im not so sure rix is going anywhere atm.. we dont have any more ruckman this year then we did last year. with the retirement of mclarke.

i hope he's alright. he is vital to our success

how do u know gardiners foot isnt going well. is he right to play round 1?

then y would we sign him in the first place?

king is the big one.. gardiners a bonus.

but with riewoldt kosi schneider milne watts clarke and now gardiner i fear we r running out of room in our forward line.

yeh sorry dont know what i was thinking.. bloody good bargain tho.

thats four premiership players for pick 26 and 90

that is HUGE ross lyon u legend

St Kilda have apparently picked up a bargain, snaring Charlie Gardiner and Steven King from the Cats in return for pick 90. We'll hear more on this trade.

LTN do u honestly believe van rheenen will get a game in 08?

forward line for round one

HF schneider riewoldt goddard
FF milne kosi watts

ceo of carlton swann said today that they have room in the cap for a quality player in the psd.

i fear that if king goes into the psd we will miss out. carlton will probably snatch him up as they need an experienced ruckman to accompany kruezer.

wouldnt go anywhere near richards. rix kosi gardiner brooks king even the 187cm blake is better then richards

there is a slight problem. if we don't crack a deal with king and he goes into the PSD then carlton may possibly take him. ceo of carlton said today they were looking for another big name in the PSD and king might be just what they need to guide kreuzer into the big time. he is obviously a proven l...

or I could play this card. http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/s ... 65,00.html

that article was written last night. neogtiations have een held and schneider has been contacted in bali. that signalls to me some progression with the 'deals' since that article was written.

Sydney trades have come to nothing thus far, pick 2 is still ours to use. the trades with sydney have not come to nothing it just hasn't become official. for all we know a deal coud have been made anytime today we just havent heard about it yet. i would safely say that we have secured adam schnider...

blake isnt a ruckman. he isnt over 190cm. he is simply too short. put him up against lade brogan ottens cox fraser sandilands or any quality ruckman and he doesnt stand a chance. he is more of a tall defensive midfielder. people should not consider him as a rucking option.

there are no potential trades for ruckman. we have to use kosi rix gardiner and maybe brooks because other then king there is no one in the trade of who we need.

the bottom line is we are screwed. we made a push for blake but he resigned and now there is 21 hours left of trade week and we havent solved our original problem. i truly hope lyon and sheldon are organizing something now and i will get a pleasant surprise in tomorrows papers or we r stuffed for ru...

msg- dont u think tackling and acountability is just as if not more important in the backline as it is in the midfield. he could be an attacking midfielder. obviously it hasnt bveen to much of a problem for him in the past.

What would a assistant coach be on compared to Gardy ? I would think King would be a better option than an extra assistant coach if the money is around the same amount not to sure about the difference in the wages though? Who is your better younger ruckman we are going to trade for and what is the ...

say king has three more years. if we sign him one yr at a time for three years we have a huge chance of being successfull and by the time he retires a ruckman will be developed enough to step in.

fine so forget brooks and go for warnock or jamar. rucks are necessities and if we all dont want king then we need a suitable alternative.
