Good news everyone!

After this off season we will get to bring into the club:
Some senior elite talent: Heppell, Hooker, Hurley, Watson.
Some A-grade talent: Colyer, Myers, Stanton.
Some experienced solid contributors: Bellchambers, Hocking, Howlett.
While bringing onto the senior list: McDonald-Tipungwuti, Kelly, Dea.

All this while (possibly) gaining a position in the draft of: 1, 20, 29, 41.
Colyer, Myers and Stanton are not even close to being A graders.

I know its utter bullshit but if we go anywhere near Patton I'll spew up. Two knee recos, turns like the queen Mary and is getting fed by the quickest and most dynamic midfield ever.

If we pulled Jono Brown out of retirement he'd have more mobility than Patton.

Lets just stick to getting mids please.
Nearly kicked as many goals as Daniher (Patton kicked 38, Daniher kicked 43) despite playing a fair few games in defence...

I thought for sure that James Stewart would end up at Collingwood.
His dad played there right?
Absolutely hates them for passing F/S.

He played like 2 in defence. Plus had the benefit of an elite AFL midfield instead of a VFL midfield giving him the pill

Apparently Paul Ahern is about to sign with Go North!. Played juniors with Laverde, went pick 7 in 2014, super classy through the midfield and kicks goals. Has done 2 ACL's already, but would get him cheap and definitely worth the risk IMO. Would have liked to see us go after him
didn't think he'd leave.
Missed 3 very good kids this year. Ahern, Jaeger & Steele.

GWS* Brisbane don't have Pick 2 anymore. Having said that Brisbane could bid at 3 if he hasn't gone already.
i dont think GWS will bid, but Brisbane will.
And we'd be mad not to. Kid looks good.

But really, 1 for 4 & 8 or 4 & O'Meara should it come to that makes sense
4 is a dead pick to them unless they trade it for a player.
McGrath would be a great pickup for them too....
