I do think grabbing the Whitlock brothers could be a really good idea or Shanahan if we get extremely lucky because our key forwards for 2026 are literally just McDonald Amartey and McLean as don't think Buller (unless he turns something major around) will be there and Hamling won't be there eitherYeah they're best is right up there which makes me want to stick with them. The most experienced in the trio is McDonald on something like 70odd games so still an inexperienced group
I'm more worried about having another key defender if McCartin or Melican go down. The brothers are my preference but for different reasonsI do think grabbing the Whitlock brothers could be a really good idea or Shanahan if we get extremely lucky because our key forwards for 2026 are literally just McDonald Amartey and McLean as don't think Buller (unless he turns something major around) will be there and Hamling won't be there either
I get all the risks, but I think we should at least be looking at Tom Lynch as a possibility.
If we win the flag, you wouldn't bother.If we win the flag it can be justified

Well exactly. Hence why I am suggesting Lynch as a possibility. Reid is retired and ain't coming back. And none of our existing three keys play with any kind of aerial presence at all.No because if it goes pear shaped well who cares we tried to get another flag
We need to be able to take marks this is where for all his faults we miss Reid.
Kinda like when we mastered slingshot footy in 2012 then went out and got Tippett. Didn't understand it then either.Well exactly. Hence why I am suggesting Lynch as a possibility.

But if we win the flag then we have proven that we can win one with our existing forward line so wouldn't need to go and start taking risks on someone like Lynch.

It's a parody threadIts funny when people get antsy in this thread and miss the whole "hypothetical" part of it.
Love the hypothetical but reality is that ain't happening because players need to agree to a move and opposition clubs also need to want a player. Don't think any of those lot mentioned hold significant trade value if we offload themOur needs are key position, we have no TPP.
So clearly we will draft small scrawny half back flankers!
I think we should look to trade ladhams, Parker and/or Adams and get someone like Marshall from Port.
I was more thinking $$ we actually have 2x 1sts this year, so can probably get a deal done.Love the hypothetical but reality is that ain't happening because players need to agree to a move and opposition clubs also need to want a player.

Yes and we would also stuff up our backline for years to come if we relied solely on all 3 of Snell Edwards and Cochran to break through. And also Todd Marshalls stats are basically the same as Joel Amartey's stats from this year so he isn't much of an upgrade in any categoryI was more thinking $$ we actually have 2x 1sts this year, so can probably get a deal done.
Joel ahead in goals, tackles, disposal use and contested possessionYes and we would also stuff up our backline for years to come if we relied solely on all 3 of Snell Edwards and Cochran to break through.

Why post when you can just thumbs down everyone else's comments!Its funny when people get antsy in this thread and miss the whole "hypothetical" part of it.
Put it this way it is maybe a marginal upgrade (potentially) but definitely not an upgrade i would be spending 1-2 FRPs forJoel ahead in goals, tackles, disposal use and contested possession
Todd ahead in marks, total disposals, inside 50s and uncontested possessions
Basically the same everywhere else includijg contested marking
You always have to look ways to improve Tippett was a no brainer.
