2020 Player movement

Re: 2020 Player movement

My fear of English not being our number one ruckman for the next 10 years is the want of both Perth clubs offering him big bucks to go home. He needs to be our number one priority in the rucking department. If your proposal is to play English as number one ruck, use Goldstein as a back-up and a plonk him in a forward pocket (or something similar); then I"m all for it. If your proposal is to have Goldstein compete for the number one rucking postion week after week, then that's a hard NO from me.

More like what St Kilda are doing with Marshall and Ryder. Both take turns at centre bounces, both spend time up froward, both fill gaps around the ground.

MJP has written about players developing rapidly when surrounded by quality players in the same position. I'd imagine learning from Goldy would do wonders for Timmy's ruck craft.

Re: 2020 Player movement

After recalling five veterans, the Hawks are on the verge of getting done by a mob broadly hailed as among the worst going around this century.

There'll never be a better time you'd think to enquire about Gunston, or Burgoyne, or anyone 27-and-over for that matter.

For all the recent debate around here re: Schache, I'd still gladly offer them him + sundry assets for Gunston who's good enough to remain effective despite the shit-show around him.

To be fair that could be said for all VIC teams

Burgoyne looking a bit cooked tonight, unfortunately. I really like the idea of offering him a playing/coaching role but not sure if he has much left in the tank.

I think a coaching/Head of Indigenous programme/development role/player coaching role at Footscray if he should feel the need.

Give him all the roles. He is likely the link to finally getting some Indigenous talent picking us.

What about Jon Ceglar for a ruck stop gap. Can go forward.

Adam Saad still out of contract at Bombers. Interesting.

Essendon went out and tried to bolster their team with some ready made players and one can argue they got the wrong players. I think Saad has been good for them, Devon Smith I don't rate at all, Stringer on reputation and proving he is an average player and Shiel I think is a good player, but he wasn't what they needed. Essendon really need some inside mids and it just goes to show if you are chasing players, you have to trade for need.

For us, I don't think we need an Adam Saad.

I know we have a glut of half back types but I really rate this guy, super elite speed to break the lines, great kick and decision maker. Can't have too many good players? He's current contract only 400k. He is worth a lot more than that. Be interesting to see how they manage to keep him. I assume Daniher will have a big say in their ability to re-sign guys.

Fair enough, but I wouldn't be over paying

Saad sucks. If I ever want to know what it's like to have Saad play for my side I'll just run as fast as I can directly into a brick wall from 50m away.

Can Adam Saad defend at all ?
