Re: Jaxons come on down
Do you think we might be interested in Cam O'Shea from Port Adelaide? 25 years old, tall defender, a Victorian, is uncontracted. Alan Richardson is a fan and tried to recruit him either last year or the year before (can't remember). He wouldn't cost much. Is he any good?

Re: Jaxons come on down
Just in case anyone missed it our 3rd and 4th round draft picks 46 and 64 just slipped one place with Brisbane being given a priority pick immediately at the end of round one.
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-10-06/a ... draft-pick
We still have picks 10, 47, 65.
We used our 2nd round pick on Freeman so that slips from pick 28 to 29.
This will all be fluid given free ageancy compensation picks, father-son and academy queue jumping picks.

Re: Jaxons come on down
Lions have pick 2 on the table for 2 top 10s or a player with a top 10 pick.
Armo, Eli plus pick 10? For 2 and perhaps another pick in the 20s?
If Armo isn't on the table now is such a great time to trade for Rocky. Pick 10, Eli for Rocky and pick 23ish. Rockliff is perhaps the most underrated bloke in the AFL, yes he is a typical country flog but he couldn't be more ripe for the picking if you ask me.

Please stay away from Rockliff, off field issues aside - he plays one way football , yes gets heaps of it but so does his opponent.

I'm sorry but you obviously have never watched him play closely. He has averaged 7,8 and 9 tackles a game in the last 3 seasons. He is a tackling machine and I would be happy to get him. If his opponent gets lots of it it's because he is playing against a poorly drilled Brisbane not because Rockliff is slack.Jack Steven would love to have him and would go to another level playing with Rocky. He's great one on one and in close. Pick 10 is hit and miss Rocky would be a hit and I think we could even get some change back. I hope we get him but not for above market dollars as we need to add another layer (Fyffe big dollars) next season.

Re: Jaxons come on down
Hear what you're saying about his quality as a player, but another poster ruled him out on the "no dickheads policy" and I tend to agree. Also will be 27 when next season starts. Is that too old for our list strategy?Goose is king wrote:older saint wrote:Please stay away from Rockliff, off field issues aside - he plays one way football , yes gets heaps of it but so does his opponent.

Probably all hypothetical anyway as none of our more ITK posters have even hinted at him being a target.

No dickheads policy. Toms latest muck-up doesnt seem too serious to me. He said aa mate had been with an ugly girl, so what. There are ugly people out there. I have mirrors.

It appears he is out of contract. Must be a RFA by now. He could walk for nothing.

Was hold that it was more a case of his manager contacting St Kilda each year than Richo wanting him.

Tom -next day- confirmed he (Tom) had done so.
Housemate fired back in disbelief;
Tom clarified by implying she wasn't a stunner, saying "she was at least a 3 out of 10"
e.g. he didn't have high standards.
Tom was apologetic afterwards.
