Not unreasonable I'd think, see what an injury prone forward from St Kilda would be worth at Trade time. In case you're confused no we're not talking about Hamil of course we already know what he's worth ($500,000 a season) and hardly plays a game.

Get yourself 2 x 1st rounders, 2 x 2nd rounders, 2 x 3rd rounders and get half-a-dozen quality kids to the club this year.
Not sure we'd need that many, the list isn't as bad as people make out. You'll be wishing you had some of them in the coming years I can promise you that.

You will see the results more quickly than you think.
When the core of Walker, Waite, Murphy, Simpson, Gibbs, Kennedy and Hartlett mature to the same level, you're right. I think we need a strong core of about 10-12 to really make an impact with a strong ruck division. That reminds me, good luck with the former All Australian by the way.

I believe in unity. I will support and back the decisions the club makes in the long term interests of this club. If they decide Pagan is the way forward for 2008 then so be it. I do not believe this to be the case.

And to think Brendan Fevola is just entering into his prime. Thanks for reminding us just what he could be. Opposition clubs seem to be only too aware. You know for all the years that your great full forward played and as many Coleman medals and AA's he won, it never yielded a premiership. I know that's something he still regrets. He probably should have left sooner.
