[quote="Rosco"]Ok but if it's Gold Coast then why didn't they take the hawks 2017 pick direct? /quote]

My understanding is they werent considering futures for O'Meara and Prestia they want up front payments of picks while they are high. Better off getting 6&10 instead of gambling on it.

Dunstan moved out for his Under 18 year with his brother. So based on what Twomey has said thats a good indicator of a players mentality about playing away from home. he's always said borders, vic country and players that have moved out are quite stable when they go interstate etc. Acres has a dog a...

Hawks have historically been the easiest and most beneficial. Traded Spider but wasted the pick we got, McEvoy went through easily, the pick swap that year was also fair and helpful Helped us get Longer. Then this pick swap which on paper we swindled i think makes them the best team for saints to tr...

Gives us more of a reason to cheer for anyone playing Hawthorn. Love it. Puts us in box seat for a "big fish"!

it kinda makes sense the more i think about it.
pick 50 to the dogs for stevens and that leaves us with 2 second rounders in an even draft and 2 firsts next year.

personally id prefer scrimshaw at that pick though. has the tools to become pretty much anything and i think we are in the perfect window to gamble on a player like that. i reckon we should too alot of our picks have been the safe solid bet and i reckon scrimshaw has that x factor about him. It's o...

Ok i am a doubter of Stevens but thinking about our recruiting as a whole i can come around to the idea. if we can mold Stevens into a similar role of Mav i think there is something seriously brewing down at the club. thinking about the additions since Richo has come in; Membrey, Billings, Freeman, ...

the blokes who posted this havent let anyone down. they shared the pickett news 2 weeks in advance.

POS: Key defender, Ht 194cm, WT 92kg, DOB 13/4/98 From Swan Districts/Western Australia Logue has come into the top-20 because of his unique range of skills. The 194cm prospect has played senior football for Swan Districts this season and was used as a key defender for Western Australia at the unde...

Apart from Myron. Mark Stevens has now come out and said we are in the box seat at the moment for Koby Stevens.

would be very handy and solves the 3rd KPD defender issue.

As much as i think its a bad idea i think we have to trust the process the club is going with/through. Dont see what he can actually offer. Already have a lot of B grade players like him at the moment. I get you need to have a deep list but seems a lot to pay when you can get someone in the draft or...

Only day 1 of trade period so not expecting the ITK sources to update me/us every 20 minutes.

Any truth to the rumour that we made a last ditch offer to tom Mitchell? this comes via a tweet from Troy Hallam.

Be a waste of money, dont see what spot he would take in the side. Just let him go to the dons and target someone genuinely useful for the side.

I just read where Pickett Ahern and Stewart are all expected to leave GWS as well. We should have a go for Paul Ahern, fast mid, Victorian. i heard about pickett and i hoped about ahern being available . ahern is a freak he is rory sloane with harletts kicking ability. i think next year first round...

Sorry but I’m in the mood to do a bit of pontificating. The man of Steele or Superman is a rare find IMO. Yeah I know. You are calling him Superman after only 17 games of footy? Ok, I quite like the nickname. Heard his nickname on a pod in his draft year and loved it and called him that ever since....

Get Superman down to the club! Jack "the man of" Steele. Will look very good in the Red, White and Black.

Has Membrey signed? Membrey is out of contract next season. Apparently the salary cap figure for next year hasnt been announced and that may be a reason why he hasnt signed on yet. Would command a decent figure. I believe Eli is out of contract as well would probably sign him on for another year. P...

Jack Steele seems to be having a hard time deciding if he is staying or coming to us. Another Giant similar to him might be equally an impressive prospect. A midfielder called Jake Barrett. Has not played as many games as Steele but has been literally tearing it up in the NEAFL. I know not a world ...

The more that i think about it better off seeing how 2017 shapes with the defence and seeing if Goddard, Carlisle and a combo of Webster, Roberton, Dempster, White etc all play out. With that being said if Scrimshaw is available at 10 you take him and work the rest out later. From what ive heard and...

the advantage of BLK is they have regular sales at their warehouse in Port Melbourne.
