Vince says we're lacking a superstar, maybe Bernie gets onto the phone to his mate Patty Dangerfield and whispers soon finals success and a chance to come home.

T Mac and our first round pick for Patty Dangerfield?
Wouldn't mind Tex Walker either, I know the last thing we need is another kpf with injuries but still, it's Tex Walker

Didn't need Bernie to point that one out. We've been lacking a superstar for a long, long time.

Think they'd want more than that for Danger. Throw Trenners in and they may show interest. Lots of water to go under the bridge before trade time.

Trenners is over imo, Judd went for Josh Kennedy a quality forward pick 3 and pick 20, don't see why T Mac can't go and a first round pick can't go for Danger

(And McDonald was a better player than Kennedy was before he went to Meth Coke)

[InVINCEable 358]

And if Danger came out and said he will not sigh a contract for 2015 and wants to be traded, they'd take what they can get so they get something out of it

He is right, until we get an even contribution from the 22 players each week we will struggle. That is what I read from his comments rather than the superstar comment. Footy today is a team game that if you have a couple of weak links you will get beaten. We carry to many weak links into each week and until we can either get a healthy list that sees out best 22 on the park or we can find another 5-6 players that are AFL standard we will struggle.

Thank you captain obvious!

Dreaming on all counts.

Jeez sorry!

Let a bloke dream

[InVINCEable 358]

What should we do then?

Dangerfield? Barlow? Fyfe, he's out of contract at the end of the season isn't he?

[Red N Blue Society 165]

We have a Star...maybe just off superstar..... but a game changer...but he never damn well plays...

[InVINCEable 358]

Has Matt Pridis signed yet?

Dream away!

Viney? he's not a superstar yet.. yet this we'll be his yar

[Redleg 40,902]

All those players named would be dying to come to the Dees, if nothing else, just to add a few flags to their CV.

I think our first task is to get rid of sub standard players, adopt the Roos recruiting philosophy of adding a few more good hard players, by trading an early pick for a lower pick and a player for example and starting to climb up the ladder.

When we start that climb and show we are on the move, then we can go after a star player or two.

[DeeSpencer 25,684]

We've been lacking a superstar since Robbie Flower if not before but as Vince said we need an even performance.

Especially once Garland is back we have a group of capable defenders even if we need to add some skill and pace off half back. We know the midfield needs work but Jones now has some support with Vince, Cross and Tyson plus more. Dawes and Hogan plus the bonus if Clark ever comes back plus the eventual freshening of the small forward roles with players like Salem and Kent gives us some forwards who can kick goals.

The best chance we have of getting a superstar is Viney and Hogan. Both have great talent. But it's hard if not impossible to emerge as a young star in a very bad team.

Unfortunately right at the moment tall forwards is the one area on the ground where it's very hard for us to get an even performance. We just don't have the cattle.

Dangerfield is contracted until the end of 2015.

Worry about this next year....

I'd rather not..

We cant afford Danger while we are paying 800k to someone on indefinite personal leave.

Go back to harping upon this chestnut on the Mitch thread.

Does anyone honestly know how much money we have to spend?

An ugly mixed metaphor if ever I saw one. How does one harp on a chestnut?

[DeeZee 7,385]

Everytime we think weve found one they get injured or leave.

Jurrah, clark etc.....

Im Banking on viney and hogan......signs are looking good for watts as well.
