While that isn't true he is the player in the article that I would want. Seems the type of player to partner English as forward/ruck

Re: List Management for 2020/21
Based on current trends, if we traded in Lonie he'd win our goal-kicking in 2021 then revert a fringe player in 2022.

Re: List Management for 2020/21
I can't stand Jack Lonie - have an irrational hatred of his smug head and his penchant for playing for frees all the time under the slightest of opposition pressure. And somehow I don't think he will raise his game if he ever plays in finals.

Are there any players in their early 20s showing something at WAFL/SANFL level that have previously been overlooked? If so, we should be enquiring.

Ha, he's actually a nice guy. Played golf with him a couple of times, and he seems friendly enough.
TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

Re: List Management for 2020/21
I offer Todd Goldstein a 2 year contract, let him play out his final years in a team that can make finals, and once his contract is up English should be a fully fledged ruck. Having a mature ruck to teach English would be the added benefit.
...and no Josh Dunkley in the ruck anymore.

Another one jumping on the Goldstein train. Welcome aboard.

just got done watching the Roos Freo game and honestly he was the standout for the Roos, probably their best on ground. Having him ruck for our midfield would be insanely good.

Agreed, but what would we offer Norf?
"I'll give him a hug before the first bounce and then I'll run into my pack and give them orders to rip him apart."

What's his contract situation? He just resigned right?
Surely no more than a 3rd rounder

His halfway through a 3 year contract.
getting him would only happen if the Roos went the hard rebuild route, something that’s talked about but who knows what they’re doing with that.
