Have you seen the imediate impact he made this year playing as a sub? Buckley didnt like playing him for whatever reason.
We need players with class and skillfull enough to make disposals count. Didak can do this,day in day out to this very day .
Yeah he has slowed, but his skill makes up for that well enough to sit a season or two in a forward pocket, Compared to at least 15 of the possible alternative players on our list. He would be as good if not better than at least 50% of the 1-3 year players.

Craigy will end up at the lions and we all know his trade philosophy

He will trade nicely with us

If rumors around the Brissy board are true he'll be walking into a complete mess, they're saying 5 young players are trying to get out. He might not have a choice but to except the highest offer. Trade week could be pretty interesting this year.

Just remembering back to this time last year when Monfries name was thrown around and copped much of the same.
Age aside, I still think Didak is in a bracket above Monfries, and it just shits me how well Monfries has done this year in a side willing to take a punt on an out of form homeboy.

10 bucks says Port will do the same with Dids and well scoop up yet another elite running goofy footed pretty boy, who stuggles to play more than half a dozen games in 5 years..

Surely, if we are willing to take a punt on Angus Graham...

If he's not good enough for Collingwood, why is he good enough for us?

Trick question right?
I dont think its a matter of him being good enough. To mind, its a personality issue. This says more about the coach then the player.

Collingwood need more of what we have, and We need a shit load more of what they have.
Elite disposal/football intelligence is such an underrated asset in out thinking.

Yep.... Polec and Karnezis sound like they're gone, and Longer, Yeo, and Docherty were all rumored as being pretty unhappy.

Monfries is in his prime though

Whatever criticism he gets on here is purely because if him playing for frees, not to do with his actual output.
Id say he was all but written off, not just here but @ Bombers in his final season before comming over here to rejuvinate.

Fast forward a year and he should rightly be considered in his prime.

Think of how many players have done it in reverse, i.e leaving here looking like a flogged nag, only to re-invent themselves elsewhere.

This is the very situation where our list manager earns his money. He quite possibly has been working on Polec and his manager to convince him that we can provide him the best opportunity to establish himself as a quality afl player. Noble has known for some time we are in need of quick outside midfielders with good kicking skills. I would assume he has identified Polec as a possible trade for us sometime ago.He may very well have an in principal agreement in place with Polec to bring him in. Now we have to satisfy Brisbane. To gain a good young player from another club would take some real groundwork. I only hope it is our list manager who has put in the effort and not Ports.

Hope we'd be having a huge crack at Longer if that's the case.

Our list manager is one of very few people in our senior admin who does earn his money.

Please provide me with a list of these 30.5 year olds that we lets go then go on to improve elsewhere.

I've been saying since Voss got sacked that Craigy will end up at Brissy either as Senior Coach or a Rodney Eade type of role
