Freo and Collingwood need to do Schulz too. Is Schulz valued higher than Henry would you think? Or vice versa... So then either Schulz for #33 then Henry + #33 for #20 OR Henry for #34 and Schulz + #34 for #19 Or some 3-way variation of the above. Which might leave us with #13, #33, #34...

There's no guarantee of senior football at the Saints either... but 3 years at the Dogs on ?$400k pa = $1.2m vs ?1+1 at the Saints on similar coin... it's a no-brainer for him really. A shame as I rated him as a guy who read the footy well in flight and has good disposal... but he got bad...

The Bulldogs may swap a couple of their teen picks for Gold Coast’s #4. If we can collect a swag of 2/3/4 rounders for the likes of Coffield, Clark, Billings etc then we could trade those with GC for another 1st. All hypothetical at this stage but that is the sort of flexibility I’m sure SOS...

Just interested to know MisterD, does that mean if you upgrade this week then you will be a Gold member in time for this year's Grand Final allocation?

Agree re Hill. I hope he can still be playing like this in 2 years time when he ought to have better connection with more mature (though still young) forwards as Owens, Hammer and Max get more experience under their belts. I think it is time for cool heads. We’ve had one thrashing and one poor...

On the train coming back from the game. A few comments from centre wing… Q1 - no spread, beaten on the ground and in the air. Smacked in the clearances. Showed that we are mid table and Brisbane challengers. Also clear why we are apparently in for TDK. Marshall struggled in the ruck and we had...

Technically it means that we don’t gain a pick (Gresham compo) but I know what you mean. Trouble is that is seems that in order to keep Gresham we may have to pay overs (speculation on my part) and that in order to attract Parish we would also have to pay big $$$… both of those things would...

I don’t think he is at a high enough level nor ever will be to be a difference maker as a small forward. I think he has shown glimpses that he can be a ball winning mid who can dish the ball to outside runners. He looked like he was tracking to be an elite handballing, run and gun mid a couple...

$$$ He likely won’t come to us but why not test the Bombers resolve and offer a truckload? Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Disagree. Gresham wants big money on his next contract. That’s fine, but a small forward doesn’t deserve mega-bucks. A ball winning mid who can rotate through the forward line and kick some handy snags does. Gresham is an excellent centre clearance player and we’re light on in that type of...

Agreed. Looking back missing out on Jye Caldwell a couple of years back stings… a mid or two like him in this year’s trade/draft period would be great. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Not as simple a question as that because of the salary cap. A better question is… Is he playing at the level at which he is being paid? No. If we overpay Gresham it has consequences elsewhere. Using captain hindsight if we aren’t paying Gresham so much in 2020/2021 then we might have been...

Agree re Membrey, with Hammer and Max being our starting forward Talls he’s competing with Mitch/Philippou/Billings/ on the half forward line. Billings is another who might be trade bait… but Membrey will be 30 next year and Billings 28 and so imo may not command much beyond a 3rd or upgrade of...

Michael Voss presser on now… “I liked aspects of our game… it was the most ‘us’ that we have been…” I know he was a great player but seriously as an observer of the game he’s clueless. I am struggling to understand how anyone could tip Carlscum tonight… they have been putrid ever since round...

I’m one of those posters… used to be active here and in SS 10 years ago… kept my membership all these years but hardly been to a game since having young uns. This year my 10yo son has been getting interested and we went to 6-7 games together. He loves Max King… When I told him Ratts has been...
