It would want to be an all time defense given the amount of ball that will be coming their way. Marchbank shares a broadly similar skill set to Plowman and Weitering. A nice get for sure, but a luxury we can ill afford.

If the GWS trade goes as speculated, that will be three years and counting since we have invested in elite midfield talent.
Curnow is a mid

Losing Murph & Byrne exposed our forward run.

Wafer thin, must be addressed in the draft.
Agreed. If those proposed trades go through:

Pickett - Will be used off half-back in my opinion and will provide the dash we desperately need. Also had the ability to be used on the wing or half-forward as a very talented goal kicker.

The late 1st round pick received - I'd like us to use this on Mitchell from the Swans should he not be already stitched up by the Hawks. If not, there will still be some talented mids available to draft.

I see a good result for us being:
Out: Touhy, In: 1st round pick
Out: 5, In: Marchbank, Pickett, Late 1st round pick (on-traded for Mitchell)
Out: Everitt, Graham, In: 2nd round pick

Net effect = Marchbank, Pickett, Mitchell whilst still retaining a late first round pick (possibly a Venables type) and 2 second round picks (possibly Gallucci/Scharenberg types).

This probably belongs in the "snark" thread, but The first year I coached my son, he did his ACL. After 12 months of rehab, he returned to the team.
He went from being a contested ball animal to not being able to get near it. His confidence in the knee and his ability was shot.
I became impatient as a coach and as a father. Dropped him back to the twos, Pushed him and pushed him. I didn't understand what he was going through. At one half time address I said to him, in front of the entire side, "if you're averse to physical contact, go home and buy a tennis racket..."
It was disgraceful behaviour by me as a coach and Dad. And I regret it terribly. That's why I hate ACL injuries so much.
The following year, he went on to win our B&F in a premiership year. But if I had my time again, I'd do things very differently.
Ok John Kennedy!

get a grip on things ffs...........take the gun outside and get some proper dinner..........
Hahaha.. mate I wish!! I've been recently diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and have gone from running around playing cricket at 46 to being bed ridden at 48. The drugs I'm on have horrific side effects so ive had to eliminate meat, dairy, coffee, donuts :( and gluten. The good news is im pretty well much pain free. The bad news is I eat like a tree hugging, hippie whale watcher.

Levi given another year? hmmm. We all know it, he can't kick. Yeah takes a reasonable grab at times but misses shots most BF posters could kick with a few pints under their belt.
He reminds me of T Cloke. Although not as good..... OK so he's been given another chance.
Where things are at I understand that. But if H McKay comes in and starts to shine ol' levi will be gone before too long.
All part of going thru the motions.
I'm of the opinion that won't take long :thumbsu:
