Why don't we replace our whole side with the best Irish talent - we will win the next 10 flags in a row and halve our salary cap at the same time.

They have plenty of potatoes but need to add a little more meat.

Methinks it's just quicker and cheaper if we relocate he club to Ireland and just dominate the Gaelic Footy for the next millenium.

How did you find out about Demetriou's secret plan for a 22 team competition?
After Tasmania and a 3rd West Australian team he was planning a North Queensland team and then a team out of Ireland, maybe by relocating his most hated club St Kilda.

An interesting theory Ace. I await to see what the AFL apologist PartyPooper66 has to say on the mater.

Him + Walsh + Lovett... + if we could convince Ball to stay = awesome.

Really if Ball stays the trading period is on a par with Brisbanes effort.

Still a long way to go to get Kenelly and Ball.

Nice to dream though.

I think we're still ahead of Brisbane even if we do lose Ball.. and I would say there is virtually no way we will pick up Kennelly.

Brisbane gained
A troubled superstar (Fev)
A talented bloke who hasn't putten together a solid month in about 5 years (Xavier)
A player who was a downhill skiier in a good team and hasn't done anything since (Buchannon)
A player who has never been able to play consistent footy in any position (Staker)

and they have lost
A superstar key forward (Bradshaw)
An incredibly promising KPP (Henderson)
A hard running ball winner with admittedly terrible footskills (Dalziell)
And their first rounder...

IMO They came out behind, quality over quantity, IMO Ross and his team have been the best traders since his arrival...

You are using your words like stats. Making them say whant you want them to say.

Fev better than Bradshaw
X who knows but similar to Dalziell in that neither played much at all this year.
Buchanan been a very good player for a few years and Sydney dont have to many downhill skiers the way they play. he may be better with a more open game plan.
Staker may come on who knows but this year was certainly no worse than henderson. They are certainly ahead for next year but in 3 years time who knows.

Fev is better than Bradshaw, agreed. But will Fev be able to behave? will Fev and Brown compliment each other as Bradshaw did? who knows, it's a big question mark, but for arguements sake, we'll say that this is a big improvement.

What sort of effect will such widespread changes have on player morale? Rischetelli wouldn't be too happy I wouldn't imagine. How often can a team add 5 new players to their list in one season and make an immediate impact?

Buchanan is past it IMO, his output peaked in 2006 and has gone down hill ever since, he struggled for a spot this year, only 8 games through injury and form.

Staker will be 26 at the start of next season and hasn't even consolidated a position yet, he has never played consistent footy and he has a lot less room for improvement than some of the players that have been delisted (McDonald, Hooper, Harding)

While I wish all the best for Xavier (except against us) I really don't think he will ever amount to anything special which is a real shame, however for pick 60, you can't exactly hold that trade against the lions...

Also Henderson and Pick 12 are the future, Black, Power and even Browny aren't getting any younger and with the compromised drafts ahead I predict a very gloomy future for Brisbane, Voss has rolled the dice and it is essentially 2010 or bust for the lions.

he's still on the swans list ffs....
