I'm not sure id say bad, CC is a footballer before athlete. He is a classic offensive accumulator. The one thing he has done well at every level is to build stats numbers. He will float forward and kick goals at times. I don't think his natural game is to defend and he is not a natural runner...

Its depends on the role you want to play him in. Midfield and running fine..but not FP. Watching yesterday , maybe a few you you guys look tired so he would probably be a good add. At the stage now he needs regulars games.

Iva ..can I ask the talent you have identified for all that for 3 players? I doubt North could say no that.

Iva ..'poaching' is such an emotive word. IMO, all clubs trade for other players, personally poaching I would have thought was something when we have lured a player away based on money or something they were not entitled to. Perhaps one could say any club who grabs a high priced FA sort of...

Yes you make a descent case... no club really wants players clogging Scap in the 2nd's, sometimes you take what you get and move on and the win is the cap space. Id have thought you may have a young kid that would be the go for the BLine. Your young kids are so exciting but perhaps you feel its...

Hey K The HSun mentions top30 pick.. I presume you would think thats a bit light. I agree on him not playing hurts his value... can you see him getting games? Not ideal, down side of having such a good young kid in King I guess

Conrats guys.. you have got a ripper in Rowell...My bet is you will be getting the cheque book out as soon as the afl allow it... add the others that haven't been seen yet like Flanders, Sharp and Rankine you really look to have built a solid group of young players. Perhaps your best group ever...

Congrats on BKing guys well done.....

Hey Bods... interesting post. To get Suns winning now ..what would you propose.. more kids with the mind to winning in a year or two ..like Brisbane? More seasoned players mid 20's ? I agree on the super comment ..if you have a look back in the 80's when the Bears were established this was...

He is no Ben King but he really has been playing well enough to get more of a go ... I guess it just gets back to where they all fit .. 2mp, BK , Day .. Buzza is not a small guy. When I have watched he actually has played reasonably down back as well..

WB has improved this year yet cant get a go... Crossley's situation changes it..probably no cost dice roll..

Its risky ..yes but players can do a knee the first training session post the draft. Id separate Cockatoo .. his form pre draft was far less exposed ... Now that was a risk . Geelongs ealiest pick in 12 years .. and he still has time ..but atpit is Wells worst pick in 10-15 years .. probably...

Could easily be .. especially if the club has no need for immediate youth..

Previously each club has complained about being pushed back one pick when early picks were added..Priority Pick or compensation picks .. same affect... so id say it would be more than just Melb who would be negative about it. Its why I think its should not be about a one off pick but a full on...

Interesting point.... have you changed your mind on Robertson ? No doubt the talent this year is not as developed or as obvious. To me the logic of P2 for Martin says that should be enough.. perhaps some icing.. yet as you mention the draft this year may means P2 for Martin and P14-P18...

It would seem this part is just as interesting as the playing ... if he could encourage and help indigenous players to settle and develop ..be a huge get...

The pressure thing ..which im sure is seen as Vic thing ..really could be swayed a bit if the emphasis is not on you being a special case just this year... but a update to the draft that has lost some of its equalisation power due to the introduction of FA. This type of thing has been discussed...

K... would he really be right fro you with the way your are being coached? ie hard contested football.. You guys have had several players who have oozed class and skill etc... and most younger than Gibbs and not all have worked for you. When he played Geelong two weeks ago he looked like he...

Pretty sure he will be delisted at years end .. so it more a choice on list positions. Will he take games away from younger players etc.

Club call I guess.. might be a judgment based on list spots? ...

Mentioned in the HeraldSun as linked to a move back up to the Suns as a backup ruck.. wants to settle there after footy...

Its not really about trust .. one just has to accept that all clubs will be looking and talking.. and player managers will certainly talk to clubs. Its probably a bit early for 100% of the player talk to make the papers but the last few years if we are interested in players its made the...

OK Bods.. but I'm not coming on here to upset anyone etc. If we replicate the type of Trade Period as last year ..I dont really see the ideal candidate on your list (imo) ..not this year. If King doesnt want to extend next year ..Id think he would fit needs and be worth a talk for sure. By the...

I dont see this being Carlton V GWS .. you have been playing a very contested style... and we are 8-1 .. ..which is just another way of saying due for a loss.. if you hang in long enough and start to believe then an upset is a realistic option. if you make the most of your chances. Your form...

On 360 the other week the described each other as Selwood and Fyfe. Id say Anderson is more the tallish outside goal kicker from what I have seen.. My visual was a Duncan/Pendles type but no comparison is exact and how they transfer is not always true either. I know Stk and Haw are spewing...

Wouldn't say that .. I asked for your feel as I see you as heart and feel type follower. My assesments are the superficial of an observer who supports another club but also wishes success to the struggling & new clubs. Your assessments are the ones of someone feels the progress. I doubt anyone...

Its a pro environment.. and part of that is always looking at alternatives , if player or other clubs raise them.. doesn't mean you have to act if you dont like the deal while players are contracted..

Bods .. how do you feel the new draftees have gone?... I doubt you could have got better quality.. but , imo , its shows how some luck and some type adapt to the higher level quicker than others. From what I have seen the two this year would likely adapt quickly .. so whether that encourages...

That pick is dependant on Carlton. If they start winning ..we will see it change.

They would want both but thats not happing in one trade. Probably something for a Crow to answer .. but as a guess I'd say they would ask for Luk
