With chopsticks?

Yeah but only plastic ones. The wooden and metal ones were hidden away for the occassion.

 

[Mickey Rae]

Depends what the offer is I suppose. I'm still hopeful that he'll be the man to crack our 300 game draught.

If his next 150 games come around as fast as his first 150 games seem to have they may well produce a breeze!

Fremantle obviously unhappy with the job Grey is doing replacing Suban, so they went all out on another w@nchor to fill the gaps.

Lol my Freo supporting brother in law told me with a straight face that Grey is a future A grader nearly pissed myself!

He'll get off then as long as it wasn't too bad.

AFL players just cant hold their booze post season and think they are gods.

Paddy on his own would be fine but out with his brother and a cousin it’s hard not to be involved in some way ..

Keep Lycett, straight swap pick 29 for Ah Chee.

Screw Port like they did us with Ebert. If they don't take our scraps then they look like the bad guys in the media (club who cant control its players in off-season refuse to send a good WA boy home. Life of crime imminent).

And if Port send him to the draft then there is a good chance he is still around at pick 29 anyway.

Giving Port 29 (I think it's 30?) for Ah Chee would be them screwing us tho.

 

[Coaster2012]

I'm not sold on trading Gaff. Our midfield is our biggest weakness so we are trading an AA relatively young midfielder to boost our midfield? The logic is lost on me. Will Gaff win a brownlow? probably not, but whoever we trade in won't either. He is still a solid contributor capable of racking up big numbers. For me, its high draft picks, or no trade.

 

[Woobla Stainz]

Suppose quite a few of those are rubbish...

Yep give me a Treloar and Adams over all of those anyday.

Thoughts on this deAl proposal from a Port poster ..

Ah Chee plus Port pick 29 for Lycett .

No. Lycett shouldn't be going anywhere

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

So Motlop toured the Suns facilities, which probably makes them the favourites.

Apparently we're still in the mix with Adelaide though.

Motlop as part of Gaz deal. He'll love it, he can play inconsistant footy in a place where no-one cares. Tasmanians should be cheering this, the sooner GC folds, the sooner they get their club.

Port getting rather a good deal (putting it politely)

Surely our new facilities plus Perth stadium >> Adelaide oval and crows facilities >>>> Jetts 24 hour gym >>>>>>>> Suns facilities

Do It . I think we could pick up say the best performed ruckman from the wafl with a last pick in the draft that will perform as well as lycett has .

 

[Bacchus]

Marchbank
Pickett
Jaksch
Whiley
Plowman
Sumner
Palmer
Lamb
Phillips

Now Kennedy and possibly Smith.

Looks like a Carlton conspiracy to me

Send SOS up there for a few years, get all the best youth then go back to Carlton and Get them to Carlton

 

[seppo_222]

Got a mate at the club who basically has filled me in on a couple things. Apparently we are quite happy with our list progression and hope that a few decent top ups will get us over the line in 2018. Pick 13 is definitely on the table and we could be trading it for two second rounders. This would give us the ability to get fasolo, conca and watts with our three second rounders. Gaff is as good as gone to the hawks apparently for hartung/Strating and a pick/picks in 2018 draft. We are also hoping to get ahchee with our third and fourth rounder.

As far as the rookie list goes we are quite keen on Ben Kennedy (former demon), Jansen (former lion), and josh Cowan from geelong. They are all experienced and fill a need.

Going by his info our best 22 next year could be:

Hurn, eMac, welling ham
Yeo, gov , duggan
Masten redden hartung
Vardy shuey shred
Watts darling B Kennedy
Fasolo JJK cripps

Inter: conca Cowan Jansen barrass

Quite an exciting team I think. The bonus is that we haven't gone too far the other way. Our focus next year will be the players intent and putting in s four quarter effort.

I asked my mate about Tim Kelly and he said the club could rookie him if he's still available but the club are aware that the gap between afl and wafl is big so his game might not translate. Same pretty much goes for liam Ryan

If we do keep pick 13 we are heavily into naughton Balta or Stephenson if they are available. The club rates balta in particular very highly

So yeah some super exciting times coming up for our club

This post has completely ruined my day

Does this mean Carlton cannot draft so they rather take 2nd hand GWS players . Gws recruiters pretty smart compared to Gold coast suns .

He'd be touring the facilities of any of the seriously interested parties.

 

[Woobla Stainz]

Read in an article that Suns want a best 22 player that will walk into their side as part as the Ablett deal, says Duncan is an option, if Duncan is available we need to get him.

 

[boondy]

Is it ? I thought he was a free agent .
