I am thinking the same.

Let's give Luke Lowden a lifeline to extend his career and become the first Eker HoF legend.

Not a lot of quality on that list. Morabito the only one but his body looks shot with recurring soft tissue injuries now crippling him after all of his knee ops. Poor bloke never had a shot at it.

Jack Grimes at one stage knew what he was doing. He may be worth looking at depending on his injury history?

He is the one in that list who I gave a thought to as well azabob.

Was joint captain at a young age, copped injuries and lost his way in Melbourne's wretched system. As a third tall defender, he is really smart, versatile, mobile and wins a heap of ball (after missing nearly all this year, he had 32 possessions, 8 tackles in first game back - averages a tick over 20 possessions per game career wide). He strikes me as the type who could really thrive under our system.

If we do lose Hamling, he would be solid depth for Morris. Under Bevo and Bubba's guidance, could end up being quite valuable. As a 27yo we'd get for nothing, I can see how a rookie role at least would be tempting.

Not massively keen, but can see some merit in considering him.

I spoke to a Melbourne supporter yesterday about him and he said basically the same thing. He lost his way in Melbourne's wretched system and his decision making has suffered.

Daniel Merrett & Reece McKenzie worth a look

I think both have retired from AFL football. McKenzie has apparently struggled with the professionalism required and I don't think Merrett has another season in him.

Did he miss a bit of footy this year because of injury Daniel Merritt?

No he played nearly all of the season. He might have missed just 1 or 2 games

No need for a Merret type. Adams will be back next year, and he's an upgrade already.

Stick with the draft, but we could do with another ruckman who has already been in the system for 2-3 years.

Liam McBean from Richmond?
202cm,22 years old,been in the system for 2 or 3 years.
Drafted as a forward but hey so was Tommy Boyd and look what Bevo has tapped into with him.

If we are rookie drafting a young ruckman, it might be worth a shot.

As for Merrett, hasn't he got a 3 or 4 match ban? Hard to recruit and pay for an old fella who can't play much of the first month.

He is a worse version of Ayce Cordy. All hype, no substance.

Richmond chose to keep Ivan Maric over him.
