Paddy Cross it is

He might turn out to be a good choice, but at this stage imo he is clearly a talent choice over need, but as always in JT I trust.

I think the delay in announcing the Luker Kenterfield prognosis is a factor here. Fingers crossed, but if it's not promising and he gets put on the club's inactive list, the club has two decisons to make. Ah-Mu and Cross would suddenly emerge as the main contenders.

Does anyone actually believe if we add Ah-Mu or some other key forward they are genuinely going to be an afl option this season? I highly doubt it.

I think if Ah Mu gets a chance at some stage, it will be to have him for the future, as he clearly needs AFL development.

However he is a bull of a kid, with some talent, who if he improved, is a ruck/key forward type, who has just incidentally, got a talented, younger, taller and faster brother, who is in our NGA, not that it is the reason you would look at Tairon.

I agree with you, I wouldn’t mind Ah-Mu on the list as a rookie. My post was more in relation to people saying we need a key forward as our stocks have taken a hit there. It’s highly unlikely whoever we would pick up would play anyway.

Doesn’t matter at the moment now as we signed Paddy Cross, so look forward to seeing how he does.

Just a question can we still recruit a player if we have any player goes on the long term injury list.

We could via the mid-season draft, SSP signing period is now closed.

Anyone know why the Tiges didn't stick with Blight? I suppose he was mature age when they took him.

Balta, Miller, Gibcus, Trainor, Vlastuin, Broad, Gray mainly the reason he and Tylar Young were pushed out, list balance.

Agree blight showed some signs.

Hopefully cross proves his worth, i think similarly to henderson it will be obvious early on whether he has it or he doesnt at the next level. given his age i think he probably has secured himself 2 years on the list and a full pre-season, we're pretty lenient when other clubs like cats/pies know in 12 months and move on

How is it a big risk 😂 ? He’ll be on a rookie contract, last player on the list, we’re not giving him 5 years at 5 mill

Every skit spot is valuable and if he breaks down we’re a player short
