Not sure. Right age for us as a mature age player if we thought he could come straight in.

So he's youngish, but is he any good at all?Pick 62 2015 - 0 AFL games
We really don't need list cloggers, even if they are essentially free. We need to get whatever value we can for the oldies and get young talent in.
That's completely not the point. JJ is currently a better footballer than Berg, no debate.
If we are going to rebuild, then JJ is not in the next premiership team, and if we think Berg is going to develop to be our FF/CHF then we need to invest in him.
So you dont think a young forward can improve his marking?
Us older mature people should remember a guy called Rodney Marsh. When he 1st played test cricket as a wicket keeper he was nicked named iron gloves.
The rest is history
Easier to fix up marking than turning a marshmallow into a warrior.
In saying that in defence of our forwards how does Jenkins take Rance apart and Fogarty kick 5 on McGovern and be s**t the rest of the time.
Amazing how bit of a game plan works. Might even excite the players

A strong username to failed forwards correlation can be the only explanation here.

If we trade out CEY and Greenwood then why not. We could also possibly delist Poholke and free up an extra spot on the main list and replace him with Partington. Seems to be a pretty like for like replacement. If we were to trade one of the Crouch brothers then Partington and Poholke would both be pretty decent options in the short term.

Poholke is contracted for another year
something almost everyone on this board seems to miss constantly

Dwayne Russell hates our club so much. Wouldn’t listen to a word he says.

Contracts mean very little. Club could still move him if he is willing to move.

I'd hold onto Myles for one more year. Still think he has 'something.'

His reply was to the poster that said Poholke could be DELISTED, that's an altogether different proposition and one that not going to happen unless the club is prepared to pay out his contract.....will not happen.

I personally can't see him holding down a midfield spot. I would move him myself. Has no standout features I can see. Lacks pace and just not creative enough with the ball in hand. Would be in Myles best interests to leave to a club such as GC if he is not In the crows long term interests.

Myles DOES NOT lack pace, that is entirely a Big Footy fallacy.

Id be holding onto Laird but if he does choose to be traded (of which I doubt) then at least he is a top 10 pick.
All Australian, Best and Fairest, still young and under contract for 2 more years.....if it is Geelong as rumoured we would be getting whatever they get for Kelly.

The leader of the bunch.
He looked fairly quick on Sunday. Broke away from the pack a number of times.
Crazy that we preferred Douglas over him this year.

Haven't I read somewhere Geelong have to use a 1st round pick this year?

Myles & Gooch have been the main 2 who have suffered from our selection continuity policy.
If we moved these guys on without giving them a proper go (particularly Myles) i would be annoyed.
He seems to get a chance and then we drop him the week after, he needs a decent block of games to get settled in.

Exactly he's a sub 3.00 20m sprint player [2.98]...he ain't slow, in fact he's quite quick. Decision making and composure has been his biggest area that needed work and IMO that has improved markedly this season.

yes. But apparently they will be getting 2 x 1st round picks for Kelly if the Melbourne media machine is to be believed - so if they want Laird it would have to be a better deal than what they get for Kelly considering Laird is a 2 x AA in the last 3 seasons

Honestly cant see who he would take the spot of. Moving forward our midfield is likely to be Sloane, Jones, Gallucci, MCrouch, BCrouch, Smith, McHenry. I also feel Brown and Doedee are potential midfielders. Not to mention who we trade and draft. If we keep pick 3 i presume they would be going for the best available mid with class and speed. Nothing against myles but he is a list clogger and will never make it at Afl level at our club. Tbh I don't think he will make it at any club.

All of that might be the eventual outcome but I'd suggest you really haven't watched Poholke closely this season or indeed ever because he most certainly DOES NOT lack pace as you stated.
Situational Awareness and Decision Making on the other hand...
