Lachie Hansen gets concussed walking into a stiff breeze, and should (and hopefully will) retire at the end of the year.

Wasn't aware of how many times he's been concussed. He's only 27 so hopefully he is ok and can continue his career.

Aaron Black seems to have stalled at North but could play that high-forward role we're looking for to compliment our existing forwards.
Seems like it could be a cheapish trade that pays off.

He's another not quite key position size though. Does he fit in the team with Stringer and Crameri back next year?

Re: Early Trade talk - Anyone we want that may be available?

as per the opening post, rumors are that Lachie Neale would look favorably at a move to a Melbourne based club.

He's actually leading the AFL in possessions this year, but would be quite expensive which probably would rule us out.

Ranked also number one for cont.poss. Can never have enough midfielders.

It's Sam Day that has put off talks.. Steven May is contracted.

Is Day a free agent?

I doubt it he is only 23 years old. He is out of contract.

Gold Coast wont have any free agents until the end of 2018 (you need to be on a club's list for 8 years to qualify for free agency).

Adam Saad's a beauty. Extremely clean below his knees, and quick .

Thanks. Presume GC would want our first round pick for Day?

Not a great defender though?

Is he hard to judge considering what is around him? In our set up it is about team defense and reacting quickly (mind & foot) so perhaps it won't be such an issue.

Re: Early Trade talk - Anyone we want that may be available?

Would take Saad in a heartbeat the way we set up our defence. A fine replacement for Murphy should he pull the pin.

Neale- Absolutely, he's a gun

Saad- Sure, but it's not an area of desperate need

Day- No. Tall and shit is still shit

Swallow is pretty meh for what they'd want for him

O'Meara has huge question marks over his long term fitness and would still probably command a Tom Boyd offer from some clubs

Jack Watts as a free agent interests me.

Jack needs to get away from Melbourne. Yeah, I would also be interested.

Not an area of desperate need but would he make our side noticeably better? Absolutely. Imagine him and JJ streaming out of defence.

Jack Watts, Josh Jenkins and Michael Hurley. That will do.
