Nothing new on Haynes deal? Very quite on Saints front.

Outside run, elite skilled midfielders must await Us in the draft.

If Mumford retires, GWS may need to up the stakes for HIckey? It's a risk on our side but may be worthwhile if we can land a player of Haynes or Tomlinson calibre?

Any update on Haynes status? Has Tomlinson leap frogged ?

Would have to think HIckey or Lonie forming some part of a deal if we aren't trading 7,8.

That is a fair comment re Trout and finding players with good families and character. Plays a part but end of day we need decent footballers as the first prerequisite!!!

Trout must be under pressure. Last year performance a little underwhelming and his strike rate with rookies is pathetic at best.

Agree. Keep posting Jaxons.

There are way more genuine folks on this forum who really appreciate your feedback. I for one cannot wait for your updates....don't let a few loud mouth trolls get in the way. They should be banned or encouraged to move on elsewhere.

Agree 100% with posts re his ankle injury. Mav at 70% was still better than Long or Lonie at 100%. He had a 4-6 week ankle injury, but only missed one game. Then rolled the same ankle twice within next 6 weeks. Try kicking a ball and running out games and kicking a ball shot up with painkillers. Not...

I would take a look. He was the difference kicking 5 goals when he played us this year.

Retire - Dempster, Roo, Joey
Delist - Pierce, Holmes, Wright, Lonie

Rookies Delist - Coughlin, O Kearney, 2 x Irish rookies

Trade potential - Dunstan, Savage, Armitage, Hickey

Trade targets - Kelly, Martin, Shaw / Hall (Gold Coast), Jackson Trengrove (Port)

He won't be staying at Richmond !!! Someone is right into him, just not sure if us or North.

Would we take Martin? I have a suspicion we are into him.

History suggests that if you haven't signed by now that the chances of staying are slim.

I believe one of our biggest weakness right now is our lack of midfield experience. We don't have an experienced head (or two) to take hold of game when it matters. Really miss Armitage as he is our oldest and lost experienced mid.

Did anyone work out why he didn't play for Sandy on weekend ?

Richardson has zero Plan B....

No pressure, no accountability. He is losing credibility and quickly

73-60. Port coming home hard

60-35 3/4 time. Freezer, Dunstan, Acres & Weller all playing well.

Apparently Carlisle didn't train at Sandy this morning ?

Might be some doubt hence Marshall upgrade.

Paddy - not sure if 100%, no Footy for 2 weeks, opportunity may give him the opening he needs?
Acres - plays as 3rd tall who gets a run through midfield
Battle - don't think he has done enough?
Hickey - Forward option ? Hard match up in air
Marshall - been swung down back at wrong time

Sorry Rice 30 disposals ... got to be close !

Just checked Zebra twitter

Dunstan 32 disposals- 2 goals
Rice, White & Acres 25 disposals

Fair performance by Acres if reports true he played only a half

Any one go to the game ?

Reports -best players, goal kickers????

Best players??

If Richardson doesn't tag Sloane ... I give up!!!' I would put Mav on him.

We have a serious lack of elite ball users. Billings perhaps ..on his day.

I would look very hard at our Recruiting team. We have far too many guys in the side who under pressure, butcher the ball.

That's why Hawks so good in their day. Elite ball users under pressure.

Spines of plastic .. you would think a response would be in order with hungry players wanting a crack at Senior level.

Hopefully they have a crack and don't put out a "p$ss" weak return.

Stand up and deliver. If Marshall, Long, Rice play well they deserve a crack.

What about Hugh Goddard - how is he going ? As a top 20 pick we really need to get him up and going. Seems a little slow, hopeful he can develop. Important player, a backup key back but also as a standalone back to help give us option to swing Carlisle forward. Richo didn't have the courage at 3/4 t...
