Amazing how the club is saying that a defender is still high on our priority list... 

Interesting. The permanent replacement for OMac?

Can he kick goals?!

Is he 27?

He will be 28 at the beginning of next year.  Ha, ha - the club must think we are in premiership mode!!.

We would only chase another tall defender if they were concerned about Lever long term which I doubt.  The article talks about May going forward so maybe they are concerned about TMac's foot. 

If we want a fwd I we should go after a genuine forward rather than turn a key defender into a forward.

Adelaide will want our first round pick and they know we will cave in.

Walk away.

We can’t trade our first round pick this year . Thank. God!

Good move. If we can keep other teams to less than 5 goals, we are a good chance to win 10 -11 games. Enough to sneak into the 8 some years!

We can trade our 2020 first rounder this year

True. But we might be good next year. Who knows. 

At least we didn’t trade our first round pick this year and we can console ourselves with a decent player come the end of the year.

Yes, assuming we get the pick right ?

I hope we pick a slow inside mid with suspect kicking. It’s the missing piece of our puzzle. 

First it was Midfielders midfielders midfielders, lately it’s been Defenders, defenders, defenders.

Our biggest hole?

Forwards!!!   FFS

Hopefully he has got good knees and likes a pint.

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Can’t kick goals for love nor money so let’s go get another defender. 

Fantastic idea.

For my own sanity I’m putting this article down to Keath’s manager pump-priming his client in negotiations with Adelaide.

We've lost all sense over every other part of our game, why not the recruiting too?

Would have thought a forward would be more on the agenda but apparently not. B: LEVER, MAY, JETTA

HB: HIBBERD, KEATH, HORE not bad.

Tom Morris is taking the [censored]. We’d be stupid to go after another key back when we clearly lack run and forwards.

it would seem absurd if we pick up keath

he's having an enormous year, but why oh why would we get ANOTHER tall key defender

In the last year of his contract?

Hopefully we are going after another slow contested ball winner too.

This has to be BS

unless we trade o Mac and frost for him, no deal

If this is true I hope Pert gets the review under way and makes appropriate changes to the FD before a dumb trade is made.

Has Keath suddenly become a six foot line-breaking speedster with elite precision kicking?
