Talia

[B.M]

Why aren’t we targeting him?

Are we gun shy in recruiting older players?!

He would automatically make us a better team!!!

Don’t worry about outside perceptions, and improve the list.

He is a free shot as a DFA

Allows Wilkie and Highmore to play 3rd and 4th

[cwrcyn]

Chronic injury????

Yep I reckon this is a obvious recruit.

[B.M]

Chronic??

What was the injury? Almost every player gets injured

From 18-28 he was extremely durable, due for an injury or two.

[cwrcyn]

It was a question, not a statement.

Hannabery debacle creates ongoing issues and fears!
He and Hill in their own separate ways will impact older high end recruiting decisions for a very long time.
Bargain basement (younger) purchases for the most part have been great i.e Membrey, Steele, Higgins and hopefully we stick with similar choices.

[B.M]

As I said

Gun shy!

With EVERY trade/dp there is a risk of injury.

Some risks you take, some you don’t

Hannebery on 800k for sliding a second rounder to a third rounder
I would have taken, and it would have been a mistake

Talia as a free agent on less than 300 for 2 years with a trigger I would jump at!

We NEED a key defender IMO

[B.M]

Unless we are going to play Battle as a key back on the 2nd and Howard will take the number 1 forward?

[wally]

I would have thought O’Brien from Haw would have been worth consideration also free agents mean no trades

[The_Dud]

I think as a club we need to stop padding cooked players retirement funds

[maverick]

Get him
No brainer

[Banger9798]

Maybe they are considering Joyce as the 2nd KPD?

Talia would give us a crack at a flag if he has a good couple of years left on him

[whiskers3614]

If Talia's body is right why are Adelaide not fighting harder to keep him?
Do not need any more Hanneberies!

[skeptic]

If that’s true about Joyce then call the season off now… kid can’t spoil to save himself. Kind of an essentially quality for a backman

[SinCitySainter]

Hasn't Talia been basically crocked for the last two years?

[Bruce G McAbee]

He doesn't have chronic injuries like Hannebery.
He has recovered from surgery and is ready to go.
Adelaide is in a rebuild mode so some experienced players are going to be let go to make room for young players.
He's a bargain and worth putting feelers out for and will add to our defence.

His wife has a very good and high paying job in Adelaide.

In all probability he won't be going to another footy club and will retire.

Anyone hear his partner Jen being interviewed on 5NQR?

I you recruit a free agent, doesn't that cancel out any compo you might get for losing a free agent?

[shmic_s]

Yes it does.
But that's not an issue for us this year, we're not getting anything for Dunstan.

I will also add that aside from losing a compo pick - there are no penalties for picking up a FA
