    Agree he is not nearly as funny as he thinks he is too. I was in my car listening but usually never listen to Leach or Cooney. Agree on his love for the Bummers too.

    Re: Stringer Trade Worth

    Bevo said he has issues he needs to fix , well that's obvious so I'm not sure what Bevo said that was bad.
    Bevo also said it was fixable , if that isn't leaving the door open I'm not sure what else he could say to support him.
    I'm not sure if Cooney actually read the article from that comment.

    So his real choices are yes or no to playing AFL.
    It really does have the vibe of an intervention at this point.

    I'm with you. Absolute clown of a bloke. Then again, you'd probably defend a fellow player who's been criticised for appalling professionalism and a lack of standards around training and injury rehab. Cooney would know all about that
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    I think Stringer can go to Geelong.
    They have bargaining chips.
    I know we are getting unders but.....

    Yeah it's all Bevo's fault. Cooney = Dickhead
    They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

    There's a litany of champion footballers who are big dills. Cooney and Stringer can be added to the long list of Carey, Ablett Snr, Martin, Franklin, Cousins, A Jakovich, Carman, Jacko, Capper, Arnold Briedis ...

    I'd be happy with Pick 11. Seems right to me.

    Cooney is becoming my least favourite good player ever at the Dogs!

    Re: Stringer Trade Worth

    IF Stringer is leaving, my preference is a first rounder from next year.

    Failing that, I favour another scenario of using this year's trading first rounder to pick up a couple of experienced players e.g. Saad and Crozier. From all reports this draft falls away real quickly in the first round.

    Another issue we have is list numbers.We currently have 2 retirements and 1 delisting = 3 spots, less Lynch up grade and Trengove = 1 spot and we have to use at least 2 draft picks (if the third is used on Lynch).

    If Stringer goes and we get 2 more in, we still need at least 2 more list spots. I suppose that is where Crameri and Honeychurch come in.
    The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

    I think the minimum change to a list by AFL rules is 4 a year.
    But if you delist then redraft them I think It counts as one.
    We have lost two through retirement and two delisted , I'm not sure if the rookie list counts.
    Does anyone have the rules about list management each year ?

    Every year there seems to be either a draft that has a good top 6 and then falls away or it's a Superdraft (exclamation mark) and every year we get good players from all over the place. We get The Bont at 4 one year, the next year we get Caleb Daniel at 45 and nobody rates Zaine Cordy highly enough to nominate him until the fourth round.

    3 I think. It used to be 3. Rookie list is seperate, you can stay on it 2 years.

    But I think the rookie list is about to be merged into the main list isn't it?
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
