Depth is not a massive issue at this stage, yes we will be limited but we ca survive it. From the team that lost to freo, we have goodes, Tippett, Mitchell, Johnson, shaw, franklin , lrt to come in and Mumford and white out ( so far). It will help if we can keep dre and Armstrong,. Membrey , towers and Lockyer will be pushing for games aswell as Perris. Yes we don't have an abundance of depth players but we still have a tough 22 to pick from
Can u blame him at the offer he got , Swans would never match it and yer we had a heap of injuries and he still didn't get a game in finalsif this year taught us anything its that injuries can kill a season, why are we making it harder for us?
the players you listed are all good, but mostly older players
losing a first pick in the draft who showed promise like lamb is just annoying
Lamb and pick 39 for pick 21 maybe?
I hope we talked to Longer and see if he could have been persuaded our way, exactly what we need. We can offer more than the saints can in pick 15 which suits Brisbane, unless they offer their pick 4. Which they'd be mad to do.
He is rated a bit higher, but it would be a similar to our selection of Mummy from the Falcons. Don't know if we have the coin anyway, and I think he wants to get to a Vic based club.
Having said that, who knows what they are doing up in Brisvegas. The club seems to be in turmoil at the moment so you never know.
Is there any base to the Longer talk or is it just hoping we have talked to him.The word is saints will only offer 25, they have 18, 24, 25 and 4. Unless they package some picks we can trump them with our 15.

Longer has already asked to be traded to St Kilda, I doubt he would change his mind now.
It's not that we cannot afford them. We have cap space due to our retirements, but we do not want to get locked into paying Mumford, White or Lamb over what we consider is fair value. Mumford is on good coin over at GWS, and the deal for Lamb would be a significant increase on what we consider he is worth. We need to keep cap space to retain players we actually want, not fringe players that we can take or leave.I can't see Longer wanting to go to Sydney unless we offer him heaps, and given we apparently can't afford Mummy, White, Lamb, etc....
Why not
First he wanted to go to hawks
He just wants to play AFL, going to melbourne would be an added advantage
Im sure if we approached him and told him he would be in our 22
he would seriously consider us

Remember that Parker, AJ and Spangher were all drafted after Lamb in the 2010 draft and each has played more games than him since, and are more valuable players (with the possible exception of Matty at Hawthorn).
If he wants guaranteed gametime he is far more likely to get that at St Kilda than Sydney next year.
At St Kilda he will most likely be their number one ruckman.
They rate Hickey very highly at St Kilda, would be behind him
As for why he didn't go to the Hawks, they picked up Big Boy McEvoy... He would of been lucky to get a game after that with McEvoy, Hale and Roughead all in the same team.
If we had the space for Longer in the cap we would not have let Mumford go leaving us with no ruck depth after Pyke.
THats exactly my point, he is leaving for playing opportunities, and with those players at hawks, he wouldnt get it, thats why he changed his mind to the saints, and thats why is we offered him game time, he could change his mind one more time
St Kilda are pretty likely to use Hickey as a forward who can pitch hit in the ruck with Longer taking the number 1 ruck role.
It's all in preparation for the new interchange cap next year.
Mumford left for 650k
No way Longer would get more than 300k
Massive difference dont you think
If we had the space for Longer in the cap we would not have let Mumford go leaving us with no ruck depth after Pyke.
