i think we need a tagger. not convinced we have any prospects for that spot so would put fwd Bannister as a target who would be cheap.

Is this a joke? If it's noti think we need a tagger. not convinced we have any prospects for that spot so would put fwd Bannister as a target who would be cheap.

I'm not a fan of Rischatelli, but can see how someone would rate him over Prismall. Lovett on the other hand
As for the poll, it's difficult to say.
For example, if we can get Kerr for 2 late first-round picks, I'd be all over it. Pick 3 + Pick 9 (or whatever they were asking), then pass.
I like Harris, but if we take an inside mid with our first he becomes somewhat surplus. Prismall's probably unrealistic tbh, as Geelong will get a high 2nd rounder from some team, which would trump our offer.
Reilly and Walker would be good gets, but at what price? Both have massive injury concerns, but neither would be let go cheaply.
With all that sort of thing in mind, if I were Hiney, I'd make the following offers:
- 1st rounder + Reid for Kerr. I would be prepared to go as high as 1st rounder + Thomas, if Kerr passed all injury/character assessments with flying colours.
- Goldsack for Prismall; our second rounder won't be good enough, and Geelong might see Goldsack as a replacement for Milburn/Harley etc...who are all getting a bit long in the tooth.
Now, those are obviously aggressive offers, but I believe would benefit all parties involved and make us a better, more balanced, team.
If those don't work out (and in reality, they won't), have a crack at Harris or Reilly. Who we go for would depend on who's taken with our 1st rounder.
^ You're spot on.
The one player not to have received a vote yet is Adam Thomson, I assume because no one watches Port games. Here's his write up in the AFL Prospectus;
"Thomson has showed signs he can make it as an inside midfielder at the highest level despite playing only 21 games in his three seasons and struggling for game time. He made six appearances at AFL level in 2007, ranking third at the Power in disposals per minute as he won the ball more than 15 times in each of those games. Despite an average of just 71 minutes game time he averaged five clearances per game, giving him the best rate of any player in 2007 at winning clearances given how much time he spent on the field. While his kicking was again in the poor category, as an inside player he fed out twice as many handballs as kicks and also managed three tackles per game."
Now I know we're all against players with poor footskills, but no votes at all for a 21yr old mid taken at #11 in 2004?

This thread really shows that exposure is everything. Prismal is being talked about contstantly because his VFL form is so good and he comes up and does ok at AFL level and people are baffled at him not getting a game, it appears people take the recognition of his name and link it to how good he is as a footballer and think he'd be a star in any team and that is simply not true.

Deffinately Dal Santo and Reilly. We deserately need foot speed and excellent foot skills in the middle. These 2 are in the top 12 field kicks in comp.
We also have Didak, Davis and Clarke who are also in the best 12 field kicks in the comp.
Can you imagine how potent our full strength forward line would be with Dal Santo, Reilly, Didak, Davis, Clarke and Pendlebury delivering it lace out every time!!!!
Pick 9 to St Kilda for Dal Santo.
Pick 27 + R Shaw to Adelaide for Reilly
Well of course you'd take Kerr, but that won't happen.
If you're going to recruit a existing player you have to be able to win the trade, so probably Prismall.
true that, BIG-E, (still can't believe the nba didn't over turn that buzzer beate result)....
i hope with kelly, mackie, wojinski available for the cats that prismall gets dropped, that will make him real dirty miss another flag and want out!
What about the round 9 sugar ray knockout.
That was my best day.
came out of no where, that may just have been your finest victory. i look forward to some tennis very soon mate!
just geezed at the geelong board, rooke is back too it is playing into our hands to get prismall!
What about staight swap: Reilly for Didak? We really need some forwards.Yep I'd admitt I haven't seen him play and hence wouldn't and didn't vote. I'd assume off that write up he'd be close to the same in value for us as Harris and would probably come cheaper and is younger.
I think Rielly is the one I am really suprised at. If he was avalible he would be my number 1 target above Kerr. Rielly will likely come a little cheaper, is younger. When up and fit Rielly is serious A grade midfield material. Keeping him on the park has been a problem, but from what I can gather it is different injuries everytime so it's not a reoccuring injury.

There's going to be a few clubs sniffing around him, and Geelong are less likely to deal him to us than say an Essendon who are sitting in the bottom 5.
Some people look at us as the only team that can challenge Geelong with our game plan so they would be pretty reserved to the fact they don't want to make us better.
We probably need to convince Prismall to come to the club and give up a little more than others if we want to get him.
Is he out of contract?
