    I've been in contact with him today and he is in very good spirits and I let him know there has been a number of people asking about him.

    The issue is our mid sized defenders appear better and more equipped than our mid sized forwards. That could also be because of mjp theory of learning off good players. Such a simple theory but makes 100% sense.

    Thought this bit was a bit harsh but then realised you probably meant re-sign? That - makes a world of difference.

    We tried Crozier forward before he settled in defence.
    Given we traded for Crozier and Lloyd, and chased Martin and Wingard, it seems the club are very interested in medium forwards. We need class forward of the ball.

    Just on a couple of names mentioned in here - Zac Williams reportedly wants $800-900K, not sure he's worth that much or if we could fit him in the cap. Atkins is supposedly heading to Gold Coast on a long term deal - if that's 4 or 5 years for a fringe type player they can have him.

    That is true.

    I'd love to hear your thoughts on our list management for 2020/21 when you get time.

    Can't agree with you Aza on Weightman. 1st year player with a bright future. It would want to be a bloody good offer! Has impressed me more than Cavarra.

    Do agree on Parfitt though. He would be a nice fit.

    I'm glad you think that Doc because I haven't been quite impressed with him. I probably had too high expectations and for some reason thought he was more "ready to go" than other draftees. He looks very raw. But I like his endeavour. His 'go'. His personality is something we need. I just haven't liked how he's gone about it in his games so far.

    Without wanting to sound harsh on Cal, Flea spent half his pre-season in the boondocks with Cal Porter who is hardly a senior AFL player with a mountain of experience.
    He's also had no VFL games to work on our running patterns. We've had senior guys coming in cold (hello Dickson) and have little impact, so we need to reduce our expectations on Weightman for this year.

    There was rumour/talk that the Doggies were keen on Moore from Collingwood. Does he fit what we need?

    Yes there is a need. But I think there is zero chance.

    Moore is going to re-sign at Collingwood and is waiting for whatever the deal with contract extensions is that makes zero sense to be cleared up. He’s said as much a bunch of times.

    Re: List Management for 2020/21

    We rarely play ducks and drakes with our trading intentions - and we've already signalled an intention to target a small pressure forward.
    I'd expect Lonie from the Saints is target no 1, we miss out, and get Bedford from Melbourne as target no 2 who would surely see the writing on the wall after they drafted Kosi.
    Melbourne don't have a first rounder this year and might just be desperate to get back in, so we organise a trade that gives us little to no points deficit with Melbourne handing us multiple picks and Bedford. Being indigenous is a bonus too.

    I wonder if we'd ask about Hannan too? Medium forward, ex-Footscray VFL so we'd know him well, and with Dickson out and Lloyd getting to the end we really have Dale and Greene as medium forwards, with Wallis as a 'unique' forward.

    I'd like another ruck on the list but who knows if that will happen.
