Honestly im starting to understand the idea of getting rocky. 1. Never been in a good situation up there. 2. Poor coaching 3. Bad Culture. 4. Combination of stubbornness on his part and a bad medical team theyve poorly treated others at the club. i imagine his leadership style is a result. So what i...

sorry @wombat15 cant figure out your reasoning. If we trade our first round and later picks and we dont have a second pick how do we stay in the first and second round. Are you assuming we trade several players to get Steele, Lamb, McKenzie and Hartlett. Or are you just wishing? Mainly wishing. but...

as much as i disagreed with the idea of trading 10 in other threads. i think if we got Hartlett, Steele, Lamb and Mackenzie. if out of all that we had to trade our first rounder and later picks. then we get those players in return and somehow manage to stay in the first rounder and get in the second...

i meant as in their games arent defined by winning their own ball.

Just on what i've gathered over the last few pages. Hartlett, Steele, Lamb and Potentially Mackenzie in. Seems a decent offseason. Get 2 Decent mids, 1 of which can go off half back. Then Mackenzie as a stop gap until HG is ready. Tom Lamb i am a big fan of, dunno how he fits but would be very handy...

Generous. Great footage of him on fox footy during the year showing how he gets burnt by fitter players. Either lazy, or no tank. Needs to fix whatever the problem is in the off season. Yeah looked like he took a couple of steps back this year. didnt look as explosive at all this year compared to e...

oh yeah home ground advantage helps and so do their local umpires but even then. On paper they will have a very good side im just not sure how that will translate into actual play, seeing as Ross is unwilling to conform to the new ways of run and gun footy.

My rebuttal would be; Dont trade armo our mids just arent ready, we dont really have the depth to be trading him. end of 2017 maybe but not at this "crucial" stage. With Dusty you are looking at a brownlow medal contender whos is richmonds version of jack steven. as he can win a game off h...

I reckon its between melbourne and saints for that 8th spot, we are the only 2 teams that are about to stock up in trade and fa. PA are potentially going to lose a few key players, Pies are very overrated, their tall stocks apart from Grundy just arent at a b grade level. Essendon has a whole bunch ...

based on the other players they are interested in; surely theres a chance he either ends up in P.A or GC.

Hes been playing off half back for sandy as a link up player but can run through midfield. Im willing to have my mind changed on the idea but just cant see where he would fit back there. Im only basing this off the interchange cap and what we already have. because would he want to move if hes most l...

Its interesting to see the Venables chat has dropped off. I remember with Peter Ryan had a twitter session he had us interested. The other chatter i was hearing is that Brisbane will bid on Bowes at 2. I would be happy at 10 with us having a shot at Scrimshaw, Venables or Tarranto (the flavour of t...

I hope Barrett is talking about something like this...... Armo traded for pick 15 or better. Pick 15 to GWS for Steele and pick 25 coming back to us. Longer and pick 25 to Richmond for Dustin Martin. If this happens I will be rapt. :lol: Surely Richmond will give us Rance as well if they are willin...

pretty sure hes out of contract anyways. im not bashing the idea of it but where would he fit in a defense that will potentially feature; White, Webster, Goddard, Carlisle, Roberton and Potentially Scrimshaw. just seems an odd target if he would be purely depth with a shot at featuring.

The injury run they've had over the last 2-3 seasons and still hasn't managed to play many games is a worrying sign.

Im certainly buying real estate on freeman island. i know its all "IF'S" but the kids a gun. Was a top 10 pick for a reason in a very strong draft. Spoken to a number of credible sources that say that collingwood were the ones that stuffed him up by overloading him and being careless durin...

To be perfectly blunt. Dont care what the kid does and where he plays, just want him to be clinical with his chances in front of goal.

Surely Fergus Watts from Adelaide. Barry Brooks from Port Adelaide!

Retrospective drafting isn't the way to go about it. At the time Bont had only a couple of good games at school footy and was virtually unused at Under 18 Champs. Was expected to be a 5 year project player. Everyone was laughing at the dogs when they took him. i cant recall any mock draft that had h...

Read somewhere that we are interested in Jarryd Lyons, any truth to that rumour?

Anyone have any intel on Mitch McCarthy?

What does that mean for the potential of Tom Lamb, Jack Steele and Marchbank deals? Please dont tell me Laverde involves our first rounder.

I really hope we arent going to waste pick 10 on Jayden Laverde or Pick 19 on Jack Steele. Laverede hasnt lived up to the hype, played 18 games and has been okay in his 2 seasons. Not worth pick 10. a second rounder yes. Jack Steele recently broke his foot and have had mix reports over the severity....

I liked him too. Recollection that in the 2009 GF he accidentally injured a Geelong player and I had a sense it put him off his game - was a bit of a turning point for us. Anyone else remember that? Not sure i do, But i do remember him showing Joel Selwood in either 2010 or 2011 in rd 1 how to earn...
