Anyone seen much of Stevenson? I haven't, but from what i have heard he is a running half back flanker but has had limited game time with the likes of Hurn, Waters, Butler and co...

Worth the punt, low risk, only losing pick 88.

Gilham at the moment. But he cant get on the park, and hasnt been able for a lot of the time since 08. The leg injuries have taken their toll. From a future perspective the Shoe has much more to offer, particularly if we can get him off the gorillas!


Gilham? What's he done again? Surely Shoey is in front. He's played some reasonable footy this year I thought.

Gilham has at least played in a winning Hawks side against Geelong ;)

obviously it helps with the extra 2 clubs and being longer, but is this the most active trade period ever?

Essentially, Tom Young for Jordan Russell. Not sure how we managed to wrangle that one but I'll take it :shock:

Clubs are doing their best to open their premiership window before GWS and GCS become juggernauts.

Pick 88



Port has on traded this pick to West Coast for Lewis Stevenson

Happy for the pick up, but can someone tell me how we got a draft pick for Rodan even though we delisted him ?

Reckon he's got bad hips and some other niggles that was enough for Richardson in the know and now at port to steer clear of. Hope he does ok though even if its for the pies

Russell would be better than Marty Clarke off half back.

For 71 why not take the risk.

Apparently Melbourne were happy to give pick 88 for Rodan so he could get to the Club quicker and settle in. They were unlikely to use pick 88 anyway. Hope he does well.

At worst he's better than Tom Young, whom we traded for 71.
