Still not sure why we aren’t all over him, he’d be a great acquisition with the question marks on Moore

I don’t watch enough of adel to know. Is he an intercepting type? Would he fit out mix? Or is he more a billy type?

More like Billy.

Billy type.

Billy type.

Then I can see why we aren’t (may not be) interested tbh

Yeah I don't think he's for us. I think he'll leave though - he'd be silly not to. He's just warming Keane's spot.

 

[Go Woods]

I hope if we miss out on a quality mid this year we are still staying in touch with Rowell for end of next year.

That's who we need to make the big FA offer to.
Reckon this one might be done already end of next season.

 

[Stripes B and W]

Yes Bruz can play tall, but a tall defender cohort of Billy, Moore, Howe and Howes is a real concern.
Howe is almost a one in a generation player but it's he and Moore that gives up our intercepting. Butts would be handy, all the better sides have the interceptor type, it's a huge short term list need.

I think he'll be a dog - just a perfect fit.

Yes, he will be pretty handy for them.

A quick scroll on Jed Walter’s socials shows him and Jaicos have followed each other in recent days.

Get the welcome thread ready!

Insta doesn't work like that these days. You can't tell how long someone has followed someone unless you know for sure they didn't before --They probably have followed each other for years tbf

I actually did stumble across his page probably a month ago, right before the rumours started. They weren’t following eachother.

Mine is definitely showing his recent though, because Pies fans are getting ahead of themselves and following him lol.

Of course a lot of players are close these days, but the timing is interesting. High chance there could be nothing in it.

I can’t believe I’m doing this in June.

I follow multiple opposition players lol I assume a lot of fans do.
But lets not read anything into it in June haha

Makes me wonder if that Ballard rumour is legit. As you say, Butts makes a lot of sense

Butts is too like Frampton. I don't think you'd want them together. Ballard would be good.

What rumour? The rumour I have heard is NM are into him hard. He has 3 years left on a decent contract. It appeaars that the emergence of Oscar Adams has him out of the side

Masked Magician apparently has mail. Think it’s in the thread somewhere

 

[cfc19902010]

Butters would be such a fine recruit. I dunno what's better, missing out on the A graders or paying too much.


He was a bit broken down by the end of 2010. He was a prototype Jamie Elliot, threw himself around on the deck and in the air.

Josh Fraser even more so, he was so skinny and he'd get physically trashed by huge rucks, I think he was playing like guys like Jolly (the year before) and McEvoy and Dean Cox and Keating and Ottens and Primus for years. He fronted up and took the beatings and won us games until he was wrecked.

Paul Medhurst was a far superior player to blair

All. Australian .. beautiful kick mark etc and your correct the Jamie prototype
He had injuries and then Mick left him in the VFL way too long as he conceded
Jarryd was a plodder but did play some nice games in 10/11 granted
After that nope
Macaffer and Blair were lucky also neon went off the boil on top of medders being left out

Jen dislikes it when pie fans want to poach one of her Suns

Medhurst at his best was unreal. Really inconsistent career though - unfortunately for him and fortunately for Jarryd, 2010 wasn't his year.

Hah I’ve just learnt you can’t always rely on social media stuff.
Fwiw I was told there is some legit about the Ballard rumour last night so there might be something there

 

[footballsack35]

What type of defender is Ballard? Similar to Frampton?

 

[manicpie]

What type of defender is Ballard? Similar to Frampton?

A good one. Intercept

 

[Lifelong Pie]

He's more an interceptor, before his knee injury he was looking very good
