Straight swap Vickery for Casboult and then get Cloke......will double our shots on goal and halve our scores....

Sweet, somebody is interested in Vickery! I'm so relieved...
he's gathering interest which will only drive up his value, which is great for us

I like Conca but like Ty he could benefit from a change of environment. Crozier would be a fair trade.

How could we possibly win a trade to north for Lids?
Draft picks? Majak Daw? lol Drew Petrie and Boomer?
Ahh I hope not north!

Have it on very good authority that we're seriously considering chasing at least two or three of Cloke, Swan, Bartel, Barlow, Harvey, Ballantyne, Enright, Mayne & Hodge and a couple of other well regarded older types with premiership or premiership contending/finals winning experience..the club's reasoning being that we desperately need more onfield leaders & onfield coach types with composure, who've been successful & know how to win matches and instill higher standards in the playing group.... the club & football depatrment isn't quite unanimous this strategy but we should still prepare ourselves to see at least one of the above in yellow & black next year nonetheless....

Just so folks understand

There will be no trade or swap for Vickery.

He is a restricted free agent

So he gets an offer, takes said offer, we dont match and he walks = we get a compo pick, no trade

We win  :clapping

Mason Wood is the only kid Norf have that looks to have star qualities. They will have an early teen pick as well. Other than that, they're all poo.
