Take a close look at how many times he gets his fist in and spoils !!! He has been a huge reason behind our push up the ladder ....

Let’s do it!!!

There is a little more to the Bruce argument. Bruce is all about Bruce was the internal word. He helped clear cap space (B King in the pipe) and let’s remember Bruce did struggle the very best backs. I’d still rather have him .. but there are a few reasons within.

Jones - wisdom teeth out
Hannebery- not sure ?

He trained strongly on Saturday morning at Sandy. Forward line structure was King, Membrey, Marshall

Issue may have been back end of training .. perhaps something flared up post...

You would think the interest is based on his 77% / 78% disposal efficiency last two years.

Is this rumour or reported?

Just mentioned on SEN that he is coming to Melbourne to do medical with both StKilda and Melbourne.

Worth a crack as a rookie ?!

All said. We. We had to have a crack and make some changes. The club has done that. Bruce was a good player but did struggle against the best opposition and did here some negatives. He was on good coin too. Howard is 4 years younger and could be better long term. It will be painful to watch Jack Ste...

23yr old (24 in June)...very quick, good kick for goal, Premiership Player...for pick 56! He did kick 31 goals in 2017 as a small forward. Good get

Done for 56 Butler

Loved the Cornes reaction to Howard pick up. He was filthy and said Port Adelaide botched up. Given up a potential All Australian. Hope it works out.

What are we hearing re Bruce deal ? Not a lot in media.

Would like to keep ....dangerous forward line with him, King, Membrey and perhaps Battle.

This might make Acres pull his finger out, knowing there was little interest in him. He needs to go to the Robert Harvey school of running and get his body in better shape. Potential but needs to work harder.

If we give up 10 and future to Freo, surely they send back pick 22. The deal seems a little heavy based on age at 26? There needs to be a sweetener.

You would think now that Ben King has re-signed at GC that we now got to sign up Bruce for 1-3 years extra ?

With McCartin in limbo it leaves Max King, Membrey with Marshall / Ryder.

Or do we bite bullet for Howard ? Don’t know enough about this bloke.

I reckon we will go 12,18 to Freo in exchange for Freo pick 27 which goes to Sydney for Jones.

Play hard Saints. Don’t accept pick 37. Pick 24 is the deal.

Worthy late pick. You also get access to Richmond IP. Our forward pressure is not great. The 1%’s and holding a position within a system is what this guy would bring. We have small forwards in Long and Lonie but how good they are in holding ball in is questionable?? Whereas this bloke has proven tha...

You would hope

Pick 6 = Hill, Pick 26
Pick 26 = Zac Jones
Ryder = Pick 71

Well said Bigred

Bruce kicks 36 and 5th most contested marks at CHF aid worth pick 31 according to press, yet Papley who kicks 37 goals in he SCG is worth pick 8.

It’s Bruce and a player for mine. Lin Jong or maybe Toby McClean.

Anyone heard any rumours? You would think the club needs to come out with a statement at some stage soon. I know he has a 2020 contract, however if unable to play is there a negotiation to put this to bed.

Barrett is a tool. Papley kicks 37 goals as a small forward as is worth Pick 8, Bruce kicks 36 at CHF a much harder position to play and is worth Pick 31. Spare me Hill can’t be straight out 5 without something coming back. He is what 26-27 years old? Pick 5 you get Brayshaw or Cerra as youth on side.

With Bruce on way out ..I think the best outcome is: * Bruce to Bulldogs for pick 14, maybe a 3rd rounder or player * Pick 14 to Fremantle for Hill * Pick 5 to Gold Coast for Ben King Bruce going leaves a significant gap, but if we bring in Ben King earlier it’s win:win and our forward line albeit y...

Heard the same. Josh is all about Josh the word I’ve heard.....
