    Hasn't played at all in 2021, we just have to be asking the question.
    He's light but athletic, 2m tall and in terms of contract + opportunity we have to be an attractive option.
    Yeah, I like this suggestion. These are types we should be digging into very hard, gettable too.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    I would try and throw some big dollars at him and say play for the remainder of the season (mid season draft), and help us win a premiership. Then see how he feels for next year. Surely in that time he would be able to help Keath and Young in a mentoring role.

    I like him but is he what we want?

    I'm pretty all in on the whole English as a forward offering occasional chop outs in the ruck thing, I don't want him to become our number one ruck again.

    From what I've seen of Chol he is a bit similiar to English in that he isn't a main ruck guy but more of a backup that can have an impact around the field. Do we want two second ruck types on the list? I'd rather we put our ruck dollars into someone who can be the main guy there.

    Happy to be corrected on Chol though.

    If we have to drag him out of retirement rather than him actively wanting to come out of retirement then I question just how hungry he'd be on the field.

    He's always had things in his life that matter more than football to him.

    I'd target him as a KPD, he has the speed and reach and has played some minutes there at VFL & AFL level.
    Buks and Chol would be a membership bonanza for us too.

    Think he'd be fine once he committed to it - i.e. Dunkley being forced to stay. Different situation but same same.

    The fact that it could potentially only be for half a season might have some appeal.

    I'm also in the camp of wanting Moore if the price is right. But it won't be so I'd pass. He's not exactly what we need. Moore wouldn't do much better than others on our list in 1-on-1 situations. We need a lockdown defender. Again, I'm not saying I don't want him. But for the salary cap and picks we'd have to give up for him, I think we're better off going down a different path. Lockdown defenders can be gotten fairly cheaply. They don't need to be world beaters. Just reliable enough to allow our other defenders to do their work.

    Yeah they are. Just ask Adam Trealor. Or even Mick Malthouse.

    I agree with what you say about lockdown defenders though. It's not the most glamorous position in he game so they are invariably undervalued. I was on the Alir Alir bandwagon from mid 2017 when the Swans just wouldn't play him for some reason even when he was fit.

    I'd be really surprised if we let him go cheaply. As I said in another thread, he's a first round draft pick who'd played 90% of games leading up to this year.
    Yep. No way we let him go unless the offer is too good to refuse. A player that makes us better straight away or a first round pick. Ed is a first choice/best 22 player with us when he's fit.

    Maybe we can sell him on the romance of playing with his dad's old club? In his dad's old position? And maybe a chance of winning a premiership medal with his dad's old club playing in his dad's old position?

    That'd be up to him. Play in a premiership with us and I'd be happy to buy him a beer.

    Do any of our Adelaide Woofers have any insights into why McAsey isn't getting a game at Adelaide? He signed on again earlier in the year...but hasn't been sighted thus far?
    Has his form in SANFL been poor?

    Does anyone know if Gunston is a chance ? One of the senior players not happy on the whole clarkson/mitchell handover attempt.
