    Re: Early Trade Rumours for 2022

    Completely agree. Pearce has played 11, 0, and 10 games the past three years, and missed the entire 2017 with injury as well. He’s already missed one game with injury this year and looks like missing another on the weekend. Unless it’s at zero trade cost (and I mean zero) then I wouldn’t bother.

    i think Bevo said we wouldn't be active in the mid season draft.

    We didn't try to cover the long term injuries to Bruce and McLean and we didn't do a lot with our Covid Contingency list so I think you're right and we might sit this one out.

    We don't have any long term injuries at the moment so we don't really have a choice. Only possibility might be Hannan but hopefully for his sake he is back soon.

    Options are minimal and unless it was someone already at Footscray and playing well it was at best a long shot

    Could we delist Martin and get another ruck if there was one available?

    Not sure you can do that but we should have added a ruckman during the trade period.

    Surely a retirement opens a list spot?

    I don’t mind the idea.

    We would have to agree it off with him, and he can stay as Ruck coach

    No he can't, there would be zero room in the soft cap.

    Besides, we really aren't going to find anyone significantly better than Martin at this stage. Stef goes pretty well at VFL level from reports and that's the level of player we could conceivably bring in. I also don't think forcing someone without a long term injury to retire mid season sends a positive message to the playing group. Only way this should happen is if Stef decided to pull the pin off his own bat.

    The concept is being driven as much by the fact that Stef is, again, injured though. So I guess if we were to get a VFL ruck we'd be looking for someone less injury prone. Sure, no promises they don't get injured, but equally the likelihood of Martin being available to play later in the year even IF we needed him to, is probably pretty low as he's likely to get another injury.

    I notice that Joel Garner has nominated for the mid season draft. I would have thought "Big Bird" was getting on a bit, its been a while since he bowled for the Windies. However, surely he must be the answer to out ruck problem, age notwithstanding. He really isn't that much older than Stef Martin !
