Croad for Presti?

Hmm.

What sort of cigarettes do they smoke behind the dunnies at St.Kevins?

It sounds pretty good to me, but I wonder what The Hitman would think of that?

I don't think JLC will agree with you about Sir Scott Burns, but I reluctantly have to agree with you. Scott Burns is a wonderful player. One of the most courageous I've seen. But he misses far too many games through injury. Unfortunately his injury woes will affect his attractiveness as a trade lure.

I agree with all your "untouchables".

I do recall James Hird having similar chronic injuries yet Essendon stuck by him. Collingwood also persisted for Lee Walker knee after knee injury. Instead of looking to trade SSB i would be looking at how we can overcome his injury problems and help the guy out through the tough time he is going through.

I agree with your other player ratings. I think Presti is definately going pergaps to the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs have absoloutely no key position players.

I would offer the Number one draft pick, Prestigacomo and Heath Scotland for Scott West. If we had Scott West our midfield would be the most potent in the league.

I am a huge Scott Burns fan. He is the heart and sole of our side and therefore means more to the team than his form or nuber of games would indicate. Having said that, if the right deal comes along it has to be considered.

Presti is needed because we are the side that has problems down back. If we gor Croad for him it would be a good deal but the Hawks wouldn't do that deal. Our 1 hope is to pay him to dump the Hawks and nominate for the draft so they are under pressure to do the deal he wants. A few $ and a promised media career could get him in black & white for a reasonable price if the Hawks thing it is our way or nothing.

I would prefer to keep Johnson because he is still on a steep learning curve and improving. I agree he is hard at it and we need that more than anything except a centre hit out at the moment. Licuria is eminantly tradable as far as I am concerned (sorry @sh) and so is Dimma. Throw in Ukovich, Wakelin, Lane and Freeborne and we have something to deal with.
