Re: How good is Hicky actually?
Hickey played four games as first ruck. He broke even with Cam Wood, lost to Jason Blake and got demolished by David Hale and Matthew Krezuer. People really need to stop mentioning Dean Cox. Cox is the best ruck of his generation. Hickey is a project. There may be tools to work with, but he's still...

Re: Hickey
I hope we do get Hickey, I think he will become a good player particularly with the new ruck rules. However, I am not so convinced we will get pick 13 for Goddard. Some of the rumours, I acknowledge they are just rumours, suggest it may only be band 2 or even 3 compensation. ...and those rumours wi...

Everytime a trade goes through that Caro has not predicted she has to remove an item of clothing. Maybe not tedious but certainly disturbing.

Re: Natanui Rule
Actually this rule just made so much harder to get Hickey. The premium on athletic jumping ruckmen just went through the roof. I don't think this rule change will alter his value before he has even proven himself and before the rule has ever been applied. Really, you think the Suns aren't going to ...

Re: Dal Santo - Re-sign or trade him this week.
Let's just say you are a recruiting manager for a top 4 club next year and you are thinking what do I need to do to give us an edge. What are the most important players for a push at a flag.? Well, that would be either a Key marking forward or a mid with elite disposal. Unfortunately we don't have a...

Re: Koby Stevens
I am surprised by the interest in Stevens because from what I have seen of him his disposal is definately below par.
He is a big bodied strong midfielder but that is all. I make him nothing more than a poorer version of Armo.

Re: Why can't we make the eight in 2013...
We missed out on the 8 this year after having almost the easiest draw of any side in the comp. We also had hardly any injury problems through out the year.

Re: Dal Santo - Re-sign or trade him this week.
We should definately try to sign him up now. If we cannot sign him now we will lose him next year. Though why Dal would sign now I don't know when he can probably get himself the last big paycheck and maybe even a chance at a flag if he goes down the free agency route. I know only one big name has c...

Re: Free agency is a joke.
Free Agency is just a glorified delisting really. All the players that have left have had no offer from there original club shows how they where valued at the club. Except of course for Goddard who was offered an extremely good package by us to stay. However, Essendon came in and gazumped us. Chapl...

Could we not over-react a little please?

Re: Free agency is a joke.
No we won't. If there is anyone that is really worth going after there will be a number of clubs chasing him. We will not be the most desirable location unless we are paying well over what the Collingwood and Essendon's etc are willing to pay. We will pick up the occasional free agent but they will ...

Re: Jamie Cripps-Mitch Brown? !!
A straight swap for Brown is about right but if it's a straight swap for Stevens then it's daylight robbery and we are the ones with our pants around our ankles.

Why don't we just offer 24 for Pears and say stick it to the Eagles?
If they come out with a 2nd rounder for Cripps we insist that he is worth their 1st rounder or Brown.
