Who would you have JMac target this year?

Yes, it's not a reliable source and one of his previous tweets said Saad would be staying at GC.

If we keep Crammers I'm not sure the rookie list is the right spot for him.

Agreed - either we want to keep Crameri or we don't. There's no middle ground (ie. rookie listing).

Still have found it a little strange that with one of the worst forward lines in the competition and Stringer on the out that we have been fairly non-committed to Crameri.

Perhaps the commitment to the club hasn't been there. If Stringer is going Crameri is a great replacement.
I agree we can't be half in with him.

Anyone else feeling like our trade period is going to be a total fizzler?

Huuugggeeee. Like last year. Hoping to get a big player in, and losing net talent by the end. With a general repudiation of our club by players who could be a part of long term success.

Yeah. Trengove and Crozier will be the ins(happy enough with that but nothing great). We'll Probably settle for something crappy for Stringer(late first-early second pick) and maybe move on Honeychurch.

It could, be I think we will at least be a bit aggressive. Like most years it comes down to if we can land the players we are interested in.

Feels that way.

If we stuff this up again I'll be quite disillusioned with the club. Considering our high only 12 months ago it shows how far we will have fallen.

As a member this is a make or break period for me. Tired of our soft approach and in the case of Stringer I'd rather lose him for nothing in 2018 than accommodate Essendon now and settle for a rubbish pick.

Who knows what's on the cards. Unlike some teams, we don't run around talking about deals until they're done. The week hasn't even started yet...

Make or break in being a member ?

Wouldn't mind being more aggressive to fill our needs . Small pressure forward would be nice .
Trengove is a decent addition with his versatility, and haven't paid overs . Not massive on trading just for the sake of it .

Not in a literal sense - been paid up for over 25 years now and that's not about to change, but my emotional investment into the club will take a hit if we effectively roll over again. My passion for AFL has subsided enough based on what the entity is/has been doing over recent years, I hope my club can keep my faith in tact.

I only went to a handful of games this year and may do the same next as well. Happy to support the club financially and look on with interest but gone are the days of attending every home game.

Trengove and Crozier in are positives and give us more AFL standard flexibility on our list, whuch will help out other parts of the ground for us. Impey would have been a nice get as well but I don't think we should be doing excessive trading at the level of a Geelong and their foreigh legion.

The best players in premiership teams invariably tend to be young draffed talent - Martin, Cotchin, Riewoldt and Rance are a pretty decent top 4 at any club and they are all draftees. By all means trade to address structural needs but we should embrace the draft every year.

Good points, I wonder how we rate Crozier vs Impey though? With Trengove locked in adding two players like Crozier and Impey might be a bit over doing it a bit
