The whole draft could be an auction setup where clubs bid points for the rights to the next selection.

Given how bad people tell us we are, we must simply be happy to avoid the spoon. Whats that like?

To be fair, they did rate those players highly and they could easily have gone top 10.

Who will? The dogs won't have pick 22.

It probably would be, given the pick that's on the table is the dogs second rounder, which won't be pick 22.

I can't see the premiership side wanting to remove too many of its players by trade. And given Sydney's renowned culture, none of the players want to walk out. Have they got the picks to get the deal done? Jesse White and pick 21 doesn't sound like it would be enough, does it? What other...

Wasn't traded? Sure, the suns could refuse to trade Caddy and force him into the draft. That's if they want to go through another mediation with the AFL sitting on their hands. And lose him for zero compensation whatsoever. There are no shortage of suitors for Caddy, and it would seriously...

Pretty sure they only spoke to Richmond, and that he ended up at Richmond.

Would have thought he'd approach the President, given his role with beyond blue. But then again, might have feared getting traded to North Melbourne.

eyes on the prize already, elsler?

The thing is, the pick upgrade would still occur, albeit in the 3rd round instead of the first. Maybe GWS won't go that deep. Seems strange that they would give a team a leg up by letting them keep a second round pick for very little gain themselves. Maybe there is bad blood between...

Reported on the age website that GWS and Richmond have agreed to terms that will land West Adelaide player Steve Morris at the Tigers. Thats fine; but the price: Pies give up first draft pick for Clarke link Read more...

Any long term concerns on the fact Collingwood have traded out of the last 2 drafts? I know they had a great 07 draft, and that these drafts have been compromised... but is there any concern about the potential 2yr gap in their list?

Bring the shotgun celebration back to Hawthorn?

No, thats his point. We have < 25yo on our list who we are expecting to do the same. Opposition supporters look simply at our results and say our list is rubbish and that we need to draft or trade a large number players to improve it. He is refuting them.

Just. And now, after Hardwick's cleanout. Hence why you guys had a clean out and we do not need one. So as has been explained numerous times, and not once successfully refuted with anything close to resembling a valid supporting argument; Essendon do not seem to require an additional 3rd or...

Or possibly Hird didn't bother. You seem to be pretty confident of what was said at the meeting. With only one de listing from our senior list and almost everyone else signed up, there is every likelihood Hird called the meeting to inform Houli that he was no longer a required player.

Gone through on the trade tracker. 5, 25, 27, a compensatory selection (end of round one), and Rohan Bewick for Brennan, 10 and 48.

End of 1st compo pick? Crazy Clarko?

Thanks for all the tips guys, i got it working on the "bombers" site by clicking on the volume panel. Cheers. Now for the dulcet tones of Terry Wallace...

Paul Salmon, just as likely as anyone else. Stanton commits to bombers http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/stanton-commits-to-bombers/story-e6frf9jf-1225934478612 http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/stanton-commits-to-bombers/story-e6frf9jf-1225934478612

Which could be used as a future pick. Would certainly be interesting...

Sorry mate, not having a go at you, just having a go at the Myers decision. You raise an interesting point I hadn't yet heard. The selection itself is an indictment on the recruiting staff.

Obviously they where so distracted by his blinding agility that they failed to notice.

You'd rescind a deal because you signed two players up during trade week, and their contracts would affect TPP. You would then have to re-negotiate Ball's contract to fit in line with the salary cap. Early on in the piece, I agreed with the St Kilda stance. However, Ross Lyon came out before...

Sorry mate :D, its the old resigns/re-signs confusion. I read it as "if Ball quits the saints", then nobody will cut your grass before pick 30 in getting him! Left me in confusion as to how you would draft welsh. There would be the PSD option, but you'd have to offer a contract that most of the...

Collingwood can offer Welsh whatever they want if they are going to take Ball at 30. Do you think the pies are in a position to make a play for Welsh with pick 62? If he goes into the PSD what makes you think he'll get passed the other clubs?

I'd rather they increase list sizes and bring back the reserves. Would mean your young players could develop right under the supporters noses before getting unwarranted games just because your team has injuries. But that will never happen, unfortunately.

Re: Burgoyne Deal Done Multiple picks the first 3 rounds are valuable, especially for a club like Essendon, who have had 2 retirees, 2 players leave through trade week and possible delistings to come. Its better to replenish your list with 2nd, 3rd rounders than fill the bottom of it up with...

Based on that logic Judd wasn't worth pick 1 in '07?
