Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list

Re: Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list

This same sort of comment came out last year, when some journos had him gone - only to have him stay! What's he done to indicate that he's not committed. IIRC, he's put himself through multiple surgeries, spent the better part of a year trying to get right, and in return he's had his commitment questioned? Makes no sense to me.

That's not a dig at you personally, just bugs me. Until we actually hear that he wants out, he's one of us.

I agree that Denham just runs the Lake to Hawthorn story each year because it sounds plausible and if it actually happens he'd look like he is an insider with a scoop.

I also agree that we shouldn't shop Lake around unless he says he wants out. Lake has given no indication that I'm aware of that he is looking for a move.

Well we put up with 70-80 point flogging for most of the second half of the year so I don't see much difference here.

Sorry, I meant on the back of the floggings we endured this year!

Read my post again I said "If he wants out" with emphasis on the if! That goes for all players who don't want to stay with the Club.

The trade rumours section on the HS is saying they asked the Bulldogs about a potential trade with Hawthorn for Lake and we've flatly ruled it out as a possibility.

They can have Markovic

Rumors have Sherman off to his third club but no other details, could be media banter because he has had limit time this year.

Also Stevo has Wellingham to the Eagles.

Fair enough. IMO talk of players being traded should be left until it is actually known they want to leave. Anyhoo, moving on...

I agree. Actually I was responding to someone who commented on an article in a newspaper. It wasn't started by any woofers...now moving on.

I mentioned Ayres because he has experience , still coaches at a decent level successfully and seems to have a good footy brain for game day. Just a name I thought of straight away.

And he might be good for your Boyds, your Minsons and your Lakes.

Anyone got any thoughts on Mitchell Brown from Geelong, not sure if his opportunities still limited with Pod retiring, maybe Vardy will crowd him out? Possibly a good KPF option if coming cheap enough?

I really like him. He's had a stack of injuries though, so I'm not sure. Probably for a late pick I would, does he want out?

Geelong I'd imagine would want to keep him. I would think you would have to give up a late first round, early second round pick for him.

Leroy Jetta is out of contract any interest?

Stache, how has he performed in the last year or so?

Probably worth asking about, but agree, tend to think Geelong would want more than he's worth.

I do think Brown is more of a VFL standard footballer, though. Struggles with the intensity and physicality of AFL.
