He's very meh to my eye, but look, we are now scraping the bottom of the barrel for much needed speed in our forward 50.

Just yuck.

Who was bloody Basil after all? Was that Elliott? And pipe down a moment, Ethan.

Can anyone tell me, particularly Western Australians, what they think of Deven Robertson, please?

I like it. Lockhart showed a good goal sense as evidence by that clip. But I think we need more speed in our forward 50. And more x factor. Lockhart is the sort that might kick 20 next year.

Yep, second round picks have been pretty good for our best 22 in the last few years.

Gee, Dwayne is a [censored], isn't he? Just couldn't help having a little barb at us right at the end.

Yeah, I reckon he's competing with Weideman for the second tall role.

Depends what we pay and who he keeps out of the side.

Uhoh. Yeah, Membrey is probably a worse option. Anyway, whinge, whinge, whinge.

Brown and McDonald would actually be a very good tandem, but I doubt it's Brown.

Yep, that nails it. It's Bruce. Yeah, very meh, IMO. But anyway. He's a stopgap option, not a long term option IMO. I'd prefer we try recruiting a couple of quick smalls to compliment Melksham, Frisch, Hannan and Petracca.

Didn't someone post the other day saying that we've targeted a key forward from another team who is basically pretty ordinary. I think @DeeSpencer asked the right question. Is it someone we should be excited about or is it the struggler?

Right. So you want to comment on the market, without any knowledge of the market, and you want us to take you seriously?

What are you talking about? How much did Collingwood pay for Treloar? Essendon for Shiel and Richmond for Prestia? Strawman argument.

A lack of speed has been consistently shown to have no effect on a player's ability to get enough of the ball if they're good enough. Sam Mitchell and Priddis were both slow, but used to win the ball for fun. It's all about positioning and game sense. Jack wasn't that good. Like Scully, a really disappointing 1-2 punch. Particularly as it's turned out Martin is a star.

Interesting. If true, I'd keep Mitch. Depends what we get back in return though I suppose.

I know it's Bigfooty, but someone over on the Melbourne forums has posted that the Swans have requested a meeting with us. He/she claims it could be Papley related. Intriguing development if true.

Trengove couldn't find the ball though. Despite what people said at the time, and I loved Trenners too, he was a good decision maker and nice kick at his best, but was never going to make it because he couldn't find the ball at AFL level.

Much, much, much better player than Trengove, but there is certainly a downward trajectory based off a terrible year, but you could say that about most of the list and that would be foolish.

Yeah, maybe.

I like this idea. Would give us a bit of run off half back. Depends on the price though.

My point was our strategy probably should have been to say he's not coming if that's the case. Even do a Hawthorn and say we never offered anything. But, I've gone back on knocking Mahoney here. It's all good. It's really small in the scheme of things and not worth even pointing out.

Football is politics these days. Especially at this time of year, but you're probably right.

Haha, I don't have the dreaded MFCSS. Mahoney has never laid his cards out before without knowing the answer to the question being asked. I did say in this thread over the weekend that there may be an ulterior motive for mentioning contract length. Look, it probably doesn't matter to be honest...
