[lyger]

He's not Silk level. Think a Guerra that could play midfield.

Goo that could play midfield would still be an enticing prospect. Very interested.

vibes, and I think he'll kick on to be a massive player at a new club

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Perryman wants to play midfield

Not sure how that would happen with our current midfield depth.

I imagine if we have lured Perryman by offering midfield time then it would also mean that Smith has chosen Geelong.

 

[earthworms]

I assume we want perryman as a good defensive utility? I don't know much about him.

 

[FB19]

and according to another poster he's 4th in total and 6th for average marks

Not sure we should pay up for someone so committed to taking merely average marks…

 

[Flukey!]

Perryman doesnt cost us draft capital, just $$$.
He would be a great get.

 

[Topiary]

I know this is the prevailing sentiment, but they're not like for like. That means we play Sicily, Scrimshaw, Battle & Frost in Defence. Moving Weddle out for another kicker (not runner) could hamper our rebound from Defence.

Who said Weddle is going to moved permanently.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

I'll be honest...why would Perryman come here when he can do this all day?



No chance he's passing up the Sydney fishing for the dump that is Melbourne

 

[Brant]

Who said Weddle is going to moved permanently.

I'd hazard that100% of posters that say "Battle will release Weddle upfield" reckon it'll be permanent.

So them, I guess.

 

[peetoo]

Who said Weddle is going to moved permanently.

Weddle will be our ultimate fix it guy.
Also CJ is back to his best can fill a defensive role too

 

[Topiary]

Sam wants flexibility.

 

[Newmo89]

Flexibility and versatility is the name of the game. Pretty much all of our starting 23 on the weekend can play multiple roles if need be.

Interesting that Perryman and Battle get very similar offers. I would have thought Battle was the bigger need but Sam clearly sees an important role for Perryman.

I wonder if we go into this expecting to get just one of them or if they are seriously pushing to bring in both.

Will the AFL step in to keep Perryman at GWS and create yet another $1m a year player there ?

Crazy to think we still have McCabe to come on as well, before we even make any end of season moves.

Doubtful. He's not going to shift the needle on their list.

 

[flinchfree]

Don't think he shifts ours that much either.

 

[Newmo89]

If he plays as a defender, he is showing that he has the defensive craft one on one to do what is needed. Offers so much flexibility wi5 our back six and midfield as well. Cold be another shrewd acquisition from Mark McKenzie.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Perryman and Battle wouldn't just release Weddle but also Dimma. Love the idea of Hardwick being given license to swing forward and kick some more bags from time to time.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Does he?

 

[Topiary]

Does not need to. Adds to its flexibility. FFOR myself.

 

[extractasam]

Would be very interested to know what role Sam sees Perryman playing. Defensive mid that can release our smaller defensive ball users like Amon, Mitchell?

 

[user33]

Would Perryman and Battle ‘complete’ our backline? Possibly. Would allow Weddle/Hardwick/Amon to move up the ground. Perryman can also play on the wing.

Battle can also play up forward if needed.

Not sure I believe the amount we’ve offered Perryman but I can see why we’d want him.

We might still be one elite midfielder away, this could be McKenzie (looking amazing) or even Smith but I’m still iffy on his kicking, doesn’t really fit the mould of player that Sam likes.

 

[flinchfree]

Does not need to. Adds to its flexibility. FFOR myself.

For 750-800K, doesn't need to move the needle?
Then we can do just as well with players already on the list.
Perryman wouldn't be a top 100 AFL mid, wing, or backman.
Battle is a top 30 backman who can float forward and is an EXCELLENT mark and damned good disposer of the ball.
That's where I'd spend the cash if you want flexibility.
