I don't think his role that he excelled in last year (intercept/rebounding defender) is the type of player we splurge on in free agency.

Great player, but haven’t we drafted to cover the athletic back? Plus Finlayson has occasionally played down back. And up forward, Port has quality alternatives.
If Port are going to target a FA, I would hope it’s McKay. He is the best available, ready to go now and if he ended up at Port, could you imagine the North supporters? I do think he will re-sign with Norths though, but we also said JHF wouldn’t come home in 2022….
Defensive defenders seem to be on the way out. Afl seems to be about athletic defenders rebounding. More goals seem to come from turnovers rather than good play?
The dream free agent from that list is clearly Mark Blicavs. CHB for the next 4 years, with flexibility to play wing, mid and ruck if required.

Mark Blicavs would be 36 years old by the time he'd played CHB for us 'for the next 4 years'.
Nah bruv, he got drafted at the end of 2011 he's at most 29 now since no obviously no one above 18 gets drafted. so that terrible piece of assumption means he'd be 34 playing for the next 4 years.
Blivaca turns 32 in March?
Blitz halves will still get games next year wouldn't he.
Did hear that he was very homesick throughout the year. Likes rhe saints its just not in SA
I guess Ross Lyon is the new variable too
For his sake, I hope he isn't too budding.
Oh shit, i thought he was like 28.
Would still be a good get, but maybe for 2, not 4 haha.

Anyone know how Tredrea's lad is tracking in junior footy at the moment?

Lol as soon as any aging dude leaves geelong watch them become a brittle husk.
Is Lade jnr playing under age rep footy? I think Francou jnr was a bottom-ager for SA this year.
Ken will recruit him as a jockey for the horse squad.

I would not get excited about 2023 being a year for father sons
Oliver only played a couple of games (under 16’s) last year for something like less than 9d a game (off the top of my head)
Without watching him that says to me he’s miles away from being considered.
Lade is coaching at saints or somewhere isn’t he? It went elsewhere? So kid would be playing junior footy in vic I guess but I’ve never heard of him and a quick google search shows nothing.
It looks like we will have to wait for 2024, where rome and Louie are showing very good signs.
Moved to the Dogs for next year iirc.
My lad played against him last season (U/12's)... He's very good.
Does it look like we may actually get a F/S that is at least as tall as the father? In general today's boys have 2 - 3 inches on their fathers heights. Except for every Port F/S
