Speculation Chad Warner

[eastfreo75]

Poor St Kilda...

Can you go into the negative?

I thought Richmond were the ones to snub that offer as they wanted pick 14 ?

Richmond also offered Graham more money to get us to up our offer but Graham declined.

From what has been said Graham has been great during preseason but his lack of pace and injury history makes me sceptical he is worth what we paid .

If Yeo misses time due to injury early in the season I wouldn’t be surprised seeing him in your starting centre square midfield. Only behind Harley and Kelly at the moment.

Mini knew what he was doing getting him across.

TBH yeo wasn't going to be a main stay in our midfield much longer.

He had been getting rotated to HBF where he started his career and won his AA awards .

No doubt he is a quality player and will be missed .

Baker may have to put his big boy pants on and step away from his cushy backline role and earn his money putting his body on the line in the guts .

We have a few options to replace yeo .

Kelly, duggan and graham will be the 3 main guys in the middle add Hutchinson our MSD pick last off season looks really good on ball and has the age and size to step in straight away .

Hewett after missing the whole last season with injury should spend some time in there too .

Clay hall will be pushing for games and is a genuine inside mid who has bulked up significantly

Liam Ryan was used as a centre bounce specialist last season with great effect and Petrecelle is a harder body who has also spent the last couple of seasons playing inside mid bursts as well .

And of course Harley if he pulls his finger out and loses that Xmas pudding off his mid section he came back with from break

We are starting to put together a decent set on on ballers add both warners to that and we will have a decent engine room

So Swans have 2 flags going by that ?

Guess we remember this differently. No problem with that.

That’s was always his one deficiency. Saw him fall in his draft year. He landed at the right club (Tigers) to get the most out of his career to date.

I don’t know how much you are paying for him. My gut feeling is, he’ll possibly have a similar career and impact that Jarryd Lyons had for us.

If Graham can be as good as lyons I would be stoked . He looks to me like a poor man's ben keys

Keys is decently fast, and can run all day.

Lyons was good for us at the start. But the game changed with a lot more focus on mids who can run all day, or have burst and power.

I believe we agree on Graham in terms of onfield fit at WC, just have different views on how he plays the game. For me, he's an inside mid, but at the Tigers he was down the pecking order, so he was pushed forward, where he found a role on the fringe of their best 22, because he was a better overall player than the next best small/half forward they had.

Anyway, what your opinion of Chad's new pad in Perth?
