    Operation: Get Boomer Harvey

    (Having to watch North) Last night he made short, sharp laser paces to his forwards than we had today, and in numerous games of ours this year. Our forward line is dysfunctional as is our entry to them. Boomer would be easily the best player on our list to hit a forward on the full, as well as get involved in multiple score involvements and run midfield. The coaches haven't changed anything his year (at all it seems) so it seems to me it must be a personnel issue. Boomer Harvey addresses a glaring need. Although I've said many things over the years, I will swallow them whole to see us capitalise on forward entries. He's a delisted free agent and costs nothing but a spot. Do it.

    Whilst I agree, is there any point? Is our list capable of winning the flag next year?

      If we trade a few players who despite bad kicking, have some trade value, maybe. Get Vickery as a free agent and hope that Adams & Dad come back better/stronger/fitter again for defence, and Bob and others back. Natural development in a few, hopefully Tom Boyd etc. Hopefully we can contend.

          Wow. Boomer would be silly to chase a flag. Games record holder. 20 odd seasons at NM. Even if he snuck a flag with us. He couldnt stand proud back at north. He would be shot.

            there's a bloke named Crameri that will be available next season. He will help straighten us up. Much younger than Harvey.

              Get on board BAD. Doug Hawkins is already saying it publicly too.

                    Trade him for Suckling. What have we got to lose?

                      Cue a video of Terry Wallace screaming "I'll spew up!!" on endless loop, for the rest of eternity.

                      That's a no thank you from me.

                        Just on the list, I really believe we are right in the mix

                        Harvey is a good conversation but it's a doubtful inclusion for many reasons.

                          He'd potentially be a very good pick up, he's the sort of player the team really needs.

                          Having said that, I hope we don't go after him, I can't stand the little turd!

                            I think that although he has had a good season he will drop off very quickly.
                            At 39 and in a foreign team I can't see motivation to push himself to what would be needed.
