This.
We are dreaming if we think we could get them.

The question could be asked but he has just been so embedded in their system for so long. Always talks about how important family support has been during his football trajectory. Worth a shot.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

If you're referring to me I was talkin about Darcy Gardiner who plays for Brisbane, not Ryan.
I should leave it alone but you're not right

No not at all.
Plenty of posters have misspelled his name.

While we are at it can we sort out the use of his instead of he's and passed instead of past?

Yes please. And should/could have instead of should/could of.

Then and than. Effect and affect.
Thank you

Re: 2021 Trade Target/s
Sam Taylor is the one we should be going for. Tall, really good lockdown defender in the Harris Andrews mould. Would be hard to pry from GWS.
Other options could include Josh Rotham, who is playing a fair bit for West Coast and is a pretty mobile tall and Trent McKenzie (yeah I'm not sold either) who was serviceable in the role last year before being pushed out by Aliir and is still just 29.

Re: 2021 Trade Target/s
GWS moved on Corr because they had Taylor ready to go. No way are they contemplating giving up a missing piece key defender to their bitter rivals.

Re: 2021 Trade Target/s
Taylor is also contracted for next year (I checked when we started on this because he’d be perfect).

McKenzie is 'ok' but not KPD sized.
If we want a 193cm defender, J-Kolo from Geelong would probably suit us a little better than Rotham.

Re: 2021 Trade Target/s
We’re just not going to get a gun defender fall into our laps (again) and the idea of picking up some cooked 30+ cashing in for a superannuation year seems like a horrible idea. I also don’t want anymore tweener 189-195 types.
We need to scour the lists and find a maturing but fringe 195+ tall forward and convert them to defence.

Watching the replay, I feel we have enough talent. Jamarra can come in eventually and Naughton can go back.
