Why is Ah Chee being recruited? We don't want anymore spuds. Ah Chee will come in and Wellingham will be de-listed the day after. The current recruitment team don't have a good track record when it comes to trading.

Before we start thinking we have loads of money to spend on free agents, we have Gaff, Yeo and McGovern all coming out of contract at the end of 2018. I suggest we will do well to focus on nailing these 3 down and making sure that we keep the A graders we have. I would imagine Yeo is up for a substantial increase (B&F plus AA) while the other 2 probably need to be north of $600k pa. Melbourne paying Lever $750k is so overs it could distort the perception of players signing on.

Interesting how the AFL Players Association had negotiated the increase based on all players needing to be remunerated and the reality is that the 20% has not worked down to all and predominantly stayed withe the elite few at each club.
 
7+8+ acres for gaff,13 and next years first. 7+8 for cripps. Overs maybe on cripps and a touch of unders on gaff maybe but that us a couple of other mature agers in ah chee and tim kelly would dramatically turn our midfield around.
 
Do you have a source ? Not claiming it's not true, but would like to read the credibility of it.

Anyway not sure how I feel about it if true. On the one hand I think he could be value even at 47... On the other hand **** port.

"The Eagles are offering their fourth-round selection, pick No.68 overall, but the Power want at least the Eagles' third-round pick (No.49 overall).

If a deal cannot be struck, Ah Chee is prepared to go into the draft and continue his career elsewhere."

So just read that we have offered our 4th round pick but Port want our 3rd round pick, but are prepared to delist Ah Chee and force him to go to the draft. Kinda ridiculous that Port are prepared to get nothing for him, and a bit suss that Brendon is seemingly willing to be picked up by any club whatsoever.

Happy to enter the draft......PSD.

Happy to play anywhere........to say otherwise is draft tampering.

So the message to Port is take the 4th rounder or get nothing, he enters the PSD and we pick him up ala Tippett to Swans.
 
I think Ah Chee would be a good get provided that we actually play him in the middle, because a forward flanker he is not.

A centre square rotation of Shuey - Sheed - Redden - Ah Chee - Yeo would be a bit of fun.
 
Wouldn't be to fussed with pick 50 for Ah Chee to be honest. The difference isn't a great deal that late in the draft

But we may be able to do 48 + masto/schofield for and early 3rd improve our draft position and maybe get that bloke who was out of reach at 48
