Why TDK's alleged, and seemingly sudden, interest in moving north seemed odd in isolation.

But if SDK is considering it too.....well, it makes some sort of sense all of a sudden.

Similarly, SDK's alleged consideration of a move doesn't make any sense without TDK's rumour.

But only rumours atm!

No Harley Reid connection?

No Harley Reid connection?

No idea

 

[Gee Class Loco]

The two rumours make better sense together, whereas you consider one without the other and it makes less sense.

But only rumours at this point it must be said.

Spot On. Maybe the folks and some of the family have settled up there??? Maybe has something to do with options that have opened up.

Here’s 2 others I heard.
SDK has plenty of suitors from up north and the club is seriously listening.
We are balls deep in a few WA blokes.
With a left footed bloke within our grasp. Maybe just maybe .

Why speak in riddles man

What's SDK worth?

Is the left footer within our grasp from WA?

Which forward are we scouting at tonights game?

I agree on the need to pick up a mature back up ruck in the off season (along with a power mid, raw key forward and small defender - I'll write a deeper analysis on this after our season is done).

My understanding is that Stanley had to be convinced to play on in 2024, so I'm assuming he's not lacing them up for another one. And while I'd love to see Conway own the ruck position in 2025, I'm not sure that he or his body are quite there yet.

And if Stanley is gone and Conway is out, we have very little left. Neale should stay forward, SDK should stay back, and Blicavs can pinch hit for a few minutes to give the #1 ruck a break but we're in trouble if we need him to ruck for whole games. Furphy and Edwards are a long way off. So I think we need a Soldo or Preuss type, someone who is not getting a regular game where they are now but could come over and play anywhere from 5-12 games in the ruck and hold his own.

Maybe rather than raiding someone else's list, we should look at the state leagues for a mature-bodied ruckman looking for an opportunity. I didn't see much of the game but by all accounts Brayden Crossley from Southport carved up our VFL side last week - he's a 25yo ex-AFL ruckman with a big body who might be worth a look IMO.

Agree with all that.

Crossley wont get looked at thanks to the drug issues and his mum but i agree we should look for a state league type ruck.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Aren't they both from the Mornington Peninsula?

Essentially yes.

He’s a real long shot.
Looking at a 7-8-9 year deal that we’re not entertaining for anyone these days except we did dangle something close to it for the Torquay boy CC. Will Cadman demand it for a move to the Bellarine?? Who knows where these huge contracts are heading. I am surprised the AFL haven’t put a limit on it. Nearly killed teams and in turn the league in the NHL in the states

Is the left footer within our grasp from WA?

He was pretty bullish and I was just hoping.

Forward scout just means scouting the opposition before you play them

 

[Gee Class Loco]

Nope

O’Driscoll? Think I heard something about Carlton being into him

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Keeping

 

[Gee Class Loco]

Daniher! Joey is a nightmare… for his own team and the opposition. Which one will turn up next week?

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Nope

Thank god.

 

[Gee Class Loco]

I think we are too..

 

[CatToTheFuture]

I have been thinking on it and coming up with nothing

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Wasn't he Lawson's team mate?

 

[Pure_Ownage]

They are just preparing for the prelim.

 

[Johanpetro]

I think we are too..

Burst onto the scene in his first dozen or so games. Looked liked he was gonna be real good. Dropped off a bit since but I’d take him
