    Re-signed with Brisbane who see him as their long term CHB. I think he's as good as untouchable unfortunately

    Agree here, and Reid will cost an absolute packet (from a team that traded pick 14 for Wood).

    Interesting that everyone seems to see Tiller's LT future as a backman. He did show a bit as a forward last year, is aggressive and has some idea of where to lead to. Doubts about his size for a 191cm player (same height as Fev, 12 kgs lighter) however I'd rather try one of our own fringe talls who will cost us nothing rather than try a Boyle who is likely to be as (in)effective and will cost us picks in the process.

    Haven't seen enough of Campbell to comment but there is certainly alot of commentary floating about.

    Out of your list one of Thorp (probably unattainable) Dowler (age on his side) Can play CHB, could release Williams to play CHF.
    Kosi is the other player that would have to seriously have to be considered. A 26yo man mountain who has been living in Riewoldts shadow is worth considering. A change of clubs could see him finally deliver. Would cost a 2nd round and some..........
    Otherwise there is not much that could potentially make a siginificant difference other than Kosi IMHO
    Hall could however only for 1-2 yrs and would not be willing to sacrifice our future by giving away 2nd round pick.

    Re: Who's out there?

    Hopefully Geelong dont have room for Tom Hawkins?

    Wouldn't mind having a tall built young forward to kick to..

    What you think it would cost if they did let him go and we went after him?

    Correct - though that extension to his exisitn gcontract that could possiobly see him at the kennell apparently isn't a concern to Paul Roos - the below was part of a bigger article about Daniel Kerr on the Fox Sports Website

    The Sydney coach is however confident that former captain Barry Hall, 31, will play out his career with the Swans after he had been linked to the Western Bulldogs earlier in the week.

    "Hally has one more year of a contract with us and he's fine with the fact that he'll be approached next season about an extension," Roos said.

    You would have to convince Hawkins he is better off with us. Then you would have to offer Geelong a player they would actually be tempted to take. Your looking at giving up Cooney or Griffen at a minimum. They are not going to give up Tom Hawkins.

    The world was different.

    Darryl Baldock played CHF @ 180cm, Jack Titus played FF @ 177cm.

    Jack Dyer rucked @ 185cm.

    That was then, this is now.

    I agree, though, that there is always room for another good player, just what will they add relative to their cost.

    We are looking for someone to be CHF/FF not a pip squeek. Minimum requirement for me is 193cm plus.

    I'd take a 191cm type - Fev or Pav

    Re: Who's out there?

    I'm wondering what Kosi could do with a simple set of instructions.

    TAKE MARKS IN THE FORWARD 50.

    St. Kilda play him all over the shop and half the time he and Riewoldt spoil each other in pack mark situations.
    Trading Kosi could be a win win for the saints.
    You just can't have Kosi competing with another tall forward. He has tunnel vision and doesn't know when to go and when to pull back.
    Kosi would be a good fit for us if he was the only tall. I think it would suit his style of play.
    And we've got the opportunists to crumb the spoils.
    I would definitely consider him.
    CHF or FF every week no exceptions. No spells in the ruck, defence etc etc. I think that whoever uses Kosi should use him that way. And I'll say it again he can't play in the same forward line as Riewoldt as they both have tunnel vision for the ball in flight andf spoil each other. It's ugly and messy.

    What would the Roos want for Corey Jones? He is no longer on the untouchables list at North. I think Dogs 24/7 floated that idea a couple of weeks ago.
