in 2008 when Croad did his foot he played as a full back Why hasn't he since? Dawson, Schoen...he couldn't push either aside? He has played when fit. Had a quad issue late last year after coming back from knee. Would be cheap and fills a clear hole on our list. Lake has pushed him back in their pec...

Me and Ben McEvoy would beg to differ Con.

.

Thought about him when i read the age article.
If the people in charge feel he is a good fit for the Saints then I will welcome him to the Saints too.

Unless like Goddard with the Don(s), and we get an offer that we can't refuse, I don't want us parting with our first round compensation pick. Best available young player IMO. Who's to say that our club don't think that Caddy is the best available young player? He's only 20. If that is the case, I'...

No way. I see that as if we were giving up pick 13 for Hickey. If Gilbert were part of the trade it would be our mid-second round pick I'd be giving up at the most, and even then i would be a little concerned. Maybe they can throw us in a late pick as well then. We need our min 3 picks in the draft...

From everything i have heard over the years, Kosi is great off field and with the youngsters.

true jack darling is a mistake (that all vic clubs made) . stefan martin isnt. Would have Darling been as good if he had moved away from support networks/family/friends in WA? Well I traveled back in time, actually got my uni degree instead of dropping out, became a recruiter for my beloved St Kild...

If we get Hickey, it is time for Kosi to retire.... Behind Roo, Stanley, Lee, Wilkes for KPF and behind Mcevoy, Hickey Stanley for Ruck duties He'll be handy in showing them how to train. How to pre-pare, and many other little tangibles you and I will never be privy too. Kosi will be around for at ...

Would suit our needs. Just mentioned this in the Raph thread.
But I wonder if GWS can pre-select Joel Tippet, like they did for Saad and Milera, and then we could trade a player or pick for JT?

I like Raph. Has many positives. Size, pace and courage in spades.
I still think he is a half forward and he would definitely have some value.

Good luck on wherever you end up Raph.

I'm sick of the club being shafted on things like this. How are we getting shafted? We haven't been yet, but let's see how it pans out. If we don't get adequete compensation we ought to raise hell. Also, we need to know NOW what they compensation is so we can start negotiating. We should get the fi...

How are we getting shafted?

Easiest way would be to look at Blake's?!

Would rather spend that money on a 25 year old KPF than a 28 year old utility.

Our 'fans' booed Kosi off this year. Don't think he'll get a warm reception at all.

He's done nothing wrong though, almost helped us to a flag.

Interesting that his ex coach didn't put a formal offer to him. May have made a formal offer, BJ just didn't sign it. Offer must be submitted to AFL with players signature on it. Freo may have been offering more, but if BJ doesn't want to go there and he doesn't sign the offer sheet, nothing happen...

Nice little collection provided there, thanks old mate.

Let's think this through ... Firstly why would west coast trade Mitch Brown a key back with big value to a number of clubs for Jamie Cripps who in all honesty would struggle to break into the WCE team ? Brown is contracted so there is no need for WCE to trade him especially when they consider Glass...

No to Salopek. Maybe 2 years ago, definately not now.

No trade will be done with the Bombers. Why would they give up a wanted player for someone they could get for nothing?

If Hille gets squeezed out, could be a worth a look late in the draft as a backup for McEvoy.

Not sure if we'll have much choice! If he wants to go home, he wants to go home! My understanding is he doesn't want to head home however is open to the idea as St Kilda are targeting a WA player and will use Cripps as trade bait. name the player My guesses: Mitch Brown or Koby Stevens Broughton wa...

It worries me that the club has a lack of faith in Macca as is being reported on here.... I certainly hope we don't spend any of our top 2 picks on a ruckman. No one from the club has said anything about a lack of faith in Big Mac that i know of. That was Jake Niall and/or Michael Gleeson's opinion...
