    They've been doing it for every club. Some bits are ok, other bits are nonsensical.

    He says we are doing damage to English, and at the same time says he could eventually develop into a Grundy type - yet is oblivious to the irony in that Grundy played more games at the same age as English.

    Fox saying that Hawthorn is out of any running on Brad Hill. Different media outlets have Saints, Cats, Dee's, Blues & Dogs as interested/need for him. Also says that a package deal with his brother, who is a free agent, would ge a major card to play to get Brad. We have a great trading relationship with Freo over the passed three years, so maybe it can bear some more fruit. Not sure what they'd want exactly in return.

    Leg speed and crisp disposal X 2 sounds good to me. It would certainly address PG's wish to attract top indigenous talent.

    Would leave just about enough salary cap for one of Tomlinson, Papley or Martin (or the like).

    Bevo on Brad Hill:

    Less than 24 hours after AFL.com.au revealed Victorian clubs were chasing Docker Bradley Hill for 2020, Beveridge said the Dogs were yet to join the race.

    Hill and Beveridge previously shared a close bond in their time together at the Hawks from 2012-2014.

    "Hilly's a great young fella, I have (got a relationship) but we haven't inquired in Brad's (movements)," Beveridge said.

    "I shouldn't say that because if you ask me a question about another player and I don't say that we haven't inquired then you're going to think we have inquired.

    "I'd rather stay out of it. Out of respect to our group, I don't like to talk about any of that stuff publicly, it's just not right."

    I think it's a decent read with some speculation from Goddard, not sure why he is copping criticism for it.

    The he says that we might be targeting I'd say are well known.

    Because suitors are lining up for Fletcher Roberts apparently.

    Quick, lock him up with another extension.

    One glaring issue I had with the article was the insistence our midfield group needs one more and then started talking about Ed Richards. Bailey Smith says hi.

    Could we play Caleb and Lewis Taylor in the same team?
    I’m not a huge Taylor fan but having two vastly undersized players in the same team seems to be inviting match up problems.

    If he was playing in the backline alongside Caleb, sure. I'm looking at it from a small forward angle so I don't think it matters.

    Taylor, Cavarra, Betts, Papley, Tippa are all around the same height. I'm sure we could fit one of those guys in the same team as Daniel.

    I think most of us see the need for a quality small forward, I don't care if they are 170cm or 180cm, if they kick goals and create pressure their height won't matter.

    But the prevailing wisdom with Caleb before he was drafted was he was too short to play. Sometimes I think that we get too caught up with what players can't do and overlook what they do well.
