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

I liked Hogg and was not happy when he left.
The other one was Collins who was up him self.
Agree with this. Matty Hogg's family are Dogs fans and Hogg was a good clubman who went on to a terrific career at Carlton. Parkin loves him. He was a loss.
A better 90s trade by us to Carlton was Jimmy Plunkett.

I thought Austin would be mentioned with the Watson nomination but to be honest given the state of our list for key defenders and if we are genuinely looking to play Roughead as the number one ruckman we might have to take someone on the rookie list.
Now that might change if we were to land someone like the former cat Mitch Brown but there is a fair chance we won't land any experienced KP player in the National draft.
I thought we all conferred that Roughead would not survive being number 1 Ruck.

The club seems to be saying he will train this year as a ruckman. My preference is that he stays as a key defender who does some work in the ruck but if he is being moved we don't have a lot of depth there

My preference also. You have to be a certain breed to be a ruckman. In other words, a masochistic freak with ability to have your body put through a meat grinder.

Having a look at the delisted players and obviously Gorringe has some appeal but what about Matthew Watson as a rookie list key defender? I know he hasn't done a lot but being cut by Carlton might be the kick start he needs to get serious about his football.
Markovic has him well covered for pace - spent the last year and a half being trialed forward because other forwards run rings around him
