Player Watch Brandon Zerk-Thatcher

[Enviable Tradition]

Bomber supporter here.

I'd imagine Duursma might be the likely choice, but is Josh Sinn even an option? From what I know he's had a bit of an injury plagued career but feel he'd still be considered a required player for you guys. I think he'd be overs in other words but I'm happy to defer to you guys.

Wish Zerk the best and hope he gets to you.

We'd be mad to trade Sinn at his lowest value.

Would only happen if we got a big offer based on his potential IMO.

At least we are looking to bolster defence in this off-season. But his name is going to trigger me. I keep thinking it is some medieval trade. "I'm joining the Royal Guild of Zerk Thatchers"

When are we going to question why players are quick to nominate us?
Would it be they know laziness is ok & you won’t be given shit for poor form?

 

[Powerade 08]

I have no problem with aiming higher but reality needs to be considered as well. I think it is a fair question.

McKay FA, McGovern FA, Barrass. These guys rarely get to play in a win.

Then theres Freo with 3 similar key defenders in the starting 22, Cox from SA. Ballard from SA, at Gold Coast, think his sister is with our AFLW team.

Thats just the bottom teams. It can't be that hard to shake someone loose.

yes to ballard, but hes not going anywhere with hardwick coming in

no to cox, hes rubbish

 

[philthy05]

I don’t see why we would be paying a second rounder for a bloke barely established as a mediocre key defender.

should be all that’s required to obtain both esava and zerk.


We know it’s all port would get offered the other way. Probably less.

If we deal any of next years picks were soft *****.

 

[morell]

I agree. But I also agree with philthy05 that Hinkley will fail to maintain the three tall line up when things go sideways.

I'm still hoping for the Ratten treatment for Hinkley

We went after McKay.
Barrass decided to stay a part of the West Coast furniture.
McGovern is old.

I like Ballard but he will not leave an up and coming team and Damien Hardwick.
Cox I like but he is out of contract next year.

Both Esava and BZT fit our age profile and you never know if they turn i to the next Aliir. They both want to play at Port which is usually a good thing but might not be.

I would love Sam Taylor but Horne-Francis types don't ask to be traded every year to Ports.

Very very strong ties with SA. Isn't that right LP7_

 

[OneGreatClub]

Look, B. Zerk is a great interceptor and is very confident and skilled at that. If you use him in that role he will do just fine. He is a dud key defender though. He cannot play on the big boys, and honestly I'm glad he's gone. As much as I love him, Hogan kicked 9 on him, Hawkins kicked 8 and Daniher kicked 6. He is a liability in that regard and its fair enough, he's 91 kg and 195cm. Absolutely love the guy and he has great character and insane courage, but for us I'm of the opinion he's a list clogger, until we have someone who can take the big boys. We're not winning a final if he's our #1 Key back. May be different for you with Aliir and Esava though but for us no.

What do you reckon gets it done?

From your comments I am thinking a sixth rounder should get it done

Would it be they know laziness is ok & you won’t be given s**t for poor form?

I'd much rather not hear about blokes nominating us during a finals campaign tbh let alone old mate meeting with Grundy.

 

[Jonts]

Trading a young KPF that just kicked 4 in a final would be too ridiculous for words.

Toby thurstans?

Lowest value so far

Could be DFA this time next year
Maybe not but its in realms of outcomes

He's got strong Nathan Freeman vibes about him for sure

 

[TeeKray]

Weren't Essendon keen on Sinn? Straight swap.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Can he actually defend 1:1? Or is he one of those guys that okay loose and we pretend he can defend because he's in the backline

 

[Chrizzt]

He's not too dissimilar to Aliir - strength is intercepting, but can shutdown a forward by winning intercepts rather than close checking and spoiling. He's not as bad as people are making out here

 

[FutureShock]

I think both he and Esava are B-graders who won't do much to improve our B-grade side, but we have to do something to boost our inadequate backline stocks and there's not much available. Would have liked us to aim a bit higher if it was at all possible - didn't hear anything about trading in defenders aside from these two. Anyway, just have to hope they've got a fair bit of improvement in them.

 

[Grave Danger]

And I was keen on Hobbs in that draft - sliding doors...sort of

Whenever I read his name I think of this

 

[hammo24]

It’s always Essendon

have we ever had a player wanting to go there? I almost feel bad at this point

 

[Peninsula Boy]

If we get BZT, will he be the 3rd tall at 195cm because that would be good.

 

[Lightning_Rod]

Weren't Essendon keen on Sinn? Straight swap.

I think I'd prefer to hold sinn, especially if duursma is going.
