I don't mind the thinking of offering Curnow a contract, maybe not $700k, but something like a 4 year deal worth around $2.4 - 2.5 mil? Would certainly put him in the higher range for a kid his age. I think our first round pick would tempt Carlton, and agreed there isn't a lot of KPP talent. Carlton I imagine will play hard ball but if Gibbs left having, two top ten picks to pick 2 new elite midfield talents, plus whatever Adelaide give them (you'd imagine another 1-2 first round picks) they would be tempted to go to the draft with 3-4 first round picks. Can't see it happening but geez he'd look good devolving him alongside Darcy Moore over the next few years.

it's a big no from me. We'd have to pay out portions of his contract, he is 30, injury prone, and my gut feel is he just isn't a good bloke.

No point sitting on our hands waiting for something to happen. You just got to get it done!

Billings?
Certainly with you there mate! Have felt for a while the club has been sitting on their hands, 'waiting for things to happen'. Would love to see some real aggression and eagerness this time round.
I heard the opposite. He didn't need a clean as he had been given a bath all day.

People might say what the Dogs with Boyd was crazy, but they got a premiership. So who cares.
Yep, he's one of my main targets!

If I was a recruiter I would only target players in the trade/drafting that are proven finals players at under 18 or senior level. Simple as that.

Have there been links or just a hypothetical?
Would love to see us throw a few bob at Nick Riewoldt if he and the Saints decide retirement is best option for both parties.
Get him over on a Sam Mitchell/Dermott Brereton-like deal. Expect 10-12 games out of him and his dodgy knee. Let him be a forward line coach, make sure he doesn't travel. Let him tutor Darcy every week on and off the field.
I don't think there'd be much chance - I think he'd rather retire a one-club man, but one of the key ingredients that I think we really lack is leadership - especially in the forward line - he'd be invaluable for a season as a wise head and extra forward line depth.

Only him a couple of years ago saying he looked up to Scott Pendlebury and picked his brain over a coffee instead of his own leaders. And he's out of contract.
That's all there is but I'm clinging to it!

Don't know much about him but it appears his form has improved over his 3 years at the Crows.

Early reports seemed to suggest he didn't have a tank as he continually faded out of games.
Guess getting a gig as a small defender at the Crows is a tough gig. Is he quick? Is he actually a small defender or another aspiring midfielder?

Those two were above average footballers that cashed in with "too good to refuse deals". There was nothing big time about them given they were nowhere near top tier players. The last player to fit the criteria was Moore.

It would be better is he left Richmond for Collingwood and he came out and stated that he left because we have a better list.
Saints Won't let him go.

If he wants to go, will they really have a say in it?

Our first this year and second next year for Jack Billings and Josh Bruce!?
Done done.

Have you taken over from Matty this year for the dream time trade scenarios?

Agree that Frawley wasn't big time. With hindsight Daisy wasn't, but at the time, even with a wonky ankle, Daisy had shown some cracking form before he was traded. Seem to remember a 30 or 40 touch game from him off half back in between being injured. I have no doubt Carlton an MM thought that they were recruiting 'big time' Daisy rather than 'shadow of his former self' Daisy when they made their offer to him. I'd say he was line ball on a big time trade without the benefit of hindsight.

Tory Dickson is out of favour. He would be worth looking at purely because he can kick straight.
