happily swap murphy for kennedy
kennedy wonr get a game but at least murphy wont either. well he can at the blues thats fine.
Versatile, good clearance winner in the middle, wins the ball (unlike Berry). Carlton supporters seem to like him in general, too. I wouldn't be against him
Richmond or Collingwood I reckon.
Yeah I can see it. Both need depth

Killing with a smile
Decent player but we probably should just keep investing games into Dowling instead.
His biggest issue is he's a similar type to what they've got.
I wouldn't be against him if it were as a depth option and for a throwaway pick, but doubt he'd move for that.
I'd rather see Dowling, Edwards and Pick 4 get some games in there instead
Probably the best idea, hopefully he can go past Berry in the selection pecking order next year (IMO he's very close already), looks like he can end up a big game player
I don't think we have too many pure clearance winners in our mid rotation, at the moment. Reckon you need at least two quality players that are clearance-winners as part of a five-man midfield rotation
Who that is is another question altogether
The only possible explanation
Sounds like the sort of arrangement that would cost a club like us a gazillion draft picks in sanctions...
you're right thats collusion

I don’t think we need more role players in our midfield. It’s why I was meh on retaining Berry. People confuse our midfield quality issue with a quantity issue. We actually have decent midfield depth, just need a couple guns (one if Izak becomes full time) to lead the way.
I get it, which is why he wouldn’t be a priority get for me at all, but he’d be an upgrade on Berry and someone who could be effective for us IMO
But yeah, some elite mids is the real need

Are folks arguing we could have gotten Bowes?
He was never interested in us at all. Wasn't even remotely on the table.

Did you watch Show Me The Money on Stan?
It's covered in detail on there. Essendon and Hawthorn were the other two clubs in the mix, and Brisbane if he wanted to stay in Qld.
Same as vast majority of VIC lads returning from an interstate team, they don’t want to come to ADL and I can’t ever remember ANY VIC player who was first round, let alone elite, joining an SA team after an initial 2-4 year contract. That’s with 50+ collective years of history with Port Power. The fast is it’s a massive structural disadvantage that can’t be overcome with non SA players not wanting to move to ADL
Someone who used to work at Geelong?
Tom Lynch?
Drafted from Sandringham Dragons with pick #13. Played 3 seasons with St Kilda. Agreed to be traded to Adelaide, and played there for the next 10 years.
He was stuck behind Reiwoldt and Kosi in his time at St Kilda, which is why he wanted out - for greater opportunities.
It happens very rarely as you suggested. Lynch wasn't elite when he came to us in 2011....
Agreed - but that wasn't the primary criteria 119others specified:
VIC player - check
First round - check
Joining an SA team after an initial 2-4 year contract - check
"let alone elite" suggests that this was a secondary criteria. It's the only one Lynch fails to meet.
