TBH I'm more interested in what LDU had to say in that article than anything about barrassDidn’t Barrass sign a new deal last year/year before?
Edit: Not OOC until 2027

Jaxon Binns - The Ladens
just watched a video of his game against the Pies and noticed he got by himself a lot during the game . No doubt in the seniors this wont happen so l would be interested to see how he performs in pressure situations. At 183cm he's not what l would call on the tall side and we do have a few mids around that size. Phillips 181, Lazarro 180, Wardlaw 182, Simpkin 183 and Powell 184. While some may be delisted at seasons end do we really want to got down the same path of recruiting another 180+ midfielder or do we start to look at midfielders around the 188+ mark.Another couple of little whispers I've heard:
- we have been in contact with Jaxon Binns management. His VFL form has been ridiculous as an outside accumulating runner. Has 1 year to run on his current deal with Carlton but is stuck behind Walsh/Hollands/Acres as a wing option.
- we have been keeping an eye on a few fringe GC players. Have had scouts spotted at a few GC VFL games in recent months. Not entirely sure who they are, but I'd assume we'd be looking at fringe players like of Davies, Graham, Budarick Lemmens, Jeffrey, Rosas Jnr, or maybe even Jy Farrar.

BTW l wont be dissapointed if we got him...
Think he'd purely be recreuited for an outside wing role potentially in the event that we lose Scott to Free Agency.
Binns isn't going to be centre square mid at AFL level. I'd say it's running capacity that would be appealing to us. He covers the ground ridiculously well.
Really depends on the type of midfielder you are after because most inside/outside/centre bounce midfilders are around the 180-185/6 mark while the flavour is to find these 188+ midfielders..not many start off as pure centre bounce mids like LDU, Pendles, Newcombe etc.just watched a video of his game against the Pies and noticed he got by himself a lot during the game .

I wonder if he’s a distant relative of that great Indian cricketer from the ‘80’s, Rubbish Binny.Jaxon Binns = The Wheelie
Wait till next year!![]()

Goater has the size, maybe the tank but would he be better as Wing/HB than HB/Mid rotation?
Duursma, Gippy Power tried to play him 70/80% mid and he went into a form slump until he went bak up forward where he's stocks rose again.
Unfortunately for us, that extra 190cm midfielder had his contract torn up this year, his loss is not truely reflected yet.
Forget size altogether, if a player can play, he can play, if he's gettable then we will find out, unless the blues are asking for way overs, it will all play out at the end of the year.just watched a video of his game against the Pies and noticed he got by himself a lot during the game .

So ChairmanZia you've now got Bailey walking out the door, tell me your reasoning for this.Good times ahead, we probably need to address the wing with scott likely leaving.
Over the next 3 drafts, we need to start thinking about getting te right players for some of the positions.
Someone posted that there was a rumour he toured GC facilities after the Swans game in Bailey's thread.So ChairmanZia you've now got Bailey walking out the door, tell me your reasoning for this.![]()
Footy2016 made mention that rumours were going around that he did, let me put it this way, I don't think Bailey is going anywhere and will sign the two year contract to take him to free agency. Everything's under control.Someone posted that there was a rumour he toured GC facilities after the Swans game in Bailey's thread.
ChairmanZia has run with it as being a foregone conclusion that he is gone lol.

Takes more than 4 years for good drafting to have an effect.I am surprised that they haven't finished higher than 13th with all their great drafting in the last 4 years.
