Lukosius doesn't have the urgency that dimma prefers, doesn't mean he isn't a viable option

Because we're targeting a player that's turning 33 next season
No current season stats available
Why no interest in Jake Stringer or even Taylor Walker?
I know Stringer would slot in easily, Iām not as sure about Walker as a third tall but i think itās worth discussing. No idea what type of deal Stringer wants, $$$$ or what he would cost, but Walker would be free and wouldnāt cost much.
Before anyone shoots down the idea of Stringer, heās a third tall type forward/half forward who averages 1.74 goals a game, over a long career.
Just checked, both are free agents.
Mitch McGovern is more than decent and improves our ball movement more than anyone on our list. Kemp is developing ok not outstanding but ok he got torched by Hogan a few weeks ago in a matchup that really should have been weitering.We are also talking about a List not best 22. You need at least 2 decent KPDs on a List
One's a grub the other is racist.
If we were of a mind to look past that...Walker I'd half-consider cause I think he has enough pride that he'd want to perform. Stringer is a hard no - he's 31 early next season, he's gonna get a 2 or 3 year deal somewhere to ensure he's got a steady paycheck until his expected retirement, and his professionalism will drop from it's already less than stellar level to abominable.

Marchbank was the right option but unfortunately his body is simply not up to it and will be delisted.
Weāve played our best football over the last 2 years when weāve gone with a mobile backline Haynes at no draft pick cost for 2 years on a small contract is definitely an improvement on what we have and allows us time to develop a key defender that I assume we will draft this offseason.

So because the club is "talking" to Haynes, you assume that they've shelved any possible deal for any other KPD? There would be 50+ names on our board at the moment.

Agree but people are making comments we don't need another KPD
Ban-worthy post IMO
I think you need to be a little bit more realistic in a salary cap era about what kind of key defender depth we can afford on our list, Young for example is no better or worse than other teams depth such as Joyce, Keath, Tomlinson, Francis, Frampton unfortunately injuries have hurt our side more than most and weāve had to play our depth.Maybe but has nothing to do with my comments about improving our "List"
Yeah thatās fair but letās stay well away from him. Iām not sure I can handle seeing him in a Carlton jumper. Same for walker.On what grounds is suggesting a forward who has kicked over 360 goals would be a good fit, be ban worthy.
Im more than happy to listen to others views, but heās a grub because he cheated on his partner 10 years ago and has crap Tatts doesnt make some one un recruitable.
For what its worth, i dont like him.
But i want players who will contribute to a flag.
I donāt think Jsos is fast enough or big enough. Heād have the IQ.So we can make a 2nd tall KPD out of
Jsos ?
Young? can we make a player out of him? get some one on one training for him?
Yeah thatās fair but letās stay well away from him. Iām not sure I can handle seeing him in a Carlton jumper. Same for walker.
But thatās just speculation, what is there to come to that conclusion other than the fact you dislike someone?
Stringer has kicked 38 goals this year from 20 games, his performance across his career has been super consistent. Thereās nothing to suggest he will drop off at all.
Iāve been around. Hyphen is much loved. **** I just canāt imagine how those two can be even be considered a comparison.No idea of your age but id like to get peoples thoughts on how they felt when we signed Rhys-Jones? My mates dad used to talk about how he hated him at the Swans but guess what, loved him when he came across.
Gee I really hope soNot sure

I still don't understand why we're not targeting Harry Edwards. 200cm key defender and only 23 years old also out of contract.
Hope we are. If we're going to delist Marchbank and Durdin we need a KPD.Who says weāre not? I read an article the other day (I forget where) and it said heās being quite heavily chased and could be the key to unlocking the dominos of trade period this year. We would be negligent if we werenāt sounding him out.
