Yeah I know, delisted by the Blues - read before you dismiss straight away

what do we think about picking him up as a rookie or late pick?  we are pretty light on for ready to play tall forwards and tall key backs.  if Hogan and Watts went down for example, it would be good to have a big body coming in for a couple of weeks.  He could also provide some cover at the back as we are a bit light on there to

I thought he actually played alright last year and was surprised he was canned.

6 foot 4, age 27. hard to assess his stats as he has played many positions. 

anyway - fire away.  Im logging off now   :)

Been canned from 3 clubs now, apparently work rate is a big issue. Has some talent, but rarely shows it consistently. If as you suggest Hogan and Watts go down, he'd play 1 or 2 good games then go missing for the next 5 or 6. Big no from me, if he was 21 you think that Macca could iron him out but he's had his chances.

I think he could be good insurance up forward and down back. Not sure it would be a good look delisting Dawes but then picking up Everitt.

Everitt can mark....

I'd rather Peter Everitt - even at his current age

I'd even rather Kenny Everitt - even in his current state of health

Can't see it happening i have to say. Although i do suspect the club will rookie a mature age defender given the state of our stocks back there.

He lacks the hunger required to make it at the top level. He is talented but just looks laconic when he is out on the paddock. 

Rookie list should be for taking a punt. Sadly you know what you are getting with Everitt and it isn't enough.

Is this what we have come to? 

It's funny that we've come so far, yet names like Everitt are still thrown up continuously. Nothing against the OP though, the trade period brings it out in everyone.

While I have no wish for us to pick him up, I would like to point out that The Blues have once again dropped one of their top goal-kickers. Funny.

Given the Blues' forward delisting history he could be good for 60 goals somewhere next year.

Jesus H. Christ. Do we need a thread for every dud where the OP tries in vain to make them sound enticing while everyone else shudders at the thought?

Bloke's a match-winner.

Get him!

I don't mind Everitt. Inconsistent as hell but hard leading and difficult to match up on at half forward. 

But I don't see him in our best 22 and I don't think he's the depth player we need. I'd have him in the same boat as Green, Barlow and probably others. 

If we had extra list spots I'd take him but we don't. We need to bring in 3+ more talented kids and try to fill holes in spots we don't have a lot of depth (ruck, speed, tall back).

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
