Squiggle tips Lions at 64% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
I'd be more than happy if we landed Brown for a couple of years while Jones develops. (that is, if Daniher gets sent to the knackery)Ben Brown is out of Contract but will be 30.
Would love Ben Brown. If Daniher goes (which I suspect he will) I'd give him a big offer.
Lockyer seems a good type.
I'm reasonably sure we planned our 21-24 cap around keeping Daniher and having to pay him a premium.Can’t see Ben leaving North. You just know they’ll have huge cap space put aside for him.
I'm not sure Gold Coast can fit all of King, Wright and Day in their forwardline. Not sure what will happen there but there might be a tall forward up for grabs.Can’t see Ben leaving North. You just know they’ll have huge cap space put aside for him.
Norf have always got the capacity to make a huge bid for players at other clubs. No chance they get outbid on one of their own.I'm reasonably sure we planned our 21-24 cap around keeping Daniher and having to pay him a premium.

There is no harm in asking a question. It could also make North pay a bit more than they were wanting to.Yeah we’d have spare money for sure but I doubt we could outbid North when you consider you have to pay a premium to get him to change clubs. Plus didn’t Brown sign a team friendly deal last time? Very much doubt he’s the type to leave.

Yep, that's a fairly accurate summary.You would be happy to have one of the top three full forwards in his prime while our juat drafted second rounder project develops?
Have no interest in Brown - Your system is good enough and you can win a premiership without a dominant tall forward.
I'd like a dominant tall forward to be the spearhead of the system, dominating, so McKernan, Stringer and Laverde have an easier time of it. If the cap space is there and there's interest from Brown, you'd be very pleased to see him in red and black.Have no interest in Brown - Your system is good enough and you can win a premiership without a dominant tall forward.

Dogs 16, Swans 12, Cats 07, Eagles 06.only like 2 or 3 of the last 20 premierships haven't had a dominant key forward in their team during the season?
id much rather have one..........
Dogs 16, Swans 12, Cats 07, Eagles 06.
Only ones that spring to mind.
I think if he'd given a * he probably would've been.you don't reckon Nathan Ablett was a dominant key forward?
Lynch & Brownonly like 2 or 3 of the last 20 premierships haven't had a dominant key forward in their team during the season?

Boyd dominated on the day, not so much during the year.Dogs 16, Swans 12, Cats 07, Eagles 06.

I don't recall Q Lynch being dominant. A Lynch absolutely was though.

Didn't realise Quinten Lynch had been that effective; helps when the mids are that good.WC was underpinned by a freakish midfield, though Lynch did manage 65 goals in 2006 so wasn't exactly a bad target.
I think you need at the very least a consistent KPF target down there that holds the forward structure together, Reiwoldt is a talented player but his role now is more a structural one to allow the smalls consistent opportunity than as a dominant single forward.
Someone like Hooker in 2017 is probably a good example for us, kicked 40 goals (also keeping in mind there's been a significantly decline in the number of goals kicked by individual players in a season) and provided an important structural piece for our forward-line. We've lost Daniher but we've also not had a reliable forward target in his place. McKernan has good games where he is that target, and others where he's useless. Hooker was able to be that target every week.
But our long term planning would have been that.Jury is out in Daniher this year.
If he doesn't perform/injury doesn't improve then Essendon don't have to pay him a premium to stay IF he does sign on in RFA.
