Well, if we get Bennell, I hope we can keep his bs under control, or he can keep his bs under control...

Griffiths has to be traded. No ifs or buts. I love Big Ben. But we have a heap of tall forwards. McBean and McKenzie coming through we need to move him on and put his currency elsewhere.
Go Tigers!

I haven't heard this myself but apparently its being reported that the Tigers have added Griff to the early picks for Treloar.
Can anyone confirm this report?

I can't see Dimma offing Griffiths tbh. Obviously has big wraps on him to bring him in for a final underdone. Sure he didn't perform, but Dimma isn't silly enough to think there wasn't a chance that'd happen. Then again I'm purely guessing

Griff had an absolute shocker BUT had played only 1 game in 9 weeks and no game in 6. Hardly had the chance to regain match fitness and touch. My beef with him really now is his durability. I'm happy to trade him if he gets us a gun player but not for a nothing pick.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

agree on griffiths, although the things i was calling him with his early shots on goal suggested he has a clit rather than a nose.

Conca also has played barely any footy all year, let alone senior and none for quite a while.

To put players with such a recent game history into a finals game they need to be experienced and proven top line players.

Both these players played as youd expect young players lacking match conditioning would in an intense finals game.

The decision to pick 1 would be stupid but two just defies comprehension and should be layed wholey and squarely at the feet of those that made the decision
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

Has Hampton been brought up yet, may compliment our backline??

GREATER Western Sydney defender Curtly Hampton has joined teammates Adam Treloar and Cam McCarthy in requesting to be traded out of the club.

It was just a week ago the sought-after Treloar officially named Collingwood as his preferred home for 2016 and beyond.

Then McCarthy followed suit at the end of the week, but while the Giants have agreed to work on shifting Treloar, they've "categorically rejected" McCarthy’s request.

Season review: Greater Western Sydney

Now, Hampton wants out after spending much of this season in the NEAFL.

The 22-year-old is contracted for another year but wants more senior opportunities after seemingly struggling to bounce back from a shoulder injury last year.

A former Northern Territory zone selection, Hampton hurt his shoulder in round 12 against Essendon last season and has played just six AFL games since.

"The club understands Curtly’s desire to seek greater playing opportunities and will do its best to help facilitate a suitable trade," the Giants said on Tuesday night.

Hampton, from Alice Springs, has played 51 AFL games and was moved from attack into defence in the middle of the 2012 season.

“We are really excited about what we have brought in. We have got great depth of players that can take us where we need to go. We are just putting some cream on the top at the moment,” he said.

Shaun Hampson is the No.1 man"

Sounds exactly like a Blair Hartley Special this one. Undervalued and out of plain sight. Would be a ripper for us.

Zac Smith is looking for a new home in 2016.
Prefers melbourne and wants to be the number 1 ruck.
worth a shot?

Also Daniel Gorringe wants to be traded, originally from SA but could develop into number 1?

Lol just saw he's been heavily linked to collingwood already on some dumb footy fb page. Imagine their supporters just sitting around making rumors for the sake of it

Smith depends if he is mentally over his knee injury. How would you even figure that out?  :lol He's looked soft this year but good in the past.

Gorringe is poo and a poo bloke apparently too.

Curtly Hampton would be a good get I think. Had a bad year so would be undervalued.

Dude had nearly 40 touches first game back. Seems like good preparation for him. Hope he keeps it up.  :lol

Gold Coast's Daniel Gorringe has requested a trade with 3 clubs circling.

Gold Coast's Zac Smith is requesting a trade.

Former Geelong player Mitch Brown is reportedly wanted by Essendon.

Carlton's Tom Bell is more than likely going to land up at Brisbane next year.

Jack Watts has now said he wants to stay at Melbourne, however, the club may still want to get rid of him.

Gold Coast are considering a move for Brisbane's Jed Adcock.

Curtly Hampton has nominated Adelaide as his preferred club of choice.

Carlton want GWS player Lachie Plowman who now wants to come back to Victoria.
