Wouldn't mind trying to land Liam Ryan with one of our 2nd round picks (if he is still there). He is a livewire up forward and has improved his fitness base, so he clearly is hungry for a shot in the big league.

You need to play 8 years at a club before you qualify for FA status. By signing with us, Lever's FA status has gone back to year 0.

Unless Crows want to give us their 1st round (pick 16), then they'll need to bring in another pick somehow (possibly Lions pick 18 or 19 for Charlie Cameron)

Well that makes them a team full of pretenders with a premiership

nope

That's generally what happens when someone doesn't play.

Effectively Watts, pick 10 and 27 for Lever. That is way too much, unless we get something decent back as well.

so long as it is not pick 88

Didn't realise, good pick up then DeeSpencer!

F/S bidding happens before trade week opens

What was the first one Kurt?

And how they sooked it up big time last year when they weren't wanting to pay too much for Gibbs. Hypocrites. It's well known in industry circles that when it comes to trading, we play fairer than most.

hope we front end the crap out of it, so that we'll have enough for the likes of Petracca, Oliver and co

We should trade our pick 10&27 for picks 16&17, then give those to the Crows, see how they will like that, greedy [censored]!

Rivers was a similar p[ayer who intercepted countless attacks forward. We could do with one of him in our back line.

good to see he's got wood for being with the Dees

either that or BF.

What we want and what we'd get are 2 completely different things. And no, i don't think Jones is worth a first rounder either (age the obvious reason)

Too much for Gibbs, he's turning 30 next year.

no chance. Top 20 for sure, probably top 15

All well and good Clint, but what if no classy mid wants to come to us this year? Take them while you can get them.

Our list is young enough that improvement should be an occurrence through natural development and experience, but i agree that can only take us so far. If we want to get involved in the deep end of September, we're going to need as much A-grade talent (or as close to) that we can get our hands on.

I see him as a Rivers type, floating back/across to intercept the ball. Be that as it may, we don't have a decent one of those (nor would i say that we have a good 1v1 KPD). Given there are no "good" 1v1 defenders on the market atm, i'd be happy to bring him in. You never turn down the chance to land a quality player. I'd also be going hell for leather for Tom Lynch (who comes off contract next year) - Him and Hogan up forward would be supremely better than Hogan, Watts and Weideman.

We need as many uncompromising mids that we can get our hands on. Too many on our list pick and choose when they want to perform.

Well if today is anything to go by, Lever can't get here fast enough. Our backline is getting hammered.
