    Re: Memo to Garlick/Fantasia/Macca/Macca - Sign Minson Now

    The club needs to make a call here - pay Minson what the market demands or go with Roughead. He is a free agent.

    My point is that no-matter who we had in the ruck this year, we probably wouldn't have won any more games (or lost any more!). We are what we are. Unless we snare an effective forward in free agency/trade period, we wont be any better next year...

    Is a trade of Minson for Dawes (yep - I know he is going ordinary atm) something worth thinking about?
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

        I hope he stays and is given more leadership opportunities.

            It's at this point in time ones has to laugh at the GC Suns for taking Josh Fraser over Will.

                I was thinking maybe getting Macintosh from North Melbourne.

                        I'm not too sure Dawes is ever going to be a player. But yes, you would think the pies would be open to a trade like that.

                            Thats not the point, I am thinking about the next few years. Also, no thanks on Dawes.

                                No reason why not. Ben Hudson is still holding his own at this level and he is 6 years older than Minson.

                                                        Beyond odd of him to make that call - putting Fraser's knee problems to the side, they've drafted kids as physically imposing as him already. You'd think Minson would've been perfect for their emerging but still slight midfield.

                                                            I don't want to lose Will either but 4 doesn't go into 1 or 1.5. If we keep Will on can we afford to keep all of Roughead, Cordy and Campbell and more importantly would they want to stay if they're played so sparingly?

                                                            Another question lost in the argument so I'll repost it.

                                                            Thoughts?
