Play hard Saints. Don’t accept pick 37. Pick 24 is the deal.

Worthy late pick. You also get access to Richmond IP. Our forward pressure is not great. The 1%’s and holding a position within a system is what this guy would bring. We have small forwards in Long and Lonie but how good they are in holding ball in is questionable?? Whereas this bloke has proven tha...

You would hope

Pick 6 = Hill, Pick 26
Pick 26 = Zac Jones
Ryder = Pick 71

Well said Bigred

Bruce kicks 36 and 5th most contested marks at CHF aid worth pick 31 according to press, yet Papley who kicks 37 goals in he SCG is worth pick 8.

It’s Bruce and a player for mine. Lin Jong or maybe Toby McClean.

Anyone heard any rumours? You would think the club needs to come out with a statement at some stage soon. I know he has a 2020 contract, however if unable to play is there a negotiation to put this to bed.

Barrett is a tool. Papley kicks 37 goals as a small forward as is worth Pick 8, Bruce kicks 36 at CHF a much harder position to play and is worth Pick 31. Spare me Hill can’t be straight out 5 without something coming back. He is what 26-27 years old? Pick 5 you get Brayshaw or Cerra as youth on side.

With Bruce on way out ..I think the best outcome is: * Bruce to Bulldogs for pick 14, maybe a 3rd rounder or player * Pick 14 to Fremantle for Hill * Pick 5 to Gold Coast for Ben King Bruce going leaves a significant gap, but if we bring in Ben King earlier it’s win:win and our forward line albeit y...

Heard the same. Josh is all about Josh the word I’ve heard.....

Clearly haven’t seen him play. Go and take a look at the game he played against us at Marvel this year. Destroyed us and got 3 votes. Would be a great acquisition to a backline that is sub par.

Dogs have Pick 12 & 30. Not sure what Bruce is worth.... maybe something in-between? Not worth 12, same time worth more than 30. The thinking must be around Ben King and setting up for a crack next year. Cash in chips this year with Bruce. Then the forward line shapes with Max, Ben and Membrey. ...

This rumour has gone quite?!

Sounds like Bulldogs leading the race. Shame as our backline would be much stronger with another strong intercept defender. He tore us up during the year.

He was All Australian Under 18 - Centre Half Forward

I dont like that deal for Hill. we are giving up too much The better scenario Swap pick 5 for say 13 - 28 - find a club with picks around this mark Give Freo pick 13 for Hill Give Swans pick 28 for Z Jones Then Trade Acres for another pick say between 20-30 - that gives us 2nd round pick Then Trade ...

Presser this morning

Assume something is holding this decision up.....IF it was straight Ratten, my guess we may have announced by now? Could it be a Mitchell or Harvey with Ratten as Director of Coaching - Sexton gone, Ratten gets a 4-5 year gig with added responsibilities.... Have a two prong coaching approach; spread...

Crawford referred to Mitchell for tearing apart West Coast game plan on the weekend; in a game WC ahead to win!!! He said he is the closest thing he has seen to Clarkson. Hard, tactical and has the drive. When was the last time we saw our coach win a game due to tactical nous? You go back to Lyon da...

Ratten - Director of Coaching / elevate position with Sam Mitchell as Head Coach. That would work for me.

Get Alex Keith from Adelaide. Out of contact and destroyed us mid year. Would be half Carlisle cost....

What a disgraceful finish to year. Beaten by bottom sides.

Amongst the dribble talk .. does anyone actually know where this sits ???

From what I recall he has a contract next year. Therefore needs to make a call as to whether to have one last crack or walk away.....

Agree with post above that talks about what has really changed under Ratten. 1. yes definitely handles press better 2. THe biggest recurring issue is the delivery from wing to CHF and then from CHF to full forward. I reckon there was 15 times against Freo where we butchered or bombed the ball. We mi...

Only cost us $800k a year. It’s only money ... throw in Hanners and there goes $1.6m.

Ratten - made some blues tonight.

- no tag on Laird first half
- McKenzie on Betts
- played Brown and Carlisle

First serious test and fail.

Tag Laird !!!!!
