If Brodie was available at 9 i cant see us not taking him. Would have a few years to learn from the best in kennedy and then come into his peak when kennedy retires, or worst case if Kennedy leaves next year.

I have no problems with the idea that a club should be compensated for its loss, thats fine. My issue is it shouldn't come through the draft system in picks. Giving picks away isn't just compensating one team, it's penalising 17 other clubs, which is absolutely stupid. It's a bandaid fix for a...

The only player I'd take in a straight swap would be smith. If it gets done with picks I'd hope for a something in the top 10, as it stands I don't think 14 is high enough.

"Creative" handballs. **** me. Not even trying to hide it Kingy. The story is more important than the game now. We should start thinking up some sob story bullshit for next year.

Buddy unfortunately was worst on ground, no awareness after that foot injury. Wood allowed to take out our players with impunity. Played a 'captains game' with so many dog acts.How the **** were they allowed to slide into our players legs, it's been a rule all ****ing year you can't take it out...

At the time he was starting his career fairly well, iffy kick at goal but his marks were brilliant and getting 7+ a game. At the time he was well worth the money to lock up his potential. He was the future of our forwadline. Then he never progressed, seemed to lose his ability to mark and with...

I dont believe Collingwood or Hawthorn would have won any flags without their picks (Pendlebury and Franklin) in 2008 and 2010. Poor Saints. For these teams the priority pick system worked well to get them of the bottom of the ladder. For others it has had less than stellar results.

Well its not like we couldn't, he's unrestricted isnt he? So he could go wherever he wants and doesnt have to be paid squillions.

Well, COLA's gone now so you don't have to worry about it. Just like priority picks brought your club from middling to a premiership I'm fine with it if COLA did the same for us.

Yeah I thought the same initially but they called for it before contact was made between the two contests. It was indeed a bad night for them last night, it happens though.

Anyone else see the incident where a free kick was awarded to Richmond for a push in the back with advantage payed, when both swans players were in front of their opponents? Unless the ump called for the wrong free and he meant something else. What the hell happened there.

Can't even imagine how hard it would be to judge throws at ground level if you can't clearly see it, otherwise we end up with a Simon Black incident where the umpire underestimates a footballers ability and awards a wrong free kick. Which is far more frustrating than an unpaid free.

You've got to roll the dice though, just like we did with Tippett and Franklin. I mean Mitchell might never get over his persistent ankle injury. It happens. Richards is a poor example of working superbly imo. It took him 5 years and a freak injury to LRT for him to finally click. Which is...

With the changes to the salary cap system allowing you to hoard space for next year, as well as the yearly increase of 500k in the cap, I wouldn't be ruling out your ability to land big fish just yet.

As much as I would love to keep Mitchell, and think he's going to be an absolute star in the future, I would seriously contemplate a trade for pick number 2 or 3. According to draft reports there are some exciting key defender prospects going to go early in the draft and it's an area we are...
