    Do they want Stringer?
    I would take Haynes anytime.

    Stringer to Bombers
    Haynes to Dogs
    ??? to GWS - they'd want plenty - I wonder if Bombers first next year would satisfy them?

    Haynes would be a great get but I don't see it happening.


    On Crozier, I'll be very happy if we pick him up in a Stevens/Hrovat style third round swap. If we do elevate Roarke and we get 11 for Stringer, then 9+11 would be our only two live picks at the draft - don't need the rest. If we could work it into a Crozier and our third this year for their fourth next year or something that could be worth a look? I've liked the look of him when I've watched them - if we could turn Hunter into the elite wingman he was last year then I'll back us in with Crozier too.

    Would pick 26 being the centerpiece to get a deal done with Gold Coast for Adam Saad be worth considering? There would probably be some other considerations.
    There is something about having two speedsters like JJ and Saad that appeals to me. It might even allow for JJ to play forward or on a wing in certain games.

    Could we squeeze Saad into a list that already has a number of half back flanker types albeit on one other with his type of leg speed

    I think so, because there's so flexibility in the players. JJ at times this year looked good forward, or high half forward. We need to un clog poor skill execution in our 22, so good kickers wing to forward help. Saad back there could release Suckling into a more attacking role and not have to deal with as much one on one defending which isn't his main strength. A talented, quick, ready made player would be great at the right price. I'd prefer Kolo if he's one of the allegedly 10 players on the table.

    With possibly Stringer & Crameri out, I'd like us to be linked to a decent tall forward. Not sure there's any out there though.

    I think the game has really changed. I don't see either as tall. If you are not going to be a tall these days, be manic with your pressure. I want forwards with some explosive speed and an appetite/ability to tackle.

    They seem just as hard to get, of good quality.

    Is that Trengove and Bont?
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    How old is this photo and who are they besides the Bont? Looks like it's stringer and suckling.

    Trengove and Impey very close, he took Impey under his wing after the incident earlier in the year.
    Goodbye dinner or maybe both packaged up together ?
