That's if Silvagni and Rice want to go to you ;) Sil might want to make a history at another club, and Rice might want to play for us!! Rice is still 50/50 for me, seeings as he trains with us 2 days a week.

All Australian Under 18 team

Will be interesting choice for Brisbane if both Keays and Hipwood get nominated early

[Mat0369]

If Jack Silvagni can just do enough to show he is going to be good (which he has done with the bag of 6) but also not do enough to go first round that will be great for us. It also looks like we need a top 2 pick to grab one of the two KPP's

Both him and Bailey looked to go early to mid 3rd round. So be cheap pick ups for you guys.

Round 17 - Melbourne vs St Kilda - The Parish Cup

I guess today is also a bit of a Parish Cup game as well

[Bill Manspeaker]

well we stuffed that up. couldn't be happier though at the moment  ;D

Hope so. If we can get those guys relatively cheap in terms of what we have to give up for them it will help the process. GC winning was great for us as well. I don't know if they exactly go KPP since their list is stacked (May, Thompson, Lynch, Dixon, Day, Wright to name a few) and they were after a classy HB. I think we need a top two pick though to be safe so here is hoping Gaz helps them win a few. Otherwise we might have to do something like Yaz and 3/4 for 1/2 and some dead weight which I don't think is exactly going to help us.

Well i'm still fairly confident that Dixon won't be there next year, so won't be the worse thing in the world if they tried to pick up Schache or Weitering.

But if you guys finish on the bottom, im 99% sure you won't go past picking up Schache. And you'll find there are better key position defenders later in the draft, than key position forwards.

And if the Saints keep winning games we can kiss Parish goodbye. Essendon would be over the moon to pick him up.  If we finish above both Melbourne and Essendon, we will most likely end up with either Mathieson, Balic or Partington. All 3 i'd be fine with :P

[Pkbaldy]

I didn't watch the big game of Schache v Weitering. But by the looks of the best on and goals kicked, Weitering was given 2nd best on and Schache only kicked 1 goal. So i'm assuming he won? Keeps things interesting.

[Mat0369]

I think if the Lions have pick one I think they will take a key forward. Key forwards are harder to find then key defenders.

We're definitely finding that  :-[

[kilbluff1985]
