Yeah, I'm not so convinced. Sanders seems to lack the explosive pace you need to be a top liner. Great accumulator and incredibly consistent though.

Can't be true surely... Probably double what we are paying May.

Think whoever gets him will get a player. He did miss two games leading up to the Championships because of illness and his highlight reel may have suffered accordingly. What I like about him is his preparedness to get stuck in, earn the contested ball, tackle, shepherd, etc. Maybe he won't be a forward but could run through the midfield like Cripps? That's an enticing prospect.

So we are left with three draft picks now? (6, 11 and 42)? And how many rookie spots are left? Assume we take Pup Brown at 42?

Based on the posting history of some Demonlanders, reckon we could have a few candidates! Then there are our Amsterdam-based posters and their international network!

Young? He's 28! Anyway, let's see if he can at least get on the park. He seems to have broken every part of his body over the past decade.

Oh well! Let's see if he can get on the park. Might plug a gap here and there but my expectations are low. He won't solve our goalkicking woes but might be a handy link in the chain.

How bad is the Weagles list management if he is contracted for another two years at 800k? He's done. Has been for two seasons.

Norf have to go tall, right?

Not surprised we are impressed with Watson. The question given the make up of our team is can we afford another 170cm player? Spargo, Bowie, Laurie, Viney, Kozzie, etc. I want a 188cm connector with good skills overhead, long, raking kicks that can earn his own ball.

Elite speed is so captivating. Decent disposal as well. And I have a thing for left arm leggies!

Norf have it in the bag. But it says a fair bit about the lack of key position talent that they are prepared to add yet another midfielder.

Twomey reckons he has Nate Fyfe qualities. Big call!

On the surface it looks a lot to give up. But you can only assume there is a bigger plan in place.

Could be a cheap option but I think you would need to do an extra thorough medical. This guy is made of glass!

Dunstan didn’t play a game. Harmes was woeful while JJ struggled. I don't think it's a big hole at all.

True, but personally I like the blooding of kids like McVee, Woewodin, JvR, etc. Add Howes to that next year.

Signing him to a five year deal wasn't perhaps the smartest move. Form in last two year, in particular, has been dreadful. We have an emotional attachment because he was a Melb supporter growing up, but if we are going to get better we need to find alternatives.

Sort of agree with your last paragraph. Our ball carriers in the midfield are not as good as Collingwood, Brisbane or GWS. Then again our first dibs midfielder are the envy of most teams. You can have different strengths. It would be good to have one or two additional line breaking mids/wingers in the mould of Whitfield, Coleman, Daicos, etc. Guys that can pinpoint 50 metre kicks to beat the zone.

Hasn't looked properly fit for a couple of years. Looked great in his first year. Might be a bargain for the Bombers.

Can we postpone it? 😀

What is happening to our club? Faaaark!

Of which the forwards coach can influence maybe only one...

Given the two options WC or us he has to choose West Coast, right? Barnett is still two years away and he can walk into a first ruck position. A shame.

Lions lost because they lacked dare.
