Not exactly a KPD but I honestly expect Andy Ottens to be looked at. 27 is not over the hill and if he passes a medical he has Paul Roos written all over him

i thought he was rather slow, even before his knee troubles.

Class with ball in hand and tough around the contest at his fit best. Suits our style

Injury wise, has Chris Knights written all over him. Actually think we could do with a mobile 3rd tall defender, but unless Otten breaks into the Crows team or tears it up in the SANFL, I'd pass.

Just one from left field...

Anyone think T. Cloke could be moulded into a full back/CHB, big, strong reasonably quick. 

Not a bad field kick.

29 years old though. 

That's too far left field for me.

At 29 he is well and truly set in his ways.

No chance of our recruiters even considering him.

Not a bad suggestion there deeflog. He is certainly on the outside looking in right now at Norf. He has good attributes and is able to play on the really big forwards too. 

How can you be warm to the idea of bringing in a fringe NQR key defender in Hansen and agree that he has 'good' attributes but be completely against bringing in a premiership defender in Nathan Brown who is a similar age but far more runs on the board?

The bloke can't get a run for Collingwood.  

Plus he isn't an 'attacking' backman, something you knock a few of ours for, and his disposal is suspect.  Plus I haven't seen him shutting down any forwards lately.  Brown is not an upgrade.

Hansen might be a fringe defender, true, but he's a fringe defender at a club with one of the better defenses in the competition.  I know who I'd rather have.

To be honest your interest in Brown surprises me.

I'd say the overwhelming majority of supporters from opposition clubs would have Brown over Hansen. For reasons that are obvious I would have thought.

By 'bloke who can't get a run for Collingwood', I assume you mean he's been dropped once which was last week and is now injured?

Why would you want Brown?  What sets him apart from what we have?

As a slightly left field suggestion we could do worse than Sam Reid.

Edit: although his injury history would be a big concern. Runs in the family.

Caleb Marchbank?

Not a bad option, but is he capable of playing on the gorillas so as to free Tommy Mc up?

If not, we may as well back Oscar in.
