    Maybe. But he'd probably look like a Menzelloyd.

            Reality is Menzel would be a walk up start, would win our goal kicking by a long way and actually can kick straight.
            More of an In Bruges guy?

              provided he stays on the park long enough......and that there is why Geelong are happy for him to test the market

                I’m not saying that I want to get Menzel (particularly if we’re getting Lloyd)....but lets not be rude about him!!

                Would have won our goal kicking last year easily with 19 games. And would have won it this year in 13 games.

                  I would prefer neither, but if we have to make a choice I would take Menzel before Lloyd. I think he adds better experience to our forward line than Lloyd does.

                  In saying that, Mark Stevens has kyboshed the Menzel rumour.

                    Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

                    Menzel before Lloyd? No way.

                    What does Beveridge like in a player? Versatility, ability to work hard defensively and work rate. These are all weak points of Menzel. Lloyd may be uninspiring, but he fits those three criteria and as an added bonus has working knees.

                    I think Lloyd will be a regular next season and will be good. He can play through the middle, which we need as we lack depth, he has finishing ability, and has smarts.

                      Conca to Freo on 3 year deal. End of second round compensation. You would expect we will be compensated better than that ? Or is that wishful thinking.

                      Edit : For Dalhaus.

                        You'd think our worst case is at second round, currently 25. Especially with an extra year and assuming a fair bit more money. But will get pushed out by other compo. I'm still wishfully thinking end of first round if the offer is good enough to justify them making up an end of first for us (pick 19 pushed out by Lynch compo).

                          That compensation for Conca is just theoretical really - Richmond won't receive it after bringing in Lynch.

                          What $$$ is Conca supposedly getting? The latest estimate I saw on Dahl was only $450K. Conca and Dahlhaus are the same age, which is important to the compensation. Unfortunately contract length is not important so if Conca is on similar money to Dahl get ready for an end of second round pick.

                            If we can make some noise about making a trade with our Comp pick to the Suns it could easily become a first rounder with their secret formula.

                            Say May to us, if he wants out, send them Adams and an AFL manufactured first rounder for Dahl.

                              "The Cats were not happy with Dahlhaus' social media stoush with former Bulldogs skipper Robert Murphy while on leave recently, but the new recruit was on the front foot after the incident to apologise for his actions."

                                Sad to see Luke go in the circumstances. Our grand final players are getting a wee bit thin on the ground now. That is a lot of big final experience gone from the side.
