After spending so long in the wilderness ive noticed that Armie has been getting a few games recently for you blokes...how has he been going? Look like getting retained on the list?

I used to play a bit of footy with him, he used to carve up the opposition. Was just wondering about his progress.

Whether he gets retained or not will depend on how he goes in the rest of the games he plays. I think he’s got plenty of talent, just needs to string some games together. The thing that keeps him from doing this though is that he is a receiver, and we have plenty of those.

We're a bit desperate but he is having a go. This week is the crunch game, he can't complain about gametime & it's time to show us something.

Pretty much spot on.

While his possession count hasn't been high, his pressure and defensive sides of his game have actually been very good, which has surprised me alot.

A month ago I said he was gawn and that hasn't changed... much. He's showing something, but it might be a smokescreen to up his value a little.

Fremantle would be interested for the right price. He's not a super talent but would aid our midfield stocks. Fringe player for fringe player? Can't really think of anyone suitable. Maybe a 3rd round pick? Though we have too many players on our list at the moment so will probably look to offload a player for a player.

We'll throw in a pick with Armstrong for Polak.

3rd round pick! Your joking. Why would we want to swap him of for a fringe player also, we have enough already. The draft isn't exactly stacked this year either. Melbourne with have to swap him for a little more than a fringe palyer as he is talented. Polack would be good but Freo have signed him. A 3 way deal with another club sounds the most likely scenerio.
