The issue is Dan Houston is contracted, whereas Jacko wasn't.
If he is hellbent on leaving then often a club will eventually get the deal done, but there will e a fair bit of haggling in this one I'd say.
He's a mate of mine and is nothing like Sam McClure.
He is a genuienly good journo who always triple checks his info and doesn't make outlandish claims
Ahhhh Schwarz, maybe help us trade JVR for King hey? I don’t think drinking our bath water is the issue atm. The lack of senior talent on the list is the issue.
We all know a back up ruck is an absolute must this off season, so I'm keen to get people's thoughts on who we could target.
Some names that we can potentially look at:
- Liam Reidy from Fremantle - 204cm and 24 years old. Given they have Darcy and Jackson on long term deals his chance of playing are basically zero. Could we look to entice him over noting this?
- Tim English - if he genuienly looking at leaving could we get him in to play more forward next year or two and then be full time ruck once Gawn retires? Unlikely I would think but maybe worth thinking about.
- Hamish Free from North - 203cm and 26 years old behind Xerri. Don't think he would be great but maybe worth it as a back up?
Would love to know any others but we really need to replace Schache's spot on the list with a genuine back up ruck
