As another who trusts Wrighty, I object to this. I still have my own opinions and I'm willing to discuss them, but ultimately I accept that Wright knows better than me. If he thinks something is for the best, then that is very strong evidence that it is, and far outweighs any opinion I might hold. Same goes for week to week team selections, and the match committee, btw.

The thing is, everyone is fallible, though. So there is some benefit to still having the discussions on here, and apart from anything else we all enjoy talking about stuff that interests us
This is probably the best post I have seen on bigfooty!

I'm desperate for any trades to be done today from any club. AFL's "breaking trade news" was that Giles had nominated Essendon. We've seen heaps of people this trade period nominate their clubs and barely any of them have been done.

Eddie Maguire said the Beams trade with 5 clubs is nearly guaranteed to happen this arvo............we'll wait and see

Why would we be chasing Lyons, just because he wants home? I don't know too much about him but he seems as though he would be fighting Shiels, Mitchell, Lewis, Langford, Whitecross, Woodward, Hallahan and Anderson for an inside spot in the midfield. I think he ran a bit off HB as well, meaning that he is up against Litherland, Duryea, Suckling, Birchall, Burgoyne, Hodge, Mitchell and maybe JOR. No real need for him by the look of it, unless he is really, really good.
Lyons has never played HB. HF yes. He is a very good forward. Good kick for goal. Good mark for his size. I am hoping he stays as I think Walsh we like him.

I think our list is at a perfect balance right now. I'm hoping we retain Hallahan, Lowden(both look gone) and Schoenmakers and trade Cheney and Grimley to upgrade 43 and 59, and promote Willsmore with 77.

i agree with Willsmore, he looks really good, worth an upgrade imo.............if they don't upgrade him they can do it next yr if he continues to impress

He's more worthy of a spot on the main list than a punt at 77, however looks like we'll have a pick coming in for Hallahan.

Why are we getting rid of a player who is the perfect replacement to our aging inside midfield.

Makes no sense to me .... Smacks of josh Kennedy all over again. Bloody hell hawks show him some love and he will repay us with the faith you show him.

Can't believe we are even entertaining a trade for him
