Stephens for Steven(s).

That’s no good. We need 2.

 

[plugger66]

No he recruits.

I know but I’m doubtful he can pull off a star. More likely the other way. He may get rid of a few who supporters think are stars or potentially

OK. Why the coach comment?

Wish we had 4 Steven’s. I’d even take one at the moment.

 

[plugger66]

Because I think players leave for a few reasons including the coach. Money and success are the other reasons. Success probably number one just. Coach third but still a reason. Let’s face it we probably got Hamill and Gehrig because of silly blight

Absolutely spot on.

Success then money. Everything else distant but a factor.

Unless we show we are competitive and are going to play finals we are going to be pissing into the wind.

 

[Dr Spaceman]

Steven May...

...is quite podgy.

OUT: Gubby Allan
IN: Jock Riley

The Age reporting we are into Todd Goldstein as a FA ruck to assist Marshall.
NM likely to be amenable given their need for draft picks to rebuild.
So the trade would be:
Saints get Goldstein as a FA.
NM get a compensation pick.

I'd kill for cunnington

I would not even slightly get that move. How does that even work.

Write to Michael Gleeson.
I have NFI why we’d do this.

 

[BrutThough]

Such a strange one to link us too.

We know Marshall needs to improve his tap work but that's his only real weakness right now. Plus, it is his first season actually rucking so with a full preseason working speficially on that, there is plenty of room for him to improve.

Here is a comparison for Marshall and Goldstein this year. Apart from that tap work, Marshall is arguably having a better season

It only works if either Marshall or Goldstein is a better forward that either Bruce or membery. Probably has to be Bruce. I don’t think either are. And even one is it’s that slight it’s not worth the money.

 

[Hayes4PM]

Any chance we can poach some talent from that Carlton shit hole??? I get we’re not the MOST desirable destination, but our sales pitch would be “we aren’t Carlton”.

Club sees Marshall as more of a forward and playing the role Bruce is as a part time ruck ? Either way we need another ruck I doubt Longer or Pierce will be there next year. Not the worst idea Roma definitely needs help maybe trade Bruce out for a decent draft pick

Agreed. Marshall isn't that great in the forward line and we would be stifling his development by playing him there to accommodate a 31 year old ruckman.

agreed, but if we lose stephen, robbo, paddy, we'll be struggling to reach the minimum cap spend. Grabbing Goldy on a front loaded contract as back up for marshall wouldn't be the worst move, but only if we can't find a better way to spend the $$ (coniglio etc)

Don’t see any reason he can’t be a very good forward

 

[StCicatriz]

If true we must have a high opinion of longer. Hickey and lingers trades have been yuck!

Surely we get someone we need though to spend cap money. We need another ruck but you don’t need 2 first rucks. No club does that. Madness and hopefully not true.

 

[Hayes4PM]

I’m just going to mention Will Brodie again. Averaging 32 touches in the NEAFL, big bodied natural midfielder, really want.

I feel like lots of touches in the NEAFL doesn’t necessarily count for much.

It would be a big step backwards to move Marshall into that second ruck position. It takes away his biggest strengths of his mobility at stoppages and ability to expose other ruckman through winning that contested ball. He does need to work on his tap work but that will come. He has shown he has Grundy upside so it would be crazy to take him out of that role

And for the 5 minutes maximum a quarter the second ruck is actually used, I don't think we need to move Marshall from his best position and bring in another ruckman.

Apart the afl players the Neal would be about b grade ammos
