Not unless you regret a premiership

Je regrette rien.

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

Yeah but no regrets over recruiting Smith .

No regrets whatsoever loved Clay from day One.

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

Well........................ I'm probably way out on my own here. But I don't like Shiel.

I do not like him here or there.

I do not like his face or hair.

I will not will not give pick five

We need a man who looks alive.

(apologies to Dr Suess)


That's right, I Don't like his haircut.
I don't like the cut of his jib.
Great player, but no joy there for me.
He's like a stormtrooper. A robot off an assembly line
Too perfectly groomed.
Emotionless.
If there was a a movie about him, Schwarzenegger would fail the audition for not being wooden enough to truly represent the character.


So..............

Keep pick 5 and use it on a 'cleanskin'.

Shiel is the antithesis of Bob. And Bob is 100% bulldog perfection.

Anyone with me?

I call him LEGO man.

Biggs, Redders & Smith all gone before round 23. Dahl seemingly gone before round 23 too.

Roughy & Wally in doubt, Roberts, Campbell & HC in the gun.

We are going to have quite the salary cap. Maybe a Lynch & Gaff double signing...

Two of our hard nuts gone due to injury , hopefully we have hard nut players in mind.

There's scuttlebutt that we are looking to get Jarryd Roughead on board to initially play a season or two and then move into a coaching role ala Sam Mitchell....Would be great for Schache and Boyd to learn from.

A club captain, and their heart and soul, being generously 'let go' would surely result in holy hell for Hawthorn. I love the idea don't get me wrong, but I just can't see how that happens.

Out of interest, where's the scuttlebutt coming from?

There was a rumour about Rough and Bevo having a meeting on BF about a month ago. It's resurfaced lately due to both Rough mentioning he wants to coach and Clarko on 360 yesterday saying he'd be open to letting Rough do a Hodge/Mitchell/Lewis type thing

Hmm. Interesting more. Thanks for that. I guess that all but secures them Tom Lynch and maybe even Shiel then. Win-Win.

Maybe Jordan Roughead wants to stay as the back up ruckman to maybe play with his cousin...

So he's very, very gettable, and not going to cost much trade wise. That's worthy of the most serious consideration. A mature, experienced player, a leader, a goal kicker and a good footy brain to help other forwards and then coach them. Again, interesting.
