    Recycled players

    Any recycled players that take your fancy in either of the upcoming drafts?

    Jacobs - too many of his type already?

    A speculative put on Toy? Hine? Gillies?

    A former Bomber? Sam Lonergan? Ricky Dyson? Brent Prismall

    Is there anything out there worth our while?

    Re: Recycled players

    I quite like Jacobs but he won't be a star player. More than capable of coming in and doing a consistent job for us and he is the right age. The problem is we probably won't select him at pick 22.

    I don't have a lot of interest in Toy, Hine or Gillies (especially with Austin on the rookie list)

    Prismall obviously holds some interest for our coach but I don't think he is what we need but you can probably mark him down as a certainty

    Bate would be a decent option in my opinion as a pre-season draft pick. In most other years someone like Seaby would have some interested teams.

      I always had a bit of time for Cheynee Stiller but is he training with another side?
      Ricky Pettard still has a bit ot offer.

        Tom Gillies has signed with Melbourne as a delisted free agent.
        Chanee Stiller has retired from AFL, after deciding not to relocate to Melbourne.
        More of an In Bruges guy?

            I'd be disappointed if we used 22 on Jacobs - I think we have to select the best kid their, otherwise we could have traded with Port earlier and got a pick back.

            I think there are many that would be dismayed if we picked Prismall, however fine a character he is, we just dont need midfielders who dont have an elite edge

            What position would or could he fill with us Stevo? Is he quick enough? Does he use it well?

              He could be our permanent Movember representative.

                If we're keen on Membrey, Bate would be the budget option. Similar size and role as a physical HF.

                  If he is around for pick 89, then maybe.

                    If we are interested in BATE ffs, why couldn't we just keep Moles and dye his hair red, just to save ourselves the trouble?

                      Except that Bate isn't physical.

                      Amazed if Bate gets another shot at AFL level. He's absolutely terrible; there's nothing in his game that stands up at AFL level that would make me even remotely consider him.

                      He's a VFL/Suburban level footballer.

                        Moles can't play at AFL Level.

                            From the outside looking in he doesn't appear the type of character our coach would like.
