Who would you have JMac target this year?

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

Jack Lonie confirms looking for a new home. Pretty sure someone mentioned they would be interested.

That was me. Really like him as a player and we'd have to be interested.

Lonie and 8 for Stringer? Would still be awful but I could swallow it.

Motlop's (and his ilk) a classic example of why forwards of small to medium size really struggle in big and tight games when those up the ground get found out for grit and class.

In the AFL there's not a lot of jobs easier than defending his type of flanker or pocket when your ground set up and team defence is working well. It's why forward pocket and forward flank are the hardest positions to play in the modern game.

Makes Eddie Bett's effort on Thursday night seem even better. GWS were a rabble down back for large parts of the game though. Maybe not so much down back but defensively. The ball was coming in quickly to a largely empty forward Adelaide forward 50 a lot of the time is my point.

No thank you. Do...not...rate. Not sure I could survive seeing us lose Stringer and then get the little spud as part of the deal.

I would prefer to see us make a play for Short at Richmond. Quick and a penetrating kick. Anyone know his contract status?

Trade Whsiperer on Twitter suggesting that Armitage might be heading our way as part of a Stringer trade. Not exactly thrilled by this idea, even though our midfield stocks need bolstering.

I want more. I hope there's an all out bidding war if he wants out. All. Out.

Unfortunately bidding wars dont happen. He'll chose a club and we'll negotiate with them.

You would hope so the dude is 30 next year and I'm not sure out list requires another inside mid.

Robert Z'Dar playing for the Bulldogs eh?

Ordinarily, but he's under contract. So this time we hold the cards for a change. I think he's after huge coin, so if that's the case and there's a few similar offers at the pointy end from a few clubs, maybe we might jump get adequate compo.

Or he stays, knuckles down, finds some form and looks at his contract status next year. Him staying is a fine worst case scenario.

They'd (if it's St Kilda) have to offer up guys picked at a similar point in the draft, such as Billings, McCartin, Longer etc. with or without adding picks into the trade depending on the player.

Would we go for 7&8 as a trade? They probably wouldn't but I'd start there

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

I like the idea of bolstering our midfield, but not a guy with a dud set of adductors who might be likely to slide further in terms of output.

The 'aints first pick in the draft plus their second rounder and someone like Lonie would probably get it done.

I can't see us getting a top 10 pick straight up for Stringer but there are a few other ways to a deal done if it actually comes to that.
We might throw in our 2nd round pick or we might be able to do a deal with the likes of Richmond who could be looking for draft value index points to make sure they get their father son pick.

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

Billings and pick 8 or piss off saints. Otherwise we force him stay for another year and recommence trade negotiations next year.

Am I the only one who hopes this might be the trigger to turn Stringer's career around.....at our club?
