    He seems pretty chill for the most part but I am suss on anyone that fit.
    If you can't trust super fit, good looking, deep thinkers like Marcus and I, then I think that's on you.

        I went to three functions that year including a special one that the President organised that went through our success in 2016.
        Hamling and Adams walked in together on at least 2 of them. Interestingly is that Hamling wasn't known as a great mixer with the group as well but that isn't being mentioned as a negative for him.
        They are both the same age and both come from Perth. Not overly surprising they became mates and may have had some shared history.

          Hamling is from Broome but I guess they could have crossed paths at junior level.

            Hamling not on the current injury list, I wonder if he is right to go this year?

              He played round 2 and then was dropped. Played round 1 of the WAFL on the weekend so he's just not getting a game. I wonder if all the injuries have taken a toll.

                Cheers, I didn't see that. Hopefully he can get back at some stage. I liked Hamling and like many was not happy losing him

                  They aren’t playing Griffin Logue either, who from what I’ve seen is pretty good and psychotically courageous. They’ve gone from having all their key defenders out to all of them available and have almost over-catered to the position as a result. So pretty much the complete opposite of us.

                  Logue and Hamling could be guys to keep in mind at year’s end when eyeing up potential targets.

                    Logue would be great, but are we mentally ready yet to cheer for a Griffen?

                      He's a reasonable player. He'd be worth a look at

                        Depends how keen the new one is on pig shooting and phone reception.

                          Jon Ralph has been reading Woof:

                          Victorian clubs searching for a lockdown key defender have made overtures to Fremantle top-10 pick Griffin Logue as he falls out of favour at the Dockers.

                          Logue is strongly favoured to move to a Melbourne-based club next year given he is out of contract and being chased hard by teams keen for a quality defensive stopper.

                          The Swan Districts defender played 16 games last year as he looked to have hit his straps after being taken by the Dockers at pick 8 in the 2016 national draft.

                          But he has played only three of a possible five games so far this year with Alex Pearce and Luke Ryan taking the key defensive position spots.

                          The 194cm tall ranks elite for one-on-one contests and is above average for intercept marks and kicking according to Champion Data stats.

                          Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon and Richmond all need more defensive cover and one of them might consider a 24-year-old entering his peak.

                          Essendon continues to be savaged by the opposition’s best tall, with Michael Hurley still attempting a comeback but expected to retire at the end of the season.

                          Collingwood recruited Williamstown’s Charlie Dean but he has been struck down by a foot injury with Jordan Roughead providing excellent service but turning 32 in November.

                          The Dockers have roared up the AFL ladder after stockpiling a heap of exciting young kids, with captain Nathan Fyfe (back) expected to return before the mid-season bye.

                          There is still conjecture about whether key forward Rory Lobb will again ask for a trade at year’s end but at least he has played every game and kicked seven goals as a reliable forward target.

                            Well if Essendon are interested then we’re no chance as Dodo is immortal.

                              Until he offers them a 4th rounder and Andrew Phillips. Ask Bobby Hill about Essendon's trade ability

                              TBH I think Logue and Pearce are their priority signings and if we wanted, we could prise Hamling back cheaply.

                                Hamling's father sadly passed away after a long illness late last year, which I believe was one of the main reasons he returned to WA in the first place. However his partner is expecting their first child later in the year which may make him hesitant to move back to Melbourne. He is contracted until the end of 2023.
