Here's a few players in bigger numbers for consideration... 29 Russell Greene - Traded to Hawthorn at the height of his powers. 30 Brian Gleeson - Gun player in the late 50's. 31 Jamie Shanahan - If you can forgive the 97 GF. 32 Robbie Mad Dog Muir - Clinically insane but a damn good footballer. 33 ...

I can't believe he was even suspended for his brain fades. He was hardly Gerhig where if he hit you it would worry you. Chris Judd and Swan have more "brain fades" but are not suspended? I would love to know who people think the FBs that rate higher than zac are. Scarlett, Glass, possibly...

Glad McQualter has been moved on. 12 months too late Yep two of our three softest players have now moved on in McQualter and Dawson. The only one left now is Gram. McQualter was slow, didn't get enough of the ball and always seemed overwhelmed by self doubt at senior level but I wouldn't have said ...

While I agree that premiership winning teams have gun midfielders I don't think Goddard is a gun midfielder himself. He struggles to win the ball off the deck when playing out of the square. It would be interesting to see how his stats stack up with clearances and contested possessions. Not that go...

If we are going to have a mosquito fleet we need Mozzie Milera in there. Schnides could be a rebound back pocket running the ball out of defense as well if one of the new guys can take a forward spot Wilkes has been recruited as a big full back replacement in my opinion. You're probably right about...

31 years old. Career average 3 goals a game. 48 from 17 games at Brisbane last time out but completely ran out of steam later in the season. Is he worth all the scrutiny, the angst, the negative press for a couple of goals a game at best?
