Average player who might add some value with regards to attitude and leadership.

Not over the moon about this appointment. Hope he still has some good years and form in him,

I'm happy with this signing.

Having said that, if we got more players in the 'ageing' bracket i would be worried. We retired Green and got rid of moloney + Rivers may walk.

If someone had asked you - who would you prefer Moloney or Byrnes you'd say Moloney in a heartbeat

depends whether you're talking moloney2011 or moloney2012

depends on whether you're looking for a fast small forward or not

hope so! really can't comment but only worry because only managed to land 4 games this year

any youtube footage of Byrne?

No I wouldn't!! Byrnes wants to play for Melbourne, Moloney doesn't. That puts the seal on it.

Let's not argue about that now. Moloney will be a loss though. Hopefully Byrnes can cover him? Was he injured this year??

cool footage dandee! Byrnes had a great game. Seems an opportunist type of player. May not play every match. May not even start in best 22?

we didn't sign him up to be fringe surely?

Welcome Shannon

Good pick up and exactly what the Moneyball principle is about. No worldbeater fills a role on and off the field.

One door Opens, will another shut?

Now lets see how the Dawe swings.

As Geddy Lee said - Byrnes brings our grand total of small forwards at the club to 1...

He has a place Rd 1, 2013 and for the foreseeable future.

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.

He will fill the gaping hole in our forward line left by Maric.

and Wona, Lawrence, Bennell, Jurrah, Davey...

And also premiership players and duel premiership players to 1 also!

I assume we'll target small forwards in rounds 4 5 and the rookie draft

The door for Goldsack remains slightly ajar because this article says he is finalising the contract - Goldsack set to stay a Pie. It's an outside chance but I'd be making a play for him ahead of Dawes or Wellingham.
