Offer the man a 1.5 million dollar 7 year deal.

Won't get another chance like this in a long time.

I hope that this is actually being discussed at HQ.

nah mate, got Dawes, Clark and Hogan.

We got enough. Just gotta get players who can get the ball down to them, and get the ball down to them with decent kicks.

Buddy isn't the answer to our woes, believe me.

We have the leagues worst midfield.

We have Clark, Dawes, Hogan.

No.

Nah, we would be better off spending that money on possibly 2 A grade Mids.

Lance Franklin could be a Gary Ablett level midfielder if he played entire games there.

PS Stop it with the bloody gifs!

I will say that the area where we fall down hard is in our deliveries into about 60-40 metres from goal. Whether that's because of our forwards or our mids I'm not sure (largely because our real forward line has yet to play this year), but either way getting Franklin would allow us to shift our players so that either he or Clark could play the role of high half-forward who gives us that all-important kick inside 50.

I'm for it.

but we need Roos or similar as coach before we land any quality

I'm gobsmacked that some supporters can't see that we need to go after midfielders.

Would be great insurance if Hogan gets injured.

Yes but who are these A grade midfielders. Where are they going to come from!?

Do we wait years before the kids get there?

If anyone can give me a viable plan to 'get' these A grade midfielders I'm all ears...

Riiiiiiiiight.... So we should sign Buddy as a midfielder?! FMD.

Sorry, but you earned this.....

The fact that we offered David McKay nearly half a million a year...

Would be great insurance if Hogan gets injured.

Really hope you're kidding....

I know insurance is expensive these days, but 1.5 million is just ridiculous.

Einstein, where are these mids going to come from?

Dale Thomas ( free agent ) Dion Prestia ( pre season draft ) the priority pick we are likely to get plus Jack watts would make some decent trade bait!

I can say with Absolute confidence we have a better chance of getting Thomas and prestia plus potentially two more than we have of buddy even entertaining an offer from us without AFL assistance.

No mate, offer Sam Mitchell, he's the one... & grab Lecras.

Offer SMitchell a contract he can't refuse for 2 Years +,,, & work a deal for LeCras.

Sorry mate, what were you saying.......?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That Lance Franklin would be a Gary Ablett level midfielder if he played entire games there. Point to me where I said we should get him as a midfielder. You can't, because I didn't.

If you want to know, I think we should get him for the Mitch Clark role. I would then put Clark on one wing, with Jack Watts on another. Both of them would have the job of delivering the ball inside 50 to Franklin and Dawes.

Find the place where I said "we should get Lance Franklin and play him in the midfield." Do that and I'll give you a million dollars. Point to this post as the place where I said it and you will have proved how dumb you are.

Clearly that is what you're saying. Unless by "Gary Ablett level midfielder" you mean 3rd or 4th tall option in the forward line....

Now...
