    Draft Watcher Knightmare's 2013 phantom draft

    KM - two quick questions. Who do you see Richmond taking at pick 11? Any chance kade kolodjashnij will slide there? And secondly, I can't seem to find your actual phantom draft anywhere on this thread - any chance you could PM a link to the first page? Cheers, and thanks again for the...

    How have you seen the start to Reece Conca's career?

    Shocked to see labels on Conca as a downhill skier after almost the entire first half of yesterday's game he was one of a few to really go in hard against Melbourne's bigger bodies. Sure, he didn't get a lot of the footy, but he puts his head over the contest and fights for it - showed a lot...

    What to take out of the game?

    This is very stiff. Having actually been at the game and watched Gourdis closely I can tell you that these two weren't exclusively his fault - the problem lies in our defence not having played together as a unit for long enough. More than any other part of the ground, defence requires a...

    Mega Thread Trading Places - Who Will We Be Chasing

    Re: Who Should We Target At Trade Time? As his contract is expiring this year he'll have to be traded or go to GWS if he moves (which he will). He would also be a UFA if this was next year, we wouldn't have to give anything to get him. I think the upside of trading low value assets ala...

    New logo

    Edit. In my previous post I pointed out that there were financial benefits to the heritage look but failed to list them. They are: Enormously popular sales of guernseys across demongraphics that aren't accessible to more modern designs. Marketability of new designs and intangible value from...

    Mega Thread Trading Places - Who Will We Be Chasing

    Re: Who Should We Target At Trade Time? I doubt they'd even consider Nason. Edwards would have small currency. Would probably take more. I could envision a 'sign and trade' w/ Nahas - word is North amongst others are monitoring his situation. Would make valuable and replaceable currency.

    New logo

    Sh@t. I just wrote a huge response to this thread that didn't post. It had sales figures for guernseys and internal dialogue from other clubs and everything. *sigh* In short - Switches to new logos and strips in the AFL have been universally deemed as failures, both from a financial and a...

    Injury Astbury - Knee cap dislocation

    Still a horrible injury that has the potential to seriously impact on ligament and kneecap stability further down the track. Derailed my junior career at 16.

    Big rumour. Nahas to GWS

    One comment, one question here. Comment: As good as Conca has been, GWS would be insane to offer him anything close to 500k over three years from 2013. Throwing money at a sure thing like Scully or Martin is one thing. At a first year player who's been extremely good but not shown anything...

    Re: Who Should We Target At Trade Time? I'd also love to see some footage of Trengove if anyone has anything decent. He's an interesting prospect.

    Mega Thread Trading Places - Who Will We Be Chasing

    Re: Who Should We Target At Trade Time? I should clarify here that we won't be able to get him for a PSD pick - North will force us into a trade knowing GWS (who don't want to trade for him or tempt him with the big bucks) can snap him up before us in the PSD. They'll be looking for a late...

    Mega Thread Trading Places - Who Will We Be Chasing

    Re: Who Should We Target At Trade Time? The Big H's contract expires this year. Is anyone else looking forward to having all contract expiry dates released when FA comes in at the end of this year? The one positive byproduct of a horrible shift for the game.

    Mega Thread Trading Places - Who Will We Be Chasing

    Re: Who Should We Target At Trade Time? Have it on 100% secure authority that we are throwing large money in a front-ended 4 year deal at McIntosh. Unhappy with Goldstein replacing him as long term ruck 1 at North. North not willing to pony up the cash he wants as they're saving for a crack at...
