Blair's DFA targets...
« on: October 22, 2015, 04:46:40 PM »
We all know Moneyball's probably got at least one lined up - who should it be?

I'll kick things off....

Crowley  - there's probably an argument for the Subiaco Pincher, not a convicing one though IMO. Pass.

Siposs - medium forward (189/90) who can also play wing & defence, looked good in a few games but decidedly ordinary in others. Can play. He could pressure any of McKintosh to Batchelor and Lloyd for a spot. Would consider.

Spencer White - forward (196/86) - a real talent, even touted by some early on as "the next Buddy" (yeah not quite) but an cbf'd attitude apparently so pee poor that even a rebuilding St.Kilda, desperate for talls, don't think he's worth perservering with despite all his gifts and still young age.(though they could still rookie him I suppose) Kicked 4 on debut against us last year, did nothing in his next game and was never seen again in the seniors....hmmm....naturally gifted player with massive attitude problems who played his best against us.... didn't we just give away pick 19 for a bloke who matches that description?  Worth considering for a rookie spot for mine.

Adcock? Wouldn't mind targeting him for the VFL list at least. Hell he's probably better than Chaplin - unfortunately he's also 11 centimetres shorter.

Maybe Jarrad Redden - from Port so probably already on Hartley's radar......reckon we should look at Darcy Cameron from Claremont....

For me Redden as ruck back up, would love for us to snare Keeffe with our last nd pick knowing we wont have him for a season. I would  at the least rookie Spencer  White, sometimes when something is gone you realise what you have lost.

Nope.  Just signed with Perth for 3 years and is being promoted as their saviour.  Yep, they are perennial under-achievers like us.   :-\

Think we need to rookie a ruckman, Redden seems the perfect fit in that respect

I'd be stunned if we didn't at least get one more ruckman somewhere along the line this year....
