Band-Aid Solution

[WA Tiger]

Are we doing it again, putting a band-aid on the festering sore? The talk of Nankervis, Williams, Hartlett, and these sorts of "average" players being looked at to join the club??

Speculation yes, but we have done this before. I think its great we are getting Prestia but the others, they can't line up for their respective clubs now. We either take damaged players or fringe players and that's one reason why we just can't move forward.

Maybe Nankervis will be something, maybe he won' and we will have another player that just goes through the motions (save your Hampson comments, this thread is not about him).

Thoughts.

We wont be getting HH but hes a jet, so I wouldnt have an issue with him coming accross for the right price.

We desperately need another ruckman. He seems as good an optio  as we can find at the moment. Even if we were totally bottoming out and rebuilding he would be a reasonable choice imo. Unfortunately, good ruckman dont just appear out of thin air, or even are likely with a top 20 pick.

Williams might be silly to go for, but he did okay at Cwood this year. Its a no for mine.

Sorry to start more talk in another thread, but what do you consider the right price for HH?

Any player is a good or bad pickup at a certain price. Remember that he's got four years to run on a contract at Port reportedly worth $500-600k/year. I would want Port to pay some of that.

Can Nankervis play? Cant say I noticed him so have no opinion on that one.

As for MW - no no
HH - for the right price = not this years or next years first rounder

Its totally moot now he's not going anywhere, but his trade value is a little dependant on a few things.

IF for example, we were willing to take up the entirety of his contract (around 650 I think) then we could probably get him for something like a late first round early 2nd round selection - with some sweeteners thrown in.

His raw trade value I would put at mid first round - pick 10 - 15. He's a top 4 selection who when playing his best football warrants that pick. His inconsistency should be reflected in the trade value.

Just my opinion of course.

Isn't HH injury prone? If so this is another example of us chasing broken down players.

Papering up the cracks.

The penny, Dimma and Betamax show

We are better off just starting again, years of the fringe players has not worked, I am not sure why they cant see it.

We could probably go back 3 times more before this lot and find the exact same process being followed. Unreal really and then look at the Dogs, they make the call and look at them now.. do we really think we are so close to a flag that band aiding works?

Maybe we are trying to follow the Swans process but we are failing dismally..

Yes just like the dogs we are going to win the flag next year

Get on board

He's a Maric like ruckman. Does a lot of the little things and gets around the ground but wouldn't expect him to dominate the tap outs

[Yeahright]

Manages to get past Rohan (who admittedly wasn't near top speed but still not bad for a big fella) and smash some poor bloke.

Can we put Hampson in just for the taps down the throats of the opposition mids and then take him off immediately to replace him with this bloke?

When does Nankervis stop and have a rest with his hands on his knees?, was it just before that clip or after?
