Trade Targets

[The Jackson FIX 2,975]

Hope we don’t deviate from our aim of landing a gun off half back. That’s our absolute priority in my eyes,  back the current frwd line in to improve with another year under their belt and better method off half back.
 

I know he is locked in for a few more years but I hope we’re poking around Lachie Ash. We’ve got the assets and cash to get something done.

FYI Membrey is only 188cm

agree he plays tall but he is a 3rd tall at best imo

We can't attract or don't want to attract a Tall forward on big money it seems.

I think people get a bit hung up on a tall being over 195cm,  the AFL has shown that if you have 2 talls that can't apply adequate pressure you will get rebounded on very easily.  This is why you can just go and get any tall fwd as JVR and Fritta aren't pressure players either.

Tough balancing act and i don't envy who has to make calls, bringing in another key fwd could see us lose a Turner/Petty/Jefferson

Harry Boyd 198cm Ruckman/ forward won the Magarey medal in the SANFL comp.

Suits us down to the ground.

Twiggy Rawlings is the coach of Norwood, Goody should be in dialogue with him asap if he already hasn't been.

We have to get creative this off season.

So some examples that would improve our list

* I'd be upgrading Fullarton with Harry Boyd.

* Membrey or Sam Day on average $$$ 

* A couple of recycled mids eg. Matthew Kennedy, Cumming

* Fast small forward Rosas.

He isn't a big body 

 

194cm is also generous

Do they need to be OOC? Doesn't seem to matter when other clubs come at our blokes...

You don't play hard ball with the Neale Bullens of the world

[Dee*ceiving 1,658]

plus,

Pickett 23 & 24? 

Petty in 23? 

Grundy to us in 22?

That's just related to our club in the last 2 years, heaps of other examples of (big name) contracted players being courted elsewhere. 

We've tried with Tom Lynch at least once too

Dan Currie just walked into my workplace (consultant). Tall lad, I can ask if he’s interested in joining MFC 😃

[adonski 11,358]

Macrae the most interesting player of the trade period. Only averaged 12% (!) CBA's this year.

Cooked? Bevo'd? Both?

[adonski 11,358]

Hope we do the Macrae/Daniel double for maximum melts

If only Lobb hadn’t have come into form late - we could have gone for the trifecta

He is on par with Trac for disposal efficiency over career

Unfortunately, that's a con not a pro.

Treacle slow one position player in a game increasingly demanding speed and spread.

Both are cooked. Seriously.  Answer is NO.  They are on big money with reduced output.  
Have we not learnt anything? 
Salary dump strategy of guys like Hunter & Billings is going backwards!!!

Was brought up in mid week tackle as a name to keep an eye on potentially.

Decent fit for us, 5 hammies in 12 months is a massive red flag though. Might help the Blues get Houston if they offload him. 

[Adam The God 29,850]

Nah, I was all for Cerra pre Carlton, but not only has he failed to live up to expectation Inhad on him, he's constantly injured.

The Carlton mid I'd like is Walsh, but he too has injury problems and they'd never let him go. He'd be perfect in our system.
