    There's probably nobody more deserving of a secure employment contract in the AFL.

      I hope they give Roarke 2 years and upgrade him to the main list

        May depend on how many players end up leaving, list spots are tight. Certainly deserves it though.

          A few clubs chasing Darcy Fort? Any takers?

            He's just a bit slow and limited but might provide some depth. It's not a bad suggestion but I hope we can do a lot better.

              Nup, we had the option when he was a Footscray player but he can't build a tank. Only really a forward/ruck

                No. Essentially failed a medical with us many years ago. I’d say zero chance.

                  This is a stupid Adam Cooney trade that would never happen but I would do this in an instant. Come on Goldy, don't you want to win a flag?

                    I'd sign that deal in a heartbeat.

                      From ESPN/Knightmare link

                      Western Bulldogs
                      List needs:

                      Sam Darcy

                      Established ruckman

                      Established key defender

                      Draft Picks: 17, 72, 90

                      Who should they target?

                      The top priority for the Dogs is securing father-son and son of Luke Darcy, Sam. Darcy is this year's top rated key position player, and possessing ruck height at 206cm, the Dogs will do their best to pick Darcy, avoid a pick deficit, and be positioned to draft other players.

                      With Stefan Martin managing just nine games including finals, the Dogs need to plan for their next ruckman, even if Martin is extended. Collingwood's Max Lynch will continue to be relegated to depth behind Brodie Grundy, and may be an optimal choice. With Max Lynch filling in for two games when Brodie Grundy was out with his neck scare, Lynch held his own and competed well, particularly against Max Gawn.

                      Former Brisbane key position player Sam Skinner is the premier key defender outside the AFL, and presents an ideal key defence solution and partner for Alex Keath. His play since switching into defence through the second half of 2021 for South Adelaide has been irresistible, headlined by a 10 contested mark, 11 intercept mark finals performance against Norwood.

                        Re: 2021 Trade Period Talk

                        I mentioned Skinner last year, simply because we liked him in his draft year (he was taken just before Bailey Williams).
                        Not sure if he's lost pace after multiple ACLs. He or Schlensog would have to be at least considered.

                              Your mute list must be as long as the Flemington straight!

                              If Adam doesn’t make up these outlandish trade scenarios there would be *!*!*!*! all else to talk about on trade radio.

                                Maybe they should talk about Essendon for a change
