demons would consider bate and sylvia as core. dees will push for several flags in the next 5 years.skeptic wrote:I don't know much about him but what about is it Matthew Bate from Melbourne.
Touched us up at Carrara last year (lone hand in a losing side), looked like a decent mid sized forward... out of the Demons team atm
Colin Sylvia is not exactly a fringe player but isn't exactly untouchable either
Salopek name has already been mentioned this week
What Fringe player could we be interested in

Not sure whether he is a fringe player, but Salopek yes. Others Rohan Bail, Simon Hogan, Travis Tuck. Troy Selwood and Tom Collier

Yep. I rate him highly as a player. As a forward who is very difficult to match up on, or even a wingman.Batnoe wrote:i wouldnt mind Mitch Morton either...
I have been bewildered that he hasnt been a regular starter under Hardwick.
Abit of Ross discipline and the guy could be an absolute star. I see many similarities between him and Stevie J.

I'd have a look at him. He's a loose, lazy dud so would require some taming but he may respond better to RL than that chrome dome big head Rocket. Never know.bergholt wrote:will minson, anyone?
Personally, I'd be trying to usurp GC for Harbrow. Quick skilful runner.

I have been wondering what has happened to Mortons career. He was probably slightly in front of Jack Riewoldt last year now looks like he cant get out of coburg.
He would be a really good grab.The pies should have the eyes picked out of their list next year, too many decent fringe players not to be.

I've heard Mitch is very lazy and already has been told that there isnt a spot for him on the list next year.gringo wrote:I have been wondering what has happened to Mortons career. He was probably slightly in front of Jack Riewoldt last year now looks like he cant get out of coburg.

i stilll reckon - as in 2009 - our priority should be some pace. im thinking travis varcoe and sharrod wellingham types.

Fringe fast players are hard to come by.MCG-Unit wrote:Don't know whether Varcoe and Wellingham are considered fringe players anymore
Off the top of my head i can think of Tambling, Jordan McMahon, maybe one of the Jettas.
Ideally you want to raid one of the very quick teams who have pace coming from everywhere. Essendon, and Carlton have some pacey players too.
But we would have to be prepared to became a suitable offer.
If you offer crap, then that's what you'll receive in return.

Yep you have to be prepared to deal fairly - you can't offer trash picks for good players

I'd be enquiring about Aaron Edwards from the Kangas.
In and out of the side this year, a couple of injuries, but as a third forward who has a big of an X factor about him, he'd be a good pickup.
Might not pass the "No D*ckheads" test, but, at least according to this thread, RL can straighten out anyone....
