The game is about 20 minutes to long in my opinion. It feels like some quarters drag on more than they used to 10, 20 or 30 years ago. An ideal quarter is between 25 to 28 minutes. Plus take a minute or two off each off the breaks.

Sad story but not really sure its the AFLPA's problem? Any reason why there wouldn't be criminal charges.

Thanks, hope your right. As you say plenty of football still to be played. Welsh has really dropped away. There was even a suggestion he could of been pick 1 about 12 months ago.

I think every Player Manager and media reporter knows we have cap space which is why we keep getting thrown out there as the club trying to get everyones signature. Anyway you couldn't give three to Yeo. I doubt that is the offer if there is even an offer.

It's come at the right time for Nicks. He escaped a fair bit of scrutiny from the weekend. A win this week and the media will claim all is good.

I think this is the move that needs to happen. Smith ran wide and got a heap of cheap kicks but he can't defend. Only point I'd make on the above is we as supporters always assume older players are important for experience. I'm not convinced in our case that we want the experience.

The club is certainly confident they are getting a quality player in. I don't see how the Swans can keep Heyward on big money. He is a good player but they have some absolute elite players that need to pay.

I think you are a better shot this year than last. There are not that many good teams.

They will finish top 4 now and outside Sydney who a younger no one else looks that good. I think they are a better chance to win the flag this year than last.

He is really playing for frees this season, goes week at the knees and throws himself forward. Such a good player, he doesn't need to get that reputation.

I can't work out what going on at GWS. I had them easily top 4 but they might miss the top 8.

Keane has exceeded expectations but I don't think he has been that good.

Training drill

Hopefully all those people who said we would win all the close ones this year and play finals are having a rethink. You watch football enough it doesn't work like that. Every club in the off-season counts the close losses as a win.

This goes against their usual flat track bully status but I can see the Hawks winning on Sunday. On paper last week was a great win by Port but I think Geelong were way off in the first quarter. Port are at their best when the opposition doesn't pressure and defend and there was none of that...

I am sure we will try when he reaches free agency but at the moment he will cost too much in draft capital / players. Our best chance was going to be that his form declines to a point where the Suns need him off their books. I don't think he will leave if Gold Coast keep on their current...

100% agree, the second week the opponent always struggles when the Suns have been up there for a week.

Huge bonus for the Suns in the second game of their Darwin stint. They are always better adjusted to the conditions compared to their opponent. I also don't think the Cats are that good. I think their draw helped them get the early wins, they are a 5 to 8 in my opinion.

I would be from what I know but I'm no expert in the draft. I just feel like we have a highly rated local and in the past we haven't done enough to take them. It's definetley going to be hard and will depend on where we finish and how high other clubs rate Draper. I'd include next year's if we...

Have to get him in my opinion. I think that's part of the reason Petty is off the table as we need our picks. Justin Reid is always given a list of priorities for each off season he needs to achieve. This year's should say 1) Get up high enough to take Draper 2) make it so we take Welsh as a...

I don't see a real need for Port to pay overs for Hayward. I am sure they would take him but not on big dollars. I think they will offload Marshall and chase a key forward to go with Lord.

I agree, the ideal scenario is two taller players esspecially with one covering the ruck for 5 minutes a quarter. I think getting the mix right with Fog and Welsh in the same forward line is going to eventually bring it unstuck. I can see Fog being traded if it works out well with Welsh.

I'm not convinced Welsh and Fogerty will work together. Hope I'm wrong. Either way this should be the plan.

I think Laird and OBrien are alot more than moderate. Likewise Fog. Any player with any value wants as much money as they can. Tex would of cared a bit less in recent years but we paid him really well. I also think Milera is on really good money. He negotiated his contract when there was a...

I'd be shocked if guys like O'Brien's and Laird and others weren't already heavily front loaded so I think we have plenty of cap space.

Be surprised if we weren't trying to get Draper with our first pick. We might need to trade up to get him.

Looks that way. I still think Gold Coast with their draw could sneak in but can't see anyone obvious to drop out

Nor should we have rolled over. We played a team decimated by injury coming off a game last week where they played with 20 players and we were at home.

You could be right. Even 9 from 14 to me seems out of reach. I think we will get 7 maybe 8 wins from those games.

I think the gap was already to big but I think its all over now. We need 13.5 wins if we are lucky? We won't win 10 of our last 14.
