Re: Andrew Basset tees off

I like it. The AFL has said the system is changing anyway. It is the academy issue as much as anything, the way the northern states get the advantage- not level playing field in regard to the draft and matching . To me FS is a lucky dip , although the point accumulation model is an anomaly which nee...

Re: Ken Hinkley is the boss

What about Mitchell’s crybaby antics afterwards. Should be called Sookball, not Hokball. This gross hypocrisy coming from the man who mocked Essendon with injector gestures a few years back. What a complete social media storm this became. Bit of harmless banter by Hinkley and Sicily - still kicking...

Just a solid player, we have a few of those already.

Carlton friends rank Young only just behind Pitonett as worst player they had so pass.

Re: IF pick #8 do we trade or draft? For who?

SEN reporting feeling is moving more towards pick 8 . With Tassie coming in soon on the draft we need to stockpile as much top end talent as possible. All reports are this draft is no stand out and first 12-15 good. Get 2 picks in top 10 - end up perhaps being 9,10 with Ashcroft in there and potenti...

Re: Wood and Butler re-signed

Mason great for culture and also been playing very well.
Haven't checked but Butler was high for pressure acts this seasons for the team ( at times at least ) . Also not obviously ready replacement.

Re: Battle

Lets hope the bean counters come up with a pick 8 compensation .

Options from here:

- Cama to CHB , retain Membrey
- Houston?
- adjust the way we defend until Schoemaker is ready defensively

Re: Seb Ross

one of only 14 2 times B & F winners, 200 Games.
Got most out of his skill set.
Kicking let him down at times, hence the whipping boy matter with fans who i think were hanging out for a new star midfielder and he was as close as we had.

Great career and clubman

If Battle goes Membrey stays?

As it looks like Battle is out the door my thinking is that will see Membrey stay with Cama becoming a CHB. Cama looked solid in his small exposure to defence and has good size and athleticism to play that role. Membrey has been really important in the second part of the year and with King's uncerta...

Re: Jack Hayes

injuries a real issue and allows them to find out more about Heath and Keeler. Pity as showed a bit in the games he played and seems popular around the club.

Add Crouch, Allison, Hotton Campbell to that list = at least
Paton, Jones, Ross Membrey all big ? whether delist or trade
