    Re: Adam Treloar to the Dogs revisted

    The Hawthorn allegations are just that at the moment, let's see if there is anything of substance. But the Treloar situation is now verified and is an actual incident of deplorable player management practices (so it makes you wonder about the Hawthorn allegations!). Firstly, the Collingwood club mucking up on managing to the cap and then seeking to cover its tracks by concocting and actively promulgating stories to blame the selected player for the inevitable salary offload.

    Re: Adam Treloar to the Dogs revisted

    Port Adelaide is a good example of the path I would like us to take. A few seasons ago they traded away Wingard and accumulated 3 picks in the top 20. They targeted Rozee, Butters and Duursma.

    I believe with our current list, we have the ability to rejuvenate and energise our list with quality youth. Tallers take time but young mids have the ability to come in and contribute straight away. We don't need to replace Dunkley immediately, there are a number of wing / half forward types that can play on the outside while they develop.

    You only need to see the impact of someone such as Weightman can have. Performance aside it's clear to see the energy and enthusiasm he adds that I think our list could really benefit from.

    There's a lot of quality types within the teens that could meet that criteria.

    We're a chance if we manage to take two picks in the teens to draft this year, and another pick in the 20s.
    Given we're taking Jones, potentially Lobb and perhaps even Tomlinson this year we should load up at the draft. Harsh but I would not be offering a new deal to Martin or Mitch Wallis, to free up list spots.

    I don't think it's harsh, I think it's realistic. Neither Wallis nor Martin should play at AFL level next year, so why waste a list spot on them.

    100%.

    Part of finding new talent is embracing the churn, and keeping blokes you don't intend to play ever is certainly not that.
    I should leave it alone but you're not right

    The club that does this well is Hawthorn.
