Yeah Blair really aced 'em all when he snagged Hunt from right under everyone's noses....

[bojangles17]

We aced the draft , improved our list , alternately we could have mortgaged punt rd for paddy Ryder or Kristiian  jacksh or Jon o rourke or Tom Boyd .....no , we weely stuffed up 

[Diocletian]

Hunt actually made our list worse - Geelong improved their list just by getting rid of him.

[bojangles17]

Well we won more games than the previous year with a worse list 

[Diocletian]

...and still lost the most important one.....

No, we haven't played in that game since 1982

SEPTEMBER 25, 5.42pm: HARTLETT WANTS TO STAY

Star Power midfielder Hamish Hartlett has entered contract negotiations with the club and hopes to remain a one-club player.

Hartlett, who is contracted until the end of 2016, said he is happy at the club and doesn't want to play anywhere else.

"There's always a bit of work that goes into a contract negotiation, but I'm very happy at Port Adelaide and want to stay here," Hartlett said on the club's website.

"The only guernsey I want to wear in the AFL is a Port one.

"My family is in Adelaide, it's my home town, I've got no desire to be anywhere else, and this is my club."

From BF:

Here's more that I've learnt today. The club realises it's difficult to sell our brand to sponsors and fans after failing at three elimination finals. Signing an established star has two effects, firstly, it improves our team and that's obviously the most important aspect. Secondly, this player will excite fans and sponsors, give Richmond the ability to promote 2016 memberships and hit their target of 75,000 for 2016. The player I'm speaking about has agreed to come to Richmond on principle, his management like the deal, he's spoken with a few players. The key here is simple, complete the deal. Hopefully losing first round draft picks and a key position player is enough. If not, the deal may never happen. Club is working hard to make it happen, lots of internal pressure on Blair Hartley. Just like there was on Burge last year. Hartley simple needs to nail a deal, his career is on the line. That's why he's on the phone with Treloar again. He is a resilient person Blair, he will fight tooth and nail and his aim is to exceed expectation, not just meet it. I've heard that the club has had a meeting with Bennell - don't know how the meeting went, the leadership group believe we've got the right practises in place to deal with Bennell. In other words, the players are totally on board for him.

Wonder who he was talking about in the early part of the post. Must be a big name for 2 first rounders and a KPP.

O'Meara seems to be the latest rumour....

Luke Parkers name was mentioned a lot on the forum as well, but no one had a clue.
