Wow turns out I only need two highlights

 

[Call Me Cake]

Tippa today:

 

[Snake Charmer]

Hill and Stengle in would make me very happy

 

[eth-dog]

If we do get Hill then I hope we don't get Stengle. One is enough, two is overkill.

Clarke gone.

[Atavistic]

Could Hill be our Shai Bolton?

Bolton is actually good, so probably not.

 

[The Donners]

Could Hill be our Shai Bolton?

Wouldn’t that be nice!

 

[Cobbler]

Pick 11 for Lobb? 29 before round 1. Likely to be a big risk from GWS. Lobb may only have 30-40 good games left.

When you say 30-40 ‘good games’ I can only assume you think he’s playing 150 more?

 

[Snake Charmer]

If we do get Hill then I hope we don't get Stengle. One is enough, two is overkill.

Clarke gone.

Why? We have one decent goal kicking small forward who goes missing more often then not. Stengle and Hill are ready to go players who offer good help in that department. Hill has plenty of room to develop aswell. 3 genuine small forwards on a list isn’t overkill

There are much larger areas of concern than small forwards, and we have two father son players next year who fit the bill.

...and here's a bit more background on the machinations of this.

Edit: GWS might still do business with North or Hawthorn for Hill instead.

McCartney will be desperate to trade him to anyone but us, even for a lesser price. He is one of the most petulent operators in the industry

I'd forgotten that Brasher called him out and compared him to a child.

 

[eth-dog]

Giants fans have gone from some of the best groups on the site to one of the worst.

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

Giants fans have gone from some of the best groups on the site to one of the worst.

They've always been incredibly prickly when it comes to players leaving. I remember when the Shiel thread was first posted in June of 2018, the first few pages were giants fans frothing at the mouth that the BIASED VICTORIAN AFL MEEDYA were attempting to pry one of their young stars from the team against his will.

 

[Bjchan13]

Would absolutely love North or Hawthorne to jump in here so we can walk away.

 

[Foxx]

Apologies if anything I said was ignorant or offensive to indigenous Australians.

It sounded off, but its not much different to most comments that highlight indigenous. To be truly impartial then there is no difference to note.

 

[eth-dog]

Would absolutely love North or Hawthorne to jump in here so we can walk away.

He wants us. It's happening

 

[andleanback]

Would absolutely love North or Hawthorne to jump in here so we can walk away.

Why? He’s exactly what we need.

 

[Bjchan13]

Dont mind the addition at all. Its the price that i think it would have to be to make it happen.

 

[Snake Charmer]

There are much larger areas of concern than small forwards, and we have two father son players next year who fit the bill.

It’s still an area of the list we have no depth in at all. The price of Hill would sway my mind if it’s a future 3rd (assuming hes getting 3 years) and Stengle would be on a 1 year deal. So he could be off the list this time next year. How good are the Davey twins? Do they help immediately or are they 2 we will be developing over the next 2-3 year’s? Tippa will be 29 next year so I think it’s an area we probably need to look into.

 

[Bjchan13]

Probably right. Think Mahoney might have to do most of the talking on this one due to McCartney

 

[MNC Bomber]

Here's my question, at the Davey twins small forwards? From what I have seen ( very limited ) may be not. Where do they fit in??

On SM-G998B using BigFooty.com mobile app

I think you're wrong. And there's no way our F2 isn't part of the Hill deal.

Davey twins are good. Very good.

Walla's run without injuries makes his age irrelevant. He can easily play to 33 if that continues.
