Looks like we are after a tall defender from the pie accoridng to this story. St kilda wish list is understood to include Nathan Brown and several of the Magpies' younger tall defenders rather any of the so-called A-grade talent at the Lexus Centre, a request that has a financial reality built into ...

Kosi was not in top 10.

Top 10 were as follows:

Lenny Hayes 603
Clint Jones 587
Sam Fisher 531
Sam Gilbert 521
Jason Blake 487
Jason Gram 463

I know he is out of contract and there is talk that he will sign a one year deal. I also understand the argument for having another experienced ruck on our books given that Gardiner is injury prone and our backups are two developing rucks in McEvoy and Stanley. But the real question is are there bet...

I don't know if this is just me but one of a number of things that has annoyed me after the game is the blatant bias in player assessments and rewriting of history after the game . What I mean by that is that the cats player seemed to get way better comparative rankings than the saints player yet I ...

FWIW the Age are saying "Brendon Goddard grabbed his hamstring before leaving the training track, but the soreness did not appear serious"

Thanks for the re-assurance these pies supporters kept on mouthing off that he wouldn't play for the rest of the year.

I didn't see it but some pies supporters said
Goddard would be cited for a head high hit on Thomas. Did anyone see it and has he got anything to worry about?

What a waste we have traded a good pick for a marginal player and a nothing pick.

Collingwood are locked into supending both players after they have both admitted lying to the club and given the tenor of the subsequent media release. However IMO this is not in our best intersts. We would be better off if they did play as although clearly very important players for the pies they a...

Apart form definitely dropping Gardiner after his pathetic performance and bringing in Kosi we also need to factor a replacement for Max given I understand he he has a calf strain which normally take several weeks.

Found this match report in the Hobart Mercury which suggests both Schneider and Michael Gardiner had good games yesterday and maybe in line for a recall. http://www.news.com.au/mercury/story/0,22884,24012461-13222,00.html IT was an all too familiar sight in Melbourne yesterday as the Devils produced...

Did Michael Gardiner play?
If so how did he go?

Lyon on AW talked about carnage from last nights game and said Riewoldt would out for between 3-8 weeks, Goose had serious injury to good foot and would be out for several weeks, X hammy Baker - knee injury but didn't say whether he would miss any weeks Dempster - said he was only 80% but also didn'...

I can't believe how many people think this a great draw. I would far sooner trade off a tougher start to the season and play 18 games in Melbourne which we should do if we were any other Victoria based club that has not sold home games interstate. There should be no compensation for a club in terms ...

I hope Gardiner is fit because if there is a significant level of doubt he should be delisted. I will therefore be really pissed off if come round 1 we have another Hamill scenario of a player on the never never if that is the case you would be better off even with someone like Richards or Brooks on...

Pratt is not out of things yet.

Visy and Amcor are facing potentially a payout of hundreds of millions in class action suits from very large organisations who have been ripped off by thier price fixing..

I have read all the rumours and can understand the arguments supporting the delistings although not neceasrily agreeing with them.

I just want to know when we are going to see something from the club to substantiate what has or hasn't happened.

I have been concerned about some recent posts suggesting Gardiner has very bad foot problems which may mean he is not able to play next year. I don't know if these reports are accurate but I do want to know the real story. Gardiner should only fit into our plans next year if he is fit to play. He ha...

Richards and Bryan are both rubbish and one of them will go probably Bryan - but we should stay well clear of both. Similarly if we pick up a ruck Brooks will get the flick at last. But back to King I have similar reservation about him as number of other posters ie age and history of injuries. Howev...

I can only see Brooks staying on the list if we don't recruit another ruck.

If we don't he may stay and share ruck and forward duties with Kosi but the bottom line is he has done sfa and should be delisted and no club would vaguely consider him as a trade option.

don't understand the legal bs associated with this case but bootom line was as I understand Gehrig Voss and Black all had had no priors. Voss on tape clearly king hit a guy, Black is alleged to have kicked another and both qualified to have their charges downgraded through a diversion program. Gehri...

We would get shafted in any deal with Hawthorn Pelchen made everyone very happy there by being the mastermind behind the Thompson and Hay deal.

Any deal Pelchen put together for us will also involve us getting shafted just like North was.

Goose had a predictably disappointing year coming back from a huge injury which was compounded when he broke his foot in round 1. We have no one else on our list who can play CHB, he will be a lot better with another pre-season and we must do everything to keep him. Forget about trading him to the h...

He has stuffed knees like Voss - the best thing for him to do would be to retire - we honour his contract (although it would be good if we could negotiate a lower payout) - we get someone else on our list who can play and he does something productive for himself and the club as a development coach
