Naah, Clapo you should be creaming yourself AWS - three big forward targets that will at worst attract the three best defenders from the oppo, leaving the likes of Buchanan and Hooper too devour any loose balls culminating into a pretty destructive forward line. Big question is who will make space for who? Reckon Brown will play the Richo role and end up on the wingNote, despite all the other feigned optimism, I'd feel much more confident about it if we had another decent midfielder
Midfield is solid enough with good field kicks like Johnstone, Rich, Rischitelli, Black, Power able to hit the tit of Brownolashaw on most occassions.
Xav Clarke is a daft trade tho - not sure why you'd a walking injury in to your club

AWTA. I think the times our midfield struggled was when they had to play short passes, or had to slow down an attack, because their only target was Brown/Bradshaw, and they had 2 defenders on them. With 3 targets, and a couple of smalls working off them, we'll be able to flow a lot better out of defence, and so I reckon you'll see our disposal of the ball improve a lot.

Would love to know what exactly Carlton understood about what Fev had done in Brownlow night and when, and what they told Brisbane, if anything. It was a big risk by Brisbane, but it looks like Carlton had no desire to pursue the truth in case it ruined his trade value further. Par for them really.
Wanted the Pies to take a risk but it looks like we might have dodged a bullet with him. He could be facing a Cousins style 'disrepute' suspension before round 1 rolls around.

It's not so much the delivery, as the winning contested ball I'm worried about.
Personally think Bradshaw will spend more time down back this season with Fev in the team, as we have a fairly short backline aside from Merritt and Patful.

You only have to look at the Saints a few years back to know that 3 talls can often not work. Bradshaw (if he doesn't retire) will certainly spend most of his time down back, and play the Adam Hunter style swingman role as Jack alluded to,

I'd be very suprised if they didn't know, it seems to have been common knowledge in upper footy circles and if the AFL knew about it then Brisbane would have know about it. However Carlton are lucky in that it didn't get out as you would have seen a media and fan backlash similar to Campbell Brown and the trade would never have gone ahead.

Yeh but Brown, Bradshaw & Lynch netted three flags altho I agree that either Bradshaw or Brown will be shuffled around the ground.

They were also part of one of the greatest teams in history, bit different to the midfield they'll have behind them now.

What do people reckon will happen with Luke Ball?
Melbourne have made it clear they want him from what I understand. And Richmond haven't ruled it out, and Collingwood are obviously still interested.
Ball and Cousins in Richmond, whether injured or not, would make the rest of the soft ****s surely have to stand up and realise what being hard at it is all about.

I'm not sure what the point of us going for Ball is. We traded basically the exact same player but younger in Brock McLean.

Does Ball still have the option of staying at St Kilda?

Can't see him getting to Collingwood now...if he nominates for the PSD he's no chance, and if he nominates for the draft I think Essendon will pick up with either 24 or 26, you'd have though Brisbane will want to pick up a kid, but I'm not sure with Voss so they could use 27 on him if he's available.

Hahahahahaha. Are they going to rename him "Brock" as well?
Yeah if he's in the PSD we'll of course pick him up and I'm sure he'll do well for us, but it makes absolutely zero ****ing sense.
