We should be targeting the likes of O'Meara and Prestia and that's it

Exactly if we want to stay at the top. If we can not get them (elite players) then go to the draft. Lake, Gunston, Burgoyne and Gibbo have all been elite grabs. Hale to a lesser extent but brilliant at the role he was recruited for.
 
Ahh.. My topic of choice keeps popping up :)
I couldn't agree more in that if he's taken as a stop gap player he's done. He has said himself that there are things that can be improved in his game; speed, agility, dropping a few kgs are all things that can be changed during pre season to maximise his potential.

Did he play most of his VFL games forward or back Rocket?

Forward
 
Surely a pipedream? When was the last time a Collingwood player crossed to Hawthorn? I actually can't recall one.

Kevin Coghlan, in the 50s, Ian Bremner in the late 60s, and more recently ruckmen Brock and Cegs. There may be more. However our best pie import is Gavin Wright.

Of course that should be Graham Wright. Thanks for the correction MB.

As a free agent, with our ageing midfield, Sidebottom would be an amazing addition.

He would be an okay addition. He doesn't fill the need for an elite midfielder to replace Hodge/Mitchell. He's more on the Shiels level, which is nice, but he's probably not the guy who leads your midfield to a premiership.

Guess I rate him more than most here. He's not the elite bottom of a pack type we're gonna need but he makes everything run much more smoothly.

The 'holy grail' better do a lot more than make everything run more smoothly! I'm not saying he's not a good player, but for the amount he'll cost, and the fact he won't be that midfield leader, he really isn't the pinnacle of who we should target.

Considering he'd be a free agent, and what we'd have to trade to get anyone better than him, I'd say landing him would be the best possible outcome I could see happening.
