Though if you guys lose Yarren to the draft then both guys gone will definitely hurt your quest for goals in 2016. Broughton replaces Rumble up back for you guys?....or would he be used in the WAFL as a mid?....be interested to see who takes Menagola...if he even does get a 3rd chance.....surely would have to be one of the lesser sides?

I'd be surprisd if Yaz goes to be perfectly honest. He started the season in a blaze of glory then went very quiet after the state game. His GF was excellent but I'm not sure that would be enough to get him drafted. Broughto would be an attacking half back or defensive mid...he's not tall enough to be a KPP but would be more than useful operating between the 2 fifties.

Menegola would want to go to someone like Melbourne where he's a good chance to play regular footy. I couldn't see him breaking into a top 8 side.

BC wrote: yes DG...i think we'll have enough firepower up forward to cover him considering he was out for most of the season and only got going in the GF. I agree it was a good time to kick 7 goals but we certainly didn't rely on him during the season.

Very true BC, but he is very dangerous when fit. Anyhow we will get JB's boy so we will be sweet. Menegola is the one we will miss the most if he goes.

4 Vic teams chasing mena so seems he is a cert to get a gig, agree re Yazz, when he's on he almost unstoppable but that doesn't happen consistently enough, plus his defensive game would not stand up at AFL level. I understand he had off field issues last season so if that's sorted out he should be more focused on his footy. he was heading for a 60-70 goal season then went very cold, but played a blinder in the big dance.

Broughton is best attacking off the half back with an occasional run in the mids, we get back big Stocks next year so the rucks are looking pretty good with Bestry & Madut to back up the big fella, that will allow Clang and Dela to be KPP, plus we also get Stevo back from injury so he may be an option at FF, he's played there on a few occasions. I don't think we'll struggle up forward with Deluca, Halligan, Dela, Yazz, plus we got plenty of scoring from the mids and if we can entice TDL back that would be icing on the cake, he was a 60+ goal forward the year he was drafted. There were rumours that Robbo & Twomey make hang up the boots, any news on that front? Twomey could easily play FF for a few more years, with Broughton back he plays the same sweeper role at Twomey so that could release him forward. backline looks super solid again, Dec Jackson will slip seamlessly into Rumbers spot, I think he will really step up given that FB is his for mthe keeping, big physical player with genuine pace.

Have heard that Yazz will not be with us next year weather drafted or not.

Damn. Starting to look like it could be another big player turnover again.

Don't worry you'll have the shopping trolley out as per usual.

No doubt

A real shame if this is true, Yazz is one player worth going to the footy to watch when he is playing.
Welcome back to Greg Broughton who was rarely beaten when he played for us before and good for the odd specky ! We don't see enough of them anymore.
