who we could go after......

I wouldnt mine picking up johns, i think that we could get him relativaly cheap and just sit him in the goal square to burst packs open. Then lynch higgins and harbrow can just sit at his feet.

Surely Will Minson could do that. Wouldn't have to give anything up either.

As silly as it sounds, I think Johns could offer us something, too.

It would have to be a use-our-last-pick-rather-than-a-prayer-on-a-kid-who-won't-make-it scenario, but while Johns has (many) limitations he can time a lead (Minson can't) and kick from 50 (Minson can't do that either).

John's can only play FF though, and if Grant plays on I can only see him as a FF as well, which might be a bit problematic for young Courtney.

[LostDoggy]

I think Johns has been weighed and measured and has been found wanting. I don't want him if he is just going to kick 30 goals a year and peak at 2 goals a game.

Richmond might choose to keep Shultz, if he plays well in todays VFL Grand Final

Guess not then . He really looked like a lost soul out there on Sunday, although he was no worse than Reiwoldt, whose effort and intensity was truly appalling. Schulz looks like a delist candidate for Richmond, which in that case I would not tade for him and invite him to train his ass off with us in the pre-season to see if he can salvage his AFL career. I know I'm in the minority, but I think he does have the basic tools to make a success of a key forward post in the AFL. It really is up to him. Not having to deal with Richo next to him in the goal square won't hurt his developement.

Kepler Bradley
What has happened to this player so that he now appears to be on the market. Prior to him becoming drafted he was one of the outstanding players in the WAFL.

Farren Ray was taken by us ahead of Kepler Bradley.

Essendon used him as a key position player on several occasions during his first few seasons.

What happened so that he did not blossom?

My understanding is that he didn't commit himself to his footy this year and he might have thought things were just going to bounce his way.
He has talent but without the required application he's been off the mark.

A change of clubs might just be the tonic for him.

[Dry Rot]

Kind of funny that everyone connected with that Brown/Rawlings etc deal was doomed.

[Rocco Jones]

Would only be interested in Johns if Essendon de-listed him and we could get him for virtually nothing.

Urch has been de-listed by North, would be worth a look. It's not really a talent question with him but whether he can actually stay fit. It's a pity he is too old for the rookie list.

I would be interested in Mattner is he is/becomes available. He seems to have fallen out of favour at Adelaide, with the move from wing to defence turning into a big failure. Many of our fans might say we have enough 'smalls' but his tackling/defensive work could be very valuable.
