Thought the talk had moved on from the Rockliff to Adelaide story. Can't imagine Adelaide getting both Rockliff and Gibbs. If we do and it costs us a few picks and maybe a fringe player or two, I'll take my hat off to the recruiters. Just glad that with news Lyons and Ellis-Yolman want to stay, Henderson seemed happy to stay and with a few blokes requesting trades to Adelaide that we seem to have become a club that attracts.

Rumour was that Brisbane would be happy with a 2nd round pick for Rockliff.
Crows give up pick 13 + a player for Gibbs and pick 24
Crows on trade pick 24 + maybe a player for Rockliff

That would be a serious win for Adelaide IMHO. Personally, I think that deal suits Carlton too, but I seem to be in the minority there. Reckon Rockliff would have to be more than that, depending on the player. He's an All Australian and 27 by the time next season kicks off. Have to think the compensation if they lose him to free agency next year would be better than pick 24. The only way that deal makes any sense to me is if Brisbane have a sniff of compensation being taken out of the equation next year.

Not sure we need him. Lovin getting Wells though!

Strange signing. Mayne has always had the attributes to be such a good forward but has been mostly underwhelming really.

Interesting to see how he goes at Collingwood

Would be happy to have him but not if its going to cost us what Carlton want.

thats $1.1m of their cap taken up by 2 aging recruits...didn't realise they had that much space...

Think Cloke was on $800k and Swan would be on $600k plus

Was only on the back end of a 2 year deal so reckon he would have been on $400k max.

Cloke's $ for next year will need to be in their cap [the portion they are paying] even if he leaves

Collingwood will have nothing in their cap for Cloke, He will forego the money to continue his career, basically he is tearing up his own contract. That has been said already.
The talk is 400k for 2 years at the Dogs, hence why the Pies happy to trade him for a pick in the 70's

2017 fashions are in. It's over bitches.

Brad Hill to Freo done for pick 23

Yes, the outside mid i think we are looking for. While not super quick has always been good with hand and foot. Hopefully will compliment our inside mids (Crouch x2, Sloane) Could also go to Half Back and release a Smith or Laird into the midfield.

Happy to pay overs $$ as well if we have too, worth the risk IMO. Worked with Betts. I would also take the risk with Rockliff if we could get him/afford him. He didn't fly to Adelaide yesterday, he flew to Melbourne to meet with clubs where all the clubs officials are.

Also heard Carlton aren't as angry as they are making out to be as they wouldn't have been able to get the 3 GWS lads without giving up something.

Gws now have pick 2.

Lions get: 3 & 16.
Giants get: 2, 31, 51 & 60.

Hawks done well again!

Great move by Giants again.
Also means we won't be trading pick 1 now

If blokes like Vickery, Mayne and Wells are getting $500k per season how the hell do clubs come in under the $10.5m salary cap with around 45 players to pay

To be fair he's coming from a pretty low base so he doesn't really know any better.

Bulldog Koby Stevens requests trade to the Saints.

Im not sure if we will accept him unless he changes his name to Jack

I just saw this on social media...

2015 - Hawks trade Jed Anderson for pick 15
2016 - Hawks trade pick 14 for Tom Mitchell

They are elite in everything they do!

This guy has some real grunt about him. I love his aggression and hardness at the ball and player. Just couldn't break back into our midfield after injury set him back. Will add good depth to the saints. I reckon he'd go for prob a third rounder...

So Freo gives up Mayne for Hill basically, break even for them IMO

Steele and Stevens add some serious depth to their midfield. They are looking good imo. They look a bit similar to the dogs of 2 years ago
