Hampson has another year left on his contract.

Carlisle for me is a must. The rumour is the Dogs but if we can dangle a carrot in front of him, Big Club, MCG, Dreamtime big games I reckon we can sway him.

Another class mid would be great too.

Luenberger or Lycett as a ruck.

The draft can do the rest.

To me the obvious players to cut would be petard,Loyd,gordon,hampson,arnott,..and add in a few retirements as well.

Add Grigg, Knights ... maybe Dea, Elton, Foley?

I recon if we got Carlisle we make finals for the next 5, 6 , 7 years.
If we get Motlop as well, we could be top 4
Get little Jakey Neade as well and buy a new trophy case because will will need it.  :lol

Reckon Neade is getable for a late pick. Seems to be on the outer at Port. But it would need to be a late pick not a 2nd rounder

Angus, if you want a player like Carlisle you will need to give up a first round pick. I have no problem with that. Think Conca and even Lennon for a minute and you'll change your thinking.

Motlop, I'd give a second rounder for but only if we were to to get that extra pick buy giving up Conca for example to The Eagles for a second round pick.

And Neade I'd give Port McDonough.

I'd even be happy to give Griff away for a decent pick. With the hope of McBean and or McKenzie stepping up.

The trouble is we need a key forward (if you lose big ben) and key back

Yes -  would also finally give me the 2009 draft night that I wanted.

I should have clarified motlop I wouldn't trade away picks but happy to trade some out for carlisle.

Griff for Carlisle. Wouldn't hesitate and as for Conca well id trade him for piece of home made salami

Nah

Why not?

Outside of simply wanting to be different to everyone else  ;D

Because I think we need Griff as 2nd tall forward and chop out ruck.

Also reckon more import stay I don't think the Bumblingd would be interested in him. They' need speed and I think we can Carlisle by offering up a mid

Jake Neade is from Elliott.  About as far away from the Torres Strait Islands as you are Dan!
