Bombers Shopping 2012/2013

[MiloStedman]

Who should the mighty Bombers be looking at bringing in for next year? Is there anyone confirmed that we've got our eye on? I know Travis Boak's name was thrown around a bit, but expect to see him in a Cats jersey next year. I'm personally thinking another key forward, which could allow Hurley to go back more often, or even stay there. What do you think?

 

[Dwight Schrute]

Midfielder, backmen, forward, ruck in that order.

 

[Jesse Custer]

These threads are all well and good if the club will actually do some trades. Decent ones that is.

 

[eth-dog]

Inside mid (with decent skills), HBF, more mids, back-up ruck, key defender, small forward, key forward. In that order

This didn't need a new thread. You are not a special snowflake.

 

[ZAAHAARAKIS!!!!!]

in regards to Boak, he's very close to signing with port according to various sources, But they want the deal done by the night of their BNF (dunno when that is), so if it drags out beyond that, we could/should be right in there.

I'd love to have him, but it's pretty much Between Geelong and Port isn't it?

If it remains all about purely the type of acquisition and revolves around the poll, then it can run its race.

If it just turns into more of the standard drafts/trading chat, we'll merge.

 

[Synth]

Hope the club has a look at Shane Valenti.

Haven't found any similar ones mate

 

[ZAAHAARAKIS!!!!!]

anyone who doesn't vote mid deserves to be tied down and slapped by every single bf member out there

Did last year. Lee was taken instead

 

[resurrector]

should look at the likes of wellingham, maloney, boak, caddy

chances that we'll manufacture such a trade..zip to none.

I know, along with Sydney and his missed both.

Looks every chance to win another Liston, not sure how he would't be good enough to at least be a depth player for our midfield.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

I can't wait for the year that we go bang and bring in one big name and a couple of other best 22 players.

Then for the rage in the following 5+ years where we do 3/5 of **** all.

efa. We won't do anything for at least 15 years after

whawhawhaaaaa?

Never got the love. Short & can't kick. Dreamteam specialist.

 

[Howard Moon]

would putt be rookied as part of our back up ruckman plan?

 

[daffo]

We need 2 outside mids and a back up ruck.

have seen a bit of putt and im not convinced he has enough mongrel in him to make it against the big blokes. I think looking at young state league ruckmen who can compete like their life depends on it is a good option though. A real pity we didn't pick up Tom Campbell last year, he would have been ideal for that role.

From Bendigo, surely Duscher has served his apprenticeship and must be rookied. I also like Shinners and Freezer as back line support.

More on point to the thread, you would think drafting JD will mean we'd be looking at midfield options thereafter. Our forward line will be heavily stocked with Gumby/JD/Ryder/Hurley/Crameri/.

Drafting a pure mid with solid foot skills, who is not a flanker that we'll be converting into a mid, should be a high priority IMO.

Bellchambers, Hille, Ryder in there for good measure as well. Don't think we need any backup rucks mate

This is exactly why we need back up rucks. We only have 3 on the list- One with a ruptured ankle ligament, meaning an interrupted pre-season, another that looks like he's finished and one supremely talented one. A well balanced list has 4-5 ruckmen on it

 

[Fin ice Smuggler]

Would love Caddy and maloney, would be even happy if we upgraded to another first round pick, but history says i'll be dissapointed once more...

Doubt it.

There is a reason that we are know as the worst club to deal with during trade week... And the reason is...because it's true
