If Stengle leaves, you'd think he's chasing a big contract, given they're in contention and were the team to allow him to resurrect his career.

No current season stats available
Jeremy McGovernOnly way you'll get a decent player at low cost, will be a UFA from a lower side that has been on reasonable money, but now wants to chase finals/flags
Think Brian Lake

All gone
It won't happen, but Battle in, Marchbank and S.Durdin out...Do we have any confidence that his body holds up?
If the Saints don't get close to finals, I'd have a crack at UFA Battle, especially if we can convince him to come over on modest coin
More durable than Gov and Marchbank and can play on different types
Please... I don't even like Zurhaar but he's shown more than any of our forwards have over their careers in one of the worst, possibly THE worst team of all time... Regardless of whether he's a flog or not he's an upgrade on some of our options in the fwd line, he's streets ahead of players like Orazio and Durdin.Cam Zurhaar is not an upgrade on Elijah Hollands.
Why would we pay 700k a year for a guy who takes a few hero pings at goal a game and lays a hip and shoulder?
He's flashy. But he blazes away regularly and it strikes me more as a personality thing then a coaching instruction

Would love something like that to happen, especially if you replaced Zurhaar with Stengle or Hayward, but I just can't see us having the cap space for it unless SOS came knocking for a Kemp or Young type too.It won't happen, and it's just a hypothetical, but imagine the likes of Battle in with S.Durdin and Marchbank out, and Zurhaar in with likes of Cuningham and Martin out.
Battle is bog ordinary.Think we should throw SOSs grenade (pushing Weiterings price up) right back at him…
We need a KPD, to partner with Weitering.. Offer Battle a mid $$$ contract and a chance to play with a team in their premiership window…
He’s an UFA so Saints can’t match and would get bugger all compensation…
Where do we find one?Battle is bog ordinary.
And 193cm - miles off a KPD.
We should be looking for a Harris Andrew type...circa 200cm.
Lots of bargains on gumtreeWhere do we find one?
You are right in that he is more a 3rd defender than the KPD that many on here make him out to be.Battle is bog ordinary.
And 193cm - miles off a KPD.
We should be looking for a Harris Andrew type...circa 200cm.

In what position? genuine questionA poster on the D&T board mentioned they are “reasonably certain” (whatever that means) that Caleb Daniel will be a Carlton player next season. What do we think?
Maybe the coaching staff miss Sammo's little 15m dinky sideways kicks and think Caleb can fill he slot?Not sure why we need Daniel?
I wouldn't compare them as players at all and I don't think they're in the same role or the same type of player. I think Zurhaar is more of an explosive 3rd tall, ala Stringer. Hollands seems to me to be more of a creative half forward.Cam Zurhaar is not an upgrade on Elijah Hollands.

I think that we have to set the bar slightly higher than "better than Young".Battle is a pretty good player but will get better offers elsewhere. He’d need to take unders to come to Carlton. Would rather persist with Kemp who is a similar type.
I actually wouldn’t mind having a shot at Dougal Howard if we go for someone from StKilda. Has been through some poor form recently but is a pretty good stopper with a super boot when he’s on. Better than Young at the very least. 28yo.
A Harris Andrews would be lovely but I don’t think we need to splurge to find a good FB. It would’ve been Durdin if he could stay fit. There are plenty of cheap guys who could fit into a system and play a role alongside a gun like Weitering, we just have to take a punt.
