TLedge had fair few Hammy injuries during his first year as well, I do think he should be playing regular football in his 3rd year though..

yeh agree, if he hasnt played senior football this year, it surely will have to be an issue come the end of the year when the tough calls are made. i guess it depends on how many of the older players we delist and how many players we bring in.

eventually a call will have to be made on some of the older, younger crop that has come through to make way for more talent

the hammy was bad wasnt it. wasnt it similar to roo's or loyd's? although from memory it occurred half way through or late into his first season?

I am being particular with my assessment because I see Armo as a big midfielder (Ledger small) and Dal is also taller and in my book an outside player these days. he should be HBF with Newnes on the ball instead of HBF.

Sorry - what I mean is that on our list - Steven, Ledger and Curren are all essentially smaller inside players. I think the game is moving away from smaller insides so Ledger is behind Steven who is BOG at the moment.

From memory I don't think it was that bad, it was late in the year so they just shut him down.

I'd love to know why he can't get a gig. Everyone else has had a go except for him, really strange situation. Wish someone in the media would ask the more specific questions about selection rather than the easy "where's Kosi" type ones. How can we get a bit of a ground swell going.

Damien Barrett said we are into someone from Melbourne, Didn't quite catch the name as wasn't really listening. Think it was James Frawley may be wrong, Some one correct me if they heard it.

What concerns me is what if we do after Frawley and Melbourne won't trade him (or we don't agree to a deal) and then, because we've gone after Frawley, instead of him, Mitch Brown says "up your bum" to us and no longer wants to come here and we end up with no-one suitable for FB for yet another season.

I have no idea why we are going for contracted players.. Get someone like Mitch Brown this year and snag James Frawley via FA next year.

slightly random but can anyone see us going for Xavier Ellis in the FA period?
Is out of contract, one of Pelchens prodigies, No.3 pick in the same draft as Dale Thomas, just been ruined by injury. I see him as a long term replacement for Joey/Dal and fits the age bracket we are looking at..
31 disposals and 2 goals in the VFL on the weekend would suggest he is getting back to his best
personally I think he would be a very good get, lets not forget he did a Hannebery in 08 almost snatching the Norm Smith...

What type of Midfielder is he? Inside/Outside/Both? Haven't seen a lot of him only know he is had fair few injuries. Would only be 26 next season as well.. An unrestricted Free Agent

Free agent as well? Yeah sounds like a good prospect. Wouldn't mind having him on the list instead of Milera/TDL etc. Hope we look into him :thumbsu:

Frawley will cost too much for what he is; another undersized KPD. He might have great abilities, but no one has the ability to grow 10cm to match the likes of Patton, Daniher, et al.

Surprise!
We need KPs, but draft them now from the kids, not ready made ones.

The reality is that Roo and others in their gen won't see us climb back up. We need to set up the next line rather than worry about the immediate.

I'd previously wondered about him. Didn't see the point to be honest. Is he better than Farren Ray? Dean Polo? Maybe a little but what's the point?
