No Change to the top 6:
Then a lot of talk about maybe another pace bowler, but I reckon they expect the pitch to dry up for Holland to keep his place:
Was interesting on Trade Radio where Port Adelaide & Carlton openly said that whoever GCS draft, they will be looking to get them in a couple of years when they move home. GCS have no chance.
Carlton would probably pay him more (Not ridiculous money, just more) as well on a longer contract. I reckon we would sign him for 1 year at close to minimum wage.
If a team doesn't win a premiership it doesn't mean their game plan is bad, or their game plan won't hold up at the pointy end of the season.
I think that our coaching and game plan is horrible at the moment especially with the team we have. If we don't change this, I don't think that we can...
Who in that draft would be above him?
Clayton Oliver (Pick 4) then anyone else?
Those around the mark Charlie Curnow (Pick 12), Jade Gresham (Pick 18), Eric Hipwood (Pick 14), Tom Phillips (Pick 58), Daniel Rioli (Pick 15), Tom Doedee (Pick 17), Blake Hardwick (Pick 44),...... There are a few...
Jordan Roughead would be on near the minimum wage. He will be in their VFL team as a backup in case Grundy goes down. Potentially they could look at him in defence if signing Langdon means they are out of the race for May
He is gettable. Seeing as Port gave Pittard for free, Hombsch you think would be released for a 4th/5th rounder. As they were the 2 players Port told were not wanted.
Would he be better than say Collins from the VFL? I don't know much about Hombsch.
I won't even start on the salary requirements, but on May, GCS would get a top 3 pick next year with a free agency offer. I think that he would definitely improve our team and release Rampe.
What could we possibly give up to get him? I don't think that our 1st next year, and Saints 2nd round...
Just one thing I wanted to say. Trading for the sack of trading never works well. Port last year, Crazy Vossy @ Brisbane, etc.... You need to identify targets that are going to improve the footy club. If you can't, go to the draft.
Scully is better than Shiel. What is scaring me about him, is if GWS take a low pick for him is his body cooked?
Scully I would only want on a 2 year contract max. Maybe a 3rd year if he hits KPIs.
