Cameron just on (popped out from having dinner). Here's a summary:
* Getting close with Maric. Another meeting today. Next 24 hours expect it to be done. We've offered our 2nd rounder pick 37. They would consider a player. We've asked them to go away and come back and name a player we'll agree with. Maric was nominated by Blair Hartley and Hardwick likes the way he plays. Cameron said he would be in our best 22 (means Gus and Browne become back-ups if there's an injury).
* When trade week originally started no clubs had list manages so you needed a week to get organised. Now all clubs have list managers. U17 mini-draft picks has held up this week so in future without that you could shorten it. However next year it goes for 3 weeks so he doesn't see the day we return to a 3-4 day trade period.
* Contract talks with Hardwick will start soon, end of this year or start of next. We haven't got in discussions about a new contract yet.
* 2011 was a patchy year. Found the emergence of a young midfield, Rance, Vickery with 35 goals and developing ruckwork. As a side less consistent that what we need to be.
