Sounds blunt to me.

Interesting....

I wonder what Brisbane would want for him?

'Lachie Hunter reaching a settlement on 2025 contract'

Remind me?

[Timothy Reddan-A'Blew 4,949]

Two Harrys, then?

And 'harry': 'Persistently carry out attacks (on an enemy or an enemy's territory)'

That'll do me.

That's what I thought. Why the heck would he have got a 3 year contract?

Not like a journo to get the facts wrong in haste...

It might’ve been a 2 year deal with a trigger that he reached in year 1, but yep, welcome to Melbourne list management. Everyone gets at least a year they don’t deserve

We all thought it was 2 years, but the list management pinned thread (which is fantastic) has a bit of chatter that it was three years due to a trigger of some sort.

Either way, he is off the list which is a great result.

[DeeSpencer 25,244]

His VFL highlights has some really nice kicks on both sides but it’s not a strength from what I’ve seen of him at afl level. Not a lot of power in his game, great endurance but not the fastest.

He’d be wing/high half forward depth and good players who excel defensively in those roles aren’t easy to find. I suggested Ned McHenry because that’s how hard it is to find super hard runners with any talent at all.

Nibbler wasn’t Nibbler for a very long time in his career either remember. 

Contracted, you’d want Brisbane to do the right thing and let him go for a bag of chips.

I wonder if this means Windsor moves to half back and mid rotation. Very interesting move.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,607]

Hunter signed a 5 year contract prior to the 2019 season with the Dogs to take him through to the end of 2023.

Therefore we either extended his contract by 2 further years when he came across to us at the end of 2022 or his solid 2023 season set off a trigger.

As for Sharp, his PB at AFL level is an 18 possession 1 goal game against the Suns earlier this year and he also had a 19 possession 3 goal game in one of the VFL finals just gone.

He’ll be right at home. Bring him in, fellas!

Because both Sharp and Derksen are contracted we may have to pay overs for them maybe 37 for Sharp and 45 for Derksen.

Windsor will never play half back. 
Will go straight into the centre to direct our connectivity to our forward line. 
Sharp Bowey could play wing even Pup Brown possibly though I think  he could end up as an on baller or half forward. 

[dazzledavey36 53,809]

Don't mind this.

One of the fittest players going around in the competition and one thing he does bring is quick ball movement and speed.

He's actually a bit like Ed Langdon in that he'll hit a target 30m up the field and then follow up again with a hand pass and reset again.

He's contracted though, I hope Brisbane aren't similar to Dersken.

I also like this because he's still only 21 so there's lot of growth and improvement left unlike the past recruits who've had of recent.

Still plenty and growth and development left, and knows, could have a Toby Bedford breakout season hopefully.

Do you think he'd be a decent replacement for ANB? We're going to miss his gutrunning and goal-sense.

Yes I do. He's a genuine gut runner.

This to me is a smart potential trade. On the cusp of their best 22 but held out through their depth of midfield. Vic boy. Strong runner. Wont cost the earth and at 21 potential upside in development and potentially fills holes in list left by ANB and Hunter.

And sounding like Lions open to it. Suppose Ashcroft and others in and Coleman and McCarthy back helps.

[Gorgoroth 12,843]

Will this cost us the ANB pick or a third rounder?
