[dazzledavey36 54,947]

Dale Thomas and Mark Lecras yes please!

I really think we should have a fair old crack on GWS with some of there kids. hearing rumours Will Hoskin Elliot and Dom Tyson will be looking to come home at years end.

[Moonshadow 17,676]

Midfielders please. Inside and out mids. Some experienced, around 25-27 year mark, and a couple of youngish 21-22 yr olds. And another high draft pick mid. Not too much to ask Santa, is it?

None of the above.

Very tall athletic ruckman to deiver to Grimes, Viney, Jones,Toumpas and maybe Frawley.

Giddy up!

[Grimes is Great 183]

Dom Tyson for Gws has or about to sign a new contract.

We need mids, mids and more mids. Maybe classy back flanker also.

I hope you are not suggesting we T are you moonshadow?

I rate Ellis. Injury prone but has the outside game the club needs. Foot skills are very good and struggles to fit into a midfield that is stacked with talent. He should not cost too much. He also plays well in finals. Players who step up in important games are hard to find.

[leehow 303]

As much as i would like Xavier Ellis, i highly doubt that Hawthorn would let him go. Think he is pretty highly regarded at the club.

LeCras yes, but cannot see any reason for him to leave a successful club. Thomas the same. Buddy too expensive, and if he goes anywhere, which i highly doubt, i think it will be to WA.

Nathan Van Berlo is the captain of the Crows, and there is absolutely no way he will leave.

As DD36 said, we'd be much better off targeting players from GWS, or the Gold Coast. It's going to be hard for them to fit everyone in.

[Demonsterative 3,020]

Ellis maybe a victim of the Buddy Franklin contract leehow. He could be one of a few Hawks other clubs may pounce on. If the MFC are smart they will be in the ear of a few Hawks offerring reasonable money.

If the club shows some very good improvement on field, we may look like a club that could intice a player like Ellis. He is always on the fringe come selection

[BiggerPotential 6]

Wouldn't mind a crumbing small forward to be at the feet of the big guys we now have up there. I hope we don't end up being too tall (Clark, Dawes, Hogan, Pedersen...)

So in that list, not a lot standing out for that role. LeCras maybe, but he plays tall, more of a lead up. Wouldn't mind Eddie Betts who will be a free agents but highly doubt he will leave Carlton.

LeCras, if he's bodies OK.

[Demon Jack 6,911]

We need a quality midfielder who has played around 100 games and guys like Dale Thomas and Xavier Ellis certainly fit the brief. Wouldn't think Buddy would be a chance and Van Berlo is captain of the Crows but I'm certainly open to the possibility of Lecras.

There's another midfielder from hawthorn who is a free agent. Tough as nails, big frame, decent tank, plays with a

Bit of sh!t in him, knows success!!

Same draft as buddy, and could definitely be a squeeze if buddy's staying!!

Lewis?? He is tough. I like watching him play. But I reckon he would be loyal.. And would stick with the hawks..

Haven't seen a ball kicked in anger for 2013, think the team is already crap so start a thread about what may eventuate in 8 to 9 Months time.....amazing......we have already recruited to fix the perceived shortcomings in the midfield....or I think we have

I think you're being a bit over-sensitive here... these are players who are coming up for free agency so despite possibly being a bit premature, the thread does have relevance. We were obviously limited in the number of players we could recruit and hardly have expected to cover all shortcomings in one year.

Hey, that would be like cutting off Sampson's hair... how do you think he manages to take those marks where he seems to float above the pack?

My kingdom for a decent ruckman! Hurry up Max.

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

Buddy.

Would be great depth in case Hogan gets injured

[Moonshadow 17,676]

A ruckman that will play more than one good season and midfielders of class
