Dogs list spots are pretty tight, a future pick like your third would be perfect, or a pick upgrade from the 30s to the 40s or 30s to the 20s would do it. Doubt we would want a straight pick for Hrovat even if Hamling leaves as we'll only use three draft picks.

Hope he goes to the Roos, he'd be a great fit for your midfield (not necessarily making it quicker, but his smarts more than make up for it) and much better than watching him waste his career away at Carlton.

Was injured during the last few VFL finals so I feel he'll be even cheaper than if his pretty great VFL form had followed through into Footscray's final games.
sorted.
next years 3rd rounder for Hrovat
or
pick 32 for Hrovat and pick 40
 
Rockliff averaged 34 disposals, 1 goal a game and 8 tackles per game in in his last 12 games(10 losses/2 wins) at AFL level.

Is he that much of a d..k that we or any other club won't consider him?

What has he actually done?
Publicly called out young players in the media, known to be an unapproachable dickhead who is hated by everyone at the Brions and is a dressing room cancer.......and he's a shit footballer who goes sideways or backwards with 99% of his posessions which results in regular negative metres gained per match.

It'd be nice if we could bring in someone who knows how to kick the footy if we are losing Dal, Boomer and Wells.

In short, he's shit, overpriced and not suited for a team with young players.

Yes hes a total dick but is also commanding a decent wad which Brisbane are keen to unload onto somebody else.
 
So did we work out if we gave up a first rounder for Jed yet?

Ah week one of trade week, the "Nothing's happening, our club is silent in the media, we must be in crisis. Why did this player leave us? Why won't anyone come to North? Sigh" stage.
nekminnit, 2016 version of "Anderson cost us pick 15."

I will be upset if Hrovat or a similar type are coming in to take Clarke or Dumonts place in the side. If the incoming player is a star then fair enough.

Expect he'd take Boomer's role as a high half forward who can spend time in the middle if needed.

The sideways possessions are a result of the environment he plays in and in my opinion are fixable. To say "he's a sit footballer" is wrong.

I don't know anything about his off field behaviour or how he's viewed internally by his teammates or the club but it must be bad if a player of his ability can't find a home. I know his wage is an issue as well.

ps: i'm not saying we should or shouldn't take him, just interested why the lack of interest.

All those young players brissy lost a few years ago weren't all homesick.....

Even if he was a very good player, he'd be shit for our culture so it's a non starter imo.
