Not sure if posted. But the latest on Battle. 7 years is a bit much isn't it?

Peter Ladhams seems gettable. Not a bad Campbell replacement.
Agreed.... ....

Just about the last players we need. Not the right age bracket, plays a position we already have 2 elite players and would cost far to much.
We need to focus on genuine mids and the draft,

Different types of defenders but at his best, he'd be the better player.
Also has some moderate goal kicking form. We could do worse, and as someone else said earlier, we seem to get deals done amicably with Sydney.
Sincs is a HBF I think they know that now
Apparently Houston thinks he’s a mid but can’t get a go at Port
No from me don’t need part time mids we need quality
Pretty sure the teams and Sinclair's improvement in the 2nd half of the season were related to pushing Sinclair back to the HBF.
Considering the capital we'd need to spend to get him, I'm a pass on Houston.
I can't believe he's nowhere to be seen in the Rising Star calculations. A consistent high performer who played every game. Valuable at both ends of the ground. Not just racking up easy possessions across half back. Almost as big a slight as Marshall missing AA.....almost.

Agreed. Every chance Houston is like Sincs - good for a short burst in the mid but average when playing there full time. And if that was the case, we'd have paid a ransom for a Bonner upgrade.
No thanks. Especially at his age.
Good call. He could see more opportunity to play alongside Marshall compared to Grundy since Ro is actually useful spending a chunk of the game up forward too.
Also, sign Battle up on 850k a year over 6 years, heavily front loaded over the first two seasons. Give him a trigger for a 7th if he plays 15 games in the 6th

Yeah mate the only issue is we don’t have a Patrick Dangerfield or a tax payer funded uneven oval home ground

How's Ross' relationship with Sean Darcy
I'm not opposed to Houston given the obvious talent. The only reason you'd do it is if you were trying to push NWN further afield to utilize his kicking.
I'd be happy with an offseason of Pick 7 (mid), Houston, Peatling & latter picks in (if Battle were to depart and we were to use his comp as part of the trade)

Crouch has a contract for next season. He'll need to retire (entirely his own decision) to get that spot opened up.
Paton and Hayes are the watches for me. Paton in a world of trouble I would think.
Further , we probably need to pay him for the year, inclusive in the cap, if he does retire.

Peter Ladhams to backfill for Tom Campbell?

Both Jones and Howard have been coached this year to play within their capabilities - and its benefited both them and the team in general.
Howard is now not attempting to take on every other player, he is just not a candy seller, no longer has brain fades and isn't taking every single kick in the way he used to.
Jones has also tried not to take on/outrun every tackler, concentrated on the skills he does have and is taking a little more time to consider the best option, rather than just drop the ball onto his boot in hope. His defensive play has improved too.
I put that all down to coaching.

Here's hoping Battle does a backflip and stays at the club.
