Might depend on what the likes of Dunkley and JJ do, salary cap and list spaces the main issues as Jones and Gardiner won't require trades.

Not that I want to get into a height argument but officially listed as 192cm. I have never taken much notice of him but he ranks below average for intercept marks this season and career. May just be the role he plays though.

All the signs look like we will add Lobb to the team so if Gardiner becomes available both he and Lobb should improve us but perhaps we prefer the cheaper option of Jones.
Who's likely to go or be traded at the end of the season or who might be in the mix?
Johannisen
Butler
Wallis
Martin
Cordy
McLean
Hunter
Schache
and of course Dunkley remains unsigned.
Hunter? What's going on there?

Do you think we could find regular spots for two key defenders?

Just some of the whispers around that his manager might be putting the feelers out.

Ok. Hadn't heard that one.

I think we do need two decent ones personally. To me Keath is better suited to the interceptor role he did at Adelaide(though he may be a bit cooked) and I don't really rate Gardner.
We are in the wondow so if we can upgrade any positions we should be going for it. Our time is now.

Re: List Managment thread (For 2022)
Is Darcy Gardiner any better than our Gardner, or Cordy?
Sure he's a solid citizen but I doubt he makes the difference, and there will likely be a cost. He would be perfect for a club like Norf.
Who else could be on the market we can bring in who could make a difference? Logue? What if he wants to stay in Perth?
If Jones comes in then we also need to draft a good key back. That is the way to go in my view.

If we were to land Jones I 100% agree we would also need to draft a genuine key defender as well.
Regarding Darcy Gardiner, he is just how you have described him, a solid player. How much of a difference that would make I'm not sure of.

Re: List Managment thread (For 2022)
I would only look at Darcy Gardiner if he came at minimal cost. I think others will be interested enough that he won't. If cheap, he is an upgrade on Zaine I think.

then on that basis I'm keeping Zaine every day of the week. We know he will give his best and is a Bullgod. That is better than someone who might possibly be better that isn't is Bullgod.

Yeah, it's a good call. Not worth it.

Re: List Managment thread (For 2022)
Darcy Gardiner is a good ultra defensive stopper but he gets injured a lot. Worth a look at the right price and assuming he is physically ok.

He's a much better footballer than Zaine, more like a Morris type. Not saying hes as good as Dale but he'd walk into our defence imo.

Darcy Gardiner- NO but get Liam Jones and have Sam Darcy as our intercept defender. Will be agood way for him to learn the game and he can pinch hit in the ruck and up forward if needed.
