Either way the likelihood we are getting Rockliff of a good midfielder is slim, there is zero talk or rumours about it

Dusty will resign with tigers in the next few weeks and things will get real flat

Organic growth it seems for our midfield at this stage, I'd start looking who else is around that will be available
Was 0 talk about Gibbs until September, as we seem to do things on the quiet.

Gets me annoyed how everyone only feels that Gov is only likely to go home to WA

He is just as likely to head to the kangaroos to be a combo with brown

It's about the $$$$$ these days

And we feel we will still have another shot at him ?
Yeah, that seems to be the plan. Hopefully Carlton aren't as ridiculous this time, seeing having Gibbs this season hasn't helped them that much (Seeing they've gone a little bit backwards this season, thought not too far from breaking even on last)

We should be going all out for Rocky as a FA and not Gibbs. He is younger and wont cost anything. We still have our first rounder.
100% agree and I think that's what will happen. Doesn't quite have the class of Gibbs but we just need a genuine inside/outside workhorse who can go forward.

Ben Kennedy cant get a game at Melbourne but has been playing well in their seconds. Its pretty hard to break into their side with all their mids.
Seen a few of his VFL games over the last couple of seasons, certainly better than that grade, probably lacks a bit of size for a full time AFL midfield role but does burrow in hard in that role from what I've seen. Reckon he'd be excellent midfield/forward depth as he's also very handy up forward and he has a well developed defensive side to his game along with canny goal sense. I could see him pushing for selection at the Crows for sure and like you say would cost very little.

Probably just throw them in the bin like the last couple of years.
huh?

Lever is a resounding success - even if we trade him this season
Milera is well on the way to being a success
Doedee - Highly rated but was a project player (In a very weak draft I may add)
Gooch - well on the way to being a success
