Sounds like he could be on the way out from WC.

If so, should we take him for 2 years?

31 years old.

Hill on 1 wing and Jetta on the other.

Might see if Boomer Harvey would like to come also!

No isn’t his kicking super suspect ??

[sks023]

In the right demographic to join Geelong. Him and Higgins will fit right in to there retirement village

No, his kicking is elite. Commitment or lack thereof is the issue.

There is so much trouble with aged care homes do we really need the grief

No. Same reasons no to Higgins.
We do not want to fall into the North/Dopers trap of thinking we're better than we are.
While it's been a fantastic season its also been a shortened season. Who's to say if we played a normal 22 games we would have finished strong or even made finals? We may have or we may have fallen off a cliff. Who knows.

We still need to be in development mode for the next year or two. Not chasing 30 year olds to try to snatch a flag. Get our core right and consistent for a year or two and then look at those types of players when we know we are defintley in the window.
Melbourne thought they were Top 4 material a few years back and look at the rabble now. We want sustained success, not flash in the pan players who will be only good for a year or two.

Good, sensible post.

[johnearljames]

Too old. No need.

If you are a flag favourite then yes but we are not there.

[SaintPav]

Geelong will take him for sure.

[IluvHarvey]

Surely this post is taking the P!$$

100% agree

Our list as promising as it is, does have some concerns moving forward that we need to look at sooner rather than later.

It’s well documented that we need a bit more more class in the middle.

Beyond that however, this season has demonstrated just how important the 2 rucks format is for us. Marshall is not a great solo ruck all game and the w/e game (As did three years of complaining about it) demonstrated that throwing in a subpar forward ruck like Bruce is a recipe for failure.

Ryder has been a revelation but he’s 32 and there’s not an obvious replacement in sight

Likewise is also the defence...
We looked really vulnerable whilst Carlisle was out and neither Austin or Clav are proven.

Next year could see us with some major problems in terms of structure if a select few players go down.

We certainly need to keep turning the list over and building depth

"SAINTS’ TRADE RAID NOT OVER YET

St Kilda will be aggressive in the trade and free agency windows again this off-season, as it tries to emulate Hawthorn’s template through its successful recent era.

The Saints brought a swag of ready-made players into the club at the end of last year, which has helped elevate the club into its first finals series in nine years.

St Kilda chief operating officer Simon Lethlean said the club would do all in its power to strengthen the group going forward, with the club still having considerable room in the salary cap to be active.

“We need to keep getting better, we are not there yet … we will be attacking all options available through free agency, trade and the draft,” Lethlean said on SEN.

“You remember the Hawks when they kept winning flags. They kept adding good players every year. You have just got to keep doing it.”

Why? Can't find one good reason.
