When the ink is dry.. he's already been left out of one deal for us with White

 

[MyManLynch]

I think Hine & co are keen, so expect them to sign him up soon (unless some other delisted player catches their attention).

 

[Jonno94]

Please no.

 

[MyManLynch]

Please no.

I actually do not have a strong opinion on this, I have not watched or followed him, however Hine seems keen, so I will play blind monkey & get on board if he is signed.

 

[TradeDraft]

Please no.

Well get use to it

Hope he likes playing for peanuts.

Club was probably keeping their options open knowing the delisted FA course was open to them. Why commit to him if another better option opens up in trade period?

You would think he be on Minimum Wage as a De-Listed Free Agent

 

[MyManLynch]

Could be like the F1 drivers & may have to bring a sponsorship package with him to get a gig.

 

[Jonno94]

Well get use to it

We were a powerhouse not long ago and now we are signing delisted spuds? I'm never going to get use to it.

We were a powerhouse not long ago and now we are signing delisted spuds? I'm never going to get use to it.

We became a powerhouse by signing a spud named Leigh Brown who was never gonna get us close to a flag according to BF experts.. 2 years later he was the new prototype for that forward/ruck role and had a premiership medallion

You need worker bees as well.. can't be all cream

 

[legendstatus]

Have to admit not see much of him nor do I really remember what type of player he .. But hey must be better than Russell?

He's not terrible, neat little kick



Think it's only the first minute and a half

 

[iGNITER]

Who is a better prospect.. Tambling or Armstrong?

 

[Nicco_jj]

We should get Dalziel!

 

[Shade]

Lets just cross our fingers nobody goes down wit injury so this bloke never gets a game.

Simon Buckley, Jordan Russell now Armstrong. We seem to following a similar pattern of picking up mid aged defenders who weren't up to scratch at their old clubs and hoping that they can turn it all around. I hope we are not giving him a 2 year deal like we did with others. But the strange thing is they still get games with us right before we delist them...

 

[SpongePie]

I guess with Russell gone we need a new whipping boy...

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Free swing. I'm not opposed to using one spot on a recycled player Hine rates. If he can run and carry then thats a bonus because we have lost a bit there with our departures Shaw and Thomas ....plus Russell who was SUPPOSED to be that type as well. Its probably bad news for Yagmoor that the club deems it neccessary to bolster the defence with a similar player to himself though.

I dont know much about Armstrong though so am prepared to back Hine in. If we can pick up a gem a la Leigh Brown then thats a massive bonus. If not hes costing us nothing in what allegedly is a shallow draft and gives us an easy delisting for next years strong draft.
