And Dukes 1st bornDodo will ask for our first, future first, and Will Day as steak knives
I believe Noah Bolta is a RFA next year
He is one we could target if we don’t get any key talls this off season
So? Jaeger and Tom were in their early 20s. That's not the point I was making, it's the role they're playing in the team. Adding to an existing core, not trying to replace the core.
I just got back from watching Box Hill and noticed a few things. Harry Morrisonis wasted at VFL level. He will definitely be in the sights of other clubs for next year. If we do pursue Barass then it won't be DGB West Coast will want, it will be Serong. He was terrific today and just going on his form over the last couple of months, he deserves a shot as much as Morrison and Maginness. Scaife is bloody big unit!PLAYERCARDSTART1Harry Morrison

Blank chequebookWell that was 30 minutes of footy that demonstrated why Battle and Barass wouldn’t be the worst pickups in the world.
Battle yes. Barrass would be good but we still need more around the ground to overpay for a 29 year old.Well that was 30 minutes of footy that demonstrated why Battle and Barass wouldn’t be the worst pickups in the world.
It has nothing to do with age profile, premiership experience or whatever else. Adding a defender into a team that needs it is different to trading out first and second in the B&F from a midfield and trading 2 mids in.We were at a completely different stage and age profile when we recruited Jaeger and Tom. The group had tasted success multiple times and Clarko was trying to eke out another flag for our premiership heroes.
Don't think Battle helps much as he's not really holding down a key post, but Barrass definitely.Well that was 30 minutes of footy that demonstrated why Battle and Barass wouldn’t be the worst pickups in the world.

They're clearly built differently though. You wouldn't say Steven May is an undersized defender and he's 192cm.We looked short in that quarter and Battle and Barrass are the same size as Scrimshaw.
Ok this is getting away from my original point being I wouldn't be spending what Eagles want on a stop gap based in our stage of developmentAdding a defender into a team that needs it is different to trading out first and second in the B&F from a midfield and trading 2 mids in.

Two points - eagles aren't going to get what they want, and our stage of development is later than you think. Every year a team spends trying to carefully plan everything is a year better spent trying to win a flag while the competition is this even.Ok this is getting away from my original point being I wouldn't be spending what Eagles want on a stop gap based in our stage of development
Barass is 197cmWe looked short in that quarter and Battle and Barrass are the same size as Scrimshaw.
Barrass is 197...We looked short in that quarter and Battle and Barrass are the same size as Scrimshaw.
AFL app has him listed at 197cm, Google has it at 194cm. Easy mistake to make.Barrass is 197...
Depth.What do we do with Harry Morrison? Clearly too good for VFL but cant get a spot in the seniors. Very much competes with Finn for the 23rd spot.
Because we don't want him.How does Baz not choose hawks right now.
