Re: 2020 Player movement
North are apparently interested in Aidan Corr.
I know GVGjr was very keen on him before he signed his latest contract.
He appears to have recovered from his injuries.
From memory he appears more lockdown than not.
Any interest?

At the right price and after a thorough medical I would be very interested. Leon’s a big fan of him but he’s had quite an injury interrupted career to date. His arrival should give us far better balance in deep defence.

Re: 2020 Player movement
Norf apparently want to move on Polec if another club will pitch in for part of his salary. He still has 3 years.
Do they know what they are doing?
Another club could swoop & get his for 3 years for possibly around $350k per season

On 350K a year, that is some decent value but I just don't think he's the type we should be bringing in.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Well for starters Bevo and Bains
I'd also say no and be sticking with Bruce.
I've been very impatient with him this year but that is more or less about why we are playing him.
I'm confident he will be a vastly better player next year though
Where is Polec's best position and who would he replace?

Re: 2020 Player movement
For $350k, I would take him and play him at HFF. We are really falling down around that half forward line.

On a wing opposite Hunter maybe ?

Re: 2020 Player movement
We lack a hard edge in the side, bringing in Polec does not help this.
I'd rather throw $350K at Burgoyne for 2 years.

For what ever reason I thought he was more of a defender. If he's a winger or forward then maybe but I think we have different needs with limited spots.
Having a talk to Hamling would be high on my agenda and I'd be looking for a ruck option or at least someone capable of supporting English a bit better
I'm not sure we will be able to bring in more than two players if the list size gets reduced

Re: 2020 Player movement
I'm still on board the Goldstein train.
2 years of Goldy beating up on English in training, while giving us a genuine ruck option on gameday has a ton of benefits, IMO.

Re: 2020 Player movement
If we aren’t going to play Sweet, or have pretty much stamped his papers, we have to go out and get a genuine ruckman. Whether that is Goldy or Nankervis, I really don’t care, but enough of this farce. We need a ruckman who can play 22 games as our #1. Someone who will take body contact, and can use their body in return. Timmy is not this person for 2021.
I will never see #16 the same!!

He seems to be this year, but in the past he has kicked goals, including 16 last year.

Polec plays as a mid - wing or on ball. Don't think he spends much time forward or back.

My fear of English not being our number one ruckman for the next 10 years is the want of both Perth clubs offering him big bucks to go home. He needs to be our number one priority in the rucking department. If your proposal is to play English as number one ruck, use Goldstein as a back-up and a plonk him in a forward pocket (or something similar); then I"m all for it. If your proposal is to have Goldstein compete for the number one rucking postion week after week, then that's a hard NO from me.
