Know what you mean, but think about the age, experience and list quality. Would you rather Shaw or Horlin-Smith?

Good luck with that going by your avatar.
Anyone thats ever played a football manager sim knows you have to build the squad slow....gradually lifting the quality..it can't be done fast except by using cheats
so yes ...list upgrades may be not exacly what we want but there it is...bit by bit....then whoosh...Flag 17 beckons

A free rookie or ?
Will depend on cost. If we are getting these guys in for little and getting rid of the recent bit players, then fine.

Kind of have the same feeling TBH. Deck chairs comes to mind with some of the names being mentioned.

Lloyd is the only one I have real interest in of those names. I feel a bit Meh! when I see Wallis or Dahl, GHS etc mentioned. Im not sure they move the needle at all for us. Id rather just keep playing Dow, O'Brien, SPS, Kennedy etc.
True.........but the other 2 arseholes made careers out of bashing players from behind.........It`s just that Milburn did it to royalty and was in the cross hairs for the rest of the day...........I was there and I remember Justin Murphy (who was a Geelong player then) just looking at Milburn and shaking his head as if to say "you just killed bamby" you idiot, and good luck getting out of the ground alive...........Don't forget Milburn.

I've got no idea if GHS will happen but i would see him as an upgrade on some of our fringe players.

They’ve worked hard getting him on the field. I don’t have the ability to say much more.
Do you mean the 3 other clubs? Sorry don't have that info.

I haven’t been misinformed mate. I actually know the fitness team there....
I also didn’t say anything about his groin... if you don’t like the news cool. Nothing is determined and I clarified that it may just be recurring and he could get over it. They aren’t confident, but have by no means given up. I’m not saying anymore on it
We are the bottom team by 2 games...need to be realistic about how difficult it would be to bring in quality mature players in an age where players can nominate where they play.
Biggs and GHS aren't very exciting, but both have produced high quality AFL games in the past...i certainly wouldn't be upset about bringing them in essentially for free or token late picks.
GHS would come cheap & would immediately be part of our midfield rotation, gradually being overtaken by our younger brigade.Mullett- homer

But he DID get out without a major injury. The day we lost our proverbial festivals.

Werd!
Just like Darcy lang had played some ok games?
Playing 2 good games as part of a great team shouldn't be our standard
OK so suggest an alternative if the good mature players knock us back? Just draft more 18 year olds who aren't even that good?
And i'm pretty confident Darcy Lang will be a player...like many of our players this year has battled injures and fitness.
Not interested in more deckchairs mate , they add nothing.
Do our best to bring in quality or keep plundering the draft.
The list will mature in time and the kids will have earnt their stripes and be ready to exact their/our revenge.
Understand and partly agree with your stance Red Bull but i think some of this discussion is about improving the 20-45 player list quality.
We all want top tier players but shuffle the deckchairs? Hell yes because quite often they can make the difference in tight games.

In regards to Dahlhaus, any ankle injury is going to be troublesome for at least 12 months. Fortunately, his ankle injury is in the top part of his ankle and he might have a better recovery track than Daisy did. But... I still wouldn't want to take the risk of putting him on decent coin for the next 2 years only for him to play 10 games a year. God knows we wasted enough money on that witches hat Warnock over 6 years.
