Match Committee - Round 3 vs St Kilda

Re: Match Committee - Round 3 vs St Kilda

There is no way the Eagles will trade Darling. They are like the cat that got the cream with him. 20 yo local who can play CHF for the next decade, they aren't the type you trade! If they feel like they have a surplus, I think it will be the Big Q who makes way.

I know, I was just shooting the breeze. I think the best surplus tall out there that would come cheap is actually Jesse White, but I'll be shouted down here. He just stinks of Tomahawk Mk. 2 -- misused as a second ruck, not given continuity etc... but he's got serious presence and ability, and I just feel that in the right environment he will be a late bloomer. The Swans have largely given up on him though, would be cheap.

Yeah I know mate.

I'm actually a Jesse White 'fan' but I have faith in Cordy, Roughy and Campbell offering us a good balance between ruck and forward work. Tom Hill is also doing some 2nd ruck work at Willy.

Mitch Brown as a key defender anyone?

You're all mad, mad as hatters I say.

None of these players are going to be available. Jesus, all of them have shown around the same amount of promise, if not more as Grant, Jones and Cordy! They're not going to be put on the trade table by their respective clubs unless they genuinely want to leave them, and even then we'd have to pay big bucks to make it happen.

We wouldn't trade any of our guys that are comparable, why would any of them be put up for trade by their respective sides? Young KPF's, second, third or fourth string are held on to for a long time. Let's just develop our own.

We have 100000 talls on the list now...we just need a few of them to step up and become contributors. What don't we have? Well, seemingly midfielders who can play outside the game and run...we either need the Sherman's and Tutt's of the world to do what I said the talls need to do, or to go and find some new ones.

It seems we've overcompensated after the Eade's fleas years. Back then we had the outside players who could run, run and run and actually hit a target. Now our list is top heavy and we are missing those kind of players.

Well there should be even more surplus mids out there than talls... any floating in and out of overstocked teams that could be a good contributor? Not that anyone will want to come to us in the state we're in.
