    Phil Davis will get slaughtered by Buddy Franklin in Round 1.

    Didn't Rendell (in whom we trust) say words to the effect that Davis could play on the ball when we recruited him? I say leave him on Franklin even if Buddy goes into the middle, as long as the Hawks aren't trying to engineer a Pagan's paddock setup, with Buddy one-out with Davis on a long...

    Team Rd 1

    It's all going to end up with someone having their hand cut off:

    Team Rd 1

    I agree with your thinking. The only change I can imagine, on a purely horse for courses basis, is bringing in Sellar for Stevens: * The Hawks have Buddy, Roughie & Hale up forward to match up on, so an extra big body down back would help * We could use an backup ruckman * I'd like to give...

    The Last Crow Older than You

    I remember thinking near the end of Darren Jarman's career "Jeez he's getting on. How much longer is he going to play?" Then they published his birth date. He's 4 days younger than me. Way to make me feel old, DJ :-) So the answer to the question is "the last player on our list who was...

    Official NAB 2010 Draft Rumors/Predictions/Preferences...

    the Coase Theorem? Back to MR's statement: If GC can accurately predict our valuation of the players in the draft, they can manipulate the game to their advantage. So basically GC are trying to second-guess everyone, letting players slide until later on the draft on the expectation that the...

    Biggest positive from trade week

    I agree. Anyone there at 84 in the draft will still be available in the rookie draft, and we'll have plenty of space on the rookie list. In fact, I think our rookie draft will be the more interesting one.

    Substitutes in for 2011

    I'm inclined to think the opposite. There may be one or two players who essentially become specialist substitutes. They'll be brought on at or just before 3/4 time (barring injuries), and they'll have their tank tuned for just one quarters worth of high-performance output.

    Bock Compo - Appeal to the AFC and AFL

    I agree that this'd be the easiest system, but it's still not perfect. Consider this situation: GAblett goes into the draft, nominating a $1.9M per year salary and 5 year contract demand. Gold Coast take him with pick #89 because no-one else can afford that. If that happened, Geelong fans...

    Rumour CROWS-RELATED TRADE RUMOURS/PROPOSALS - ALL trade rumours & proposals go here! (Part 2)

    Something I haven't seen discussed: If we re-sign Knights and get both Walker and Jacobs, we may be in the position where we have to trade a player to fit under the salary cap. I'm assuming that Knights is getting a pay rise, and both Walker and Jacobs would command mid-level salaries. I'm...

    Rumour CROWS-RELATED TRADE RUMOURS - ALL trade rumours go here!

    Not this year we don't. If Knights walks out on us and goes into the draft, he'll end up on the Gold Coast, not in Melbourne. If for some reason GC don't want him he'll end up in Perth :-) So if he wants to go home the Crows have to find a trade that they're happy with.

    Ryan Griffen doesn't want to leave Melbourne

    Griffen can only come to us if the Bulldogs accept the compensation they'll get for him. Bock left us without knowing that we'd get fair compensation. But to answer your question: no, all is not forgiven. I'd expect that if Griffen does end up with us, the Bulldogs fans will boo him at every...

    Wake up people - that loss was vintage AFC

    What did you say at 3/4 time in the Geelong game?
