Yeh rip the heart out of the club. That’ll help

And port are heading south, why would merrett want to go there

until josh carr becomes senior coach + solid squad

until josh carr becomes senior coach + solid squad

Their squad isn’t solid. They’ve got 3 really good players, and half the time if butters is out/ doesn’t play well they get slapped.
You don’t think Carr doesn’t already have his finger prints over how they’re playing right now. Ken coaches from the boundary. If port were smart they would move on Carr aswell and get a fresh voice. They don’t have a first round pick this year either.

 

[fairbump_playon]

if we do target butters + reid, should we ask merrett about considering being traded to port to get butters over the line? gives merrett a chance of playing in finals in his prime

We should ask him about it, but not actually do it, just so he stays on his toes and realises no-one is indispensable.

I think that will finally get him to try a bit.

It’s a mirror of the rutten situation. Basically one-for-one. And we all know how that played out…

Yep, about time someone lit a fire under his arse. Downhill skiers - can’t stand em.

If we low ball him Adelaide can too, and we won’t get band 1.

If we got Butters and Reid, we'll very likely go past Port next year

 

[Milanista28]

coming around on a butters trade.

Think you could do Redman, Gresham and pay enough salary to open up cap room for Port to chase a FA. Say NWM or Draper or whoever.

Essendon get a top player. Open up 2 list spots and it only costs 1 first or 1 2nd depending on the FA port get. That feels like a win.

Would require Caldwell to shift to HB in redmans role and then be 2nd rotation mid but he’d be really good there.

You really want Caldwell off half back aye?

 

[BomberManU]

We're a long way off being able to attract talent like Butters and Reid. Need to keep building a solid base, surely.

I wish someone looked at me the way you look at the idea of Caldwell off HB

I doubt it I view him as a disposable side chick

 

[Petrify]

After last week. I'm very sure we should be throwing our picks + cap at Butters over anyone. Badly need someone who is just an all out nutcase at the contest.

What about Rowell?

 

[Petrify]

What about Rowell?

Both are fine but Butters is a strictly better player. Rowell is focused too much on inside work & is weaker on the outside. Butters is insane in the contest and a better user.

Also Rowell is prone to the total stinker game (2 games this year in a row at 16 disposals, one at 17), whereas Butters is more consistent.

 

[Petrify]

I think my priority would be

1) Butters
2) Reid
3) Rowell

but wouldn't be unhappy with any of them

I agree butters is a better player. I’d still love Rowell
