Spot on that man. Get Hansen. Guys like Monfries, Nash, even Lovett will spend more time in the midfield next year you would expect.robrulz5 wrote:We need a key defender over anything else. Our midfield is always on the improve and we have a potent forward line.
No.1 or No.2? Gibbs or Hansen?
You couldn't fool your own mother on the foolingest day of your life with an electrified fooling machine.
we have to get them sooner or later and with fletch soon to leave we NEED someone else, we have plenty of young talent in the middle/half foward linenomolos wrote:Talls take too long to develop.
Go with Gibbs.

I'd take Hansen for two reasons:
1. He's a KPP who plays in position we need help
2. He's a Victorian so we'd never have to worry about him wanting to go home
Gibbs would be a great pick up but big bodies are harder to find than midfielders no matter how good they are.
West Coast had a fantastic midfield last year and still lost the GF.
The main reason they are favourites this year is because of the huge improvement shown by Lynch.

Agree, but a good CHB has often shut down a gun CHF which has won matches.Windy_Hill wrote:Easy Answer. A great CHB has never won a game for a club.
We need match winners.
I am sure with the players we already have, Lee, LAycock, Johns, Lucas....surely we can find an effective CHB.
Think Jakovich on Carey in the 90's.
The more I think about it, the more I don't know who I want more.
Brilliant CHBs DO win matches, as they cut off the supply to the forward line, while negating the key forward. But champion CHBs are rarer these days than top CHFs. Just look at the discussions for the AA team, no-one can even find top candidates for the position.
I'd lean towards grabbing whoever looks like being the match winner (and Carlton hasn't picked up of course). We really really need some match winners.
On Selwood, he was burning before he did his knee (from what I read on BF). Trend seems to be to still expect him to go 6 => 10 (depending on medical tests).

Correct Windy and we are about to lose arguably the best match winner of all time....Windy_Hill wrote:Easy Answer. A great CHB has never won a game for a club.

I am more worried about replacing Sir James than Fletch
