Lol Mohr is in GWS best 22 and are currently 4th on the ladder... I think it's you who is joking... 

Careful CC, that method of thinking doesn't always support a theory. Mark Blake was a premiership ruckman too at one point.

Cam McCarthy will take a little bit off their CAP. Guess it means Freo will get him for a song. But in general other clubs will be feasting on GWS leftovers. Tomlinson will be highly sought after. Picking up 40 possessions in the 2's as a mid and he is a big body.

As I previously mentioned he's a smokey IMO. But by all means if you think there is another gettable player that won't cost us much and will give 3 to 5 good years of service while our young KPB's develop then i'm all ears...

James Stewart is ripe for the taking with their salary cap space and is also out of contract at seasons end. At 196 cms and 93 kgs could be a very good get and still only 22. My other smokey would be Tim Mohr who has been dogged by injuries but I reckon he would be a good FB for us at 198cms and 105 kgs and still relatively young at 27. 

I wanted us to rookie Mohr way back when he was at Casey.  Sadly GWS snatched him up. 

What I'd really love is to get a pacy outside runner with quality disposal and decent vision.  We still fall down too often with our shocking delivery to the forwards and it's costing us games.  Until we get that sorted out there is no way we'll be any sort of contender.

Stretch and  Hunt say hello, but I get what you mean. Yes we need another one.

Ted that is not what i meant. 

Shovelling $$$ at GW$ will achieve nothing except keep 9 games on the idiot box

when they win flags the G will be a soulless pile of concrete..

Mmmm, that is exactly what they said about West Coast, Adelaide and Brisbane 30 years ago. That seemed to work out alright!

Adelaide and West Coast are teams in AFL states so they were both eventually going to succeed and be able to long after them selves for a long time to come. Brisbane was a shambles up until the early 2000 And since there three flags in a row have become a shambles again.

Just a guess, but I think:

Going:
- McCarthy - off to WA
- Patton - Essendon circling, not sure he's really best 22 at GWS
- Tomlinson - can't get a game, Carlton keen

Possibly

- Marchbank - with big money he's out of contract
- Stewart
- Pickett  and Ahern - top 10 talents who have both had injuries
- Hoskin-Elliott - seems not to be first choice
- Finlayson - tall defender with a bit of talent

I reckon Marchbank will cost a heap (both in terms of cash and draft picks) with plenty of clubs after him. Not so sure about the others. With Weideman and Hulett I wouldn't want a tall forward from them. Finlayson might be worth asking about. Otherwise see if anyones available cheap to a good home like Bugg.

wouldn't go near pickett or wh-e.

 

can't understand the hard-on that people have for marchbank at all; he looks similar to jaksch and plowman to me, where he's just that little bit undersized to be a key back at afl level, and not quick / skilled enough to play the third tall.

 

tomlinson, stewart would suit our needs okay, i think, and i would love it if we could prise kelly free from them.

 

patton is absolutely best 22, but if the bombers want to give up their likely top 2-3 pick for him, they'll get him.

Marchbank looks big enough to me, definitely a bigger frame to Plowman I think, but certainly isn't a towering presence. 

Lobb plays 2nd ruck/goal square forward, Cameron is a prolific goal kicker so needs room inside 50, I think ideally they'd rather a more mobile other tall than Patton. And he's done what 2 ACL's and other knee injuries? Seems to be just part of their team than an important part. 

What would Tomlinson and Stewart do for us that Watts doesn't and Weideman (and maybe Hulett) soon will do? Neither are big or strong enough to be long term ruck options.

We'd all love Kelly but I can't see him going. Ward, Shiel, Coniglio, Greene, Hopper seem like their inside mids, Whitfield and Scully the wingers, but Kelly is that extra bonus class player who can play half forward, wing and inside mid.

Nick Haynes would be right up in the list of players I'd love from them. I'd offer them heaps for him.

My point entirely. The outcry about whether new teams would work happened widely when those teams came in with the common refrain "would you ever go to a grand final with Brisbane playing!" . It has just been replayed to me here re Gold Coast. The fact is a lot of people do not like change, and there is no more conservative person than a "dyed in the wool" AFL supporter.

    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
