McKernan for Spriggs? you've gotta be kidding
but maybe Murphy for Clarke cause he's supposed to get delisted anyway, so that'd be an allright deal. You can have Clarke anyway. His kicking's useless.

Are you insane ?
Murphy left geelong in disgust over Darren (cheap shot) Milburn's disgraceful hit of SOS.
He didnt even attend the mad monday with Geelong players & desperately tried to get back to Carlton - at least he wants to be there. you can trade him anywhere but Geelong would rather have Saddam hussain as their #1 ticket holder than Justin Murphy on their list.
If we could get Bartel for Livingston, we would pay Livo's limo bill up the HWY (as long as it was a 1 way trip) !
Dont know about you fellas but I'd rather not draft anyone over 23 or 24 years of age - lets face facts, we need to rebuild & perhaps keep a core of 26-28 year olds on our list to build around.
We should look at playing finals in 2-3 years, but give it a good shake, not just do an adelaide & top up - very reminisent of Carlton mid-late 90's, early 2000's, there bubble will burst in 3-4 years, but will they have a flag to show for it ?
