Carlisle, Henderson and now Tomlinson. Surely we should be aiming to nab one of them?

You'd hand over a first round pick for Henderson? That's what the Blies reckon he is worth

Don't know, maybe? Was a decent player and we need another key back. Would depend on a few factors. But I'd rather Carlisle (feel he'd blend better with Rance) then Tomlinson (younger, massive tank, haven't heard question marks on his character) and Henderson last (good player but Q's over his character much like Carlisle but feel the mix between Carlisle and Rance would be better).
Then again, what do I know. I'm sure someone (two people in mind) will call me out on that
I have been wanting us to have a crack at Tomlinson for two seasons now. H e finally asks to go back home and we wont even be sniffing. The GWS exodus will last for only so long.And there will never be another opportunity to target such good talls as this of season.
Imo it is something we have never got right and that is  good structure with good depth. We have hardly ever in the last 30 yrs had enough quality talls and we fail to find them because we have rarely ever bothered to get enough in our system or use enough decent picks.

Only at Richmond would you go into a year with so few tall defenders and tall fwds With such a lack of quality bar two and expect to be top 4.

Some good points there, santa.

the only probably with the tigers here are what can we give up lets be honest if we are wanting bennell & Yarran we will have to give up im thinking a high draft pick's we will be lucky to still have a first round pick if we want these 2... to try and attract Tomlinson we wont have anything unless they want a astbury,gordon,llyold,dea,thomas, which im thinking not...
carlisle would be great but Essendon would probably ask for martin or something stupid knowing them you are right we get to strong mids half back flanker we just need another tall :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Carlisle is a F.A isnt he? But agree with scjhammo, if we snag bennell and yarran I cant see us having much left to offer. Maybe we could offer 5k of our members?

Don't forget we had a "war chest", so while Bennell might cost us IF he comes, Yarran shouldn't.

Money left over!!!!

Melbourne's Jimmy Toumpas will be playing for Port Adelaide in 2016 - SEN.

Collingwood's Ben Kennedy is likely to be at Melbourne next season - SEN's Brett Anderson.

James Aish's preference remains a trade to Collingwood but he will only leave Brisbane if a clear path to the Pies is established -Fox Footy.

Adelaide are leading the race for Western Bulldogs defender Michael Talia.Sydney was linked to the defender earlier in the year, Fox Footy understands they do not have a strong interest in his services.

Adelaide's Cameron Ellis-Yolmen could be on the way out of the club, as he is yet to be offered a new contract for next season - SEN

Port Adelaide will offer the clubs Second Round Pick for Melbourne's Jimmy Toumpas.

Port Adelaide could part ways with utility Aaron Young to St Kilda, in what could form part of a three-way deal involving Toumpas and the Dees.

Thought we were into Aaron Young?

I know he hasn't exactly set the world on fire so far but Jimmy Toumpas for a second rounder ain't too shabby....would take him over Watts who they supposedly want a pick in the early 20's for....

Essendon have confirmed that they are seeking pick 5 for Jake Carlisle if he goes to St Kilda.

One of the clubs expressing interest for Port Adelaide's Andrew Moore is Essendon, reportedly very interested.
