James Jordan a big chance to start sub for two different clubs in a Grand Final. Parker and Mills would both want to squeeze past him.Will be interesting to see what the Swans do when Luke Parker is available again.
There's a distinct possibility that Tay could be the first player in history to play all year at one club only to tragically miss the GF, then moves to another club the next year only for the same scenario to play out. That would suck!
I still think a backline of Frampton, Howe and Moore is elite. Add in Maynard, Quaynor and any of Noble, WHE, Markov and we are hard to score against.This is the guts of it, but my point is more to suggest that if he wants us it’ll happen.
I’m not to fussed re McGuane again if we don’t have the picks we’ll find them. LDU is next year as a FA or we don’t get him so from my perspective largely irrelevant to a trade collateral discussion.
I probably lean toward an established KPD myself like Barrass, but I’m under no illusion that it presents the same “issues” as Smith. For all the amazing work we’ve done behind the ball since 2022 we remain susceptible to teams with tall forwards when it’s not coming in on our terms. Barrass or someone like him wouldn’t necessarily solve that issue, but would make life much easier, IMO.
We have hardly played that mix together because of injury. Hoping Howe has another season or two in him. I’d love to see that combination get a good run of playing together.
