Blair's DFA targets...

[The Machine]

Harper would definitely have a look at  but has he still got ankle problems?
Also noticed Daniel Gorringe was delisted aswell .

Word is his ankles are "very bad" ...

Had a chat with him 2 months ago and he said he is healthy. To me he looks like a player who could benefit from a move out of a system that is not suited to him or not rated by the coach. I think he can play but this is just my opinion.

[The Machine]

Brant Colledge , Harry Marsh, Kieran Harper, Josh Glenn, Tom Vandeleur, Jacob Bollard, Cameron Giles. I would look to these guys to fill our last positions and also rookie list.

If he's right to go then I'm with you,I was hoping we'd get him in his draft  but gone by our 2nd pick.

[tdy]

No to Daw from me. He is lost on the field, would probably make a good Grid Iron player where there is less to think about, but once the AFL chaos ensues he is hopeless.

[the claw]

People may rip into me but what do people think of Danny Stanley as a d/fa.
Since he has been at GCS he has been pretty consistent.Actually shown he can play good consistent footy. He is a big bodied mid 187/90 has good pace, kicks well, has done run with roles well and does get his hands on the ball.  In fact he has done most roles for gc since he has been there.
He only managed 8 games this year so im assuming he had a few injury problems. He is still only 27 and i have to say i have liked what i have seen of him when watching gc games.

Be gentle im only putting it out there.

[Yeahright]

Only seen him once and it was that time he had a day out against us. So if I was Blair then you could bet on us getting him

Here's a list of the delisted free agents.

Worth a look? The discards your club should consider

Jennifer Phelan, Nathan Schmook, Peter Ryan, Adam Curley, Travis King, Andrew Lowther, Nat Edwards
AFL.com.au
October 31, 2015
 
Jed Adcock    Age: 29      Club: Brisbane Lions (2004-16)      Games: 206

Jacob Ballard  Age: 21      Club: Fremantle (2014-1015)        Games: 1
2015 summary: A consistent ball-magnet in the WAFL with Peel Thunder, Ballard regular racked up high possession tallies. Played his only AFL game in round 23 when the Dockers rested players en-masse.
Pros: A great character and hard worker, clubs would know Ballard would do everything to make it. Only just squeezed off the Dockers' list so he's not far off.
Cons: Disposal efficiency is a concern and he needs to improve his speed from hand to foot to make it in a high-pressure AFL midfield.
Would suit: Richmond

Alex Browne     Age: 23    Club: Essendon (2011-2015)           Games: 11
Ayce Cordy      Age: 25    Club: W.Bulldogs (2009-2015)         Games: 27
Ryan Crowley    Age: 31      Club: Fremantle (2003-2015)        Games: 188
Lauchlan Dalgleish Age: 22   Club: Essendon (2013-2015)         Games: 3
Sam Darley      Age: 22   Clubs: GWS (2012-13), WB (2014-15)    Games: 20
Majak Daw       Age: 24     Club: North Melbourne (2012-2015)   Games: 16
Josh Deluca     Age: 19        Club: Fremantle (2014)           Games: 0
Max Duffy       Age: 22      Club: Fremantle (2013-2015)        Games: 3
Mitch Golby     Age: 24     Club: Brisbane Lions (2011-15)      Games: 56
Daniel Gorringe  Age: 23    Club: Gold Coast (2010-2015)        Games: 22
Jarrad Grant    Age: 26    Club: Western Bulldogs (2009-2015)   Games: 81
Sam Grimley     Age: 24       Club: Hawthorn (2009-2015)        Games: 3

Kieran Harper   Age: 23     Club: North Melbourne (2011-2015)   Games: 39
2015 summary: A knee injury forced him to start late but he was playing solid VFL football at season's end.
Pros: An AFL talent with pace and goal sense.
Cons: Doesn't find enough of the ball and has not played a senior game for two years.
Would suit: Richmond
 
Nick Holman     Age: 20      Club: Carlton (2014, 2015)         Games: 9

Mark Jamar      Age: 32      Club: Melbourne (2003-2015)       Games: 155
2015 summary: Set the tone in round one and showed reasonable form before being squeezed out in round six as the Demons went for youth.
Pros: A ruck craftsman who would be an asset as a teacher as much as a player if he found a spot. When he plays he can hit hard and create space.
Cons: Reserved in his leadership but is a solid citizen. Needs to win more of the ball to play seniors.
Would suit: Richmond.

