Which player would you chase in a free market?

[Hawkk]

If you had a choice of one player that you could pick up in a free market to 'complete' your line up, who would it be?

From a Hawk perspective I'd probably chase Darren Glass from West Coast to patch up the areas of concern in the backline.

Big Bad Jonathan Brown!!

 

[Tas]

J Brown, no contest.

 

[Metallica_Man]

Jonathan Brown probably

 

[mwalker]

Dean Cox or J. Brown

 

[micky_11]

Lance Franklin. Then draft Ben Cousins after his year suspension is up

 

[Cohzee]

J Brown.

Jonathan Brown probably

Your forward line didn't do too badly last year from memory

 

[Metallica_Man]

Your forward line didn't do too badly last year from memory

Neither did the midfield or backline
But we only really had 2 key forwards, Ablett and Mooney and sometimes Ottens but other than that we went fairly small, there was always a spot open between Byrnes and Varcoe so why not chuck Browny in there

 

[sdrawkcab]

Stuart Dew - in his conditon even I'd be a chance of catching him

 

[ALM_30]

With Clement gone, I'd take Scarlett, brings everything to the table as a FB, champion stopper and better than anyone on the rebound.

I'd look at Adam Goodes too, bearing in mind the Pies greatest weaknesses, I think Goodes goes a long way to helping ratify them. Those two (or just one of them) at Collingwood would be nice.

Fair compliment to Down Town that 5 of the first 7 responses name him.

Actually, make that 6 of 8.

J Brown.

 

[Burzum]

Chris Judd.

Chris Judd

Buddy Franklin. Young, dominant KP player entering his prime. No injury concerns whatsoever and he's shown he can turn it on in big games.

I'd trade Judd straight up for him if it was offered right now. And I'd rather Franklin than Brown.

 

[Tambu]

Judd, but if we didn't have Lucas then J.Brown over Judd.

 

[M-Train]

No Contest At All!!!!!

Jon Brown..... even though we have a very good centre half forward in the making!!!

 

[fish_bowl]

daniel kerr or simon black

This guy knows his footy ^^^

If Brown was 20 years old and performing as he did then at 20, people would laugh at the suggestion he is better than Franklin.

People forget ...

Franklin - 20 years old (73 goals, 7 in a final to win it off his own boot)
Brown - Less than above in his best ever season, albeit slightly more goals.

Franklin > Brown

 

[blueboy1974]

Buddy Frankin

 

[Aimsley Harriot]

dean putt

 

[The Dice Man]

Daniel Kerr

 

[markr]

Although there is a very good case to be made for taking Cox or Glass, I'd take one of the younger gun mids: Judd, Kerr, Bartel, Ablett. You can't have too much class in your midfield.

 

[huggy_b]

A ruckman that isn't garbage.

 

[Souup]

Jonathon Brown
