Listening to Hannan on Trade Radio this morn, sounds like he left for opportunity, melb obviously told him he isnt locked into our best side. Kept saying things like, I believe my best footy is in front of me, I think I can get up the ground and play tall and small, also said he has the opportunity to play on the wing which he thinks he will be good at. Obviously We told him he is no wingman. Will always have that goal, good luck Mitch

Reports that his medical at the dogs today didn't go great

You need to watch that Ess game again, 2 were over the back. Im not as worried about his goal kicking as I am about pressure acts, tell me how many tackles he had in those two games. Il help you out, you only need one hand. And 7 all up from his 6 games. If your playing as a small fwd thats not good enough. Especially for someone who has pace. He is a good kick for goal but a horrible, horrible field kick. Not bagging his goal kicking, but he is a back up, im happy to be proven wrong and hope I am. But his 7 years at AFL to me has shown where he is at.

Smith should be delisted. Fritsch is our HFF and the other for our rotating mids. Hunt is an over the back goal kicker, he will not get any better, he is basically the same mould as Hannan. 1 in 4 player. Good one week missing the next 3

And Viney

Marty Hore is also a player who can play on talls and smalls. Missed all 2020 with injuries but was a shining light in a poor 2019

Thought he was SA, my bad

Harmes and ANB are both South Aussies and the right age bracket for the crows

Lever May Hibberd Salem Tomlinson Rivers Langdon Viney Phillips Harmes* Jackson Fritsch Pickett Brown Weidemen Gawn Petracca Oliver Brayshaw, Hore, Spargo, Lockhart *Rotating Mid

Wasn't me who said that. I wouldn't have Hunt or melksham in our b22. We are shocking by foot going inside 50, we shoukd be going hard at phillips. Or polec. Hunt has been at the club for 7 years now. He is what he is, handy depth but that's it. Smith shouldn't have been given another contract

No chance of holding his salary, with De'Goey, Mihochek, daicos and a few others to sign still. As well as the reported players they are keen on.

Agree, although I dont rate Hannan or Hunt as pressure fwds. Kossie is a lock with Wied and fingers crossed a Ben Brown or the likes of, Frictsh and im guessing LJ. Which leaves one spot which needs to be a rotating mid. Trac, Oliver, viney, harmes, bray

Phillips is a great player, the fact he has been in Coll best 22 for the bast 4+ years shows something. He should be our target ahead of Smith and Polec. He is the right age, can still work on weak areas of his game and is the outside run and carry we need. Should shoot straight to the top of our recruitment list. His disposal is good, not great and not bad.

Offer him and Hunt for picks, which we should chuck at Collingwood for Phillips, who should be top priority. Close second being Brown/Cameron/Hogan/Mihochek. We don't need Hannan and Hunt. We have Melksham, Fritcsh, Smith, Vanders, Harmes who can play that role.

https://amp.theage.com.au/sport/afl/demons-hannan-on-western-bulldogs-trade-radar-20201014-p5651k.html?__twitter_impression=true I like Hannan as a depth player, but is the exact type of player we should move on if the deal is right. Will find it hard to fit into our best 22 if we recruit another FWD.

Think we are to tall without him though. Weid, LJ, Brown, Fritsch, Trac. Means we onky have 1 small fwd. Spargo's best is very good. But his worst is bad! Kinda sounds familiar as a dees supporter.

I completely forgot about the parade and of course Trac's Brownlow celebrations.

LJ needs to play, but got a Bye before finals Gawn would be fine!

Out: Melksham, Smith, and someone In: Jones, Harmes, LJ Put harmes in and send him straight to Kelly! Jones on HF has been good this year, just dont put him behind the ball or somewhere his pace can be exposed! Other option is Hore, who i think is a much better version than Smith, but 0 football for 18 months probably doesnt bode well for him. Jackson needs to come in, if we were lucky enough to get through, Eagle backline is depleted, recon having Weid hold out a Key Def and Fritcsh take a Mcgovern out wide will allow LJ a run at it and Brown to work up the ground as an option, allowing Max to play his kick behind the play role. Unfortunately we have put ourselves in this position about making finals which is a shame, because if ever you want to play Eagles in a Perth final now is the time!

Football isnt his issue!

In - Hibberd, Harmes and LJ if fit Out - Nev, Melksham and Hunt

God it be good to have all tgese kids playing in the same side and hearong those names in the commentary again!

Very good option, hadn't even thought of him. Needs a good mentor like a hibberd or may. Has massive upside and coll can't expect too much for him after dropping him like 4 times throughout the season. At tge right price could be a great get!

Exactly why im saying a couple more pre-seasons and he will be a serious player

Agree, but repeat it over 4 quarters is what I mean. Like a Cyril, have 3-4 repeat efforts a quarter. Some to no avail. Couple more hard working pre-seasons and look out. Who knows he could also bulk up and be like his uncle Byron ???
