Norwood, Redbacks.
Cameron and Lever out; Gibbs, Motlop and three first round picks in.
Take Cameron off the books. Have heard that his attitude has changed dramatically and wants to stay. Amazing what a big game will do and people stop being critical of your game!

Soft spot for Brisbane
Melbourne will still be there in 4 years when Sloane retires. Why can't she wait. Let her man fulfil his dreams, then he can take a back seat so she can start on hers?
A woman in TV has a limited time in the game, just like footballers do.

She'll miss her chance.

But he's not someone you'd play forward by choice, correct?
It was out of necessity.
Not in a team where the quality of midfielders drops off signifigantly after Beams and Zorko with Robinson and Christensen out injured. I did want to point out that it was because "we knew he wasn't going to be there in 2018". Because in all honestly, he probably will be.

In a quality team he probably splits 75/25 between the midfield and forward line.

He's a gun but I never got the Crows interest in him. At the moment he's a more advanced version of Matt Crouch who's still young with more improvement to come. But you can only carry so many of those guys in the one side.

Name a free agent on minimum wage?

White was very good early on, than his body failed him. He had some pretty unlucky injuries.
Agree - in 2014 he was an absolute gun for you. I recall him running the full length of the ground (against west coast?) one game before slotting it from 50.

First Sloane, now Crouch. Only to be expected I suppose. Can't see Crouch going anywhere to be honest.

Goal of the year, unsure if it was vs his old team in Richmond.

He was exactly what the club was about then. From memory was Richmond's best 3km runner, but was Port's 6th. Said alot at the time.

Pick 26.

Keep in mind, Richmond threatened to match Vickery, to force a trade.

Surprisingly, they didn't and somehow Hawthorn paid exactly enough to give Richmond the compo they wanted.

There's no one bidding for Trengove. Hell get $350k and be glad his career continues.
There are at least 2 clubs interested in Trengove as a key defender.

Reckon he will end up at the Bulldogs.

Will be interesting what will happen to Jake Stringer now the truth has come out.
Apparently he cheated on his missus when she was pregnant with a 17 year old girl.
Apparently a number of his team mates incl Johansson turned on him over it.
The simple things can derail a whole playing group & once again, the offending player needs to be traded out as it becomes unworkable to keep him.

Only has himself to blame.

Does not surprise me in the slightest.

And he doesn't want to leave Melbourne because of his kids.

His dick broke up his family. Scum of the highest order. I wouldn't sign him as a free agent.
