Potential key defender from other clubs

[Stalin]

Anyone got any ideas on key backs that may be available for us to poach from other clubs at years end?
Or even a decent one is a lower level?
As we all know we are at least one decent ready made kpd short.
Surely they won't put us through another season of Lady Chappy

Hurley, Hooker 

[Andyy]

Need to see who is out of contract at season's end.

No point getting Hurley if he's going to cost more than $700k/year. It will take so much of our salary cap and he'll only delay the inevitable slide down to another rebuild.

IMHO we should do a bit of a rebuild now. Trade out Cotchin, Lids, B. Ellis, Conca, Griffiths, Vickery, Batchelor, Houli, Grigg.

Yeah thanks Richo....don't let's dare offer decent money to decent players...

Hurley a gun. Grab him in a heartbeat at 700k

I would be scouting the hawthorn list pretty hard:



K Brand   198cm   92kg    Defender
S Tatupu   197cm   100kg    Forward
L Surman   195cm   85kg    de
T O'Brien   193cm   84kg    Forward
K Heatherley   193cm   89kg    Defender
A Litherland   192cm   88kg    Defender
D Willsmore   191cm   83kg    Forward
R Burton   191cm   90kg    Forward
D Howe   191cm   83kg    Defender


As astbury and grimes are hardly reliable. Chaplin is a poor excuse for a dirty big girls blouse. Elton and McBean are out of favour with our intelligently challenged  spiritual leader mr hardwick

Agreed with this.

Rance. Grimes. Hurley would provide the foundation Of a backline good enough to build a successful football club

If we get the talks right the like of deledio yarren c Ellis vlastuin Menadue martin and co will benefit

Sadly with the lack of upside in Morris and hunt a 'lock down', back pocket still looks like it's missing from the mid under seven year of mr hardwick list management alon with a Hurley

B McKay   199cm   91kg    Defender
S Durdin   198cm   88kg    Defender
J Tippett   197cm   91kg    Defender
D Nielson   194cm   92kg    Defender
A Black   192cm   90kg    Forward



How can it be other sides bat deep and have options in the reserves

When after seven years of mr hardwick we hae rance and nothing else?

Pretty simple really.
Pay him what it takes, all the good teams can make it work.

Same reason we only have Hamspud as our only other ruck option.

But never fear because we have good old Sir Francis of Jackson scouring the country to find us "skillful" players that can kick sideways and backwards better than any other in the draft, whilst lord Blair of Hartley is thoroughly checking all players on every teams list to find us just the right fit of wannabe hacks that no other team wants.  We should give them both a 10 year extension on their current contracts.
