If we trade for Lochie O'Brien as well we'll have the trifecta of awful players with the last name O'Brien

Scarily, our current O’Brien is probably the least awful of the 3.

I know, crazy stuff

Scarily, our current O’Brien is probably the least awful of the 3.

By a fair margin.

 

[rabidcrow]

Surely we are not interested…..
Would be more of a need for Port.
If we did pick him up, what would that mean for Borlase?

I assume if we get anyone Borlase is gone

If we went Choi, it ain't to replace Himmler in the magoos, it means they have finally woken up to the fact that O'Brien is shithouse. About time too, can't mark, can't kick, can't tap and comes into the changerooms after a game with his guernsey cleaner than we he went out.

If we can trade him out, it would be even better list management

And a couple of Lochie’s

I can't wait for the day we get our no Rorys club.

I don't really get GWS' interest in Himmelberg.

He's not going to be even close to best 22, and he's not a tried and true role player you can rely on either

They lack depth in talls & are reminded every week that his brother can seriously play.

May be able to get more out of him with a change of environment.

They do lack depth, but I reckon they'd be better off with a player that's shown a greater level of consistency at AFL level. Himmelberg, you just can't rely on him to play a role

You realise you are not helping your own cause...

Are people keeping their eye on Tomlinson tonight??

I've seen enough over his career to know he doesn't have it. And he's old

Shhhh....not another word until they trade for him and we get a return for a 'quality' contracted tall

Seems our recruiting team is not either if the reports we are not intetested are correct

 

[Trigger13]

Chol, Burgess, O’Brien.

Yuck, yuck, yuck.

 

[phill5158]

I really don't get the Cox fapping on here personally, he's a good KPD but not a player we should sell the the farm to lure home. Altogether different if he comes a free agent at only cost to the salary cap.

I think he'd add a lot to our backline, has had some very big games for Freo and their backline would suck without him.

I personally think a quality one on one player would suit us better. Someone like Butts but better.
Cox strikes me more as a CHB, and we have Murray who was on track to be better.

 

[Mutineer]

Chol, Burgess, O’Brien.

Yuck, yuck, yuck.

O'Brien as depth makes the most sense given he'd probably replace Borlase on the rookie list and cost nought and very little salary cap.

Maybe. I'd like to see us go more back to giving rookie options to raw players.

O'Brien isn't a key defender though... better suited as a 3rd tall... & don't we already have Worrell, Hinge & Max.

 

[ABAB]

I guess, because they were already wedded to Grundy / Sweet options

Thought GCS announced they were willing to trade Chol immediately after their season ended?

You obviously rate him a fair bit higher than I do, and like I said as a free agent fine but you're kidding yourself if you think Freo will let him go at anything like a fair deal while contracted.

 

[Mutineer]

Maybe. I'd like to see us go more back to giving rookie options to raw players.

So would I but O'Brien as cheap depth I'd be fine with in the short term.

If GC looking to free up their cap, surely we can trade in Choi & Hollands for plenty of points picks... assuming Berg heads to GWS.
