@JWeinbachNBA So 6x 1st rnd picks + 4 players who were also 1st rnd and proven at the level for a guy who’s nearly 32, injury prone, only a year remaining on his contract and on a super max?
@FootyTragic2711@Crickettrag1965 Yeah I would definitely consider him if you could get him, especially if butts leaves. Borlase has improved a lot, very reliable defender, and better with the ball than butts. Wish we could get the Muz pre knee injury back.
@FootyTragic2711@Crickettrag1965 ….many more options exiting defence with run and good kicking (obviously with Wayne too!), better intercepting options and still good defence. Would take us from one of the worst teams exiting defence to one of the best imo.
@FootyTragic2711@Crickettrag1965 On a different topic think our defence can actually transform in the balance of season. Get Keane up to speed, HHK in and then replace laird with a fit Isaac cumming. Look, will probably not happen but that mix, with max, Woz and Borlase or Butts is a perfect balance imo. So….
@FootyTragic2711@Crickettrag1965 I think we have enough fwds on the list surely. Have to think Tex plays again, Filthy returns to form, get fog to full fitness then see the progress of the younger guys.
@Crickettrag1965@FootyTragic2711 We should never have given him a long contract. He’s the type who plays well when his contracts up for renewal. We have draft and traded about 5 fwds in the last yr or two, not sure any are the answer mind you, but I’m not sure we can afford what it would cost if we get Zak.
@bazz_27@chrismills182@AdelaideYid Thought it was the other way. Dont match and the compensation u receive is cancelled by the value of the player u take. I think u can still match and trade? If it’s the kangas, maybe u take Goad. Regardless if we get Zak don’t think it matters if we don’t get much for butts.
@tbose_vski How abt the 50m for protected area goal against cook then Ollie Dempsey full shove in the back mark and goal at a critical time in the game? The umps didnt decide that game, the cats poor finishing probably did.
@chrismills182 Ha until the next time we lose, you’re certainly consistent. I know we’re always due a good win when the “sack the coach” narrative reaches maximum velocity. We are 7-5 having had a mass of inj and fitness issues.
@Crickettrag1965@GGhostwhowalks …. Bounce now the final piece in the puzzle imo. Last night demonstrated it clearly. Holmes, Smith, Danger they take and close space so quickly, which is vital with new rules. Zak Bailey, Izak, hopefully Sid Draper combined with some grunt. Get Bailey and 27-29 our window!
@Crickettrag1965@GGhostwhowalks I think that was probably just a recognition of the gaps in the list. Hinge I don’t think is the answer HHK certainly could be on a ltd sample, Keane returning to full fitness and form will also make a big difference. The speed and agility around the ball especially at centre….
@Crickettrag1965 Brilliant debut exactly the player we need, let’s get the ball in his and Wayne’s hands, much less of Rory. Win against the cats without Izak or filthy, take that every day of the wk. Good signs from Dan and max and wouldn’t it be a different ball game with Izak and Zak in there.
@bennell_ethan@Crickettrag1965@Scobey__ Yes but they bank for this exact scenario, to be able to bring in difference makers like Zak Bailey. I wouldn’t spend $1.7m on TDK but $1.3-1.4m on Bailey every day of the wk.
@FootyTragic2711 He’s one of their 1st picked mids currently they don’t have a lot of guys they be paying, he’s getting offered $900k+ imo. If we’re getting Bailey I don’t think it’s necessary, he’s a grunt guy, and think we have them already,
@FootyTragic2711 Sparrow u are going to have to over pay in FA and not convinced he’s a materially better player than berry or peatling. Ballard presume you’d have to give up something, assume he’d have others interested, but probably worth it if butts leaves.
