Who would you have JMac target this year?

[GVGjr]

"GOLD Coast foundation player Brandon Matera looks set to seek a fresh start in 2018."
Any interest? 25 yo he looked very good early on but has had some injury issues of late.

He could be worth having a talk to. The injuries are a concern and maybe it's just me but I'd like to be extra careful with GC players

[Twodogs]

Averages just over two a game.

Easy enough to miss.

[bornadog]

Easy enough to miss.

Eddie Betts, the expert small forward averages 3.3, which is pretty good. Dickson on 2.8

[boydogs]

Rated him early on but hasn't gone on with it. Much like the whole club really. Not sure whether he could turn it around elsewhere

A defencive mindset can be taught in reasonable time, knowing how to get the ball and how to put it through the sticks is much harder to teach.

If Matera is able to pass a medical and can commit to what our club wants then we should do all we can to nab him.

He could be a gun for us, and we could all believe if we concentrate on the things he can do rather than those he supposedly can't.

He is the sort of small we need in the forward line as we have no one beside Dickson with any goal sense. He is also a good kick at goal which is something we don't have. Ballantyne would also be worth looking at for a year or two as we have no one small who kicks goals consistently.

I think Ballantyne has had his day, I practically can't remember him kicking a goal for 3 years.

not in anyone's lifetime

[Twodogs]

Ballantyne is still on an AFL list? The one from Freo?

[The Bulldogs Bite]

He is actually the type we need. A genuine classy small forward, with terrific goal sense.

This.

Has some flaws, but plenty to work with and the type of player we simply don't have on the list.

I actually think Caleb could play this role very well....but he is needed further up the field.

[bornadog]

Billings has signed for two years

They got him fairly cheap. But 2 years is interesting

I would have thought at least 3 years.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Reading a bit too much into it. Doesn't he now come out of contract end of 19 like Bont, and they were from the same draft year.
