I hope one of the options he's considering is a life on the stage

Jack Lonie No. Jack Sinclair however would be a great get if you could prise him from the saints. 

His head to body ratio is out of proportion, it's a definite no from me. 

Too small and he is B- mid at best.

No thanks .......... not if we are trying to improve our list.

No from me

If he ain't good enough for the "Aints"; he ain't good enough for the dees.

And this has to be our recruiting model now. In the past we may have tried to pounce on anybody with even a small amount of talent. 

Now, we need to add further quality, not just more depth players. Someone like Lonie is no more than depth, therefore there is no need for him. 

A younger Shannon Byrnes, and would give us about as much.

an extra pure crumber on the list would be great. Not sure he's quite that. 

he's like ben kennedy

But not as tough

lonie might be marginally a better kick

but it'd be marginal

Aside from him being re-signed. Just thought i'd put it out there that 'On The Couch' had a table of the best pressure players in the comp and Lonie was 3rd for forward half pressure behind Neade and Puopolo and in front of Rioli, Clay Smith, Tipungwati, Garlett, Minchinton, Jed Anderson and Josh Dunkley

Not everything is as simple as 'he can't get a game for another club, how could he get a game with us' - Kent played most of the year in the VFL and will get a game with us next year and may prove worthwhile keeping. Where is Kent in the pressure rankings?

beggars cant be choosers. outside of garlett we literally have no decent small forwards. i wouldnt mind him for a very low pick 

Neva heard of him , is he better than # 4 ?

Maybe as a delisted free agent if he were to walk from St Kilda Ben Newton style. But I wouldn't trade for him.

His cousins  (Nathan & Ryan) were die hard dees supporters, not sure about Jack. Not that it makes a difference.

How many of the Richmond small forwards would we take based on talent. It's all about forward pressure and what you do when we don't have the ball. This is why Watts is deemed expendable.

Hannan, while not small, is good on the pressure front and can rove and snap like a small forward. 

Also, like Vandenbergs pressure and presence when up and running, will be interesting if he regains and improves further when back from injury. 

He re-signed with St Kilda a couple of weeks ago
