Where’s old mate on here that reckons we shouldn’t get him? Gets in space, never wastes disposals, great character, wouldn’t cost us as much as others. Would be perfect
So uhh, did we jump the gun with using those picks on Goad, Hardeman and Dawson last year?
If you don’t have physicality and aren’t a real competitor then you shouldn’t even be on our radar
We're trying, think we will be getting a couple of players with experience and leadership, lets see what the cards unfold.We really need to give up some decent draft capital up and bring in some proper leadership if it's available. No point having young talent if all the know is losing. Even taking into account Tassie coming in.
Dawson and Hardeman have both shown glimpses they have a future, the Unicorn however..So uhh, did we jump the gun with using those picks on Goad, Hardeman and Dawson last year?
Caleb Daniel tooI’ll say it again Jack Macrea would be better than 3/4 of our list.
Remember when our current ruckman didn't have future??Dawson and Hardeman have both shown glimpses they have a future, the Unicorn however..
Yep we are trying Scout Its like every year we try sometimes you get lucky other times you don't. Its not like we just sit back and not bother about looking for other players to bring in As supporters we may not even hear about some of the names we looked into. You have been very confident for quite some time we will go alright this trade period there is no reason for us to doubt you. Good work as always Scout.We're trying, think we will be getting a couple of players with experience and leadership, lets see what the cards unfold.
Agree.Remember when our current ruckman didn't have future??
As they say, big men take time.
Don’t care who they are, but if they’re not Elite by hand and foot, then I don’t want them, shite skills is the No. 1 thing holding us back, in my opinion.I’ll add if you can’t use the football to a reasonably good level then you can FRO as well.
I think the problem is that beggars can’t be choosers. And we have begged quite a bit.I’ll add if you can’t use the football to a reasonably good level then you can FRO as well.
Giving Goad just 3 years?Agree.
Way too early to make any sort of call on Goad. 2 more years and then we'll see.
Yeah nah, have to disagree with that, good youngsters have the mindset that they can help, a positive mind and if you get a few can slowly change a struggling club, other things are added to this of course like class but you get the general idea. Players might not want to leave their state, players might want to get drafted by the team they have supported all their life, but very few players care about going to "the worst club in five years", all they care about is getting drafted, trust me that is their first priority and then at some stage playing seniors and doing their best to help the club that showed faith in drafting them.No campaigner wants to play for the worst club of the last five years

You might’ve said Xerri doesn’t have a future, I certainly didn’t..Remember when our current ruckman didn't have future??

Nah I didn't.You might’ve said Xerri doesn’t have a future, I certainly didn’t..
I don't know about that. I understand where your coming from but with the players that are currently at our club after what we have gone through, I'm pretty certain they are striving to get the best out of themselves and want to win more games, people have to understand the words patience & timing.One wonders if signing so many (not counting Harry) to long term deals means a lot of these guys are a bit more comfortable with their mediocrity knowing no matter what happens they are safe
