Re: Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list
Ah well, Gumby with a late pick or the PSD.
Fact is he's actually a better prospect than Dawes except of course for the big issue of his fitness.
I'm really starting to dislike Melbourne - WTF are they up to??
Paying over the odds for just about everything this week and really looking desperate!Comment

Re: Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list
Melbourne are like an ugly bloke full of piss and money at ugly hour at 2.00am in a King St nightclub. The pros just take their money....GWS and now the Pies are laughing all the way to the bank. Neeld has lost many players it seems and needs new ones....also needs a modicum of success to get renewed.
We on the other hand have dodged the Dawes bullet, now just play it cool, look at Jacobs, Gumby (PSD - stuff Essendon), Mitch Brown (P41 or nothing and we'll go him next year in PSD when he comes out of contract, stuff Geelong they have reamed us over the years).
Time to become the mysterious man at the bar who picks up...Comment

Re: Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list
My biggest concern with Gumby isn't so much his injury past, it's the fact that he's got back problems that are inconsistent on a day to day basis.
I've got them myself; some days you're fine, others you're in pain.
Apparently Gumby did a medical with Carlton, failed it, then a day or two later did the same medical test with Fremantle, and passed it. IIRC he almost gave the game away last year because of his back?
Anyway, if this can be fixed - or if the above is BS - then I am fine with us getting Gumby on the cheap.W00F!Comment

Re: Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list
I am hoping we can get a little clever and start forcing clubs' hands so from here on I am hoping in order of priority:
1 - We keep 5,6 and 21 and only offer these to improve our draft position
2 - We go after C Young - we have the money, he would help us for pace and he is free. It also forces the Pies to look elsewhere for pace to replace Wellingham. Young is not in the age profile but he is free and in an age bracket we simply have very few players in.
3 - We offer Sherman and P21 to Collingwood for P17 or 18 for P21 and/or:
4 - We offer Sherman (or Pick 47) and P41 to Port (who need picks and players) for Jacobs who is going to Melbourne anyway, is a good kick and this is something we need desperately
5 - We get Gumby in the PSD for nothing
6 - We offer 47 for Mitch Brown
Net outcome:
We keep or improve our first round picks
We get a runner in Young for nothing
We get a KPF in Gumby for nothing
As a bonus we get:
We either get a pick upgrade or Jacobs (a good kicker)
We possibly land another promising forward in Brown.
This would be nice...Comment

Why would any team want Sherman, what has he proven in the last year or so.It's better to die on our feet than live on our knees.Comment
