Agree with most in here. I hope we are having a good look at Giles.

Will take a 3 year deal on over $350k to land big J Giles - could have drafted him instead of Derickx

Clinton Young??? 2 year deal?

I doubt Giles will want to come to a club where he is the back up ruckman. We will need to do some sweet talking ;D

Why would he be a back up? If he came here and performed better during pre-season than Maric then he should start the year as #1 ruck.

Position battle NFL style ;D

2 years for $250k a year would be good.

No need to be considered or played as a back up ruckman.  Cox and Nic Nat don't wear that hat and both are very damaging and important to team structure in their own way.  Giles can go forward-ish when not on the ball, Maric can drop back-ish.  Extra tall option at both ends stiffens our zones up significantly I would think.

Tredrea on MMM claims Lewis Jetta was in Adelaide right as Sydney and Adelaide are in talks to reach an agreement that would see ex-Crow Kurt Tippett become a Swan.

Caddy deal tipped to get done today. Geelong in the box seat.
