Ryan Burton would be a great wingman, tall at 191cm and moves ok, with a booming kick. His only issue has been staying healthy, has been injured for a few years now quite often. Would happily give him a list spot if it was available, well worth the punt.
 
What are everyone’s thoughts on Logan McDonald? We had some interest last year. He might be one to get on the cheap if Sydney get Curnow, after an injury interrupted year.

“Has been injured for a few years now…”

No thanks.

Next season the Saints are paying $3.75m between Nas and TDK. I think that puts an end to their free agency.
 
Burton wouldn't be a bad target I think - as long as we acknowledge that he's not a true KPD, something Port never did. He's a third tall, interceptor and distributor off HBF - with a Moore and Frampton in the side I think he could do well as that type.

As a DFA I think he would worth a throw at the stumps - we don't really know what shape/form Reef will be returning in, Howe's body is becoming a concern and with Frampton, Moore and the (hopefully) incoming JSos all having missed periods with injury this season - another option in defense wouldn't go astray imho.
Prefer we gave game time to Ryan given Silvagni is coming.
 
Just looking at the Brisbane lions last night, they had fair few young players who showed that they have what it takes to compete and succeed at the afl level

Their drafting and development system is just on another level. They are setup to be dominant for a very long time.

Which is what we should aim to get back to.
I hear Mark Williams is available
 
The amount of protection these flogs get from the media is astounding. The Steggles nightclub narcolepsy debacle was mind blowing. If that was Pies player it would have been front page news for a week and Walphy would be calling for a life ban
Might be time to give Ralphy a call just to remind him of this…. Tell him it’s a scoop and he won’t be able to resist!
 
Not when they are being asked to play a year for nothing.

You are thinking of deals where a player with say 2 years to run at $500k might have taken 3 years at something like $400-450.

Feel free to bring up one of the many players who have swapped clubs and taken the kind of haircut you are suggesting?
Brand Petracca will skyrocket at the Pies…. There’s the money!

How do we get Petracca? Doesn’t he still have 3 or so to run on his contract? And we don’t have any draft picks to satisfy the Dees? Or am I missing something?
One option is to trade our future first for Petracca and Mebourne's future 2nd.

Melbourne to pay 300K PA of Tracs wage (and him taking an additional haircut of 300K PA). Leaving us paying Trac 800K PA. Melbourne's future 2nd for Flanders.

Future first for those two players is decent business IMO. Provides for the now (Daicos running mate) and for the future. Then Silgvani in for free and we're ready to challenge again next year.
