Who would you have JMac target this year?

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

Reading a bit too much into it. Doesn't he now come out of contract end of 19 like Bont, and they were from the same draft year.

Yes but I would assume Bonts next contract (which I hope is done next year) will be a big one.

I think Jack is thinking he's got a fair bit of improvement in him and will command 800k+ in the next 2yrs. 500k is great value for the saints

This.

Has some flaws, but plenty to work with and the type of player we simply don't have on the list.

Yeah, I think sometimes we get caught up too much with what a player can't do and tend to overlook what he does well.

Spot on.
Footy is very much a popularity and perception contest now and so many focus on a perceived flaw in a player and make it out to be a bigger issue than it probably is.

The Terry Wheeler philosophy. "show me what you can do well and I'll give you a place in my footy team to do it"

Michael-Angelo Rucci reckons if Lever goes, it's too us.
After what happened with Hurley , who knows ?

Well, let's hope he hasn't all but promised his services to us and then renege. Like Hurley. I'd really like him.

Adelaide aren't likely to continuity up the money they are offering Lever until they are breaking their salary cap to keep all their stars like Essendon did with Hurley.

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

Im keen on Lever who looks to be a player that can play both ends of the ground its just a matter of price. He isn't a gun defender yet, there is still question marks about his one one one capability, I noticed last night the crows had a kid playing on Franklin so I'm not sure I'd be giving up 2 first round selections( Hurley is worth 2 first round selections). It will be interesting to see what we are willing to give up but promising signs Michaelangelo is linking him with us at this stage of the game.

Looking most likely as having pick 9, or pick 8 if St Kilda jump us.

A small silver lining. Now get shopping JMac. Lever, Kelly, Kruezer & Matera covers some areas.

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

We might as well finish 11th now .Lever, Kelly let's have a crack

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

Kelly and Alir. If we cannot get Kelly then Lever and Alir.

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

I don't think we can land Kelly with a top 10 pick, we would need to cough up next years pick as well but we might something back
That would be a massive financial and list management investment

I'm not sure what it would take to get Lever.

The real consideration for the club is if they genuinely believe the 2017 season is an aberration or if we will need a couple of years before we become genuine contenders again? Based on what I've seen this season it might not be a quick bounce back.
Huge decision to make.

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

Whatever it takes for Kelly

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

I'm in the Kelly camp if its a choice between him and Lever.
We need a skilled mid who can help connect our forward line and who can help take the load off Bont. Right now its a no brainer for opposition coaches as to how to shut us down : Stop Bont.
But i don't think we're even in the convo for Kelly.
I can say this if we have another off season like last where we failed to address key list weaknesses its likely to be another frustrating season.

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

Why not have both?

Let's put someone of value up to get both.
