Anyone got any ideas on key backs that may be available for us to poach from other clubs at years end?
Or even a decent one is a lower level?
As we all know we are at least one decent ready made kpd short.
Surely they won't put us through another season of Lady Chappy
-
Hurley, Hooker :shh
-
Need to see who is out of contract at season's end.
No point getting Hurley if he's going to cost more than $700k/year. It will take so much of our salary cap and he'll only delay the inevitable slide down to another rebuild.
IMHO we should do a bit of a rebuild now. Trade out Cotchin, Lids, B. Ellis, Conca, Griffiths, Vickery, Batchelor, Houli, Grigg.

Yeah thanks Richo....don't let's dare offer decent money to decent players...

Hurley a gun. Grab him in a heartbeat at 700k

Agree with most of this

I would be scouting the hawthorn list pretty hard:
K Brand 198cm 92kg Defender
S Tatupu 197cm 100kg Forward
L Surman 195cm 85kg de
T O'Brien 193cm 84kg Forward
K Heatherley 193cm 89kg Defender
A Litherland 192cm 88kg Defender
D Willsmore 191cm 83kg Forward
R Burton 191cm 90kg Forward
D Howe 191cm 83kg Defender
As astbury and grimes are hardly reliable. Chaplin is a poor excuse for a dirty big girls blouse. Elton and McBean are out of favour with our intelligently challenged spiritual leader mr hardwick
-
Hurley
End
Agreed with this.
Rance. Grimes. Hurley would provide the foundation Of a backline good enough to build a successful football club
If we get the talks right the like of deledio yarren c Ellis vlastuin Menadue martin and co will benefit
Sadly with the lack of upside in Morris and hunt a 'lock down', back pocket still looks like it's missing from the mid under seven year of mr hardwick list management alon with a Hurley

Norf
B McKay 199cm 91kg Defender
S Durdin 198cm 88kg Defender
J Tippett 197cm 91kg Defender
D Nielson 194cm 92kg Defender
A Black 192cm 90kg Forward
How can it be other sides bat deep and have options in the reserves
When after seven years of mr hardwick we hae rance and nothing else?

Hurley

Pretty simple really.
Pay him what it takes, all the good teams can make it work.

Same reason we only have Hamspud as our only other ruck option.
But never fear because we have good old Sir Francis of Jackson scouring the country to find us "skillful" players that can kick sideways and backwards better than any other in the draft, whilst lord Blair of Hartley is thoroughly checking all players on every teams list to find us just the right fit of wannabe hacks that no other team wants. We should give them both a 10 year extension on their current contracts. :clapping

What is the go with Hurley's contract next year?
Does he get to walk if he wants to due to all this drug crap?
Anyone know?

He's allowed to walk. We can get him but we'll end up with Pears. :gotigers

Not many blokes are going to want to leave that club the way they just smashed the Hawks. Would still be taking a good look you're right...

Apparently the gws reserve team got a bit of go

Would it not be nice to see
C moore
Elton
McBean
Broad
Astbury
Getting a game instead if Chaplin the ape

I've seen enough of Astbury TBH.
But the other four I would like to see.
My opinions right now are that McBean is lazy, Broad isn't a good footballer, Moore and Elton who knows.
But Griff and Vickery are so stuffing SOFT they're 200cm/100kg and can't even deck a bloke like that Ben Stratton who is more than 10cm shorter and 10kg lighter.
It's pathetic and sickening.
Is it too much to ask the club to draft a big angry KP player who will smash packs and wrestle bunnies?
-
I'm all in for the Hurley and Durdin double. Move on Vickery, Griffiths & Chaplin. I hate thinking about the idea that Deledio could play for another club but I would seriously look at trading him to North for Durdin and a late first round pick. We need to look froward and North would jump at this trade IMO.
-
Thoughts on Patton?

Fair point. Do we have a "key forward from other club" thread?

we dont have the guts to do something like that :thumbsdown

I think we do in all sincerity... Josh Jenkins kicked 8 yesterday and is out of contract
We have talent: jack. Deledio. Cotchin Edwards. And some good kids. Lennon rioli. But Richmond are lacking a key forward
Time to go Vickery and Griffiths ... Should trade out
The doggies were very brave to pay over for a very highly talented young forward
-
I' be offering Jenkins some good money to come over. Have liked the look of him for years now. Very quick on the lead and can ruck reasonably well too. Big upgrade on the likes of Vickery and Griffiths!

People will laugh but i suggested we take Lachlan Keefe with a very late nd pick last yr.I felt he was just coming into his own when he got suspended.I also thought Michael Hartley was worth giving a go along with Marcus Adams . Bit late now i suppose.
KPD depth can be built up and it doesnt have to be with just big name recruits.
Maybe we could prise one of Corr or Marchbank out of GWS. Tomlinson could play kpd as well.Tomlinson and Corr it seems have struggled a bit this year.

Tomlinson would be a great get but I wouldnt play him in defence I'd put him on the ball.
Has a big tank and loves the hard stuff,reckon he'd be a great big bodied onballer.
I'd also enquire for Scully too for the mids has really come on this year and is another with a big tank, an area which is sorely needed at our club IMO.
-
I thought Elton had a big tank and was very mobile when we recruited him. He grew a bit more and they have made him a KPP. It would be an interesting experiment to put him on ball in the seconds. A 197cm mid. Just to try something different.
Why not? Anything is worth a try. You have nothing to lose but you have a lot to gain.

Unfortunately we have a coach who's only creative instinct is to take talent out of preferred positions and throw them in the backline.

Remember when we tried Rance on the ball. Unfortunately it almost never works

Is he fit enough? I hear he struggled.
Is anyone fit enough at the RFC? :rollin

Just looked at his draft bio. His main weapon was he was an athletic freak.

Rance is a pure defender and pretty much our entire backline!
Tomlinson is more your utility type and people think because he's 190+cm that he's a KPP.
He's a top performer in the 3km trials since he's been with GWS so there's no doubting he has the tank to run out a game.

More a reference to Elton.

Patton is playing CHB

Patton is playing CHB
Didn't look out of place down back either,interesting to see if they keep playing him back there.
Definitely is the right size and age and is more than capable in the forward line.

Yeah he looked ok from what i saw. The encouraging thing was, i saw him stop and prop and do some sharp turns last night which is something hes been scared to do so far this year (understandably). Reckon by seasons end we'll see him start hitting some good form as confidence in his body returns

Tomlinson, Corr, Marchbank from GWS.
