Left field pickups in upcpming trade period

[saint6709]

Jack Watts....just got dropped to 2's.

Not sure if this is a joke - I know he doesn't have too many fans on this board - I think he's a very good player - might have something to work on between the ears, but I think he has talent - I was keen on us getting him a year or 2 ago when he was out of favour - if we could get him reasonably cheap and he committed to giving it a serious crack as a back man - I would be keen to get him as carlisles mate as our other kpd - brown will ease out and Goddard will have to earn his spot

Don't overlook Jason 'Heater' Heatley...Gavin Mitchell...Cain Ackland...Tony Delaney...Glenn Nugent.

Great 1 year pickups.

I think Watts isn't bad. Maybe he needs a new club and he can play.

He is nearly as old as Brown and not as good.

He's actually a big unit and versatile. Only 26.

Would take over the Gilbert Mr. Fix-it-role nicely

[saintbob]

Kelly,Lever and best available quick outside mid

[SaintPav]

We don't need Lever as we have Brandon White who is going to be much better.

We also have Paddy, Hugh and Freeman.

We just need Kelly.

[thejiggingsaint]

Travis Cloke, ?

[spert]

Trouble is with Paddy, Hugh and Feeeman, they haven't really shown anything. Paddy can take a good grab and has good skills, is injury prone, and hasn't stamped himself at all on any senior game, nor has Hugh and who knows with Freeman. I would like those three to succeed, but I am not holding my breath. We really need to look at guys who can quickly slot into senior footy.

I always hoped rockcliffe would be our left field trade pick up - but hes gone now

[thejiggingsaint]

Brett Voss?

Rockcliff gone?

Has there been a confirmed announcement? Last I read Lions were confident he was staying...but that Crows were still in the chase.

[thejiggingsaint]

GT?

[SaintPav]

Jason Akermanis.

Lets just control what's in our sphere of flatulence.

Prickly people v goo people

Particles v waves

To hell with the rest!!!

Yee haw!!

[WellardSaint]

GT?

Graham Teasdale as ruck coach- brilliant!

Michael "ROXRUX" Rix? Matthew "Doc" Clarke? Craig Callaghan?

Ok perhaps I should have said it's going to take a bit of money over @600k and 3yr plus contract to get him to move
That would put him 30yr old - question marks over his shoulder although he has held together this year ok
Always thought he was coming home to Vic or staying with lions

I didn't want to start a new thread, as I hate breaking forum rules

Just reading about Watts in the media,
we could do worse than offering him a lifeline.
There's no real chance of Paddy being a regular senior player, with all his issues.
While Battle and Marshall are developing, having Watts gives depth and variety- and we are light on for a decent forward,
with Baroose being the comedic bumbler like Mr Bean.
I can see Watts playing lots of senior games up forward, giving Baroose a chance to drop back to Zebs to work on stuff
Then when Battle gets regular games, Either Watts or Baroose goes back to Zebs

[parkeysainter]

I would take Watts.

What about Alir Alir from the Swans? CHB?

[Crossy66]

Just need to target elite mids, no GOP's needed

[GregPackhamsHeadband]

I would take Watts.

I agree agree.

I like it.

Brandon Matera would be a massive upgrade on Lonie, Minch & co

[Animal Enclosure]

I've stated in another thread I want Atley from North Melbourne. He has pace to burn and is a great user by foot. I'm sure he would be the most experienced player from his draft in a games played sence.

Atley is possibly the worst 'user by foot' in the whole competition.

Only recruit if we want a presence in the GF Day Sprint.
