Settle down big fella, just putting it out there as there are whispers surrounding what he's doing next year. You need to realise that you cant delist/trade 8-10 senior players and replace them with 8-10 inexperienced players, remember we are the youngest list in the comp, so we need to get 1-3 senior types on the list. Hopefully there'll be a L.Power, Bartel or Michael available at the PSD but we cant hold our breath for this to happen is all Im saying. You need to take in the whole picture!!!

I've got an idea.
Why don't we go after the following guys:
Powell
Roger James
Fraser Gherig
Wayne Campbell and Matthew Nicks have retired but maybe we can convince them to play on with us next year?
Some of you people have no fu*king idea at all, and I can only hope our football department has the exact opposite mindset and tries their best to bulk up on draft picks rather then topping up the list with old, injury riddled has-beens.

No way, he's way to old. No point in picking someone who's at the end of his career. Rather go for someone 24-6 if we want experience.

Exactly. This is the attitude and approach that is partly (if not fully) responsible for the situation we are in at the moment. Let's pick kids or trade for someone who is at least under 25.
No more Micky Martyn like selections please!!!!

No,

had more clubs than Greg Norman

Gehrig will re-sign with St Kilda or he will retire. He won't be going to another club that's for sure.
Because a 29 year old can play for a further 6 years if he keeps himself fit and injury free. Six years is a long time.Blues_Man said:how could anybody seriously consider drafting a 29 year old player ?
So if your 29 that makes you automatically crap?Blues_Man said:i suppose he could ...lets see...1 year in the AFL and 5 years with the Bullants

Definetly not!!
He is injury prone & although he may get is hands on the ball i reckon he is a real turn over merchant. And we have plenty of them running around out there at the moment let alone one more.

It seems the answer is a loud NO! Nice work people, I put the feelers out the see if people STILL wanted James, Powell, etc and most seem to agree that unless they are around the early-mid age bracket with no injuries its almost pointless getting them. Having said this I think people need to realise that Chambers and Longmuir are both 25 and are very average, I still think Powell and James are better than these guys (not saying much though I realise). We need quality, no quantity of trades/draftees.
