Gee, that is worth the risk if we think we can get him fit I reckon. 27 years old, absolute gun when he is going, great compliment to Cunners and Higgins - that would give us a high end midfield.
and not that it means much but Hannebery was a north supporter as a kid

always like stockpiling bfnaaks

I don't disagree. My concern is that we haven't locked Durdin up the other end.
Yep agreed he needs to get back to where can be the most damaging for us and imo that's forward.

I don't think the coaching department are sold on Daw down back.
Durds is a total bust I reckon and not referring to his recent leg break. He's slow and doesn't take contested marks. He has all the intensity of a 3 toed sloth....It seems cruel on an player with a major injury but I'd delist him. McKay on the other looks highly impressive and could make it at either end. I think it's good for their development to play at both ends early doors as defensive pressure is very important for forwards and contested marking is important for key backs. Nielson has a chance because he is fast, strong and aggressive . Didn't look out of place at AFL level last year. Happy to be proved wrong on Durds he seems a very nice bloke, just don't see him making it.

Is he keen to pack his bags or are we just going to end up with carry on?

Was interested in playing for North and we still have contact in an above board kind of way. has along term deal so we'd have to offer something up to get Brissy to agree.


If we're trading Preuss for anything (which I hope we're not, why would we trade our next ruck when our current one is 30?) I hope it's for a better player than Cockatoo. Even picks would be better in my opinion.
IF and this is the problem for us. IF Todd is going to be our ruck for the next 3 or 4 years we do not need Preuss. This happened before with that other Indian footballer we had Dan Curry, he left for more opportunity, wasn't much chop but we did want Dan to stay as a back up ruck.

Do you honestly think Preuss will sign a new contract next year if he's still playing in the VFL? It's obvious we prefer Todd and see his likely replacement to be Xerri.

We have other area's of weakness we need to address and it is bloody time we grew a pair went into the trade period offered up some picks 'n' players and improved our on field position. And I don't mean a 28 year old clapped out Hanniberries from Sydney.

He can actually be eye poppingly quick. Scorched the deck at the borough when he Urquharted whoever it was. Delisting would be cruel, but that's footy. Might be headed to Princes Park or whatever its called these days
