I like Crameri and Grant up the field, they are athletic and cover good ground and they are usually pretty creative when they get it. But really they need it delivered well to make an impact, they aren't the sort to push up the ground and take big marks. If we could add a CHF with good skills, a big tank and really good hands who could just consistently present up to the wing, and take some big marks it would help the team so much.
I really do think Jones can play as a FF, like mentioned before he is a big unit. If his tank can keep improving and we snagged a Patton type to let Jones play CHF, i'd also be pretty happy with that. We need to get one of those types as soon as we can though.
I think the Swans have shown it doesn't matter how many good quality KPF's you decide to cram into a 22 it's normally OK if you get them on the park.
This is why I think GWS was never going to err in selecting Boyd last year, unless something completely ridiculous was offered up to get him to another club. By ridiculous I mean a low first round pick (like our pick 4) and a player of Griffen's or Liberatore's ilk and a mature player like a Picken or Wood etc.
Some clubs end up with a guy like Cloke who can take hold of a game, and in a lot of ways it's just dumb luck that they do. As good as Collingwood has been these past years, you have to remember they were fortunate to have Cloke arrive as a FS. It wasn't good recruiting that got him there.
This is why I get really pissed off about commentary lamenting our inability to have landed a very good KPF over the past 6 or so years. We literally haven't had the chance to nail them like other clubs have with early draft picks, and we haven't had the benefit of FS selections to get them across the line.

Maybe not so ready made, Ayce was a borderline goal post when he got to the club :P but yeah I thought we had a good one there. Some nice signs this year though.
Fosters looking alright isn't he, haven't seen him play too much but from what I've read he just sounds perfect for what were looking for. Really excited to watch him play next year if we do pick him up, which I think we will.
Cmon guys, spill the beans
Is this a rumour file? Anyone listen to the ABC radio pre-game for the Dees game?
Seems Boyd isn't real happy with his opportunities at the Giants and wants out.
Mumford, Patton and Boyd don't really fit into one side.
The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.
