      Is he what we need though? He seems to be the type we have a number of.

        We do have other pressing needs (KPF, KPD, pace/skill) but I like what he offers from a physical perspective. Strong, aggressive, leads hard, nice hands, good kick.

        Jones is gone, Grant is terrible, Dickson is injury prone (and 28ish?), Gia has retired. Our medium forwards are really only Crameri and Stringer now, with the latter earmarked for more time in the midfield.

        It does depend what it'd take to get Membrey though. I would think he'll have a few suitors, which may bump up his value.

          Could he play as a hit up leading forward? I know a few have said that despite our many medium forwards we don't really have one that just consistently presents as a leading option. In that sense he could be different to the other two, and hopefully cause a few more selection headaches.

            Who knows if Grant makes it, I know how you feel, but Membrey coukd allow us to move Grant to a back flank. I'd like to see him given a run there pre-season to see if he could do the job there.

                    None of them are medium forwards.

                      That's a pretty good assessment. I guess it'll depend on what it will cost us, if a relative bidding war arises, then I think we should focus on other needs first.

                        He monstered a few at under 18 level .
                        Owns a terrible tatt of a palm tree on his upper arm.
                        Would have thought if Sydney rated him, then they'd retire Goodes.

                          How many do you want over 190?

                                All under 6 foot. Hrovat and Dalhaus are both under 180cm. They are the definition of small.
