Never been a huge fan of his but could Caleb Daniel be useful for us. Runs hard and is a neat 30m kick

Think we've got younger, more athletic options who offer similar skillsets and defend better. Kiddy injury stinks but him and motty are locks for the next decade and hopefully we have mckenna for a good period of time as well.

Yep. With all the talk of a mid season trade period, ironically he’d be pretty handy for us this season given the Kiddy injury, but as you say once he’s back he’s probably struggling for a game here too.

Probably going to be an unpopular opinion…. No way Brisbane should pay 1.3 for Mccluggage. Seldom plays a 4 quarter game. Use that cash to fill a positional need I.e a ruck that doesn’t blind handball at every opportunity. Also bank draft capital. Hit up free agency.

I don't think the price for us would be 1.3 mill. Reckon closer to 1.1 with a super long term deal.

The salary cap is going up substantially, 1.3 Million would probably to equivalent to 900K in the old cap.

IMO if we offered him 5 years at 1 Million per season he would take it.

Salary cap aside, even with an increase, he’s an above average player. I wouldn’t be offering more than 900k… absolute Max. Particularly with Ashy mk2 and Marshall coming in, and ashy back off his knee

 

[Nunez]

He'll be given 1m a year/6 years. Worth it. Great leader, player and human being.

I'd be happy if either Ashcroft got to Clugs level

Was going to post similar. We hope they will be, but in reality, it's probably 50/50 at best.

 

[martinson]

I tend to agree.

One thing that some club's don't factor into these LT deals is resilience.

He plays every week . Like Neale he's always out there unless it's impossible.

So even if players like that have an average day they're still a whole lot better that whoever else you would put in.

 

[BRAB]

I’d be absolutely shattered if we lost Hugh. Pay him the million over 6 years please.

 

[buttermuffs]

We should bite the bullet and look to move Cam Rayner on at the end of the year. See if anyone is interested.

Bump?

 

[3KZ is Football]

Bump?

Midfielder gets 25 disposals. Hardly earth shattering. He has to do it week in and week out.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Any rucks available?

I wonder if Henry Smith might be worth giving a go. 18 disposals and 33 hitouts in the last VFL game.

 

[Elixuh]

Hugh is worth it. He is a beautiful person and player and we should be so lucky to see him play for us for the rest of his career.

Its not a risky deal either given how good a human being he is. Not like we're giving bulk coin to someone like Oliver.

The best ability is availability - long understood in American football and clubs pay accordingly.

Every third game Lester has a hardly earth shattering but still good performance and you act like Jesus Christ is resurrected.

Would probably prefer Bailey Dale out of the Kennel.

Rayner is a high impact per possession player, his 20-25 disposal games would be a lot more damaging than a lot of midfielders 30+ possession games.

 

[3KZ is Football]

Only if his dump kicks forward pay off. I have mentioned this in the review thread, but astute observers may have noticed he was playing the Mitch Robinson role last night. I loved that. We have missed Mitch’s intensity at the ground ball contest and his unpredictable hazard ball inside fifty. If Fagan has worked that out and it is a deliberate coaching development, then hats off to him. The next step … consistency.

Just the 6 clearances, 7 inside 50s and 2 goal assists in the first quarter alone, when the game was on the line. He was brilliant. No one will deny he needs more consistency.

He was wasn’t he. The clearance work in the first was outstanding, but I loved the inside 50’s - as I said earlier and elsewhere, he was playing the Mitch Robertson role and it worked!!

 

[acuguy]

We all want to be talking about Rayner being a consistently good player. He had a very impactful game last night and as fans we should expect to see at a minimum 80% of this performance each week. Anyone who gets on the "I told you train" doesn't understand what cost us at the big dance.

I agree acuguy and it was my first comment in the review thread. I don’t mind people razzing me a bit and I was getting tagged into lots of posts, but what you have just said is what I initially said last night when I got home from the game. We need to see that and then some from Rayner on a regular basis.
