Bringing in Steve Johnson for a year makes no sense. Agree with RFC74 that he is declining rapidly and it only stifles the development of Lloyd and Lennon. I'll be pissed if we get him.
Massive yes to Yarran though. Kid is a jet and any attitude problems he has would be quickly stamped out by our leadership group which is far and above the leadership group at Carlton.

It's a non-story as happens with most trade articles this time of year, clubs give nothing to journo's so the journo starts scouring the footy forums see's something that catches his eye then writes an article about it which is exactly what has happened here with the johnson rubbish.

Can we start baiting these tabloid hacks with fake mail for the lulz? We need a code word in the thread title so we all know it's a stitch up.

Kruzer should be our #1 target IMO.
As a Carlton supporter, and I admit I don't know your list that well, but where would he fit? Ivan is a better ruckman, I think your tall forwards are better than MK when he's played there. That leaves a backup ruckman role, but I think MK plays better when the majority of his time is in the ruck. The only edhe I see MK over IM is around the ground.

Maric is 30 and will only slow down. He has a big heart but we cant take the risk just relying on him so heavily.
Kruzer is exactly what we need IMO. He can play foward as well. He would work well roatating with Vickery from FF to ruck.

Johnson is ideal as well IMO.
He is averaging 19 touches and 1.4 goals a game.
If he plays full time foward pocket he can play for another 3 years.

Yeah I see what your saying, and you have a good point.

A lot of Richmond supporters feel that Ivan only has 1 year left, whereas Kruezer probably has 5.

Although very good around the ground, Ivan also tends to get hammered by the really big ruckmen at taps.

Whether we get him or not (unlikely I'd say) his price would have gone up a bit.

How long has Evaan got left tho? Last i heard his body was held together with twine and scotch tape. Although same could be said for MK

I'm a yes for the Stevie J camp.

but only if it's not at the expense of lennon.

I think he would be a great addition. beauty of it is, he doesnt need to play every week and his body can be managed accordingly. he is a big game player. we could use him exacty like Geelong used Ottens at the back end of his career. play every 2nd or 3rd game (big clashes) and then get him fit for finals (if we are participating)

proven match winner, adds another element of unpridictability.

we will also get an extra 2-3 free kicks per game..

HF: Deledio - Vickery - Yarran
FF: Edwards - Riewoldt - Johnson
