Well that didn't help me much, you answer my question with a question, well done.

My question, in case you didn't understand it, was, is he worth paying a lot of money for, what does he have that makes him worth trading a good draft pick for?

Does that help, do you have an answer or just more questions?

RF, your question started with a statement inferring we were going to pay over the Odds for Boak. How do you know that?

He's a hard worker, was recruited as a very good endurence mid.

Had a great year last year, but has been mostly unhappy away from Vic.

Is hotly persued by the Cats & the Bombers, amongst others, to help ease they're mounting midfield woes.

#Paying over the odds, I don't know about that, but i'd be happy to give our mid 1st Rnd pick plus a player,, & a Healthy pay packet to him.

My question started with a question, have another look at it.

I was after some information about the player and wondered why some on here were prepared to offer a fairly high pick for him and was he worth it, that was all.

I have no idea what he's worth or how good he is; I do know we lack leg speed and maybe he has some of that.

I have a simila level of knowledge regarding Boak RF, from what i gather he is pretty all round, Good endurance, hard work, leadership ect, i dont know if he is any better than Jones (this season), but in saying that i would think Jones is worth a top 10 pick on what he is showing, i would not offer pick 4 off what i know of Boak.

The other selling point is his age and that he can make an instant impact compared to many high draft picks.

I dont see how a draft of Viney, Vlastuin and Boak wouldnt offer pretty instant improvement to our midfield. Then hope for some Gysberts improvement between now and next season and it will be like bringing in 4 high qaulity Mids in one off season....

I dont think pick 12 will be enough to get him though.......

You know we lack leg speed??? We need a lot more than just leg speed.

We need toughness physical & mental by the bucketful. Before leg speed. Then we need to find more foot speed but the movement of the ball is the most important.

Having plenty of flashy types & good runners but without the guts & endeavour has been our achilles heal for Eons. = Culture

I'd much rather be like the current Cats team, full of honesty & strength & courage, but slowish, than full of blistering speed used to run away.

Give me players who'll attack the contest like there'll be no tomorrow before the fleet feet brigade.

You're good aren't you??????

You take one part of what I say and try to take that as being my only concern. I was after information but you just want confrontation; I'm not interested I have many other issues on my mind.

I did have a chuckle. Surely we cant stuff it up this time!!! I will go and hide for the rest of my life otherwise!

Who would you pick up at #4 Jose???

I don't know enough about the kids available.

If I'm guessing who would be left there, it'd be out of Stringer, Vlastuin and Toumpas, with Toumpas the favourite.

I don't want confrontation. I try to avoid it where possible.

PS: you have been one of ther Most confrontational posters I've ever seen, on 'Ology, etc.

But in a forum where people deride others wrongly, I say my piece.

I saw your 1st sentence as more of an inferment of Boak costing massive over the Odds money. Compared to whats being offered to Cloke, he'd be nowhere near as expensive.

Boak would be much more affordable option.

So you thought you'd stir the pot did you?

Well I guess by now you realise you were wrong.

I'd be going Sidebottom before Boak. Such a gun. Only watched 10 minutes of the Pies/Eagles game, but every time he gets it, his distribution and decision making is spot on.

Just re signed with Collingwood

Is sidebottom available, & wanting to leave? I have my doubts he'd leave the Pies. Boak is available.

As RF says signed last week

#Edit: re-signed, there ya go.

Well, that's disappointing. Beams is the only one there then. Beams or Boak? Not totally sold on Beams, but his game yesterday was amazing. Being tagged early on, 34 touches and three goals.

"Not totally sold". Sheez he's turning into the next Scott Thompson and you're "not totally sold".

Ever heard the expression beggars can't be choosers?
