  1. I wouldn't be.. FA or RFA ?
  2. FD might be Recruitment will be looking past that
  3. The way a lot of contracts run i don't know cap space will factor for 2-3 years. Theres a window to get 'filler' types as FA etc for the interim. Interesting times await at end of season.
  4. Rather surprised Hulett is on many's list for chop. A bit early maybe. Harry finally leaves our hallowed halls... following his physical self who may or may not ever been here Trenners must surely be facing crunch time. I really wish him well. A fine exponent of self belief and application. Respect this fellow. BK must be doubtful starter in 18. A number may get offers, ( to move ) JKH...Kent. AVB may or may not be seen as depth. I could see Bernie staying another year. The question...how many spots do we need ? Might dictate who goes...when.
  5. Had a few handy types over the years.....may that continue. Cheers Ash.
  6. you may be right....but he's playing at the wrong place atm.. That's many a's view !!

    At least twice I believe OD
  9. Lever is a class above omac...just is. Has a little mongrel...i like that Different player to oscar
  10. Id go one further They only expert at providing stats in line with their metrics. Some are absolutes. Marks kicks handballs. Frees Many are subjective. Tackles, kicking efficiency and the like. They provide numbers. Not overly interested in numbers.
  11. I agree. Despite my frustrations Omac may well morph into a handy regular defender. I think hes better off developing as opposed struggling. A Mackenzie type would provide a fillip but i still see what he would bring and what Omac might provide as different roles. If we are indeed (as a club) seeing the FB role being an inhouse development ( whoever it may be ) then a fillip is ideal. If our strategy requires a FB player outright then Id definitely look a Lever. Taylor and Co seem good at finding players. Will be interesting to see where we go on this .
  12. Might depend on whether we are looking short term or longer term
  13. More a spoonful Its just data ppl spruiking their wares. Lever is more than handy , you just have to observe. Those folk that make a coin from snake oil mathematics have self interest at stake and is always handy for them to roll out whatever fits on the day. I quite like Lever....for HOW he plays.

    Phew..... thought youd called me that 'T' name... That would be a very bad thing

    Those that might know of its use probably don't need it. Those that do need it don;t know they need it and so don't avail themselves of its value.

    Worked flat out !

    in all fairness to anyone.....neither did he !!
  18. I don't think it's doom and gloom at all. Yes weve played been unsettled down there. Were a bit unsettled everyw currently. To md the defence is close...but not quite there. For want of a bettet description lets call the missing man FB. We just dont have for mine a aviable one. Tom when supported plays the Half Back ok. Still has some issue but with Hibberd Hunt and Frost he's better. Jetta plays the Jetta role. Oscar and Frost for mine are the sharers of that role. The FB role i think is unfilled. Fill it.. we're a serious wall.
  19. Oscar may or may not develop into a decent defender. Thats years off at best... currently he's just not that good and in deep defence is often the weakest link. That just is....it might be different in later 2018/2019 How many games do ppl want to lose ? Not because of Oscar but because we're playing underdeveloped types in various positions . Let them develop and FORCE their way in. Lets improve the list ,lets better our bottom ganeday 6. Lets plug gaps with quality rtr.
  20. The caveat is ..though ostensibly we play zone the game still requires you to physically man up at times. THIS is often when we bleed goals This HAS to change
  21. Have no problem looking elsewhere. If anything our track record suggests we wont go shopping in main st, not unless someone drops by for a coffee. We have a sort of missing man/ missing link to our preferred setup. something like Hibberd Tmac Hunt Jetta PosVac. Frost Get the right bloke that becomes a lot more than servicable. Im not that fussed...as long as whoever it is can hold down that role.
  22. I think there are many that appreciate May and Lever types are BETTER defenders. Our defence needs to get better if we're to compete at top 4 level.

    Oliver should probably make a brilliant Chess Player. He has a rare ability. Not only is he sublime of physical attributes but he can project where other ought to be , even before they seem to know lol. Very few ppl can read the play at his level.
  24. The rumours have us linked ( or liking )Lever. Lyon wants us to get May
