I thought this was an interesting quote about our draw last season and our anticipated draw coming up..
"St Kilda is also likely to have a kinder run, having played in Perth twice for the last two seasons and as mentioned above, having a ridiculously strong group of double-ups in 2018."

The big question for mine is what we do if GC take lukosius and Rankine 2-3.
We can pick between Rozee m king and smith..
If I’m port, Would I really trade up 1 pick to get Rozee. They know Rozee doesn’t fit our needs?
If Shiel nominates us we should look at downgrading 4 and 58 for 7 and 19 from the crows, and then trade the 7 to GWS for Shiel. Crows get Rankine at 4, we get a crack at pick 19. I’d even swap future 1st with GWS to sweeten the deal in return for another pick this year, say 23.
We get Shiel...
Can easily walk him to the PSD.
In the PSD you can put a contract sum and term on your head. And I’m tipping fortunately that no other club would be willing to match our offer, so he comes to us.
Why are they splitting the draft into 2 days? It’s going to feel like such a let down to have the first round and then pack their bags and come back the next day to do it all again...
I dont think sydney would be after our 2nd next year. They need picks this year as points for blakey. They currently hold 12, 30, 34. Perhaps the pick we receive for dunstan or hickey goes to them for hanneberry.
Don’t let the truth get in the way of people agenda’s on here!
Completely agree. We lost games where we won the I50 count. That tells me we get a fair bit right, just fail to execute in front of goal and in F50. F50 pressure perhaps?
Music to our ears...Calum twomey on the afl website.
“However, the top end of this year's pool doesn't have the same amount of midfield options as previous years, meaning the Suns could look to draft talls while targeting midfielders through trade or free agency.”
Amazing we delist Freeman literally the day after the season finished. You'd think minchington would have been in the gun before Freeman?!
And if we were going to delist Freeman why not wait and see how finals and trade period panned out?
Maybe the club prefers minch to freeman??
Who knows
Not trading out McKenzie he has been very good and improving
Longer yes, uncontacted
Hickey maybe, but has a year to run so will keep unless we get a very good offer
Only trading out them if we pick up a lycett type.
Dont want to rely on pierce and Marshall as full time rucks..
No point getting hanneberry and losing Steven. Steven is only 1 year older. Why not.simply take the pick we would use on hanneberry yo the draft and keep Steven?
Oh - and I know who's the more durable player....it aint hanneberry.
But yes - shiel for pick 4 is definitely worth it. We need...
Forgive me if this has been mentioned but has anyone at the club or the ITKs said whether we are considering picking Goddard and or freeman as rookies or late national draft picks, should we not recruit well in the draft or trade period??
McKenzie is starting to look the goods.
THe least of our problems on the list.
If we talk about upgrades to spots he could take over from geary which would be a plus..
“Shaken Clarke loose” WTF?
Clarko wouldn’t leave the hawks and if he did why would he come to us.
I hear a lot of ‘sack richo’ on here but nothin about who a viable replacement is? Is there even a decent replacement running around? (Ps I don’t think ratten wants to be a head coach again...
There was no point keeping BJ and Dal. And they weren’t traded, we lost them to free agency. At the time we used the picks wisely. The list needed a revamp of young talent following our list and salary cap was shaped across 2009-2011
I’m staggered by this if true
Rockliff Motlop Watts would have all come in on decent money.
Ryder gray westhoff wines Hartlett wingard Dixon boak Ebert would all be on decent coin too.
Surely they are maxed out!!?
Love it when people say ‘x player is no good or overated we should clearly trade them for a first rounder’
Ross is either a good player and you can get a good pick for him OR he’s overated and you might get a 2nd rounder. Which one is it?
25yo 100 games and has won a BnF.
Not sure trading him...

Do yourselves a favour and watch this clip.
Not surprising that peanuts on here base their opinion of BJ on less than 120m of footy each week and not the 50h+ spent a week in the club and around the players.
