It's an option, although I am worried as to why he was delisted after only 2 years, especially with Gehrig and Hamill retiring.
No point filling our forward line with 2nd rate players.....bailey has thrown his support behind miller. Go back and have a look at the early rounds of 05 when brad miller was killing it....if dean bailey can get his confidence back then our CHF problem will be solved. He needs to get back to the fitness and confidence levels which saw him leading and marking up to the wing...like what chris tarrent was very good at doing....then bombing it long or hitting a tartget within goal kicking distance. Ferguc Watts can head back to collegians and play there.....about his standard.

Broke his leg at the start of 2006 but was never given much of a shot. Also i think Brad Miller will be used as a backman leaving Bate to be a Travis Cloke like lead up forward and then Newton as the main man. If we can pick up Watts in the pre-season draft for free then surely its an option... We need three talls in our forward line and unless Paul Johnson improves massively then we are looking for someone to go with Bate and Newton.

I'd be much more interested in Tenace if he goes into it.

I say yes. Would be a good replacement for Neita, just not as good.

Tenace has the pace we need and if we can improve his kicking we'll a handy midfielder on our hands. If we can't then we can delist him in a year or two and won't have lost anything as I doubt there will be anything much better at #3 in the PSD.

I would prefer Tenace over Watts but I don't think he'll be delisted. The only real reason he's so popular though is because of his pace. But that is just what we need.

Or try Ben Cousins, just needs a change of scenery

According to The Age, Melbourne are after Tenace, but Geelong want to hold on to him. Won't take too much convincing for him to realise he'll play more senior footy with us.

Nick Smith board. He's a nice mark but too slow get to the ball. Looks a bit like a poor mans Leigh Brown.

Certainly is tempting isn't it?
Gee, you're optimistic. A change of scenery (U.S rehab) certainly didn't help, how would Melbourne where drugs are of essence help? Don't want him anywhere near our club, his middle name is trouble.

There are many I would look at before him. Hopefully Brennan can kick things off by going to Richmond so there's only 1 more pick before us.

hmmm would still want watts though... if guys like wheatley warrant a spot on the list then surely he does. He is tall and can jump

Ignorant comment about Wheatley. He may not be the best player on the list but he showed in the second half of the season that he is more than worthy of a spot on our list.

Thats what i dont get and its not like he hadnt been performing at VFL... he kicked 7 in the last game someone was saying.
And as for Wheatley i mean really.... he is only good for supergoals outside 50 in the nab cup. he is a fringe player at his absolute best.

I like the look of Vogels to be honest. Watts, meh - it was just a trumped up f**k you to SA when the Saints took him.

Wheatley actually became a damaging winger when given some more freedom. He's a terrible key defender and we all know that.
