yeah, WATs got a few 20 cm puffer fish in there, for sure.

yeah its a subjective thing but anyone we dont get isnt much of a criteria

So out of that 8 are you kidding me that if we landed one of them they wouldn't be a big fish at our club???

Your second list?

but still no

to me only dangerfield and treloar

Out of curiosity, who on our list would you regard as a big fish?

Well, I see more on that list. Ours; Martin, Jack, Rance, Deledio and at a stretch Cotchin.

so how many in your list do you put in the same class as these?

"Big Fish" or not... I'd just like a player or two of genuine, proven quality who'll genuinely improve the list, - Redden will, Tomlinson, Henderson or Carlisle will as would have Bennell, Luenberger and even Suckling...not just bargain basement fringe types who'll only be minor upgrades at best and invariably still have deficiencies...

Bennell, Dangerfield, Treloar, McCarthy, Dixon, Henderson and Sellwood. So we had a crack at one of them, if you look at Aish and Redden as well, if they go then there is a fair bit around.

So out of my list, how do you compare Conca, Grigg, Bachelor, Hampson, B Ellis and Griff to them? Because I would have any of my list over this lot!!

bennel could be, dixon may be, not convinced about the others. Hendeson does go close and i would be happy to get him.

hard to argue against the sentiment, although i reckon the last three fall under the deficiency statement, for various reasons. Our poor ruck stocks do make leuninburger seem more appealing than he actually is, IMO

Out of curiosity, who on our list would you regard as a big fish?

Given , how old and Shyte troy Chappy is

And given how young , and what ability Carlisle has already show in earlier seasons

[with have to include this line for al ;  and given Chaplin would in theory be replaced by the said new acquisition, this is how it's related ]

For Richmond - that would be a big fish

Given list presently, with long term success in mind

IMO
