Should we go after a ready made forward

Re: Should we go after a ready made forward

Firstly why would anyone of note want to come to us?
Bottom 4, low profile, slow ball movement; it's not a good career move.
McCartney doesn't want to trade anyway.

Unless you ask you never know. Mitch Clark ended up going to Melbourne who are at the same stage as us.

Schultz is a good forward and I get why he is the sort of player you think we should target.

I never got the Schulz ridicule. He is/was a bit of a knucklehead, but a decent player at the same time. I would have taken him then, and I'd still take him now.

Though I dare say he'd not come at bottom dollar anymore.

He was playing in a rubbish side and not performing well because of his sides inability to use the ball just as much as his attitude. If we could have gotten him at the same time we had Hall coming to us we'd have had an extremely dangerous forward line. It might have been too late, but I suppose we'll never know.

He does provide a good example of a player that we should have tried to take when his currency was low. And his is the type of player we should be looking for right now.

And it's not like we don't have the same money as them. We should have some serious wiggle room under the salary cap either next year or 2014.

If we do really want a player we can afford them.

Welcome aboard the Schulz bandwagon - seats are filling fast

I don't believe there is anyone out there that we can trade for.

In any case, the way we deliver the ball into the forward line, its a joke and any decent forward would still struggle.

Edwards is a big body but not tall, plus Edwards is a bit of a trouble maker and likes the drink.

Edwards beats up average opponents.
Guess it says alot about him that he hasn't played
Schultz type is what we need, but unfortunately Jay is 27.

You've nailed it mate, with your last comment.

Barry Hall did the best job of masking our most clear deficiency over the 2010 and 2011 seasons, which was our declining ability to move the ball forward with any system or structure.

We need to fix our forward ball movement before we even think about how our forward structure needs improving.

Trading for a gun forward will cost draft picks that need to be used on excellent ball winners and users.

Agree, The crab like ball movement isn't conjusive for any forward.
Looking at the phantom drafts wonder who'd fit that role?

I think there's a bit of chicken and egg with our ball movement.

We go short and sideways because we've got no forwards leading up and providing an option to kick to, and the forwards aren't leading because we keep going short and sideways. When Williams was playing forward and busting a gut to provide an option (which generally only lasted a half) our ball movement looked better.

Re: Should we go after a ready made forward

If we dont fix how we are delivering the ball into the forward half, then it doesnt matter who we have up forward - the wont be able to kick any goals.

I felt sorry for the likes of Jones, Roughead, Cordy this season - the delivery to them was shocking and gave them no chance.

Re: Should we go after a ready made forward

Another top post Savage. Go and watch a replay of the North game and have another stab. He may not be a gun and may never be but what jollies do you get from pot shots on the net at a kid that is doing his best in a shit side?

Your constant slagging of is pretty tiresome.
