as a free agent. Balta and McKay locked in KPDs for 6+ years would be huge. Gibcus can take over CHF from Jack.

Mcay will probably go to Carlton they seem to have a never ending supply of brown paper bags.

They don't need McKay with Weitering and Young + Marchbank and McGovern.

We need to resign Balta first. Essendrugs having a massive crack the campaigners.

Yeah for sure. Can't see him leaving.

McGovern is shit and injury prone , they will want a upgrade.

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Yeah for sure. Can't see him leaving.

No way he's leaving his premeirship club to join that hindenburg.

 

[tiger_tough]

McGovern is s**t and injury prone , they will want a upgrade.

No chance

 

[RobsJourney]

Would love to see us put in a little offer for Ben Hobbs. Out of contract and the Bombers' midfield is pretty deep, could be in and out of the side.

We'll likely lose Cotchin end of 2023 and Jack Graham

may again seek a trade home to SA, so getting a highly rated kid with a couple of preseasons under his belt will really help support Taranto, Hopper and Prestia in 2024.

Why would we bother when our midfield bats just as deep if not deeper with the likes of Sonsie, Ross and even Dow currently not able to get into our midfield along with Bolton and Cumbo potentially able to spend plenty of midfield minutes

Essendon would want at least a 1st rounder for him as well and we don’t have any spare draft capital

If anything we should probably lay low trade wise imo for a few seasons
Have a crack at a few free agents (especially talls) and get Dusty’s money off the books resign our key pillars and continue to invest in development of our current group of talented kids

See where the list sits in a few years and attack hard for what we need

Hopefully we trade back into the first round of the draft because the last draft was pretty boring for tiger supporters.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Is kmac out of contract? Package up for Jackson?

Think both are FA.

With Mate retiring.
Balta will leave.

****ing oath
That was the worst part of getting Taranto and Hopper
Night one of the draft was boring as ****

Balta will leave.

Doubt it, especially with Soldo and Ivy still around the club who he has very strong ties with

I think we encourage Grimes to pull the pin along with Cotchin and Jack and get Ben McKay as a free agent. Balta and McKay locked in KPDs for 6+ years would be huge. Gibcus can take over CHF from Jack.

We got so many KPDs: Grimes, Tarrant, Balta, Gibcus, Nyon, Young, Miller, Broad. Yes Tarrant will depart, as might Grimes. Young and Miller could be 3rd KPDs with Gibcus & Balta.

At the other end we have Lynch and donuts as KPF to replace JR.

Balta a few capable games; Miller trained there but never plays there; Ryan 2.5 game career. Bradtke and Bauer are looking good in the VFL.

I think the club will take a FA KPF as they won't have confidence in the players at the club.

If we got McKay I'd play Gibcus forward. Broad isn't really KP size and is also getting on. Grimes looks cooked. Miller and Biggie not sure they'll ever really make it. Young too early to tell.

McKay is better than Himmelberg so I'd go that way.

 

[DickieKnee]

They don't need McKay with Weitering and Young + Marchbank and McGovern.

2 of them are complete spuds though.

Marchbank isn't if he can stay fit. Still, they couldn't afford Ben.

Nor can we unfortunately

I could imagine someone would have a decent crack , he’s loads better than Luke Jackson and he had 800 plus x 5 thrown at him , has started the season well Balta , we won’t be signing him for peanuts , confident he stays tho

 

[tiger_tough]

If Grimes, Cotchin and Jack all retire? Easily.

We made an offer to Logue last year after we signed Hopper and Taranto.
