Didnt the Essendon supporters warn us about Monfries, now that he has his "Gold Card" just do nothing, i must admit he is very good at that.

We should target Tyson Goldsack.
What's everyone's thoughts of playing Hombsch at CHF I love the way he hits packs and takes contested marks, I reckon he could become a handy link up forward. Jake Carlisle, Ben Reid, Harry Taylor, James Frawley, Daniel Merrett, are all examples of handy defenders becoming formidable forwards why don't we just take a punt

Trengove our only back who is competent up forward, both Carlile and Hombsch have been tried forward with no success

Nah no point attempting to fix/change what isn't broken & mess with a very good young defender.
It depends on if one of our backs gets traded to bring in a forward it may be something we could try with Clurey but by that time one of Harvey or Shaw would've likely come on.
Really only that one disastrous game...
I have never seen Hombsch play for us up forward. Only saw him play a quarter up forward for sturt last year
We can still play Carlile, Trengrove, Jonas, Oshea in defence. What do we have to lose

With our gameplan, why would any kpf want to come and play for us?
Haha I guess the KPF could sneak into that empty forward 50 and hope someone bombs it in
Why would any key forward want to waste their careers playing for GWS' reserves side knowing they're no hope of ever getting a game ahead of Cameron, Patton & Boyd?
Playing finals footy for us would be an attractive option for a lot of talls that aren't getting an opportunity.

When have we ever seen Hombsch up forward? If he ever did play there it would have been only for a limited amount of time. Not saying that he is the answer, but definitely can't suggest that it resulted in no success

Hombsch played there for a half or so against Essendon last year and from where I was sitting, he looked lost down there.
Should be no problem with Hombsch having a pinch hit up forward during a game, he has a nice leap & can take a big grab.
Westhoff can look lost down there for a half at times too lol

Rhys Stanley was pretty quick for a big fella
Hombsch is fast becoming the new Pettigrew...

No. Hombsch knows how to defend and isn't a bomb scare liability.

Westhoff looked lost everywhere from 2008-12.

Played forward against Essendon last year and was horrendous. Obviously not his fault, but he had no idea what he was doing.
