    Essendon v Carlton: Rate the Lists

    Makes me sick saying this, but I'd say Ess. In saying that, neither team will be good enough to win a flag in the next few years with their current lists. Think there are too many teams in front of them and will be in front of them for a while. Ess have very good key position depth, but their...

    Scott Pendlebury vs Joel Selwood?

    Tough decision but I'd say Selwood. I reckon Selwood's ability to impact games is more noticeable than Pendlebury's. So often I feel Selwood has lifted his team over the line. A few games against the Hawks, the round 3 or 4 game against the Swans this year and several other this year have...

    Who did well out of the trade/FA period?

    I don't think there was any clear standout in the period, although I like what the Saints have done. They have made a statement and traded for the future, and now have a relatively strong position in the draft with a few picks insid the top 20. I reckon Savage is a good get for them, I was...

    List Mgmt. Our List 2014 - Trade, De-list and Draft - (keep it all in here)

    Am I the only one concerned about our lack of dealings and efforts to lure players during this trade period? The club talked the talk saying it would be making many changes to its list at seasons end and all we have done is lure a Free Agent in Daisy who has cost us nothing, received a second...

    No wonder the Hawks are successful. They know how to trade. And they're a club that players want to go to. I can't see us being as active as we have made out to be in trade period. Yes, we got Daisy through free agency, but it cost us nothing in terms of picks or players. Our problem is we...

    Dale Thomas - Papers lodged 7th October! - post #1200

    Needless to say, I'm very excited about getting Daisy. If the ankle is all good to go, he still has plenty of good footy left in him. Exciting times.

    News Eddie officially a Crow - post #217

    It's a strange feeling, in one way it's sad to see him leave because he gave us hope during our dark years, but at the same time, it's a bit of a relief cos we have many other areas we need to fix in our team and it gives us salary cap relief to sign some big names. $500k per year over 4 years...

    News Eddie officially a Crow - post #217

    Thanks for the contribution Eddie. Was delaying the inevitable. Been a good servant but we have far bigger needs to address and it now gives us plenty of cap room to manouvre. I'm glad the club didn't match the sort of money the Crows were offering, would have really hindered our ability to...

    Mega Thread Oh yeah ... did you know there are 17 other teams? - General AFL discussion #9 - Blues posters only

    Jesse White has requested a trade to the Filth. Thank god that spud isn't in our calculations.

    I wish we had an ability to attract players, as in hear them say "I want to go to Carlton". In the 80s and 90s we used to be great at attracting players like that.

    No chance. Grundy is crucial to their setup. That would leave Richards as the soul key defender. As good as it sounds, the Swans can't afford to let him Grundy go.

    Surely the compo would be based on his output over the years? He's been the best small forward in the game arguably for the last 5 years. Would be a disgrace if we only get a 3 or 4th rounder.

    So with the likelihood of Betts going to Adel, have we heard any idea on the compo we will receive if he chooses to go?

    Absolutely spot on. Coudln't agree more.

    Rumour The Thread formerly known as the rumour file, now with zero rumours

    Serious? You don't think Selwood for Yarran would be a win for us? If anything, WCE are losing out here. Selwood is in their best every week and has won a best and fairest. Yarran plays 1 good game every 8 weeks. He's exactly the type of player we could do with. Tough, inside mid, can block...
