I look at Hartung and think he'd be no better than Eli or Sinclair if he was playing for us. Its a no thanks from me

Waiting for others to come on here now and say "We got played" :roll: You're a tosser mate and not even close to being funny. Marchbank nominating another club and not us is not even close to the Laverde situation. Which whether someone uses the words played or used, its true, we were by ...

What? Who got played?? Surely Essendon are the ones whom were played? St Kilda got played. We were used to string along Bombers to scare them into coughing up the dough. We were the guy the cute girl dances with to make her bf jealous. We were played when we were told Lav was ours, knowing he proba...

Nothing. Zilch. Cost the drug cheats though. Probably heaps. So all good.

Agreed. Not sure why some are defensive of the club here. Not saying any posters or the club did anything wrong. Just simply stating we were played.

Jaxons really does know his stuff. It changes constantly and when he broke the news he was spot on. Everyone I'm involved in had It down as 99% certain to. If you really want to see who were after mosy down to Sandy tomorrow arvo and sit as close as you can to the recruiting boys. That's were the f...

Jeez my hopes are now through the roof. T74 and Jax all but confirming Laverde, I'm excited!

Club will turn him into a BJ style utility - but mainly a mid who would be dangerous as a half fwd or back.

I'd love Laverde but Bombers supporters are on a trollfest so I think you are going early with this one. Having said that, was told it was likely to happen 3 weeks ago but I don't believe anything until it comes from the horses (or managers) mouth.

Daniel is a soft as butter seagull, I hate watching him shirk contest after contest then people sing his praises because he can spot a target when he is in space..... .....Steele could be our best mid in a couple of years. Marchbank is worth the risk, risk due to injury history. Imagine Marchbank a...

This thread doesn't have enough Laverde, he is the one I really want after Steele. Steele could be our best mid in a couple of years. Mar...

I'd like to see a trade like this (Just hypothetical) Freo In: Cam McCarthy (GWS), Tom Lee (StK). Out: L. Weller (StK) GWS In: Pick 10 or 11 (StK), Pick 47 (StK), Billy Longer (StK). Out : Cam McCarthy (Freo), A. Tomlinson (StK), C. Marchbank (StK), J. Steele (StK) StK In: L. Weller (Freo), A. Toml...

Onya Tony for all your input and info throughout the season. Very much appreciated.

Watched at training and kid already fits in, I think he will surprise many - already has ready made skills.

We need a third tall defender, a player like Caleb Marchbank should be on our radar. We need another inside out beast with speed and goalkicking abilities, a player like a fit JOM, Shiel, D Martin or Steele An outside runner who doesn't stop running and impacts on the scoreboard like Gaff, Kelly, Or...

Was told we were keen as on White way back at the start of June but as the draft got closer was told we thought he would be long gone by our second pick (if that wasn't Bailey) so not really on radar.

Guessing the club was, and we should be, pretty pumped when they selected him!

Neither. Balic if available. Why because you have seen him play in he lives in your area? I didnt know it was the SE suburban football league. I have no idea he lives and yes ive seen him play live. I take it you haven't had an opinion because you haven't seen them play. What a pathetic post. And f...

Im massive on Rioli, but pick 14 is way too high. Prior to GF day he was predicted to go in the 50s.

If we were picking in the 25-35 range I'd say ok but its not happening.

I think we've been played pretty badly this year. But we've made the best of a bad situation. Pick up Weller and its a good trade period, miss him and its fair. Pick 14 might still be a decent player such is the evenness of the draft in the top 20. We have been into and missed out on guys like Ander...

Missed this, why do they only give 12 hours notice for these sorts of things? Such poor form... They didn't. I got a members email on Tuesday. I take it you are either not a member or have opted out of the email. Communication from our club via email is essential. It's part of your religion. Ah, ye...

I'm hopeful that Essendon accept our offer, which will probably need to be slightly improved from what's reported but not greatly. Jaxons posted weeks ago about JOM, but it seems those initial talks have ramped up a bit in the past 24 hours. It's a chance of working out for us this year which is exc...

One month ago I was happy we had picks 5 and 24 and thought we would snag a young gun and a good kid with a few tricks from the draft. Now I believe there is a strong possibility we could get a top young mid - 5 Freeman - 24 Rice - 45 promote Sinclair - 63 and risk Carlisle in the PSD for peanuts. ...

So much negativity toward Jake. The guy and his manager have done as much as they possibly can to reaffirm his position with our club. I'd suggest those who are dead against him check out what I wrote in the draft/trade thread, I won't repeat at the risk of sounding like a broken record. Any anger t...

This years draft is not like every draft, a top five pick is like gold especially this year. Picks 23 and 25 arent close to pick 5s worth, regardless of how the points system works out the value of a pick. Where people go wrong is that points are only valuable to a club with an academy/FS player - ...
