Would love Walker. And don't want to count our chickens on Dawes and Hogan. But I can't see Walker, Dawes, Hogan all working anyway. We should go after a decent ruck/forward to replace Clark presuming by the end of this year we haven't seen improvement from Gawn or Fitzy.

I'd focus still on midfielders and try and find a bargain buy back up forward or forward/2nd ruck and head to the draft. The presumed number 1 draft pick is a tall forward who can ruck at around the 200cm mark. Would be a good Clark replacement.

Not sure we should invest in 18 year old ruck men, they take so long to come along. I think gawn will be good, needs time. King looks good too but he's still years off. If we are after a ruck forward, lets get our picks and check book out. We could look at zac clark from freo, take wild stab at luenberger from brisbaaine, Sam day from gold coast, or one of the tall forwards from gws. We need guys that can come in with an immediate impact.

Kids that are ready in 2-4 years arnt ideal, I would hate to think where we could be next year if we used all our picks in the draft.

Wright would be a great replacement for clark, 203 cm and still growing and over 100 kg

pick 2 Angus Brayshaw is a good mid

pick 3 McCartin is another Jesse Hogan type forward, this is the pick i'd look to trade

Out of contract end of next year.

Best mates with Bernie and Clisby.

Melb get in his ear now and start selling him the club, the G and the town.

Been thinking it since Mitch Retired..if his knee is good to go then lets go get him! Hogan & Tex...but the contract must state with mullet in full mane!!

PJ might offer him an extra 100k a year if he gives him some of the excess hair to transplant onto his head.

PATTON!

I reckon Patton is the one, talk he might come back to vic last year, Boyd knocking on the door, a few extra dollars a year and the chance to come home to vic might entice him

throw him, Dawes and Hogan in a forward line together and my penis actually feels like it has some life left in it after the Clark retirement.

How about we just select the best young forward in the country. Peter Wright looks the goods. If Dawes can get on the park, Hogan has some game time and Fitzpatrick finds his feet then any forward that comes in will not have the same opposition pressure IMO.

If Roos wants to recycle a player do it in the later rounds where we won't live with permanent regret. If we pick up our obligatory skinny, pasty, passive, potential laden soft clock at pick 76 I'm ok with that also. In fact I'm so accustomed to it, I'd be disappointed if we didn't.

Wright can also be a second ruck can't he?

at 203 cm at 100 plus kg i reckon he is the perfect forward/ruck

Note the retweet...

Vince and Clisby are certainly keen on the idea, i believe Tex had a tweet a while ago about being dangerous up front with Dawesy

Walker is a mouthwatering idea and having his best mate here at the Dees helps. Adelaide's player retention has a horrible record (not that I'm complaining). HOWEVER, is targeting another potentially injury prone disaster the best idea for us right now? It's a big gamble after Clark.

We lack quality and depth in the ruck and Russian ain't getting any younger. We also now lack depth in the forward line for talls.

I'd say that Wright could be a very good target for us, but that's a matter for later on in the year.

I look at Jeremy Cameron and think we use our high draft pick/s to pick up young talent. What has always concerned me is our static ball movement and lack of dash from the half back line. If we are going to target clubs IMO this should be the area. I also don't think we should be selling the farm to get a clubs third or fourth best mid. The only exception to this is Luke Parker but I'm a relly so biased.

Sydney have Tim membery who was a really highly rated Young key forward a couple of years ago who can't crack a run behind Franklin, Tippett and Reid, reckon he's wroth consideration as it wouldn't cost us much.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
