Re: No Rory!
Wanted him but didn't need him. Head to the draft and grab Rory as a FA in 2018. He can come home for a flag.

Re: No Rory!
Grab a free agent when we are closer to contending and if the player/price is right. Til then develop what we've invested in at the draft

Re: No Rory!
What do people think of Craig Bird from Sydney?
Can't get a game At the moment purely because of Midfield Depth.
Constantly killing it in their 2nd's.
Keep in m,ind I have heard nothing about him wanting to leave or contracts etc. Just throwing it out there.

Re: No Rory!
Not a crazy possibility but will be 27 at the start of next season. I don't think we should be recruiting anyone unless they are 25 or younger at the start of 2016 season.IluvHarvey wrote:What do people think of Craig Bird from Sydney?

Cant see the point at all. To old. Keep drafting young kids and get a FA at the end of 2016 if we can. Trade our first pick only if we can get someone no older than 23 and has huge potential.

As I said there was no research done just an idea.

Re: No Rory!
Is Hannebury FA end of this year or next? If next then a number one target.

Maybe we should have a crack at Danger!
He was not a FA anyway...so would have had to have given upa good pick ir player to get = no net gain.
Plus will be 26 next year..so maybe just a smidgeon too old
IMO in terms of players from other clubs we need FA's or players undevalued by their present clubs like Bruce. That is how we will improve the average value of our list.
In several years time when you are peaking, that is when you might consider trading in a missing link player at full market value (if you cannot snag the right fA).

Re: No Rory!
25yo Rory Sloane on 1mill x 5yrs
Vs
18yo Rhys Mathieson or Darcy Parish or Darcy Tucker on minimum wage
Cos Sloane would've cost our 1st draft pick

Re: No Rory!
Dangerfield is the best FA to go after now.

Love the way he goes about it but he wouldn't be a priority considering we have McCartin, Bruce and Membrey.SainterK wrote:I want Tom Lynch from the suns, out of contract next year.
