[susurrar]

very astute trade by you. i dont know what we are doing.

this might sound crazy but i still think he can be a star. one of the best contested marks ive seen. still raw and learning the game.

 

[Scorpus]

He's a 22 year old 197cm key forward who played 7 games and kicked 4 goals for North this year

From what I watched of North he's a great mark but has questionable disposal

Better return than Murph this year…

At least he cost essentially nothing.

[Danger Zone]

Rather take a punt on a guy like this for a year than carry older blokes for no reason. Traded for peanuts and has some upside. I like it.

 

[cmndstab]

So are we keeping Strachan as well?

Let's retain Burgess as well, and have our SANFL forward line stacked full of guys 6'6" and above.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Apparently a great mark, very athletic but can't kick.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Worth the shot on what we’ve given up

"We've been tracking him since U12s"

ok Bicks

 

[Jarman3]

That moustache has to go. Giving me Gallucci vibes when I look at it.

Nah, Strachan is done.

We may retain him in a coaching/ playing role for the sanfl should he want it.

 

[relapse]

For a second when I saw the name I thought it was going to be another Ootib C thing, but it's an actual player.

 

[Scorpus]

I have to say, recruiting a depth key position player who had no contract offer from the club with the worst key position depth in the league (North Melbourne) is certainly an interesting move

 

[cmndstab]

Nah, Strachan is done.

We may retain him in a coaching/ playing role for the sanfl should he want it.

Excellent. Stick him up forward and have a forward line of Burgess, Strachan, McAndrew and Maley, with Welsh playing the small role. Then just bomb every I50 entry straight up the chimney!
