I thought they had a limit and it sounds like they've chosen their players. If they can place him on the list great.

If that's the case fair enough, like I said I feel for him and he was very good value this sesaon.

Feel for Attard but he should have been left on Rookie List and looked after by club and Geary given his spot as he'll be more valuable. Cannot understand the Jones decision other than they wish to look at him for another year and could not keep him on the Rookie List. He will need to vastly improve...

Well at least Richmond and Carlton.

Nice report to read. Let's hope Eddy is added, an All Australian (with Allen) from last years carnival which isn't bad for a super draft. Between those three we may have some surprise debuts and a much needed injection of enthusiasm and a new look to the line up. Plus whoever we pick up in the comin...

Thanks Aaron, loved your attitude, loved your committment and the way you present yourself to supporters. Cheers

Let's hope the club puts you in charge of our 1st year players including rookies.

Oh good luck to him, hope it works as well as Kouta's 5 year million dollar deal and Kouta was fit when he signed that! 5 or 6 years at 1.2 million, amongst facilities no better than Melbourne's, he must believe they have an excellent medical team by the number of syringes dotted throughout the Lege...

This trade could get ugly if there's a stand off. Pick 3, 20 and Kennedy will be the bench mark. WCE will want more, Carlton will not give up #1 which opens other scenarios: Carlton to trade with another club for another top 10 WCE to canvass what other clubs are willing to offer but then Judd has t...

carlton greg swan said last night on 3aw that fevolva would be staying! Thank god for that! We do have more pressing needs as stated above. We need to have a little faith in what we've got, this years draft and picking up a couple of disgruntled players from other clubs that won't cost us high draf...

Thanks Goodie, I wasn't sure of the order. To me that makes sense, imagine the outcry if a team finished Top then went out in straight sets and had to wait until the eventual Premier made their draft picks.

Yes...a top four finish Yes...if the quality of the 8 and state of the teams injury wise is the same as this years lot. Yes...if Geelong suffer some injuries or their confidence is shaken. Would love to see us butt heads with them in a Grand Final but we'll need a little luck, a lot of improvement a...

Thanks for the information, a very interesting read, looking forward to more. Will be very interested to hear more information in relation to sponsors, past and future...sounds like a bit of a minefield that needs to be stepped through. I hope we can negotiate a deal with Moorabbin, we may need to t...

Should Collingwood's selections be a bit later? I have them with their selections after West Coast and Hawthorn, possibly even the Kangaroos?

Absolutely fantastic post SaintBot, a power of work for a great read. I'll admit I may have been a tad harsh on Beveridge in the past, especially after last season when my mate's son (a mad saints supporter) was overlooked...but I'm slowly building my bridge. He has done alright with a few anomalies...

Interesting that we seem to be targetted by clubs chasing Judd as the 'swing' pick to make the deal go through, why not the Doggies or Freo or the Lions? Do those clubs believe we are a soft touch or a club desperate to trade because we have under achieved in recent seasons? I would be very wary of ...

we should exile the "Believe or burn" garbage and start next season with... "2008. NO EXCUSES!!" That should apply to players, coaches, the board (whomever they may be), and we the fans. I'm sick of playing second fiddle to Collingwood, Essendon and Carlton. I want to see 40,000...

Sorry people I still can't be swayed on why we need to get this bloke...St Kilda since the late 70s has a history of larger than life full forwards, Georgie Young, Jacko, Plugger and the Big G. Unless I've missed something we didn't win a flag in that time. In fact the closest we came was when we ha...

Well said Skeptic, midfield and backline need more bolstering than our forward line. Armitage, Allen, Geary and Eddy will have another pre-season in them so we need to access the next best from this years draft to develop with them.

Forget Fev, the price may be too much to pay in more ways than one.

He didn't sell it to a bloke named Thomas by any chance who said he would pay a bit more once an old mate lent him some cash?

Carlton are dreaming if they think any sane club would offer Pick 9 and their CHB for Fevola...nice try! Would mean they get Judd and Maguire for two first round picks and rid themselves of a player that would worry sponsors. We would lose a first rounder, a CHB and pick up a hot and cold FF and the...

Excues my ignorance but if a club retains a rookie for a 2nd year can that rookie still nominate or be selected during the National Draft which accorhing to the time line at the top of this thread is after the nominations for 2nd year rookies?

Muston and Pick 14

and please lock Geary and Eddy on to our list.
