Lol just read the article. Says about as much.

Stengle apparently looks the goods even more than Bolton, and that's saying something about whetting the appetite!

Maybe a few years ago. Very injure prone. Obviously comes cheap, although there are a few clubs interested.

Logically we cannot afford 2 x 1 million plus players. 
Just being pragmatic.

What if Cotch, Rance and Riewoldt were all front loaded?

How would Ben Brown look in RFC colours, there seems to be an issue about his resigning??

Hi signed weeks ago?

Was livid we didn't take him. Watched him all year on foxtel before he was drafted and knew he'd be a steal but I figured as a ruck not a forward haha

I know everyones claiming the Dees payed overs but I think theyve done well there. Lever could be the next Rance. They already have enough young talent, dont need early picks at thia stage.

Imagine if Roosy kept pick 2 instead of trading it for Tyson and 9.  :lol

Dees are the gift that keeps giving.

At the risk of doing a Claw, Lever looks like a third man up defender and do you really want to pay that much for him? Still young and if he can lock down the 1st string KPF he'd be worth it.

So hare Essendon weren't prepared to give up 11 for Stringer but did for Smith? How are they going to get both Stringer & Saad now?


I would've paid both firsts for Lever....kid's tracking well ahead of Rance at the same age....plus if he played for us he wouldn't have to play against Townsend.... :shh

Claw ,and nearly everyone else for that matter, said the same about Rance.... :shh

Hence why I said "at the risk of doing a Claw". Only issue is Claw still says it :shh
