good to see

I really hope this guy can get some more senior games, can play!

Yeah I really like some of these young guys we've got, I don't think the draft picks will affect us as much as people think.

Ashby, Dalgleish, Gleeson, Kavanagh, Dell'Olio, O'Brien already enough talent not getting games,  :P

agree, i want dell'olio in the starting 22. flower jetta and alwyn

Dell has had a solid year in the VFl, wouldn't be surprised if they played Colyer as a small forward

yep agree, i'd be happy with either of those kids getting the role. although i think the bench cap might devalue colyer a bit, might only be sub material if he can't improve his tank.

Hearing Johannisen and pick 22 for Crameri.

Crameri deal is as good as done, we're (WBD) looking to lose pick 22 and JJ for him. Which means we could possibly use pick 4, pick 40, and Easton Wood to make a play for Patton. GWS super keen on Wood.

(In response to "I don't want to lose JJ") Me either but unfortunately I would sacrifice him for a FF (although calling Crameri a FF IS stretching it). Another season of Grant/Jones/Dickson would be disastrous.

I like the look of that Crameri deal,  :P

flower oath!
When you think about it, JJ was like 4th round pick during GWS/GCS pillaging era. so they are lucky to get anything for him.

[woofy]

I would not be happy with that trade one bit. On Monday Jason McCartney has stated on trade radio that JJ is 100% off the trade table.
