How valuable would Mitch Brown be to us?

I think he fits our needs nicely. He can play as a forward and as a key defender and I wonder if he could alternate between the two allowing Roughead a couple of goes in the ruck each game.

How valuable would Mitch Brown be to us?

Mitch could be the next Galaxy Coleman, merrily clunking everything that comes his way.

With that cock-eyed expression look on his face,staring blankly into outer space.

As a rookie, no issue with it. I wouldn't want to use a draft pick on him though.

I think Adcock is a good player, but I don't think we're the club for him at this point in his career. Any 1st team time he gets this year will be at the expense of a Webb or a Dale or similar, don't see the value.

FORMER Brisbane midfielder Jed Adcock is confident of finding a new home in one of next week’s drafts, with the Western Bulldogs one of several circling clubs.

Adcock was forced out of Brisbane at only 29 given the club’s youth push but is keen to play on elsewhere.

Next Tuesday’s national draft is followed by the pre-season draft and rookie draft the following Friday.

In an extremely thin national draft a number of clubs might take delisted players with late picks because they can sign them up for only a single season.

Clubs must sign 18-year-olds on two-year deals and many are reluctant to commit to kids they don’t believe will ever make the grade.

Adcock’s manager Anthony McConville confirmed on Tuesday the Dogs were one of several clubs who had expressed interest in the former captain.

The Dogs would seem more likely to consider him for the rookie draft next Friday given they have only four national draft picks — 20, 21, 30 and 51.

“The Dogs have an interest, that’s all I can say. He has met with a couple of clubs and time will tell where they and the Western Bulldogs sit, but I am confident he will be at another club,’’ McConville said.

“He has been doing boxing and has a personal trainer in Brisbane so he’s working really hard in the off-season to really prove a point.

“He is a proud man and he is looking forward to making the most of another opportunity.

“At this stage he won’t get picked up as a free agent but as to where he ends up, that will be up to the footy gods.”

He would be excellent cover. He's only 29 too I thought he was a bit older.

McConville has a cheek putting the media pressure on us. Whats happened to the old straight bat approach of yes there is a club or two interested? Still I wouldn't expect much in ethics from him.

I think it's an interesting approach to consider him but it might not sit well with potentially a 29yo being added even if it is a rookie spot. I think it's probably insurance for Clay Smiths injury.

Better ethics than his older brother.
Google Mark McConvlle.

No Thankyou on Adcock

We can rookie him and play him straight away by placing Clay on the LTI list, he'll take longer than 8 weeks to get back.
I'm comfortable with it, he's just turned 30 according to Wiki and probably has a year or two longer left than Boyd

[Axe Man]

We have to remember our rookie list is effectively only 3 players next year with Roarke Smith likely to miss most of the season.

We probably can't afford to have 3 speculative long term prospects take up those rookie spots. We will need at least one ready to go player that we can call upon if needed. Adcock fits that bill. He would be a Brett Goodes replacement.

[josie]

I like Adcock as a player and think he has plenty to offer, whether that be as mentor in VFL or to play in senior side. Also, he is reasonably tall. Hopefully we can use a rookie spot rather than use one of our main draft picks.
