would have loved him 2 years back. why by at the top of the market?

would have loved Boak 5 yrs back, when I wanted us to chase him. 2009ish

would have loved Dangerfield 5 yrs back, when I wanted us to chase him. 2009-2010ish

& vickery as well, is it too late? a good prospect for power forward/2ndruck. the boy is starting to mature.

I think a GUN player like Dangerfield or Boak would be of more value at present - as opposed to 2009.

As good a player as Nathan Jones is, and as promising as Tyson often looks. They would be better players not having to carry the load.

If we could get a Dangerfield/Boak type player, Nathan Jones could play second fiddle. At present Jones shoulders too much of the midfield.

Cross Z Jones off any list. Just signed for 2 more.

Just an update on Josh Kelly...

Played NEAFL on the weekend - again.

36 touches, 21 kicks and 3 goals.

This is coming off of 39 touches, 12 tackles and a goal.

Kid is in red hot form. I know he is contracted at years end, but so was Boyd.

I wonder if GWS would be tempted by our first pick and Jeremy Howe?

Surely they wouldn't let him go? He's a super talent and will be part of their midfield for the next 10 years. If we could steal him after all this time it would be very ironic. 2+9+Josh Kelly

The only thing going for us is that he is Christian Salems BFF.. thats about it..

Oh and they both play alot of FIFA together??

Look at shiels stats and games this year, he's that good..

Have a look at his repeat efforts in the Carlton game to - there was one play, may have been the first quarter where he got the ball in defensive 50, gave it off sprinted to run past the player he'd just kicked to through the middle, got the ball back, sprinted forward and then gave repeat efforts inside 50 to lock the ball in. He was knackered by the end of that sequence but never stopped having a go and trying to impact the next contest. He has that frenetic attack on the ball and cocontest, the gut running and goal kicking ability we desperately need.

Think it would take considerably more than that.

How about Devon Smith? This guy is an absolute [censored] and always gets under the skin of the opposition. Very good player as well. He would not be considered in their A list and so might be able to be secured for a reasonable offer.

This type of nasty player is what we have been lacking for too long. Definitely not a choir boy.

Thoughts?

Andrew Moore from Port would be a decent pick up.

Andrew Moore from Port would be a decent pick up.

havent noticed him much mainly because I haven't seen Port that often.

Whats he like?

I'd like Zac Smith, Charlie Dixon, Stephen Coniglio, Dylan Shiel and Adam Treloar. Thanks very much. Sincerely, Adam.

I agree with the others, but not Vickery. Not to mention, a bloody ordinary player and a bloody ordinary bloke.

what do you know that I don't, or others don't?

MIDFIELDERS!!!!

Open up the cheque book and throw massive deals at Josh Kelly and Dion Prestia

Time for to land us some serious midfield guns before he rides off into the sunset

I'd like Zac Smith, Charlie Dixon, Stephen Coniglio, Dylan Shiel and Adam Treloar. Thanks very much. Sincerely, Adam.

Well Zac Smith has gone so that is one midfielder less on your list!

Impressive stats but it is only the NEAFL.

Which is where we recruited vandeBerg from (in the Rookie draft).

Note: this post refers to Josh Kelly (No. 1 draft pick).

They've tied him to a long deal and no hope of prizing him away from GWS.

I'd give Jonathon Griffin a fat pay cheque to come over from Freo. He's killing in in the WAFL, just can't crack into that side with sandilands.

Yes get the Griff ...

Any and all of these would be handy:

Absolutely no chance.

Classy mid with good skills. Played his juniors as a forward.

Highly rated by Port, but has been kept out due to injuries.

I would throw our second rounder at him in a heart beat.
