2024 Picks



2025 Picks

 

[Topiary]

He’s highly rated by the giants, nailed on best 22 player. My worry is that we already have heaps of half back flankers.

Just let others who no more do their job.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

who? (being sarcastic but wouldn't be surprised if he's not on an AFL list in 4 years)

Wow? Fr???

 

[Dewyyyyy]

A lot of people are underestimating Sicily as a forward.

He would be a top 5 KPF if he played there permanently.

I’ve seen you die on this hill and no. He’d be a good forward but I don’t think his natural game suits being a forward long term or for long stints. Short stints and in the middle he is dangerous but he is the best defender in the league when fit and firing, he hasn’t shown that capacity anywhere else and it’s not going to be a long term thing.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Long term I may agree, although that midfield would lack the 'blue collar' hard nosed player with Nash and Worpel both missing from it. On balance I'd say one of them has to play.

I’d agree too so maybe one of them does and someone else on the outside drops out.

 

[Steven Tyler]

Don’t pay the Perryman until he gets you to the other side

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Xander suggests that the Hawks are into Perryman - is he worth the 800k

Check very late in this report

Good player, but I don't think he's worth that much and he plays in an area we are pretty well stocked in.

Is he a Free Agent?

 

[The Chad and I]

You need list depth. We take the players we can

This is not in dispute.
Q is what is the depth composed of?

We don't have gaping holes.
We have competent defenders of all sizes.
Competent mids of most types.
Excellent small forward grouping.
3 KPF of various profiles.

We don't need to add a guy who is just middling and will get in the way of a younger and more talented player because wins/losses aren't as critical right now as they are when we will be contending.

If we were in contention, ready-made backups in various positions would be of more importance.

[MasterSamurai]

İt's either of Perryman or battle, not both.

 

[TylerDurden]

Get both.
They're UFAs, and walk for nothing.

 

[kirbatron]

Yes to Perrymen. Yes to Battle.

If nothing else renowned player manager Chris De Burgh has warned us not to pay him up front in full

 

[Judd2Sewell]

How are we lining-up with both Battle and Perryman?

DGB and Serong would likely be out the door or traded at season's end.

He has great skills thats what we need an abundance off. Forget positions and even the look at Amon he is playing half back precisely for the same reason. Maybe Amon moves further up the ground.

So be it.

 

[Hot Cheese Rioli]

They’ve offered him a 5 year deal. He’s hardly a discard.

Fair enough. I read he was uncontacted - didn't appreciate they had offered him 5 years. Therefore he's not a Giants discard and sounds like a promising target.

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

Perryman can play wing too. Really good player and would easily be in our best 22. Same with Battle. No point worrying about 'x' HFC player that is worse and mightn't get a game or are pushed out the door bc of it. If you're improving the list without giving up anything other than salary cap (which he have ****loads of) you launch straight into that.

 

[Topiary]

Why??

 

[Judd2Sewell]

So be it.

Yeah I'm not saying that as if it's a negative or a reason to not sign Battle and Perryman. More just an observation. Personally I think we'd only sign one of the two, not both.

I still wonder how we would line up with both in the side, along with Smith.

Impey - Frost - Mitchell
Sicily - Battle - Scrimshaw

Meek - Newcombe - Day
Amon - Smith - Weddle

Moore - Lewis - Ginnivan
Watson - Chol - Hardwick

Bench from:
Perryman, D'Ambrosio, CJ, Worpel, Nash, Mackenzie, MacDonald, Ward, Dear, Phillips, Blanck, Wingard.

Please tell me why you don’t take both. Offers the HFC far more List flexibility. Both are free agents. Who has the money?

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Gardner, Pickett and Noble were all taken in the 2019 MSD, Pre-covid.

Newcombe and D'Ambrosio might like a word with you too.

Durham too

Perryman would be very handy off a wing for us. Was a bit more attacking back around 2020 and played further up the ground and hit the scoreboard a fair bit. Then moved to half back for a while where he did well, and then recently looks good on the wing. Also would fit into our model of rotating wings/half backs as well. I have been noticing him as a UFA for a while wondering if we would have a nibble so am glad to hear we are interested. Anyone who is a walkup start in our 22 as a UFA is very much worth it.

I just don't think we will land all three is all. It would be a mega off season if we did.

 

[Howe Amazing]

Perryman is quality we need and Battle. I agree Sic forward or at least becomes a swingman

 

[Cannyman]

I always had a weird premonition that we needed Perryman in our team to win a grand final. It's weird. It needs to happen otherwise i might loose my gypsy powers.
