Vanders...

I would add CS & the board to that list...

Thankfully...

I'm not a fan, has some good games but falls into the category of athlete not footballer for me.

I reckon Brayshaw, Tyson & Petracca for a start...but time will tell.

I rate him as a good hard at it ball getter, he reads the ruck contests well but his kicking is all over the place at the moment. Do we need another hard inside mid?

That might be the case. I think it more important that we are not after Melksham if he is part of the WADA case. It doesn't take a footy expert to figure it wouldn't be a good move to recruit him if he was. Don't remember significant criticism, maybe some reasonable discussion on whether we should have taken a kid with his pick. There was more criticism of the 'H' trade, and so far that is hardly a winner. At least on ground.

They always have a 2nd ruck so don't need him to pinch hit but he has a lot of talent. Anyway, as I say I was just thinking aloud. Freo will have to give up something if they want to get McCarthy... I don't think we need a ruck/forward, we do need a forward who can pinch hit in the ruck.

Totally agree...

Taberner...wonder if we will get involved in the move to get McCarthy to Freo. They won't have enough currency unless they give up a player or 2 but GWS will need picks to satisfy their academy bids. Just thinking out loud.

I think this one will have some surprises at the top end. Instead of Hogan & Cameron we might have a few Ace Cordy's...

With Fitz being moved on and Dawes maybe on the trade table if rumours are correct we will definitely be in the market for a tall forward/ruck... I don't think this is the one but am interested to see what we do over the trade period.

Very amusing...

If he is one of the players involved in the WADA case then we can't look at him. It's really that simple for me.

Not slow 'George', but has yet to find a place as you say.

You don't think Dom Tyson would have the same valuable information???

He's lost it more times than just this year 'steve', you can refuse all you like. Yes he has talent and speed but his kicking is either not so good or lazy at times and he has absolutely no idea when the ball is in the air. He's not what we need but could be an asset in a team like the Tiges where he won't be relied on as much.

Forget Yarran 'steve', if you are worried about sook factor & bad attitude then he has it in spades. Neither of the rucks you mention are forwards, both need the number one role so unless you want Max back at Casey then a no for them. Love 'Stevie J', one of the most enjoyable players to watch since Jurrah left the game but I'm not sure he brings leadership.

He's become a valuable player for us now. Can play forward, drop back when we need an extra, play across the middle and a very good 3rd man up. He will only get better from here on, I hope it's with us.

Out of that list Watts has the most value by far, I would keep him...but, you can never say never.

Nice move by Carlton... The Gibbs Cup, the Kruezer Cup, the Schache Cup... Not sure but isn't there a common thread here? now what is it....ummmm ...and another unrelated question...who is the Chairman of the AFL? which club did he play for? it's some guy that stands for integrity, good manners and ....it's just not coming

Underrated by the EFC fans but I reckon he's ok but probably not in the age profile we're now after.

Was thinking along similar lines the other day 'Chaser'. Always worth asking the question...

Tomlinson took Dawes to the cleaners when they played against each other last year...

Bring his brother to Melbourne 'Mach' and then they can be close... Although KK is supposed to have a big overs offer from Brisbane so that is more likely.
