maybe you Congorides should be in charge of recruiting and we will expect 200 game ALL AUST from all draft picks no misses will be accepted.

DERMIE and Big Monkey for Woori Yallock v Silvan with Moorcroft Haynes (both 100 goals plus) Bullen and Hennerman all playing at HEALSVILLE

I would of preferred to play West Coast on Friday night than Richmond, look at the players they had out WC they were the Eagles in name only everything that had made them a good side was taken away. Collingwood finished one win in front of us and didnt play Port awy and Freo at Perth sometimes thats...

Why worry about these sorts of comparisons its like when they compared Hodge to Judd but waited to Judd was basically crippled to declare Hodge better. The Franklin V ROO one was a joke as well.

Collingwood had a horrendus record with injries :lol: your kidding right? Malthouse played his kids because his list is so shallow and he only played them when he knew he could get awy with it. Look at the night against Richmond they had there best team minus three players so they played Toovey Cox ...

What was Attard? Played 20 games so theres your 2 Gilbert and Attard for last year. Armitage Howard and Allen will be players that will play more next year but there on our list so theres another 3 whats your problem remember only 22 blokes out of 38 can play each week so not all are going to or are...

Please dont compare our list to that of Collingwood and say they are better because of games won. Swap our draw with theres for one and the win loss ratio would be the same. Freo at the G on a 5 degree Friday night hardly compares to our road trip with 24 fit players and didnt play Port at Port so t...

Hows this thread looking today?

When the Swans got to 4 points Pies got the next 7 frees to zip and they were ordinary at best.

The umpiring all weekend was terrible West Coast Sydney and Kangas were all fingered. Im waiting for Malthouse to pass comment on the free kick count 27-15 the pies way.Is this part of your conspitacy Eddie?

It amazes me when people like Rodgerfox write that we won against Adelaide but they had no backline yet expect us to win and play outstanding football with our injuries and interupted seasons. Seriously you wouldnt have backed any team with any coach to perform as well as we did this year.[/quote]

Only two ruckman in the comp worth a top ten pick Cox and Leunberger all the rest are injury prone or have had one or two seasons at best or are past it.

Simple answer Saintmik is no we are not in trouble. The list we have has plenty of upside with the majority of our key players yet to reach there potential. With G retiring it leaves us with a more flexible forward line with two key forwards capable of holding down both key posts. The back ups for t...

Thommo will be playing a final for Casey on the weekend maybe he feels his value is there. Rather than spend long periods on the bench in the seniors as a token geture he will play a very important role in the Scorps finals campaign.

Does anyone know who has qualified to play Scorps finals if St Kilda arent in the finals race. Thanks

Yes, its a disgrace alright they showed it when they were doing there run down on other MRP verdicts. I wanted to kick my TV screen in.

Saw on 10 news that Guerra left the field bloodied after a off the ball incident. Darcy was the only dogs player in the area but suprise suprise the MRP are allowing Darcy to play his final game this Saturday. I cant beleive these pack of mafia like officials who arent even trying to hide their corr...
