His mail is on the money

Thanks Mr Edmund - not sure why we would give up JUH….but we are stocked with KPFs

 

[grassman75]

King cant even stay on the park and when he does he can’t kick straight from 15 meters out

Neither can JUH….kick straight I mean

 

[Doggy]

Again Freijah has all the characteristics needed just need to actual do it like we did with Richards,

Harmes had a poor final but had a good block before injury as did West and Garcia

Garcia could potentially leave.

He's another that would be good to sign because he has some good characteristics and is the right age bracket. West is more of a forward now with a possible few stints in the midfield.

Harmes turns 29 in a few days. He's at the top bracket in regards age in the midfield.

Freijah has potential to perhaps move to the wing in time and I'm assuming we will pick up a young midfielder or 2 in the draft.

We are lacking in the middle bracket though.

 

[Bonty4]

What makes you say plethora of tall forwards?

If I need to recite our current list then you obviously have nfi

West Freijah Sanders Richards there is 4 under 26 now throw in Garcia 5

Magically we can again also draft more to rejuvenate

Bont isn't about to suddenly disappear

 

[grassman75]

Not going to comment on the integrity of information from sources or buy into the arguments on here but if JUH was traded, the club would need to be ready with a pretty solid explanation for members and fans that only stops at information that just cannot be disclosed. “There was a decision made that it would be best for all parties to explore a trade and a fresh start” may not cut it.

Not after he just signed an extension

The thing is, we need midfield depth in between Sanders / Gallagher and Bont.

Thats Smith unfortunately but he's leaving.

Thats where your Peatlings and XOH are useful.

How often are clubs trading in players in the middle part of their career to purely be midfield depth?

Naughton, Darcy, JUH are givens not sure who else you are referring to

Watch a VFL game Croft is 2 years off other than that who plays KPF down there?

Guys like Robertson, F.Macrae even Garcia are the types if we need to add depth to target but again midfield depth isn't an issue for us midfield balance was but we are addressing that removing Macrae throwing in Richards

 

[adogsfan5]

I’m actually pumped for this off season lol. I am pretty darn sick of watching the same shit from us year on year. I can’t wait for some change. If it means it is only draft picks, then so be it.

Do you really think we'd be chasing XOH and Peatling to play at Footscray?

They're needed because our older midfielders could drop off a cliff at any point next year. I doubt Libba plays every game he will be rested at times, and the same for Treloar.

Macrae and Daniel could be gone. Thats a fair bit of experience which needs to be stocked up and not just with 18 year olds

 

[cherrypie]

Want to live next door, Clayton? Sure we can figure something out.

Oliver definitely leaving Melbourne because Geelongs midfield (Stewart and Stanley) are clearly better than duds like Petracca and Gawn

They'd be recruited as forwards both would be behind Bont, Treloar, Richards, Libba at a minimum then throw in Sanders for XOH

You are the one that said "depth", not me.

 

[Hobdog]

I’m confident if Peatling doesn’t re-sign today, he’ll be playing for the Dogs next year.

Their B&F is tonight and if he was going to re-sign it would be before then.

That leaves it down to Dogs or Adelaide. Based on what I’ve heard, granted was last week and things can change, was that we stand a very strong chance if he leaves the Giants.

Likely he does or has and then they announce it at the B&F?

Outside of our "big 4" CBAs for the year

Sanders 28%
Garcia 17%
Gaggs 15%
Harmes 10%

We aren't recruiting these guys as anything more then part time mids

 

[Bonty4]

Watch a VFL game Croft is 2 years off other than that who plays KPF down there?

He’s still a tall forward on the list though yes? Lobb tall forward tick, bont resting tall forward tick, english resting tall forward tick, even at a stretch you have jod buku and gardner who have been thrown forward

 

[Doggy]

Depth doesnt mean they're playing at Footscray

 

[Bald]

Depth doesnt mean they're playing at Footscray

You're the one that mentioned Footscray, not me.

I am well aware of what depth means. It means they're either playing out of position, or they're playing in the 2s, until an opportunity arises. Do you actually expect players to jump at that opportunity should it be presented?

 

[Bald]

By your logic anyone over 190cm on our list is a KPF

Jack Macrae is the KPF St Kilda are after, not Jamarra confirmed.

Again, do you honestly think the club is chasing these guys to play them at Footscray or out of position?

XOH can play wing or half forward.

Peatling mid-hf

pick 7 and 8 on the table throw in 194cm Poulter if we have too he is tall and can play forward

 

[Bonty4]

Yep exactly what I said

Height yes forward craft very very limited in that group you mention and much resting down there.

This team needs to build around Naughton, JUH and Darcy as forwards. Those 3 are a clear advantage we have whether we know how to use it is the question.
