    It's entirely their own fault.
    They started a rebuild, then abandoned it and spent $2.8m on four flankers.

    None appeal from a list improvement point of view.
    Last year I would have asked about Fogarty as I rated him at u18 level as a hard tackling defensive type but I'd rather back VDM/Garcia in now.

    Note: I'm very glad Carlton took O'Brien and left Richards for us (thank you Monash traffic jam)

    Absolutely
    They're 7 years into what was a 2 or 3 year rebuild

    Re: 2021 Trade Target/s

    Sydney appear to have salary cap problems.

    Luke Parker reportedly chasing $700K which adds further to their issues.

    I’m not suggesting we chase him but who can we target?

    Do we chase Melican again?
    Sinclair or McLean as a ruck?

    Anyone else?

    I really like McLean, but I think he is more a big clunk them forward than the ruckman we need.

    Would be an interesting Bruce replacement.

    I also see him as more a forward than ruck, but don't think he is what we need.

    What's going on with Ronke? My Swans supporting mate thinks he may even be cut this year. He was a first rounder and I remember him tearing it up a few years ago with two big bag games. Seems to have injury concerns but I also remember him having very good pressure.

    I had a look at his stats last night. Take out his 7 goal game and it’s pretty average reading. It was a hell of a game, but he might be a one hit wonder.

    He was a rookie pick in 2017.

    Depends a lot if they get Cerra or not as to who they resign.

    I relish the position they are in. If a new coach comes in and mandates a rebuild then they're effectively admitting there's no reason to be sacking Teague, because their list isn't up to it.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    Sam Reid as a KPD?
    He breaks down too much as a forward and was coming off a $600k contract IIRC

    From memory he has actually played this role ok at Sydney. That is a good suggestion.

    Yep coming off a lot of coin on a long term deal.

    His body would be a major worry. I am too young to know if his dad was as injury prone as Sam and his brother Ben.

    Yep, out of contract this year and looks to be it. If there was interest it would be as a DFA.
