Dixon is the one I would like.

Re: List Management 2015
Dixon seems to have some potential attitude/behavioral issues (but then so do half the Suns list apparently).
Supposedly came back from the off season overweight and also possibly broke the booze ban that 3 of his teammates have been suspended for.
Perhaps a change of scenery might straighten out some of these Gold Coast wannabee rockstars.

What would we have to give up to get the Suns to play ball with us?
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

To Eade & Clayton, Justin Sherman maybe?
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

Jarrad Grant - Clayton may see the chance to turn him around and avoid that swim he promised!

Or at least just a skinny outside player with a nice kick who can play off half back and won't defend.

Sounds a bit like me.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

So we should have kept Everitt to package with Higgins and J Grant just for this trade.

I think there's a number of people and organisations asking this question.

Or trade them to Richmond for a first round draft pick.

Re: List Management 2015
Actually Dalrymple is almost the bipolar opposite of Scott Clayton - screwed up his first effort but has barely put a foot wrong since, whereas Clayton absolutely nailed his first draft and pretty much screwed most others up thereafter.

So guys like Brownlow medallist, All Australians were a miss.??? Really.
We go over this time and time again on this forum, but we won't all agree. Yes plenty of misses but also plenty of top footballers in his time with us.
Dalrmple hasn't got everything right to date, but that is the nature of recruiting. I really question Pearce, Lower, Goodes, Fuller, Young, Prudden,(could still work) Schofield, Skinner, Moles, Hooper, Austin, Markovic, and Mulligan.
Excellent pickups in the last few years, but helps when you have picks 4, 5 or 6 and those years would have been hard to miss a good player. Yes I know Walsh didn't make it and he was a top 4/ 5. So what, so was Howard.

Howard was a pick in the teens, made before Dalrymple was a full time recruiter (he was working part time that year!)
Not impossible to miss a good player considering I'd argue that Macrae & Stringer are outperforming picks taken before them and Bonti at pick 4 was seen as a reach but he's so far the best of his class.
Dahl & Jong as rookie picks are a big tick IMO and we've already got a kid from last year playing senior football.
I'm pretty happy with Dalrymple's efforts since coming on board full time.

I am too, I don't like broad statements that after the 1999 draft, Clayton screwed up.
