Who would you target for trade now?

Moneyball style, could Masten be our De Boer? We lack a run with midfielder.

I don't think so, he's a god awful kick and I think his best footy is well behind him.

Could Wallis do this role?

Is this something that Wallis or Libba could do. If we couldn’t get Elliott I would head to the draft as it’s been a good solution for us over the last few years. I think we need to look st getting some more Pace and zip. Another B Smith would be nice.

Can’t believe you pitted me Chef

Re: Who would you target for trade now?

After watching us get pushed aside like a school boy team in that first final it made me wonder 'do we need more tough mongrels?' This years team is more talented than the premiership version but we were far tougher in 16. It always looks worse than it probably really is after a loss like that but it really stood out to me.
We've lost Smith of the Clay variety, Pickers, Ronnie Biggs, Moz & Dahl as well as libba & Dicko who weren't selected. All in my book tough hombres of varying degrees but tough none the less.
Watching the tigers physicality yesterday was impressive. Do we have a list that can develop that kind of tough edge to it or do we need to bring that in?

Tough hombres aren't much chop if they can't find nor use the footy, and we can't squander a spot on a fringe hard-arse in case things get willing, it's a misguided response to what happened against the fluoro turds. Sure, Trengove or Libba would've flown the flag, but that's beside the point because they hurt us worse with the pill than anything that occurred off-ball.

Conversely, I'm reminded of that epic Bob line while addressing the squad prior to a bounce;

"If they come after one, they come after all. They can't handle all!"

We'd do well to remember that.

I agree, the so called hard stuff was the sniping not the genuine tough stuff. We lost that game because our mids couldn't get their hands on the ball.

They did come for one & the all did nothing. We were physically intimidated against the giants & thats what planted the seed. We did have 11 pups play their first final so i know these pups will improve with more finals exposure. I'm just a tad concerned that finals footy is a different beast to home & away stuff & do we have the right balance to thrive in September.

Bit early on that call
Yeah if we got intimidated again , I’d agree
One game isn’t a great sample size

Remi it did happen a few times during the year. The saints game was another example we couldn't handle the heat in the kitchen.

Throw the kitchen sink at Darcy Moore and Jamie Elliott, get rid of Jong, Roberts, Lynch, Gowers for next years draft points, and be incredibly happy with this trade period.

Probably right , but there is going to be games where you get that

That’d be my thoughts - he played that role well in 2014/15 I thought. 15 he broke out more as an inside mid I think with Libba out.

Re: Who would you target for trade now?

Initially The Herald Sun & Ricky Nixon had said we were into Zac Clarke as a back up ruck. He’s not getting a contract at Geelong. Reporting in the last week said GCS & Essendon interested. Essendon have interviewed Phillips from Carlton in between. If they prefer Phillips and Smith isn’t interested in going back to GCS if we had a like offer. Zac Smith for pick 84 (or DFA) seems like a good insurance ruckman (& cheap).

Vred you I are the man. I would love it. I would give up anything for these two it would complete us no doubt at all
