if they are still into this mature rookie fetish

Ball, Cox, OKeefe

instead of bloody Banfield, Orren, etc.

Yep, spot on, if there is a stop gap needed take a proven quality player, not a proven mediocre one.

Wonder if O'Keefe and/or Ball would be open to just being on our VFL list? Probably not. Their experience would be invaluable to our kids though.

De Boer apparently wants out of Fremantle and Howlett's contract talks have supposedly stalled.

If the price was right both would improve our list IMO.

Howlett would be a massive get and would dominate in any side like ours for example where the opposition already focus on 2 or 3 players. Probably nothing in the reporting on his contract, they'd be crazy to let him go.

End of the H/A season means chopping time for the 10 clubs that missed out on finals ...

You've gotta let the Chaplin knock go Judge, he is crucial.

Wouldn't touch either. We have enough backs we don't need topping up unless they are young or genuine quality, not an okay (IMO) backman with no improvement left. Same with Jones in relation to our midfielders. Would have him over Thomas though

BRISBANE Lions have cut seven players from their list ahead of the upcoming AFL trade and free agency period.
 
Andrew Raines, James Polkinghorne, Jordan Lisle and Patrick Wearden have all been delisted, along with rookies Nick Hayes, Sam Michael and Isaac Conway.
 
They come on the back of the retirements of Jonathan Brown, Brent Moloney and Ash McGrath to make it the second successive season with sweeping changes at the club.
 
Raines told AFL.com.au last week he was keen to continue his 123-game career, while it is believed Polkinghorne – who has played 94 games – is eager to return to his home state of Victoria.

My mail is 3AW said that a Melbourne-based player is going to retire after having a falling out with his coach. Apparently not Collingwood or Essendon.
