I've read a few times we are linked to Hobbs.

Surely not, seems like  a dud to me, and one that is on a contract.

Allegedly Hobbs is the the GF sprint, so at least we can see how slow he really is  :rollin

I know I'm in the minority,  perhaps even the only one  ;D but I see alot of upside in Hobbs. His first season was very good, he has great hands for an inside mid (when they've bothered to play him there) and as we know you don't have to be super quick as an inside mid  :clapping

We have Ross, who is better than Hobbs

I would generally not ever write off any player 3, even 4 years into the system. Particularly if they rated highly at under age level.
There’s a heap of premiership players who came from other clubs like our captain and recruited as rookies

One would hope so

Seeing one was drafted in 2018, the other in 2021

IMO

9 and 10 for Bolton is fair.

I think 6 and 12 for Rioli is overs but I’m not complaining lol

13 for bakes is fair too.
Receive pick 22 as compo for Graham and that would give us picks 1, 6, 9, 10, 12, 13, 21, 22.

Hopefully, we can trade our bunch of latter picks for yet another first rounder with a club that needs the draft points for their academy/FS kid.

I think the graham compo will be end of second round and imo again fair enough.

I took that as a joke considering Sydney’s key forwards went missing in the GF

Of course it's a joke, but as I said they would be stupid to not ask the question of either.

They are a shambles and can continue to fail, or try and recruit some people who actually win flags.

As I said in the Jack Graham thread with all these rumours flying, it's going to be interesting on Tuesday night

No I haven't

And I'm not going but have number of friends who are  :shh :whistle

Just think it's going to be a very interesting night.

Think about it...

The likely winner or at least top 3 finsher wants out,

the winner of the Roach medal wants out,

the VC and Iikely top 10 finsher wants out,

this site's favourite whipping boy is currently unsigned

We have multiple players still unsigned for next season

Every player has to be there, though I don't expect Dusty to show, so just think it will be an interesting evening
