Since we have confirmed Carlisle is staying wtf are we chasing this guy for now?

That can only mean the plan is to play Josh Battle forward next year.

Battle is not really tall enough for centre half forward and I’m not sure if his body can take the battering.

Interesting.

It will be interesting what they give up for them.

Interesting also that with Schache and Noughton, they'd bring in Bruce.


Bruce is an interesting one for mine.

He's actually a pretty good genuine goal kicking forward. However Cho tried to make into a 'crash the pack and bring it to the front' guy. I don't think he ever much good at this and it added f*** all value to our team for him to play that role.

He's also an ordinary ruckman.

So if the Bulldogs want him for that type of role, I think they're going to make a big mistake (considering what they'd have to give up for him). However if they want him as a genuine forward it's a good move - but Noughton, Dale, Schache and him can't all play together.

If Keath goes there too - it means Noughton is staying forward and Bruce won't be used back. Scache's papers would surely be stamped if they get Bruce and Keath - plus whomever else they need to offload to us to get the Bruce trade done.

So it's interesting times at the Dogs.

Did that matter for Roo, or GTrain?

No, as their value in their prime role was what mattered.

Castrating our forward line to be better at the part-time second ruck role makes no sense to me.

Castrating? That would suggest that it's currently fertile.

But we might not kick it to him if he’s wearing a Saints jumper.
:lol:


Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency

Life does not work like that
Constable might be alright. I wouldn't provide too much for him but hes looking for a chance to get into an AFL side. Handy young player..

This rumour has gone quite?!

Sounds like Bulldogs leading the race. Shame as our backline would be much stronger with another strong intercept defender. He tore us up during the year.

Still a chance. Very early days yet. The fact he did a medical means something.

He’s just finished his first year in the system. He’s done well to even get a game at all - he played 7 - with a midfield of Selwood, Ablett, Dangerfield, Kelly et al.....well worth a punt if he’s part of a trade involving Stuv.

I hope we are getting him cheap, don't think we need him but surely is seen as a backup player, we need midfielders. If Robbo comes up Keath won't get a game.

Another one coming to us

Hill, Jones, Ryder, Keath, Crouch

Just like to know how we can do any of the deals to make them happen

Hill for pick 5
Ryder for a late pick

Can’t see how the rest get done

You keep banging on about Crouch.

I am yet to read anything where he is likely to join us.

Saints will look at many. Only some will join us.

If we offer him a 5 year deal and 750k/year he might be interested, but only if he can't screw the crows for a similar deal and that is his want

Yep for treloar or Degoey, mad if we let Carlisle go, why the truck would you give away all of your spine/structural players which is in very good shape at present. We just need mids and we have a finals ready list.

Carlisle is going nowhere. For all of Jake's faults - he's widely and largely been credited with being the most influential person in getting Ryder to choose us over the injectors.

And this morning it's being reported that Crouch is off to the GCS
