    I'm not saying that. I'm saying that these players are not worth pulling out for, and we should look elsewhere.

    Depth is only relevant if the depth is any good.

      I thought we were told we were out of the running, with BT later that day denying that's the case.
      TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

        A mature Key Position Defender of some quality please.

        As well as a first ruck. A couple of polished mids. A genuine quick small forward.

          Most likely pick 8, 26 & 40.

          Trade hard JMac. There's gaps to fill and we need quality.

            Tally whacker?

              Short of Kelly or Lever, I really hope we don't trade pick 8. That's a hell of a piece to piss away.

                  With the way we draft hope we keep all our picks. 3 in the top 40 is a great position.
                  The curse is dead.

                    Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

                    Can someone jog my memory and tell me one player who has lived up to his expectation that we have traded from another club?
                    Boyd hasn't yet, Cloke hasn't, Crameri didn't, maybe Biggs.
                    We haven't been good at getting a big name player and he performed for us.
                    Our own drafting has been exceptional.
                    Maybe we should just go with that unless we can get Lever.
                    Let's face it our age demographic means we are after players in their prime that clubs won't let go. Especially the standard we are chasing.

                      Biggs definitely has, given we got him for peanuts and he was an important premiership player.

                      If we're being positive, Suckling has probably met expectations (not mine but others would argue the point).

                      But overall, our trading over the past 3-4 years has been pretty average - in terms of who we've brought in and who we've lost (and the ridiculously low value we've received in return).

                      JMac in general deserves credit for locking in our list but his wheeling and dealing with other clubs has left a lot to be desired, IMO.
                      Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                        No good recruiting players if the player coming in isn't better than the one going out.
                        Retirement excluded in this years case ..
                        Be an interesting off season, usually clubs turf players in the next week.

                          Just judging by Bevos comments I reckon Cloke will retire.

                            Apparently Shoenmakers has signed a 1 year deal with Hawthorn.
