Yep I do. Back ourselves in to beat those flogs. Good chance Whitfield won't be playing next year. Their back line will be a worry for them with Boyd & Cloke inside 50 and their defenders being Tomlinson & who else? Patful retired & Marchbank gone. Cloke had a field day against them last year. Mummys first full season in a while so he is due to break down.
As long as our hunger is still there we have them covered.

A quality player in Davis and quality intercept in Haynes. Lobb also drops back. This is a crazy suggestion.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Agree.A trade proposal like that would smack of premiership hubris.

In his non football life Bevo comes from a risk management background so I wonder how he would see the level of risk in this suggestion.
To me this is bordering on being an arrogant position and you feel we are bullet proof. We aren't.
I guess that goes with the territory of being a premiership team

Plus the emerging Corr. That is why they can trade Marchbank.

That would just be stupid to be honest and completely unprofessional.

Hrovat traded for future pick swap of third and fourth round picks next year.
Pretty cheap really. Let's hope North stink it up next year.

To be honest I have them down as fighting for the spoon with Brisbane so I probably shouldnt be as upset as I am about the trade

Re: Half Way Through The Trade Period - Where Are We Headed?
I hate relying on them to get anything decent from the trade though. It's a pretty big drop from one of Carlton or North offering a definite pick in the 30s to 'lets see how shit we do next year'.

What if we delisted Hrovat next year after another middling season? Even at full fitness he is no certainty of getting more than a handful of games next year.
It's an underwhelming trade but it is better than recontracting him for 2 years or delisting him after another season.

We got 93 games played from them both combined from the trade. No finals played/won.
They got 54 games played. Lots of finals & 3 premierships.

It's a bit hard to follow, but they essentially still have Tim O'Brien on their list from the pick we swapped as well. Which was 27.
