Hartley

Hooker


My number one target is a classy midfielder, preferably an outside midfielder with speed and a decent kick. Think we've got enough ball winners, just need a jet.
Jesse Hogan when he wants out of the dees? And am I the only one who still wants Hooker in our backline?
I'd prefer Hooker in the backline too, but we don't have that luxury.

If Hogan wants out, he's more likely to go back to WA or want a massive pay packet that we won't be able to give him.

I still feel like we a have some player/players in mind to trade for the number1 pick... Woosha has mentioned it a few times and Harvs said something similar the other day... It kinda feels like we are being conditioned to soften the blow of trading our first ever #1 pick.
I'll be ok with it for a proven gun... Just hope we don't trade it for some injury prone or trouble prone spud!!!!

Why do we persist in trying to turn defenders into forwards? Just go out and get a f****** forward!!

I'll be happy if we do. But, if we don't, Hooker must go forward. Hartley certainly ain't the answer up forward.

It'd be worth looking into whether Stringer's interested in leaving Footscray given he's not getting a game at the moment. I know he hasn't been playing well recently but at his best he's better than any forward we've had for some time.
Aaron Francis is the Messiah.

I'd be looking at O'Meara, Prestia and Patton for starters. Maybe Lewis Taylor.
O'Meara has had dodgy knees - ahas not played mucxh in two years and could be Gumbleton mark lll - he is a risk. I think Richmond have gone after Prestia. We need a FF who can kick goals.

What about Petrie- he can kick a goal and has kicked a few this year and play at both ends of the ground and won't cost us the earth.

You are joking right????
We will get one year out of a player in his thirties who has had a poor year this year!!!!
He has been cut from Norf for a good reason so no f****** way thanks...
I would rather persist with JD and see how he goes in the off season...

Now I hope we don't have pick so we can use pick 2 for O'Meara
Swap this years first pick and offer next years for both Prestia and O'Meara and watch the tigers squirm when they miss out again :lol:

Are you still rolling with this? We're lucky to have enough coin in the salary cap for O'Meara, no way we can afford both.
