I've heard the same things, I would much rather Tambling or even Sherman. Geelong will trade him to GC anyway.

What about Leroy Jetta or Eddie Betts? (Betts is only 23)
I would be very keen to go after Alwyn Davey, has heaps of pace, a good kick and a proven forward pressure master.
Other than that, I think David Rodan is an amazing player when on song, and could be a good fit for us. Not sure of his contract status though.
Why did you throw him up? Is he out of contract? Very interesting proposition if he is, and im sure a lot of our supporters would be happy if we were able to do a deal, he would be a good fit alongside Barry. Problem is that.. what would it cost?
Everitt + GC pick? :confused: probably not enough where Carlton is concerned.
I dont know, but a young quality quick goal sneak is exactly what we need - Eade likes to kick long into the forward line and we just very rarely crumb any goals. Even worse, when the defenders sweep up the ball we have been too slow this year to offer much chase.
I don't mind Jetta, especially seeing him run around against us in the midfoeld in our last game v Essendon, i'm not sure of him as a small forward though, he seems the type to get a bit static, he could add some pace running out of defence or in the guts though, would much prefer him to Tambling.
He looked very damaging against us, and Essendon only has one decent inside midfielder to get the ball out to him. Would be better playing alongside Ward, Boyd, Cross, etc...
It was rumoured that he wanted out, but then I read more and it says specifically to WA, so maybe a pipe dream.
but if we wanted a direct replacement for Harbrow, he would be good (convinced harbrow was destined for our midfield next year)
edit: apparently someone a couple of big footy sources have said we are looking at drafting Paul Poupulo, a norwood small defender.
What about the harbrow pick for Davey?? Is that over the odds? Your thoughts???
Not a fan of Davey, would love Jetta though.
Would love to get Matt "Flash" Campbell form North as well, I don't think North will want to give him up though. Has plenty of potential, but seems to be injured a fair bit.
Okay, stupid question, but:
What the hell happened to our pace? Two years ago we were fast and short. Now we've got ten monsters and are one-paced. How the hell did that happen? Did the MC overreact to our perceived height problem?
Boydy was seriously fast. What's happened? Was our speed all in Jordy and Eagle? Who was fast? Where are they now?
