I am having dreams about Perryman being a Jordan Dawson-like success story. Am I crazy? Is it possible?

Chill out Dave, Membrey signing is just a formality at this point, you don’t need to correct people on this.
Membrey is such a good pickup, we no longer have to risk being compromised structurally whenever someone like checkers or mcstay are out injured, or even Elliot for that matter. He can push up the field like checkers and is strong enough to be a marking target up fwd like mcstay .

Yeah, I think he was also linked to St K at one point.

Can Essendon & Carlton miss the finals next year?Yes.
You can take that as an answer to whichever question you like!
Geelong? Hawthorn?
Keen to see what people think about this.
Say we win the premiership next year and few of our older brigade decide it's time to hang up, say : Pendles/sidebottom ( or both) , cox, Elliot, Howe .
We then land LDU in free agency.
Now do we :
a) be satisfied with 2 in 3 and a undergo a quick rebuild on the fly ( by trading someone like JDG to get a tom barrass like haul )knowing that we may potentially lose WHE, Mitchell,checkers and potentially crisp the year after. Keeping in mind, in this scenario the addition of LDU would offset the loss of JDG.Then really hitting the draft hard to bring in a whole new wave of young talent , with the view of prioritizing their development in the following few years.
b) try to top up on senior players by trading in experienced players cheaply ( we offer to take majority of their salary and pay a lower draft capital in return) and maintain our ability to seriously compete for 2-3 years after next year's premiership . That way we maximize on the remaining prime years of the players who are currently in the 26-29 age bracket. The downside being, we risk being in a rebuild mode by the time Naicos turns 25 .
