    Re: Players On The Market 2016

    Cash Converters (delisted, cheap and has some argument no matter how weak), so far (not advocating them necessarily):

    Boomer, Liam McBean, Jay Schultz, John Butcher, Jayden Foster

      If two negatives do indeed make a positive then we might just have something with recruiting Cloke. His accuracy at goal is abysmal and our forward coaching is possibly worse than Cloke's conversion.

        Hawthorn have apparently thrown a very big offer at Vickery, so say NewsCorp. Looks more and more likely he's heading there.

        With Minson cooked, we need another ruckman. So in terms of other cheap or free agent potential rucks, it's Zak Clarke (FA) & Liam McBean (DFA) in the market if the above report is true.

          I was thinking specifically Paul Ahern. Pick 7 in the 2014 draft, he is still yet to play a game. Outside player with good skills and a bit of pace, could he come relatively cheaply like Jono O'Rourke did for Hawthorn?
          He's yet to play a game because his ACLs are made of ramen noodles. No unless he comes astoundingly cheap.

              Never, did I miss your post? Does anyone takes NewsCorp at their word?

                Unfortunately, yes.

                    The GWS Rejects, AKA Carlton, are the front runners here.

                    Hard to say what he's worth. Pick 6 from only 2 years ago but with a few injury issues both pre and post being drafted. Our first would be too much but not sure if our second pick would be enough?

                      Try to use Stevens or Jong somehow and done way to get one of GCS 3 or 4 picks in the low-mid 20's. That should do it.

                        What about Nicholls, the Gold Coast ruckman, he may be looking for greener pastures?

                          I hope he finds them a long way away from Whitten Oval. If Jarrad Grant was 5cm taller, they'd be the same player except at least Grant has a few tricks.

                              I posted an article a couple of pages back that said he is expected to re-sign with the Suns.

                                Carlton are into Tomlinson. I don't think they have the room for both