Elliott Kavanagh Age: 22     Club: Essendon (2012-2015)          Games: 12
Lachlan Keeffe   Age: 25     Club: Collingwood (2011-2015)       Games: 40
Harry Marsh     Age: 21      Club: Sydney Swans (2012-2015)      Games: 0
Brodie Martin   Age: 26      Club: Adelaide (2009-15)            Games: 38
Jordie McKenzie  Age: 25     Club: Melbourne (2009-2015)         Games: 79
Kane Mitchell   Age: 25      Club: Port Adelaide (2013-2015)     Games: 31

Zac O'Brien     Age: 25      Club: Brisbane Lions (2014-15)    Games: 13
2015 summary: Managed just eight senior games and had a mid-season altercation with Lions coach Justin Leppitsch during half-time of a NEAFL match. Won the reserves best and fairest.
Pros: Fitness levels are a strong point and with the sub rule gone for next season, he could be a valuable addition.
Cons: Incident with the senior coach would put a lot of clubs off taking a chance.
Would suit: Richmond.

Farren Ray       Age: 29    Clubs: WB (2004-08), St K (2009-15)   Games: 205

Ahmed Saad       Age: 26    Club: St K (2012-13, 2015)   Games: 33     
2015 summary: His first season back at the Saints after serving an 18-month suspension for testing positive to a banned stimulant, was elevated to the senior list early and played four games but was overtaken by fellow rookies Jack Sinclair and Adam Schneider.
Pros: Precise kicking ability and possesses strong work ethic, as was proven when he kept himself in top shape while serving his suspension.
Cons: Can go missing and needs to be more consistent with the defensive side of his game.
Would suit: Richmond.

Jonathan Simpkin Age: 28    Clubs: Syd (2006-07), Geel (2011-12), Haw (2013-15)  Games: 37
Mathew Stokes    Age: 30    Club: Geelong (2006-2015)    Games: 189
Josh Thomas      Age: 24   Club: Collingwood (2013-2015) Games: 32

[Diocletian]

O'Brien, Ballard, Harper & Saad all before Moore. Jamar would just be an older and even more overcooked version of Maric.

Would also look at White, Wright, Siposs (not listed there?)Redden & Gorringe.

[Willy]

Harper would definitely have a look at  but has he still got ankle problems?
Also noticed Daniel Gorringe was delisted aswell .

Word is his ankles are "very bad" ...

A shame really as he is a very good in & under type even though Scott used him for his outside pace.

Wot?
He's as outside as they come.

Did you watch any of his junior games at Eastern.Looked nuggety & hard at it when put on the ball at times.

Nope. Just going by what I've seen at AFL/VFL

[Smokey]

Zac O'Brien for me.  Could easily be as good a get as Miles.

[YellowandBlackBlood]

Zac O'Brien for me.  Could easily be as good a get as Miles.

Astute choice.

Would also look at White, Wright, Siposs (not listed there?), Redden & Gorringe.

Issues with Siposs' reconstructed shoulder may be the reason why he isn't on any of these lists, even though he was delisted by the Saints. He's not on Foxsports' list of DFA's either:

[the claw]

ok serious question.

how many years do you think it will be before he is ready to compete with AFL ruckmen?

Another season developing in the ressies at least.
He is already 204cm/104kg Physically he is close. Still lacking core strength and maturity. Would hope in two yrs he could play second fiddle or come in and cover for injury. He would still only be 22 with a lot of developing to do still.
Has to be worth a rookie pick nothing lost if he doesn't make it.

[Damo]

He is lost on the field, would probably make a good Grid Iron player where there is less to think about

This is a bizarre comment. NFL playbooks are enormous and it is WITHOUT DOUBT the most strategic sport in the world. You need to run precise routes timed to the micro second. If he can't work out the "chaos" of AFL, then he's no hope of working out gridiron.

[Diocletian]

Pfft....a dumb NRL meathead picked it up in 6 months...
