Shannon Byrnes and Tyson Goldsack

Players touring the facilities has form from last year.

I dont mind th eidea/concept of a Byrnnes type. I think too many people are shooting for the moon.

Currently we're just the other side of crap. We arent going to turn into a take-on-all -killer type for a few seasons yet. Theres a path to this and it will be paved with many a 2-3 year stint of deccent capable journeymen types. They will fill a role, then move on...and the next comes in or is developed from within etc.

This cat could do a role quite well. Certainly combine well with a few others to fire up the middle and get some good decisions happening out of the midfield.

He's not stellar....but hes pretty bloody good on his day

Bit like Scotland at Carlton, not a star but they certainly got a lot of value out of him since he crossed over from Collingwood. It's amazing how a change of scenery can make a player perform so much better, especially if he is a bigger cog in a smaller engine.

That's the one, where Murphy finished around 5th having missed half the season.

Still beat everyone else H_T

[dee_star 63]

Scotland was 23 when he went to Carlton, not 28. Hardly apples and apples.

[Real Demon 232]

Good news................solid pick up, and nothing lost!

[olisik 4,060]

Anyone know what type of coin his on?

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,379]

Decent pick up.

Kicked 35 goals in 2010, that's a good return for a small forward.

2 time premiership player

Will add some pace

[Demons 32 235]

Byrnes!!! Sneaky goals!!!

[stinga81 210]

Don't mind this either, nicely done to both parties.

[Allen Jakovich 516]

Sweet, he will add sorely needed experience and make a big difference to our side in the short term.

[Deestroy All 14,262]

Finally landed a 28 year old forward pocket that wasn't in the best 22 in a team that finished 7th and no one else was after them. What a steal.

If I may balance post, I'm happy enough because he'll play that position better than anyone we currently have.

[MadAsHell 4,089]

Happy with this pick up.

Experience, pace and comes from a good culture.

Just the type of player we need n the short term. Look forward to what he can bring to the table!

[Choko 493]

He's like an un-freakish Moorcroft. Oh well, didn't lose much.

Yeah, he will play it better than no-one.

Because that is who we have had play small forward this year.

[Gippsland Dee 367]

he will be an ideal pick up for us as we don't have any small, fast, crubing forwards and he ticks everyone of those boxes he brings a large amount of experience (dual preiership player) and he is also coming from a winning culture which is an invaluable trait and he can hopefully give our young players an idea of what they have to put in to make it at this level!

Except he aint injured with [censored] hips.

[GolfBoyPro 43]

Im happy, i think he will be good value for us for a couple of yrs. Give the kids someone to look up too and doubt he would be costing us much... Go Dees!!!

[olisik 4,060]

no reports on how much he is being paid?
