    Well it's two more than us through that period.

    Likewise if a player chooses Collingwood it's really not the sort of player I want at the club.

    Didn't we recently spend big money on an untried kid recently?
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Yes. Because when you choose Collingwood - its to 'play in front of the big crowds'. (Whereas if you go to a Sydney or Brisbane club its for the 'lifestyle' and to be out of the 'fishbowl')

    Yep for sure, Freo would have to be all over him. I can only imagine WCE getting him if they trade Darling to us and we work out the compo to GWS...

    GWS breed them, then the comp takes them.

    Freo would pay overs for sure. And if West Coast get him - Oh dear.

    Tough couple of days for GWS supporters (all 3 of them).

    I for one love seeing the Giants getting weaker.

    The AFL set them up for success at the expense of long time fans such as our supporter base. I have no sympathy for their franchise falling to pieces.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    I think Sheedy shredded his membership and erased that time from his career. So make that two supporters.

    They are only sucking up perfectly good footballers that should be playing with proper clubs.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    Re: Confirmed Trades, FS, FA, delistings etc for all AFL Clubs 2015

    I love a good hypothetical 3 club trade.

    Any way we could get involved in the McCarthy deal?

    GWS need key defenders. Michael Talia is reportedly shopping himself. Could be a good fit.

    Freo are going to need plenty to appease GWS for a contracted player, more than they possibly have at hand.

    Lachie Weller is a jet midfielder, his brother is here in Victoria and he's had little opportunity at the highest level.

    How about this:

    Freo

    OUT: Weller, first round pick
    IN: McCarthy

    GWS

    OUT: McCarthy, 2nd round pick
    IN: Talia, Freo first round pick, Bulldogs first round pick

    Bulldogs

    IN: Weller, GWS 2nd round pick
    OUT: Talia, first round pick
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    So Weller for Talia and a 14 drop down from our first pick. Haven't seen enough of him.
