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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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.

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...

To be honest, I'd be very surprised if we did get him, but I think we would be one of the teams in the running for him due to one factor - Malthouse. He's a players coach, and is one of the best at extracting good things out of players who have had their issues off the field in the past. Eg...

Where did he say that? By gee I hope it's not true.

Yeah, their culture stinks like s**t. Just the fact that he could walk out on the Tigers speaks volumes of the guy. Clearly putting himself above the club at the tender age of 22. The club has given him the chance of chasing his dream and have stuck by him through his difficult times yet could...

Fits in beautifully in the dickhead culture they have down at the Westpac Centre. Perfectly.

Well, I would prefer we hold onto our first rounder because first round selection are like gold these days if used well. Warnock and Lucas are surplus to our needs, but those two alone clearly wouldn't be enough to get Patton over the line. What do you suggest?

Warnock, Lucas and 3rd rounder? Would love Patton. Now there is a guy that definitely fills a need.

Don't see why not. Conca just has something about him that suggests he will be elite. Give them Lucas and perhaps a swap of picks.

I'm not going to lie, the prospect of having Daisy fit and firing is mouthwatering. Put him in our midfield along side Judd, Murphy, Gibbs with other players rotating through there, it's a pretty dangerous looking midfield. He is a proven big game player and when on, is a top 20 player. My...

Not much emphasis has been placed on the fact that we are still crying out for a forward to help Waite out. We cannot rely on Waite's body at his age. Hendo is a very good swingman but then that means we have to replace him in the backline if he goes forward.

I must admit, I have loved Betts at his best, but I don't think he would be as big a loss as some think. We have Garlo and Yazza and both of them I feel have their best footy ahead of them, whereas I think Betts' brilliant best may be behind him.

Simmo is the heart and soul of this football club. If you ask me which player in our team bleeds navy blue and plays most for the jumper, this is the guy. An absolute star. Well done Simmo.

No thanks to Didak, can't afford to have *******s like that at our club.

Can't be true. Simply cannot be true. His ankle is cooked. That could seriously set us back if we offer him that. It could backfire something shocking. If true, there's no way he would turn that down.

Yeah I read that, pretty sad that they think getting a better draft pick is consolation cos we "won't go all the way anyway". You're right, winning finals sucks. I'd rather lose them any day of the week :rolleyes:

What a fake club. They have just got knocked out of the finals, but have reacted like they have won the wooden spoon and mass changes are needed. What a disgrace. Arrogant bunch of *en toothless pieces of s**t. Weren't they being talked up as huge finals threats? All this talk about them...
