Looking ever-the-more likely. I'm happy. Can we get it done without forfeiting our first-rounder is the big question?

We need to trade in more picks.

Can land Prestia and keep our 1st rounder if we are daring enough at the trade table.
we all know what to do...
Trade B Ellis, Houli and Conca. Griff too but our big man stocks are so thin, we really can't, especially when Vickery will most likely go as a FA. Edwards and Grigg too.

But just expect the favourites to hang on. :banghead

After what I seen yesterday
Wouldn't trade Houli
We are much better when he plays
Ball use and run is extremely good

I'm not going on what I saw yesterday. I'm going on what I've seen over the last three seasons including 3 elimination final debacles..... :whistle

Exactly. Our problem isn't that we have players who cannot play. It is we have too many players who are way too inconsistent. We need to replace those with players who have more consistency. Players that can execute under extreme pressure and make the right decisions in those situations. That is what we lack and the players I named are the main culprits.

Wouldn't trade him either but until he's depth rather than one of our better players we are going no where

Saying that, he at least can live with himself after the Port final. Was one of few who actually tried to give us something.

So it looks as though this is happening for our first pick - all I'll say is I really do hope theyve done due dilligence on his knee - 2 interrupted seasons in a row now. I wont accept another yarran type debacle where we trade for a ready made player and he's not "cherry ripe"

Peggy said that the board must ratify taking away a first draft pick. This is what Peggy said at a recent President's dinner. So they'll be sticking their neck out too if this happens.

Ball use is extremely good??????????????????????

Did you actually watch the game?

Ball use by foot is average at best. (his kicking this season has deteriorated)

Still very reluctant to put his head over a ball.

We'll be daring during draft week.  Heard we are offering up Batchelor.
Does anyone have half an idea on anything?
