Who do we realistically target for a trade?

Hopefully we go nowhere near Hanners.  He looks shot! 

I very much doubt he has been injured and played for 15 rounds. 

He has OP,  definitely playing injured

Jason Taylor and co aren't stupid enough to chase someone who is 28 and banged up.

Up to you whether you believe it mate, I’m just putting out there as others I’m sure are interested. 

I have no interest in telling you who told me as for one I don’t know you and second I wouldn’t jeopardise the persons position by telling you their name to make you feel better. 

I would say for future reference don’t ask who the source is or any questions relating to the comment if you are just looking for a reason to tell someone it’s not true.

Just out of curiosity is Dan actually open to moving?

I call bs. You put it on a forum open to the public and then say you won't give any detail of your source. If it were true, and this rumour got wider traction in the media (I know for a fact that some journos flick through fan forums such as Land), do you honestly think that the club couldn't put 2 and 2 together and figure out where it came from? You have jeopardised their position.

I am proud of our club's ability to not leak to punters like us. If Hannerbury is a Dee next year, I will congratulate you. But I doubt it.

But yes. Speed and precise ball use will win finals

Some like squeaky clean boy next door types.

I hope we get some killer players, who want to murder the opposition like it was at the Colosseum.

 

We need effective types.  And with a touch of mongrel, would suffice.

do they even exist at the moment? people throw up the likes of isaac smith alot, but if every player in the afl was gettable, who has the speed & footskills that the dees need? they're either flakey, fast and have poor footskills (see hunt), only run in straight lines (also see hunt, but obviously a lot of others), or have amazing foot skills like a matt suckling. gaff (especially considering our list demographic) seems like the best bet for our group. he will compliment and not need to really win his own ball. oliver, brayshaw, etc will feed it out to him.

This!

I still maintain that Todd Viney and Jason Taylor wouldn't be silly enough to recruit a banged up 28 year with average pace.

[stevethemanjordan 6,952]

Weitering could be worth a crack even though he's under contract. 

Lever will be of most value when playing that true third intercept defender. Oscar and Weitering to mark talls with Lever as intercept. 

Two key backs and Lever as the intercept specialist.

Totally agree. He can be the leader/coach of the backline and intercept alongside 2 KPD's.

It seems that the word “realistically” should be removed from the title.

Really on this forum, I'm shocked, just a reply to the 95% of list can't hit a target

[Deespicable 2,884]

Obviously our No.1 target is Gaff and we need that to be as a UFA, as we can't offer a deal that would meet their requirements. For us it would be a coup and if it means they get a first round concession pick for his loss, so be it. It's the same principle as to when the Hawks used to take players from other clubs, which was hardly the intent of the rule - but that's another matter.

As to others, I suspect we will have about 8-9 players coming off our list this season - I know some of you think it will be just 4-5, but sorry I have a few more in mind and I suspect the club does to.

That will allow us to rookie our two emerging Casey boys - Lockhart and Wags Jnr.

But after Gaff, I think our main priority is securing a replacement for Pedo - a back-up tall who can ruck if required. Obviously Weid is progressing in that role, but we need another one. My view has been for two years now that Freo's Mitch Taberener would be handy and realistically he is a third round pick now - which is what we can offer. That would then take the pressure away from us having to retain either Pedo or our two project ruckman and leaves us a bit of time to see how Bradtke develops. 

It would be lovely to get a player such as Dahlhaus but we have virtually nothing to offer the Dogs in return.

Restricted free agent

[DeleteUser 638]

Groundskeeper Willie to make sure our training grounds aren't affecting our players

you know I'm right 

[spirit of norm smith 16,569]

Gaff, all class and run as the outside star we need

Cutler, a real jet now he is injury free

Dahlhaus for his pace and goalsense 

 Leuenberger as the backup ruck
