Please RFC Get Us....

[WA Tiger]

Please Tigers get us a some more backmen, trade, draft, who cares, our backline development players are too far off at the moment and we need a developed big player to support our other young players.

So.... who can we get and years end???????

[Dubstep Dookie]

How long on Mundys contract?

[bojangles17]

with a queue of 5 or 5 defenders , Id be looking at other areas first...like a goal kicking freak that can conjure a goal from anywhere, Ballentine, cyril rioli types

we have holes everywhere, maybe less glaring in the midfield. We desperately need a Ruckman with some presence. Every night, before i sleep I  for the development of the X man.
 But yes, I would also love a big KPD.

Is it concerning that i am already looking forward to draft time?

[Dubstep Dookie]

The draft thread will fire up shortly, especially if we lose most of our games between round 5-9.

Thats the problem we have a queue of them......and thats about it, we need an established backman or 2.....not a queue of developers..

How long on Mundys contract?

Too late now, he was linked to us during trade period but nothing eventuated he went on to sign a 3 year deal I think, or 2..

[10 FLAGS]

2 Priorities for me:

1) A Lead Up Tall Forward who can play High between 40 and 60 metres out. Obviously looking for someone between say 193 and 196cm, someone who has decent agility and pace and can take a grab.

2) A Key defender between 194 and 196cm, with some pace etc etc.

then midfielders, midfielders and then more midfielders.

Big ask but I think 1 and 2 must be priorities.

[TigerLand]

Ruckman number 1 priority. Grimes, Astbury are a long off but will be decent.

[wayne]

A ruckman please.

Hopefully Derickx isn't far off. He might not be the answer but at least he has a bit of a go and would crash a pack or two.

[Obelix]

You can't say the club hasn't tried. We've spent the last 4-5 years grooming Thursfield, McGuane and Kel Moore as the long term answer for the key back spots.

They're coming into their prime now but Dimma's decided that the future lies elsewhere - which means we've gotta start again.

You can't really blame Hardwick for scrapping them either - because if we're going to rebuild our backline now's the time.

Astbury looks like he has a future. Now to find another one or two - bit hard to judge Grimes from the weekend, still only a kid.

Thursty and Moore both injured and McGuane suspended.

[MADTIGER2010]

Thursty, Rance and Moore are inj/susp. We have talls already

[eliminator]

Ruckman no 1 priority. X factor up forward and a key position backman.

I think answer to #1 is Griffiths and #2 Astbury/Grimes. I think you will be very surprised at how little both those priorities become when we have an A class ruck who can actually help our midfield to win the battle in the engine room. Gus is a liability, probably be better off playing another midfielder until Derickx has recovered.
