    Enough is enough. I'm going to pull my finger out and start the 2019 thread this week. Sorry for the tardiness!

    RETIRE:
    Grundy; reason has lost any pace he had, loses his opponent too easily. Reading the play is only good if the opposition are going long into forward line. It's time to find out if Maibaum has the goods.
    Jack: has lost his main weapon, his pace, now runs into trouble and first instinct is to duck. Kicks lack penetration.
    Johnson; as much as it would be a great feel good story to see him back, I don't see it happening now.

    McVeigh; It's his decision but should be encouraged to look at coaching role or move to another club like Hodge has done.

    Trades:
    Rohan, lack of real impact in most games. Ronke/Papley/Florent can all do his job now. May not get much but we can at least get to another club.
    Hanneberry; I hoped he would be a captain at some future stage, but he has been cruelled by injury. We have other options.
    I missed a big one: DUMB football, trade in some footy smarts.
    DELIST:
    Rose; he has been around for ages but is not AFL quality.
    This from a year ago...Not bad Sprite.

    Nicely spotted, royboy42. What were you doing trawling this thread from so long ago? The retirements weren't hard to call but the trades of Rohan and Hannebery were harder to predict: when did sprite post?

    This thread was very popular last year - we're a whisper from 5000 posts! This year's thread is hotting up a bit now but has been a lot quieter, especially early in the year.

    Thanks royboy. Perhaps we can revisit my 2019 prognostications next year.

    I think it was towards the latter part of the season and being frustrated with their continual inclusion in the team.

    I just heard from an impeccable source that Joe Daniher will not be coming to us in 2020. But....never say never.

    Damn right! It’s only 520 (519 now) posts behind the legendary Tippett thread. And considering we’re nearly 3/4 through 2019, the 2018 trading thread should be closed and buried!

    I enjoy going back a few years on rainy days to see how comments made back in the day stand up (or don't).

    Sprite's was so spot on, I couldn't help but highlight it. Wont do it again though. (Probably).
