    I've jumped off the Boumann bandwagon somewhat, but he will still be on the list next year and has the athletic capabilities to be a like-for-like replacement for Shaggy if required.

    If he can harden up and embrace body contact, he'll make it.

    Similar to Everitt, I think he lacks confidence which probably comes from not having the full backing of the coaching staff (his own fault due to past misdemeanors). If he gets a good pre-season behind him, bulks up some more and has a solid run in the NAB Cup (and keeps his nose clean), I think we could see much improved player next year.
    The thing that annoys me about him is he's happy to bump, verbal, and pretty much play the tough guy when the ball's not in the area, yet if he's camped under it or has to go back with the flight he's shows no interest in doing so.

      Both are terrible decision makers with the ball in hand, though. Rance has really struggled to make an impression at AFL level for a number of reasons. Not big enough to play on KP's, bad skills/decision making and he often is caught out on the lead. He should probably get an opportunity at another club but I don't think we need his type.

      Nahas is worth looking at, might be better in a good side but he's erratic with the ball in hand and does spray it quite a bit.
      Rance is an interesting one - we were looking at him closely I believe, and he was a Bulldogs fan as a kid?

      As much as we need a small forward, I'm not sure what Richmond would want for Nahas. I'd almost be prepared to gamble on Hooper and whoever we pick up in the draft.

        Spangher-Cannot get a regular game at the wooden spoooners-Pass.
        Rance-May be hard at it but has no football skills to speak of and cannot get a regular game with the second worst side in it-Pass.
        Nahas-Would certainly offer some leg speed but once again cannot get a regular game with the second worst side in it-Consider.

          I might be a numpty, but I'd definitely consider Nahas. He's exactly what we don't have.
          Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

            My knock on Nahas is that he could make the weight for a handicap at Flemington. He is so tiny, and has zero core strength. And being in his early 20's already he wouldn't be expected to pile the weight on any time soon. I admire his speed and defensive-mindeness, but if he continually gets ragdolled off the ball and when tackling, he is not much use. Even Jarrad Grant struggles to stick the tackles and he is 15-20 kgs heavier than Nahas.

              I agree with this^^^^ Pass on Nahas

                Not getting a game at a poor club doesn't mean your a bad player just like being on the fringe of the best club doesn't make you a good player.

                Rodan and Schultz came from the Tigers too and have improved in a different environment.

                  The clear stand our ruckman in the SANFL this year is Jon Giles. Was de-listed from teh Power at the end of last year, moved SANFL clubs from Centrals to Sturt, and is dominating. Chance to win the Magarey.

                    Has only played 8 games this year, has some toe & kicks the ball beautifully. I think he would be a good get.
                    According to the australian Gavin Urquhart will be up for trade, and yes he is very quick. Why can't he get a regular gig with North?
                    More of an In Bruges guy?

                      Although he has good qualities, he just doesn't put it together on the field. Not the smartest player going around.

                      Shaun Grigg, anyone? I rate him and he's just requested a trade from Carlton. Tall, rangey type who is quick enough with a useful left boot. Only 22 - so his best footy is still to come. Lot of Carlton supporters are angry/disappointed.

                      I'd put him pretty high on our list of wants.

                          Depends who we are able to move on. I don't think we have a spot for him.

                            Rance wouldn't be cheap especially with Richmond knowing we dudded them with the next draft pick.

                              I'd assume its his work ethic or attitude. i would like to get this kid, he has all the qualities to be a good player and he wouldn't take much to get him. Maybe a change of club is what he needs to kick start his career.

                              Please go get him dogs, i want to see that booming kick in the red, white and blue next year.

                                Christian Howard also has a booming kick, would you prefer us to try and develop him or trade in Urquhart?
