What would Rory Laird be worth?
Call it business sense or whatever but I would only medical test the shortlisted candidates.Please you get a yearly contract with an outside medical company, fixed fee then you get as many as you want. You aren’t talking massive dollars.
Why wouldn’t you talk to and medical test even the remote possibility so you are ready just incase come Trade week? Even if it’s the most unlikely outcome, things happen fast we’ve seen it before and most players are off on end of season trips come trade time, so why not take the opportunity to line up as many ducks and have as much information as possible
This. Our backline functions well without him and well with him. You are also correct that we will most certainly lose some players along the way. Its inevitable.
What is Papley's girlfriend's link with Nic Newman?
Her boyfriend used to play at the same club with him last year is my guess?

Is it really that hard to imagine that they might be friends after mixing in the same circles for a few years?

I know! On multiple times we went into games without a KPD - I think it was the saints gameWhere are these abundance of key defenders we have?
Jones? Has spent large chunks of the last 2 seasons, injured
Weits? Has missed a few games, each year.
Doc? Missed the last 2 seasons
Goddard? Seriously, has shown nothing, yet.
BSOS? Hasn’t shown anything to suggest he is AFL quality.
CAS? He is 30 next year and his biggest asset to the team is a back up ruck and back up forward and back up, backman
Plowman? Is not a key defender.
Macreadie? Constantly injured, has gone backwards.
This talk that we have a heap of key defenders is hogwash, just because someone is tall, doesn’t make them any good.
In short - the 2 marquee players had already won flags and their clubs probably needed the cap space, and the other 2 were cooked.Hawks - Buddy (Had already won a flag with Hawks by then, and offered 'once in a lifetime' deal)
Richmond - Yarran (Was let go with no trade due to Mental Health)
Deledio (Body was very Broken at that stage)
Cats - Gary Ablett, Jr (Had won Flags by then, and offered 'once in a lifetime' deal)
Mods, Can you auto correct * to be * like what happens with ******* campaigners?Essendon is often referred to as * around these parts, jack. Keep up!
Doesn't leave any room for Eddie though.I don't think it's too hard to see what the inclusion of Martin & Papley may bring about.
Our best team may look something like this -
Simpson Jones Plowman
Docherty Weitering Marchbank.......Newman or Williamson may take over from Simpson as the year wears on.
Kreuzer Cripps Murphy
Walsh Setterfield SPS
Cuningham CCurnow Martin
Papley McKay McGovern...............Looks to be our most dangerous forward line on face value.
ECurnow Fisher Dow....................JSilvagni, Gibbons, O'Brien, Kennedy etc etc
Clearly, our best midfield will be decided through the pre-season and some 'names' may have to miss early on.
McKay may have to take up some ruck duties. Bad luck if he doesn't like rucking.
