Re: Trade talk: club-by-club analysis

Is Toovey really an attacking HBF? Averaged 12 disposals for the year, not exactly damaging by foot. Am i missing something?

I was sure he was a defensive type.

I think Toovey is a case of having better cattle on the padock and having teammates relieve a lot offthe preasure.
If Brian is up and running and we have a solid backline, could he take on the role Harbrow once played ?

Just a fringe player who's able to adapt to certain role in a good side. Would have no currency if he played for us or any weaker teams.

Fringe? Yeah right.

He is a very good shut down player who would have currency regardless of the team he played for.

Of course he is fringe.... coach loved him, team mates loved playing with him and has played every game bar injury in the last two years.

OK we'll see how he goes at his new team then.

Maybe I shouldn't have used the word fringe, had a few beers last night. Not as good as Collingwood supporters and media proclaim. Sound better?

Re: Trade talk: club-by-club analysis

Personally I think the attacking half back role is the easiest position to fill in an AFL team. Any team with an abundance of midfielders can play one or two there, or a half forward struggling to get into games can be thrown back there, I wouldn't be looking to pay overs to bring in a specialist attacking half back who's only a good ordinary player.

On the same topic we seem to be making a huge effort in the draft to recruit this skill set (Howard, Tutt, Schofield), when in reality drafting quick players with good kicking skills can play back there while developing so long as they have the required competitiveness.

If we're going to chase defenders I'd prefer to get one who can shut down a small crumbing forward. They're probably cheaper too due to be a less glamorous type of player.

Anyone available?

Same as Wood; Easten averaged 12.1.
Toovey had a little more disjointed season and I still rate him highly - certainly more than Bower

Believe the port-wc-gws deal for ebert-cornes-brogan might've been done without the Dogs, who weren't happy with the pick offered for Hill.

Shakes head.

Maybe we just overrate everyone. Bate's worth pick 39, Hill is worth more than 49, next Minson will be worth pick 5

This i think is because we are still happy to keep Hill and see how he goes under new coach.
We dont really want to get rid of him unless an offer is very attractive, so we ask for more if we dont get it big deal he stays.

Does Hill have another year? I thought this would be the last year of his contract. If we really want to keep him then fair enough.

Not sure but from what I read we are happy to keep him.

Agree with you here Ledge. To trade him for a pick that only upgrades us 3-4 spots in the 40's is a waste of our time. I'm not a big Hill fan as his intensity is below AFL standard but he has a lot of talent and still only 22 so we must be thinking Eade couldn't get the best out of him and if macca can we will have a good player on our hands.
I'm happy for macca to give him 12 months to try and work him out. I don't think we rate our players too much but rather how was that deal going to benefit us?
I think when Eade left Hill seem to play with more enthusiasm so change of coach might be exactly what changes his career around, i hope so.

He must have another year otherwise we would get what we could for him.

According to Emma Quayle he is uncontracted.
