I'll go Hurley Prestia and Tomlinson, enough with the Micky mouse tigers this one eyed is real jack of what we've become.
New coach and recruiter(s) and a ruckman, but we blew that last year. What's around now?
-
To me it's seem obvious must #1 get Hurley before worrying about player two
-
I've always said Hurley must be the main target. Everyone else is a distant second.
Hurley and Rance would be awesome. The other thing about Hurley is that he is a fantastic kick and can hit targets 50m+ downfield turning defence into attack.
Yeah, Prestia would be a good addition too but we would need to give up a top 10 draft pick which will bite us down the track. I'd swap B Ellis for GWS's Tomlinson or even Jack Steele, both of whom are much tougher.
-
Turn Bellis into a tagger. Great engine to run with, doesn't have to worry about be the one getting ball just needs to be on the gun mids backside and if they move them forward can go with them and I would back him in a one on one marking contest.
We need a proper tagger.

I like the idea of Tomlinson for Ellis, however if we got Hurley ( v. unlikely as I see it) would we also trade in Tomlinson?
Prestia for top ten pick is questionable. Either way I'm unhappy - which means it must be a fair trade.
-
The goal surely this trade time has to be to free up the wasted cap space and use it on bringing quality players in even if it means paying overs.
Hurley has to be the number 1 target, I'd then be looking at trading for a mid if we still have our 1st in play.
I'd have O'meara at the top of that list ahead of likes of Crouch, Prestia, Mitchell
Tall's worth talking to - Jenkins,Wood,Patton & Tomlinson.
The other big focus for us is to target some picks to trade in and this is where the problem lies.
For to long has this club held on to middle of the road types that outsiders see as pretty decent footballers.
Move 'em on if the right pick is up for grabs and free up that coin to throw at a quality player.
Delist Chaplin to start with :chuck
Vickery,Griffiths,McBean,Astbury,B.Ellis,Conca,Batchelor, Edwards & Lennon can all get put on the table at trade time.
If Dan & Blair can't bring in at least 3 picks between 15- 30 at a bare minimum them stuff them off too!

What do you think the club should do Chucky?
It would be good to get an opinion from you (without the satire of course ;)).

Well that bit in brackets stuffed me right up, I've got nothing
One thing I do know though is that regardless how much the Whiney old moles bitch and moan is that the RFC will go on

True, but having "the RFC going on" near the bottom of the ladder, is something some of us want to not see too much more of before we leave this earth!

I'd actaully like them to see if they can get Longer fro mthe Saints to fill the issues we have with our ruck stocks. He's still young but been in the system a few years now, so can step right in (why they didnt try 2 years ago beggars belief). Dropped down the pecking order so would be looking for opportunities elsewhere
Ellis B for Longer would solve 2 problems ;D
-
My shopping list from a few weeks ago:
From GWS:
- Tomlinson
- Steel
From GCS:
- Prestia
- Nicholls
- Day
Tomlinson not getting a game. Steel apparently we're very keen on.
Prestia clearly wants out. Nicholls and Day unsigned and solid pickups for ruck and KPD/swingman.

Yep, we should definitely look at Longer. Any idea what his contact situation is?

According to this article, out of contract at the end of this season. They traded for him end of 2013, initially signing him for 2 years and then extended that by an extra year at the end of 2014

Has been seeing specialists about issues sustained from concussion, I'd steer clear on this one.

Agree to steer clear, If he is so good, why is he available?
Possible alternate ruck stocks
Stefan Martin Bris
Tom Nicholls GCS
Leuenberger Ess
Are there any likely Ruckmen running around in SANFL or WAFL or VFL

Thanks.
Concussion thing is a worry though.

Yes Stalin but what else is there? There must be some big bloke out there who wants a go who is not on a list, gee we missed on Mumford or similar
I am sure the brains trust at RFC have the situation under control considering how well they have organised our talent depth. :whistle
In reality we need to give McBean, Elton and Soldo a decent run and see what happens or am I being a dreamer?
-
the burger is nearly as good at standing by watching the contest unfold after the ruck contest as Hampson
-
Our tails as usual....
-
Dawes from Melbourne. Premiership player. Can replace Jack Riewoldt. If that falls through.
If anything if Pav retires from Freo why don't we coax him East for a year.
Sure it's 16 years too late but he'll finally be in our colours after the Fiorandebacle.
Better late than never chums.
Daniel Merrett would be handy and he can DJ in the MRC post match.
Farren Ray should be a target also.
Spangher I hear is a great clubman and Premiership player.
Lastly if we have salary cap room after this Trav Cloke, Brent Stanton and one of Mark Jamar, Andrew Boston or Ben Sinclair.

Would be prepared to even look at any masters leagues for possible ruck recruits, would be an upgrade

The first couple of these sarcastic posts were funny...
-
1. Ruck
2. Hurley
3. Key forward?
I've gone off a mid unless it trelor like level or someone cheap like omera . Would like to keep getting games into George. Menadue. C Ellis. Short. Markov types.
Throw the kitchen sink at fyfe or Ablett
-
We have good prospects coming through but let's not do the typical Richmond thing and start overrating the list again on the back of that..we still need at least one ready made A - grade mid...depth is still a massive issue...
-
Ruck
Key forward
Key back
Mid
Mid is maybe the least required of the 4

Agree with the above.
-
Hurley and Fyfe should be the targets.
Free top line defender and an elite mid with plenty of years ahead of him.
With the new players agreement just around the corner the salary cap is only going to get bigger year after year.
B.Ellis,Edwards,Griffiths,Lennon,Conca,Vickery,Astbury all getting pay increase's :chuck
or Hurley and Fyfe on big coin?

Thats all well and good but what do you give up to get them to our club.

A4 or A3 posters?
