You'd need to throw up a name that implies value. Vlastuin would be worth considering.

We desperately need a CHF that can help Jack out. If Jack doesn't mark it inside 50, we don't mark it.
A guys that gives a contest is great but you need that and more to be a top side.

We must do whatever it takes to get someone in asap otherwise we will waste the star that Jack is.

Barrett reckons Brodie Grundy's contract talks have stalled....rather trade a first round pick for him than Schache....

Think he and Nank could partner up or both of them too much of a genuine ruck?

Grundy is under-utiliised by Buckley as a forward IMO, they'd be a more than handy combo.

We really need to replenish our KPP stocks, Tregrove and areid as free agents because they will cost us nothing and then go to the draft with our two first round picks and grab some tall talent.
This years draft is meant to be top end with KP players so let's make the most of it.

I hope we trade back into the draft for even more picks...ideally another first rounder but failing that, we also don't have any second round picks this year so a couple of them would be handy whats apparently supposed be a lot shallower draft than last year...there's also the points we'll likely need for Naish who's tipped as a late second/early third at this stage but whose stocks could rise between now & then ...the rookie situation is interesting too as 4 of the 5 incl.Soldo are all tracking very well....though there's strong talk the AFL will scrap the rookie list next year in favour of one expanded list so at least we wouldn't need to create list space to use on any elevations...

Any word on kieran Collins ? I liked the look of him in the draft, I believe the doggies got him. Don't think he's getting games. Worth a look ?
