Re: Proactive Poaching

Jenkins is on a roughly $750,000 contract with Adelaide.

If they pick up half of that then I'm OK with it!

Another key position player that may be worth chasing is Dan McStay from Brisbane. Out of contact, able to play at either end, good size at 195cm and not yet 24. Perhaps he could be feeling homesick?

Ha, the annual mention of McStay.
He signed a longish deal last year from memory.

Brissie do have a few young developing talls though, their academy system is going gangbusters. From memory we bid on C Bellendon (forgive spelling) who is tall and aggressive, looks an ideal foil for Naughton and he can also ruck.

He's a bit like Schache, except softer.

Um, no - as I said out of contract. Signed a 2 year deal in 2017.

Let's think more boldly. Hiya McCluggage.

He'll need a driver so McStay can come too if he likes.

Re: Proactive Poaching

Left field option, but... Noah Balta?

Huge, super athletic kid, out of contract at Richmond who has a serious salary cap squeeze post-Lynch (Astbury is a FA too). We have the picks and cap space and he seems the type of player Bevo would love - tall and mobile (he can even chop out in the ruck!)

He's very athletically gifted but I can't shake the idea he's really bad at actual football stuff. Everything he does on field with ball in hand looks so alien to him.

Looked out running a ball to goal with us.

My weekly mention of Sam Day is overdue too - seems on the outer at the Suns.

Was this the bloke who had a shot for goal from 10 metres out and looked like he kicked the ball on his wrong foot and put it out on the full? If it’s him .. no way.

This is actually the play I was thinking of when I made the comment. It was a situation that allallowed him to solely rely on his athleticism to produce something special, but his bounce looked like he was trying not to his his feet and his kick looked just as uncomfortable.

I don't know. I'm not against it but it's just something to keep in mind.

Re: Proactive Poaching

from tweet Tom Browne

The dogs want a forward, and I believe will use available space now to aggressively chase giant Adam Tomlinson. There aren’t many potential forwards available. Huge talent, he is close with dogs ceo Ameet Bains

Re: Proactive Poaching

Would be a good free agent get, if we don’t badly overpay.

Re: Proactive Poaching

What's Alir Alir's contract status at the end of this year?

I wanted him in the 2017 trade period when he hadnt played much footy over the previous 12 months. We'd pay more now but then again he's a better player now. He strikes me as the type who will improve year on year, he can already hold down a defensive spot, he would be the monster tamer we need and would release Naughton to play forward more often. I hope he's one of the players that we are in the ear of already.

Not sure why he calls him a forward? We want a CHB
