Dogs Chasing Lonie

Tom Morris reporting (grains of salt required)

If we were ever considering Lonie, I sincerely hope last nights game changed our mind. He fumbled a ground ball when in the clear against the Eagles. At his size he cannot afford to fumble.

If we are desperate someone should convince the recruiting team that Peter Wright could play small.

While that isn't true he is the player in the article that I would want. Seems the type of player to partner English as forward/ruck

I am fearful about the too good to be true factor!

Yep, I hear ya... I keep thinking Ayce Cordy.

[Mofra]

Based on current trends, if we traded in Lonie he'd win our goal-kicking in 2021 then revert a fringe player in 2022.
Gowers, Lloyd...

Gosh I hope Bruce keeps up this trend in 2020.

No need to fear.

I can't stand Jack Lonie - have an irrational hatred of his smug head and his penchant for playing for frees all the time under the slightest of opposition pressure. And somehow I don't think he will raise his game if he ever plays in finals.

[Dancin' Douggy]

EXACTLY!!! They are out there........

And anyone could have had him (and Tim Kelly for that matter).

Are there any players in their early 20s showing something at WAFL/SANFL level that have previously been overlooked? If so, we should be enquiring.

Ha, he's actually a nice guy. Played golf with him a couple of times, and he seems friendly enough.

I did say it was irrational

I offer Todd Goldstein a 2 year contract, let him play out his final years in a team that can make finals, and once his contract is up English should be a fully fledged ruck. Having a mature ruck to teach English would be the added benefit.

...and no Josh Dunkley in the ruck anymore.

Another one jumping on the Goldstein train. Welcome aboard.

just got done watching the Roos Freo game and honestly he was the standout for the Roos, probably their best on ground. Having him ruck for our midfield would be insanely good.

Agreed, but what would we offer Norf?

What's his contract situation? He just resigned right?

Surely no more than a 3rd rounder

His halfway through a 3 year contract.

getting him would only happen if the Roos went the hard rebuild route, something that’s talked about but who knows what they’re doing with that.
