Theres been a few whispers on here that supposedly we are into Max Heath from St Kilda.

205xm ruckman who can also rest up forward and take a strong contested mark.

Watched him closely today against North and he was pretty impressive.

Played just his 3rd AFL game and had 10 disposal, 4 marks and kicked 2.2 and 9 hitouts as a resting ruckman.

Not only would he take over from Gawn but it would mean that JVR could focus full time on his forward craft.

Big unit also..

Didn’t hear, who’s the source of the info? If it’s Tom Morris, it’s rubbish.

I heard John Donohoe mention this on SEN today during the St Kilda game.

Has it come up anywhere else?

Someone on here mentioned something similar in terms of hearing it from SEN as well.

Not that I can recall?

What was the general discussion on SEN?

A needed part of the list. Will probably cost a 2nd round pick given he's a young ruck.

Only 22 as well.

is supposedly 'in discussions' to stay at the aints

seems strange given that they're bringing in tdk plus they still have marshall

They were talking about St Kilda going after TDK, and the flow on impact it might have with Marshall. Donohoe then mentioned that Marshall’s best football was when he played alongside Paddy Ryder, and that as a result he might want to stay, and that Max Heath instead might be looking elsewhere, and he mentioned that we’d been connected to him. Just dropped it into the sentence and they all moved on.

'Max'.

It's destined, surely.

How good would it be to have a successor to our unique colossus also named Max (even if his is only a shortie at only 205 cm). 🤗🤗🤗

One can always dream.

The more Max’ the merrier as far as I’m concerned

There is talk about Geelong (shock surprise) But I think he ends up staying at the Saints who want him to stay.

Won't necessarily stop him requesting a trade if feeling miffed. Tis how it rolls these days.

Yeh it was me, it was on a sunday night after a saints game i was leaving work and i think it was finey said it was a done deal essentially, completely blew my socks off as he said it with such confidence without any sort of murmurs previously, if u want to try for the audio i'd say go for the sunday final siren podcast from maybe r18?

The couple of days is how long it takes Tim Lamb to read it here and make a phone call

A perfectly reasonable option to consider.

Got to be all about the young rucks with a bit of versatility right now, because obviously nobody is going to go full 50/50 split with Gawn until he decides to switch it up and get his 10th All-Australian selection as a CHB just for the lols.

There's also one in the draft, but I've already forgotten the name.

It would be terrific fun to have a multiple versatile ruck options who have followed that old development path of establishing a game in another position.

Heath as Forward-ruck, K White as defender-ruck, and then Jackson comes back in as a roving midfield-ruck.

Wheeee.

I have decided not to be too serious about trade season until at least prelim finals.
