    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

    It was mentioned on radio last week that Jarrad McVeigh is open to a Sam Mitchell like move to play for a year or 2 and transition into assistant coaching. Apparently very highly regarded for his footy brain.

    If Boyd and one or both of Bob & Dale retire would we consider bringing him in for a year to provide a bit of experience down back? Also has the benefit of coming from a strong swans system and could bring some different ideas to the coaching group. Would obviously cost nothing. The only significant risk I see is his body. He has been fairly resilient over his career but has had some injury setbacks this season. If he finishes the year strongly I think it's worth considering.

    Not a fan of this. He's a smart player but painfully slow, and regularly has calf injuries. Perfect replacement for Boyd I guess but I don't see and upside when we have younger guys who can come in and play his role.
    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    4 minute mark. Giddy up, Bulldogs in box seat. Collingwood interview with Lever didn't go well.

    Also said Adelaide Gold Level members will lose their shit if they lose him, like a straw th ath broke the camels back. The camels back being Bock, Davis, Tippett, Danger and hopefully Lever. To cause then pain, the deal itself is worth it. We can give Lever the 97 jumper number.

    He's probably willing to make a move like Sam Mitchell because he's finished and Sydney won't re-contract him. Hard pass.

    Not really. I'd consider someone like Luke Hodge for a job like that and Jarryd McVeigh ain't Luke Hodge. McVeigh was hobbled in last year's grand final.

    McVeigh looks way closer to the end of his career than Bob.

    Yes, Bob keeps on getting injured but when he is in the side, he offers something very rare.

    We could do with his brilliance right now. Who can we target to do this, but also a nice bloke.:

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

    It sounds promising , but not getting carried away . The Hurley precedent got me a little cautious

    At least we are in the running. That's a good start.

    I'm not that worried about whether he's a good bloke. I just want to watch him play football not be my best mate.
