Trade + Draft Period 2018

[Lightning McQueen]

Wood needs to step up and take the pressure off Brown.

Yeah, consistently, I didn't see much of North last year but I recall one game where it tore it a new one.

[Bum Crack]

Collingwood have finally offered Langdon a contract. His manager (Scott Lucas) said he has no choice but to consider options from other clubs.

Surely the Pies won't lose him because they have a big offer for May?

He can come to Geelong if he wants

[Booney]

Or Higgins or Goldstein or Tarrant or Dumont or possibly Polec or possibly Gaff...blah blah blah

My angle was more of inside hard ball get players, I think the 3 potential recruits will be very handy, Hall was harshly dealt with at the Gold Coast, he must have stuffed up off the field somehow, if North land all 3 it will be huge for them, a replacement for Waite would be next on the wishlist to take some heat off Brown.

North ranked 16th for clearances, just saying.

[Lightning McQueen]

How was Hall harshly treated?

Has a lot to offer from what I've seen, his numbers were pretty good considering he was playing for the bronze medallists of the paralympics.

Averaged 24 disposals per game over the past 4 years, deserved more than 6 games this year.

[Brodlach]

How was Hall harshly treated?

Not sure but he definitely fell out of favour with Dew.

He is a one way runner, my wife has more defensive pressure than him

Injuring a Pectoral Tendon might have played a big part too

Chuck in another HBG player then, my initial comment was pertaining to being reliant on Cunnington and Ziebell for getting the hard ball in the limited games I watched them.

Yes, I agree, that's where Polec, Hall and Gaff will help out.

Doesn’t say much for those who finished below us then if we were 16th in clearances...

One thing is certain, they wont both be at the Pies next year

I don't think you need May.

I know, we have an abundance of injured defenders

Port, who finished below you, were #1 for clearances but 16th for disposal efficiency which ( and I know daisy thinks I'm close ) even though I'm no coach would suggest we need to work on our ball movement once out of stoppages.

Again, I'm no coach ( yet, hey daisy? ) but I'd think North might need to work on clearances? Then again, maybe you won the ball in close but had nobody to give it too. ( 7th for contested possessions, 14th for uncontested ).

Booney you could run like Hayes but you kick like shit

Fixed by the end of trade period!

That was my point, they never recovered from big Jack and recruiting has been as poor as anyone's since, that's the luxury of being a coach of a crap side, you can buy 4 or 5 years at the helm with the word "rebuild".

I disagree, Elliott's balls up went out the window 2 rebuilds ago. This one is 100% on this administration.

Partly to blame who have left are Kernahan and Trigg.
McKay has to accept the blame as well as Silvagni too.

No easy fix unfortunately

Silvagni? How? He took over a mess and has been part of the plan to go to the draft (circa 2016). I can't see how he's part of the problem, sorry.

The jury is still out but he has failed with several of the recycled players he brought in.
Alex Silvagni, Lobbe, Phillips and even Wright who has now retired were and are all duds.

Wright was your leading goal kicker on at least one season
