[BEaston]

Wood, Libba and Adams is not 8 or 9 of your best 22. lol facts!!!

Keeping my fingers crossed you name Boyd.

Don't show off your own ignorance. Of course Boyd is best 22. Replaces Roughead comfortably.

Libba
Boyd
Dahl
Adams
Wood
Picken
Suckling
Williams

Dale is borderline now with Richards coming in.

I get there are petty squables and such but where does a Kangas supporter get off criticising the performance of the Dogs when they won a flag 2 years ago?

The big question in this thread. It’s not about Dahlhaus lol.

 

[Masqualero]

The big question in this thread. It’s not about Dahlhaus lol.

Just thought I'd point out the irony.

I'd hope that we have a chat with Dahl at the end of the year, would be good for our team.

Solid player.

 

[The Bandwagon]

Parfit, Ablett (would be better to push forward now, Menzel, Fogarty, Narkle. Wound't have thought small forward is their biggest need.

None of those players are small forwards.

 

[BRWB]

None of those players are small forwards.

Neither is Dahlhaus

 

[The Bandwagon]

Neither is Dahlhaus

I'm not sure I ever said he was.

 

[Juice0103]

Blues pls

 

[foxdog50]

Any news on him been linked to any club? Be very surprised if he didn't stay at the Dogs.

Not really, just more of the same - Dogs offered contract, he hasn't signed.

 

[Procrastinator35]

Will be a Hawk.

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

Will be a Hawk.

Don’t hawks generally go after guys that are good kicks? If that’s the case, he won’t be a hawk.

With Cyril retiring & Puopolo turning 31 at the end of this year, Dahlhaus will be taking their place in the position he performs best at.....As a pressure forward.

 

[The Bandwagon]

Will be a Hawk.

No he won't

 

[Procrastinator35]

No he won't

Oh, are we getting Menzel instead then?

 

[SterlingArcher]

Do not want him at all. Will go even.further backwards at Carlton. Needs a team that has strong contested mids to support him so he doesn't go crashing and banging against bigger bodies. Can't kick either and if you've watched our forward entries this year it's the last thing we need is another poor kicker

I'm not sure who you're getting but it isn't Dahlhaus

 

[Procrastinator35]

Sounds like he's all yours then.....Originally from Geelong wasn't he?

 

[The Bandwagon]

Yes, from Leopold.

 

[Rad Roo]

looks to be a geelong type get, players who are half decent but nothing special, geelong is has niched itself into a B grade FA type team due to their recent shortcuts as they want to FA their way instead of drafting.

 

[bitadash]

Ill spare everyone from the 'reliable source of so and so'... but have heard he's heading home to Geelong, is second hand info, make of it what you will.

i think he suits us at north

we need his pace and tackling pressure

 

[cecil]

He has really fallen behind the pecking order in our midfield rotation, and it could be even worse for him next year. He will be behind: Bont, Macrae, Libba, Maclean, Wallis and Dunkley at a minimum, then possibly Bailey Williams if he stays in the midfield. We will also have Rhylee West and probably a high pick midfielder. While some think he can play forward, he's just not that great there.

We've apparently offered him a deal, and I could see it being around 400k/2 years, but Geelong have apparently offered 600k and I can't see us matching it while his standing in the team is dropping.

Which FA's are you referring to?

Id heard the money was not that different.. maybe it is ..but it was a 4 year offer from Geelong

Honestly he should take it. He could get stuck behind the younger guys coming through the midfield with us, whereas you will lose Ablett, J.Selwood, then maybe Danger and S.Selwood in that time.
