Where can we find another Higgo? A talented but inconsistent player. Back our medical team in. Higgo is the reason I wouldn’t be against going after Sloane for free.
Yeah we have the cap space so may as well use it to bring in elite free agent talent and keep our picks

Sloane will play deep into his 30s so I'm with you in that he would be worth it and would take pressure off the other mids

Dahlhaus is the main one to target who I expect will be higgo like when he comes over and add speed and class to the side

Something something trade Goldstein.
Exactly Goldy is on 800k
That money goes to Josh Kelly on top of the difference to pay 100% of the cap since right now we would be barely paying the minimum

we would still have money to grab free agents this year (Dahlhaus/Sloane) considering we had space for both dusty and Kelly

We really should be looking at De Goey for a small forward/mid option. He won that contested Collingwood game today.
The more I see Collingwood play with him in the side the less likely I feel they'll even consider letting him go(ey).

I reckon there's no chance. The kid f***ed up but he's quite obviously a key piece of their future.

People won't be able to tackle him in a couple of years.

If we were able to snare him the Pies supporter lynch mob will come for Buckley in full force.

You'd thunk he'll be high priority re-signing

If Thomas is going before our first round pick we should be trading out that pick in advance for a young interstate gun looking to come home.

Contracted or not, offer 5 years at $450 for an unproven but talented kid to come back to vic and that will be enough for them to ask to be traded to North.

Rayner, Cerra, mcclugage, berry, tarranto, Ainsworth, witherden, Florent, etc

Norths first in 2018

For player and maybe third rounder

De Goey will be worth chasing! He had come back this year since his suspension and is having an influence. I think the pies won’t have huge amount of cap space because of the amount of $$$ they are paying Grundy, Treloar, Adams, Pendleton ect.

We should be up to our eyeballs in Gaff as well. He is one of the most damaging outside players in the comp.

Who would have thought we would get a 2014 top 10 in 2016 it’s the same go
Ahern had done a successive ACL and that was under a salary cap squeeze. You're right though it's not impossible. Setterfield is an academy player though which I think GWS will hold onto tighter.
