    I was wrong

    In October last year there were a lot of threads going around here about our prospects for 2011. I was of the strong opinion that we couldn't win it, and posted several contributions along these lines: "... in the second half of the year we were clearly a good 10 goals or more off...

    McGlynn or Sidebum?

    OK all you Hawk and Pie supporters - I'm thinking of bringing in one of these two basically as a cash cow for a 4-5 weeks, although whoever I get in is probably likely to start on the ground so points also relevant. My thoughts: - Sidebum $100K cheaper, so will free up more cash for me -...

    Some thoughts on the Adelaide NAB Cup Game

    Ablett is a freak. Best player in the comp by a fair margin. Lonergan and Gamble both very solid up front. A couple of big marks by Lonners, which is a good sign, and Gamble was a nuisance all night. The usual suspects - Corey, Bartel, Selwood, Ling - all look in great nick. Stokes also...

    340K forward

    I'm in the market for a forward around the $340K mark. I think these are my best options: Scott Lucas ($338K) - at his best a $600K player, but can/will he produce that sort of form now? Alwyn Davey ($344K) - had shocking run with injuries the last two years, but great tackler and goal...

    A very black day in our club's history ...

    Geelong's Shannon Byrnes, who had flirted with leaving the Cats for a club that would offer more senior opportunities, has indicated he now wants to stick with Geelong in 2009. http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/news/okeefes-deal-hits-the-wall/2008/10/09/1223145543685.html?page=2...

    "Last uncompromised draft"

    I'm hearing this phrase and variations of it thrown around willy nilly at the moment. It could be that I am sick today and not thinking straight, but I must confess I don't understand it, especially in the context of refusing to trade high picks for experienced players. Sure, I know that GC...

    I'm getting annoyed ...

    ... with the media coverage of last night's game. FFS, we won by 5 goals and they only kicked a total of 7 for the entire game, but reading the papers this morning you'd think that they had the game done and dusted but for a couple of wonky shots for goal and one 50/50 umpiring decision going...

    Davenport to debut??

    Interesting report in the HUN this morning. I don't think it would be a bad thing if Davenport got a go - he certainly has been carving up the VFL for a long time now, so I think he deserves a shot. As long as Prismall gets a game as well. Not sure about a tagging role though. Davenport's...

    Gamble or Jetta?

    I have both these blokes in my team, but with Dew already on my bench and plenty of trades in hand I'm planning to trade one out to make sure I don't make any on-field donuts this week. Question is, which one? Gamble is out suspended for one week, but competition is fierce for spots in the...

    Reg Hickey's Phantom Draft

    Here’s my little contribution to the proliferation of phantom drafts. I have tried to base it primarily on club needs, so my comments on each player generally relate to that rather than a generic description of the player himself (and we’ve seen plenty of descriptions from others so I’m not...

    A proper thread about Henry

    All this gumph about living next to Henry Playfair or being on Couchy's garbo run or whatever isn't answering the real Henry question. What are we going to do with him? He wouldn't seem to have a future in the forward line with Hawkins being drafted and NA coming on well last year. Grima...

    Trade week over - back to the draft!

    The week is over and we've still got SJ, Callan and Woja, and no extra picks. So now that our position is a bit clearer, what do we do about our first pick at #7? I'm a bit torn. Seems to me that according to most judges there's a fairly clear top seven - Gibbs, Hansen, Gumbleton, Thorp...

    Changes vs Sydney

    In: Lonergan, Tenace, Rooke, Bartel Out: Riccardi, Wojcinski (??), Blake, Playfair No Gamble, Stokes or other young players that we were apparently going to play Why has Wojak been dropped? Would have liked to see Blake stay in too Presumably Lonergan will play forward, if Henry's out and...

    Kent's Future

    I was thinking about what to do with Kent last night. I don't think he has a real future at the Cats, and its hard to see us just delisting him - he would have too much value. So then I thought about which club he would be of most value to in a trade, and I came up with ... ... the...
