Our ruck remedy

[Nasher 33,607]

I'd rather we pursued someone like Mitch Thorp from the Hawks anyway. Wonder how many oppportunities he'll be getting at the Hawks behind Buddy and Roughead.

Hawks don't want to give him up

Hawks have Roughead, Buddy and Boyle as key forwards, with Jarryd Morton named on the emergency for another week so surely he's the next key forward in line for selection.

Mitch Thorp and Beau Dowler are both key forwards who were top10 draft picks... hawks have a good future.

maybe we could nab one of them...though it would probably cost a top draft pick and wouldn't rly be worth that

Don't be surprised to see Dowler come in as a backman, as for Thorp I've heard he's a no hoper as a defender.

Could possibly see Roughead go back if Thorp breaks into the side, or even play 4 talls (they're all pretty mobile so that wouldn't be as much of an issue).

Haven't seen Morton but if he's like Cale could be a midfielder (as opposed to a forward)

Thorp is out of contract this year and might be looking for opportunities elsewhere, and we may just have PSD pick #1. If it's apparantly not far fetched to nab Warnock with that pick, why's it so far fetched that we could get Thorp?

Other clubs will be after him?

Peter Street (WB) is out of contract come season end. Get him i recon

[rpfc 28,261]

If we get Street it will be a pretty shallow PSD...

[Jarka 767]

If the status quo continues we'll receive the 1st pick in the psd draft, we will also have a plethora of guys retiring so we should have a heap of room in the salary cap to splash around, so there's no reason why we can't convince someone to nominate.

We're lucky because there's several interstate clubs struggling so the go home factor may come into play, also with the Hawks and Geelong so strong there's a chance that someone on the fringe of selection may see an opportunity elsewhere.

This year will be our best chance to get someone talented, it will be very interesting to see how Bailey & co approaches the rest of the season.

[sylvinator 96]

If we convinced Mitch Thorp to go into the PSD that would be absolutely genius.

This kid is future superstar and would already be playing regularly at FF/CHF if it weren't for Hawthorn's rediculously amazing KPPs.

he would fit in perfectly as a future replacement for Neitz

What's the big deal about Robert Warnock. He can't even get into the Fremantle side - Warnock left out of Freo squad again

He's only 2 inches shorter than Sandilands at 206cm and you can't (especially Freo) afford to have two monoliths in the one side. Promising ruckman, we should go after him.

But not with a top 25 pick.
