Premiership clock according to the Hun.

What did we really trade for hill. From all accounts this year's draft is nothing special and next year's is going to be the most effected by father son academy gold coast compensation picks. Basically we lost Bruce who will hurt, Steven who won't because if he stayed he wouldn't have played for us and acres who was good one out of every three games and Newnes who was good three years ago.

What we got was speed which we needed in hill. He was not cheap sure but he is worth more to us then other teams, Ryder for ruck depth,great and relatively cheap, Howard who I never heard if before and now I hear is slow and gets lapped in time trials so not sold on him, Jones who is quick but can't hit a target so he needs work and Butler who couldn't keep his spot in the tigers. But too be fair tigers are class

Bottom line is we will be better but we have a weak forward line so I'm not sure where the goals are really going to come from so better than last year but still a fair way off seems fair

Except if King comes in and has an immediate impact - his brother did at the Suns.

Dont believe in the premiership clock. All Malthouse dribble. Just ask Clarkson.

What we got for Tony Locket nearly won us a premiership. What we paid for Hill won't matter when he lifts the blokes around him next year

I'm sure you'll tell us all how well those picks have gone over the next couple of years too, well the successful ones anyway

At the end of the day, we got done by Carlton late last season, freaking Carlton!

Something needed to be done

The loss to the Sydney Swans, and the passive way we went down, sent off alarm bells for me. There needed to be wholesale changes, and not just to the low hanging fruit variety either.

Happy with the trades, and the people behind the failures post-2014 are gone. New era.
