He could be the inside bull we have been looking for.

 

[kerr87]

When did the Cripps rumours start?

Didn't he sign a long term deal with Carlton recently???


Cripps Yeo Sheed Venables Nelson Duggan not too shabbbyyy

 

[kerr87]

According to the rumours board Brisbane are making big play for Cockatoo at the end of the year.

We should be going all out for him.

Add Cockatoo + Cripps and our midfield issues are solved.

And if he nominates Freo ( if there is any truth anyway) what then?

Well given that he was apparently an eagles supporter growing up, the only way I can see him nominating them over us is if they've given him a better offer than we have. The only way they're giving him a better deal is if the club is being stingey, because the salary cap is meant to go up by a couple of mill this year, and the fact we're expecting a few retirements and pay cuts the club has no excuse.

Is Kelly from gws a chance to come over the us if he was on the move?
Just thought he would help our modfield.

Would love to say yes, but I can't see it happening.

Cripps isn't leaving Carlton. Wishful thinking.

It'll get us a nice kid.

Like you I would like to see us pick a young KPF/Ruck or even straight ruck who can rest forward.

I was keen on Strnadica last year and like how he supported Goddard in the ruck at forward stoppages. His 2016 colts was below my expectations and then I found out he had grown another 3 cm. No sh1t Sherlock - the big guys lose coordination when growing so a lesson for us all on being patient.

I will be at the U18 carnival so will be interested. There are some big guys from Vic and Country that interest me.

Frampton? He will need to do more than just ruck. They really need to be high bodied midfielders in the Dean Cox mould. That was the downside on Goddard (Claremont possible draftee last year). Jeremy is starting to get more impact other than rucking but is still only playing ressies. Back to Jonny - he is getting some better disposal numbers and I will be able to give you a better heads up in 4 weeks.

We may need to go more speculative with a big guy that needs to develop more than he has in 2017. Example - we could have got Darcy Cameron as a rookie in 2015 and Sydney went and snavelled him prior to our Rioli pick in 2016. We took Snadden instead! Need I say more.

Sometimes it can be attitude /want / hunger they look for , Strnadica didn't front up at local WA draft in Great nick despite having ample time to prepare

A clean cut, mediocre footballer.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Yeos preference was Freo too....

Not what I heard.

Yes a Frockee supporter but I thought he wanted WCE in terms of desired list to be on

I heard his manager approached freo first but they said they already had too many of his type of player so we gave him a better offer.

 

[EagleMutt]

Tbh,I wasn't surprised by this loss but it proves we are in need of a rebuild.

I would start with having priddis,lecras,butler retire and have gov as captain.

Would look to trade gaff and get a top pick from st kilda or let him go in free agency nxt year for a top pick.

Darling for a top 10 pick if we can. His foot injury has messed him up and his gfinal performance has scarred him for life.

Will be tough decisions on players and tough few years but it has to be done to move forward.

Larri and Fivey do a good job already!

 

[new breed]

In the draft if we had taken Blakely and SPP we probably would have two midfielders to call on now , as it is Venables looks a real talent but this season is in damage control .

 

[avishka5]

Gaff has been one of my faves but id trade him now while his value is high.
Trade Darling as well.

Let Masten, and EMac go

Retire: Mitchell, petrie priddis, butler and lecca

Delist: Mcinnis, Redden ( only if he cannot find form) and Hill.

Wouldn't mind Tunbridge staying on the list for at least he has a bit of mongrel in him. May not be the most talented player going around but at least he gives a toss! More than I can say for some of the others. Also it won't be that easy to make so many changes in one year, although possibly 3-4 of those could be retirements. But then you have to find somebody decent to replace them - not an easy task.

How would Gaff have high value ??

You don't trade 24 year old AA wingman for a top 10 chance !
How many failures in the top 10 every year ? lots .
You don't make your list better by trading good players for speculative picks .

We have really screwed up giving up our first rounder for redden , it's like someone offering pick 17 for masten !

We really could have done with another young mid in our stables
