    Meek needs to games to build his experienxe and confidrnce.
    Because he doesn't want to spend next year playing VFL?
    He's a no 1 ruck and we're all chips in on English playing that role.

    Re: Early Trade Rumours for 2022

    So we going to get smashed in the ruck again next year ?

    I don’t understand why we not chasing hard for Meek or Grundy and tell Tim , sorry mate but your not first Ruck

    Give our team first use of footy from tap outs

    Sorry I don’t get it . maybe I have limited footy nous but gee Meek and Grundy are available

    Our premiership window is open now with the current list .

    not sold on Lobb being the answer to our Rick or fwd line

    Melbourne trade its Round Two Selection (33), its Round Three Selection (43), and its Round Three Selection (53) to Port Adelaide for its Round Two Selection (27).

    Then it flows that Jackson is as good as done too.

    Cool to know that we’re about to get multiple picks better than that for Dunkley, suggesting Grundy is easily gettable, and yet have no intention on doing so. Guess we just love finishing 7th so much because it worked that one time.

    The one I'm curious about is Soldo. Last year we chassd him quite heavily only for him to stay for a further 3 years. This year he appears gettable with his name being linked to GWS. If Lobb is a no go, what has changed over 12 months?

    You have to wonder if it's our interest in Lobb?

    I think we tell Fremantle that we're not playing games. Our second round pick is our best offer and if we don't hear back by a set deadline we need to move on and pursue other targets.

    Re: Early Trade Rumours for 2022

    So with Cordy leaving us do we start a search for a replacement or do we have it covered?
    As BT suggested could this be a lifeline for Schache?

    We don’t even need to trade for him, and he’s going to be a low salary. How it’s a debate that Wallis or Butler keep the last spot over Schache seems a little strange seeing Wally is done and Butler won’t break into the best side.

    It's great reading all the trade news about 17 clubs actively trading...

    Let me run through this.

    Spend a top 5 pick on a CHB (Granger-Barrass).
    Within two years decide that was such a bad idea that need to recruit another CHB - this time one who isn't getting a game at the Suns on a reported $800K+ contract?

    This stuff never gets old.

    If Hawthorn are doing that, we should be putting time into one of the players on their list who is actually good and making THEM an OTT, front loaded cash offer to depart...what is happening to the 'Dunks Money'...
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

    Is Bowes a CHB? I thought he was a mid who was playing HBF
