The Buddy Franklin Trade 4 Years On

Re: The Buddy Franklin Trade 4 Years On

Did they lose Aliir due to money or because they didnt really want him / use him?

Port Adelaide made a pitch to Alilr that involved a longer contract, i'd assume more cash but they actually said they'd play him in defence, not as a make shift ruckman like the swans did.

If they keep Dawson does any of this really matter? Stephens has looked terrible, Hewett isn't exactly a superstar and the rest are flotsam.

Re: The Buddy Franklin Trade 4 Years On

Who could we realistically target from the Swans?

Reid, Melican. Sinclair, Naismith?

Re: The Buddy Franklin Trade 4 Years On

What is Naismith current medical status ? He looked a decent ruck before he got all injured

Dawson has requested a trade. Apparently money is the big factor. Swans can offer years, but not enough money after Parker got a good deal.

I think he’s absolutely shot.

Dawson is a big loss. Genuinely quality player.

Agree he's a gun. Best kick in the game probably (Caleb is my best) .

Anyone else see that the Cats had a lot of crook players? Puts the Demons' win in a different light.

Saw this on BF

Well it seems like at least 6 cats players were as crook on game day, such that Geelong contacted the AFL saying they may need to put in emergencies and others to field a team.
