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.

I think Ollie is done anyway. Too many years of bash and crash and finds it hard to stay injury free. Could imagine why Port don't want to pay him big bucks any more.

Think JJ did a number of tagging jobs this year.

Not going to give them away on a fan forum! However, my brother knows a few people at Hemisphere Management...

I kinda like it! Sure he looked ordinary at times in his seven games this year but maybe we think he is ready? Certainly has the build maybe not the tank. And maybe our attitude is if you're going to go for a tall forward why not get the most talented youngster out there? Invest in the best?

Not sure if mentioned, but apparently we're into Aaron Cadman! Contracted to the end of 2024 if that means anything.

To be fair, he didn't have much to work with. Houston had a good year but the rest of the backline, including the overrated Allir Allir are strugglers. Forward line lacks quality personnel as well. Bit like our supporters blaming Stafford for our forward woes when we can't get our forwards on the park. And when we do, the mids sit it on the forwards heads.

If I was Norf I'd put some pressure on the Dogs and see if they want to give up a first rounder for father son, Jordan Croft, another tall.
