Only way they will play alongside each other is if his brother comes to
us or one of them turns into a FF or CHF.
Hopefully after last weeks game he sees the Crows as soft And makes a request to come to us with our hard nosed winning culture :-)

Rance looks risky based on these stories. The ruck is such an underperformance area that I think we need to go hard at Luenberger now as a free agent target. A big improvement is there for the taking.

The trade table may have a few tall defenders with any luck. Then fishing at expansion clubs especially if our first pick is over pick 10 trading down to high second rounder for a good player.

I thought Fletcher Roberts was good today, which is a good sign for our KPD stocks

Luenberger is an interesting one, is he actually that good? He wins the hit outs but really does lumber after that, Billy Longer has been exceptional out of his shadow and even Stefan Martin has really grown past him. I've brought up Kreuzer in another thread but put him in the same boat. High draft picks with some good AFL form but it really is sporadic to warrant a big pay check. I am in the grab a ruckman camp but I think most success has come from grabbing a guy who has been overlooked and banging down the door in the seconds at another club eg Jacobs

Darcy Gardiner, anyone?

[Drunken Bum]

Cruiser and Looneyburger are both free agents yeah? Would we really need to offer them that much? While talented they have both been injury prone and are playing for some very ordinary teams that are going nowhere fast, i would think we'd be a pretty attractive proposition for either as both are youngish enough to be a big part of what could be a very special team and barring injury would walk into our best 22. I'd definitely be in their ear and put a games played incentive based contract in front of them so long as they passed a medical.

[Greystache]

I'm hoping to hear in the next few weeks we've signed Talia for another 3 years and have given Webb an extension. Come on JMac.

Yep, sort it out JMac.

Anyone else who should be on that priority list?

Most have been signed or had their contract extended from memory.

What is Honeychurch's contract status? I can't recall him extending his agreement like the other young players.

[The Underdog]

Don't forget we have an extra 600,000 next year due to paying Griffens wage at GWS.

Pretty sure most of that will be heading into T Boyd's pocket. He gets a decent raise in pay after this year I've heard

This. Carlton and Brisbane would probably want the FA compo over sticking with them if they got a second round pick which would be pick 19 or 20. To get that compensation my guess the contract needs to be around 3 years $450,00 or 4 years at $400,000.

Looking at our near empty cupboard labeled 'ruckman'. I could live with a contract like that if they pass medicals and interviews with Bevo - especially not trading away picks or players.

Yep, Fletcher, Roughead, Talia and maybe Hamling, I don't think KPD is a major concern ATM.

We need to go hard at a good ruckman entering his prime.

[LostDoggy]

What about Charlie Dixon?

Out of contract at the end of this year. Has had some injury concerns. But showed on the weekend he is a quality player. Would be a great option for that second ruck roll.

[bulldogtragic]

If Brisbane, GCS and Calton keep up this rubbish, then I reckon like our last preseason there is a chance to raid them.

Daniel Rich, Luenberger, May or Dixon, Henderson, Kruezer or any kids we like. Any takers of these of others?

Dixon would certainly fit our structure nicely. Between him, Roughy and Boyd, we'd be able to match up against most ruck line ups and certainly wouldn't lose anything around the ground.
