Daisy - off topic

[tigs2010]

Otters didn't cost Geelong greatly $$$$ wise neither did Pike , lynch or the Scott cost Brisbane greatly . All have got in players that have become vital cogs to their dynasty but they haven't paid them hugely .
There is only two Melbourne players I would look at would be Howe and Jones , the only two who had a go when the chips are down .
Fwiw interesting to see Sylvia's lack of output the last two weeks for a player many think highly of .

Is Jones a FA? He's the right age to become one but guess it's whether he's contracted next year. Would be a good acquisition to out midfield.

Sylvia is a ****ing knob. inb4 thread is started about getting him.

His career is over Sylvia.

wouldn't surprise me, daisy loves mick and vice versa. mick treated him like he was his son.

If this was the case I would like to see us have a crack at someone like Lucas from Carlton. Get in his ear and tell him Daisy is coming and he won't get a run, come to us for minimal $$ and is a quick outside player. Will be watching his development with interest this year.

We need leaders with potential to coach, like Ling or Harley type characters. The rest will fall into place.

could we even guarantee lucas a spot in the starting line up? i don't think he's been too flash

But if we can't get Thomas we should be looking to raid Melbourne, Frawley, Grimes and Trengove cannot want to hang around that joint for much longer especially if they are as pathetic as the last two games (we were really bad in 2010 but we tried)?? I'm a bit undecided on Watts, can't deny the talent but lacks heart and intensity in a big fashion is it the Melbourne in him or is he just really really soft?

Watts is an interesting one Calcium Man - a lot of talent but lacks heart and hasn't developed well at Melbourne (which is the same story of many of their prized early draft picks). With him getting subbed in that drubbing, there has been some media folk saying he won't be at the club next year. He looks like he needs a fresh change of scenery. With our track record of developing unfulfilled players from other clubs, I wonder if we would consider him?

Can Dimma and the coaches instill some guts and backbone into him? With Choco seemingly working wonders with the young players, is he someone he might be able to unlock the full potential of?

Frawley I would be interested in taking - we would then be set for KPDs for the next 5 or so years. Grimes and Trengove are both co captains - would they want to leave the club? Grimes may be interested in joining his brother at Richmond.

Given we have cap space, are on the rise as a club both on and off the field and play in front of huge clubs at the G, there wouldn't be too many clubs that would be attractive to play for than ourselves which will be a massive advantage with FA and trying to lure players from elsewhere.

We also have Blair Hartley and team in place who will ensure we are always looking at what bargains can be found so both of these factors will really help us adding talent in the coming years.

Not anymore

 

[RichoLedio]

Watts has Tambling written all over him, can't see him making it elsewhere to be honest

 

[LC_15]

Rather we offer our first 2 picks plus and outsider to Saints for 3 years out of Nick. But I know that wont happen.

No thanks

No thanks

Rather that than a Merc like Daisy

 

[Harmichael]

Never ever trade a first rounder unless you're absolutely in the dead centre of a premiership window - a big old bay window.

efa

Daisy wouldn't cost us any important draft picks and is in the same age bracket as Lids and would give us arguably the best midfield in the comp

So he needs 8 or 9 consecutive games to gain confidence?

He would cost us alot of our salary cap and possibly force us to trade players that would be considered depth.

Also, I'd rather have a player at our club that would want to be here for other reasons than $. If I had a choice, no thomas at all.

Same could be said for Nick except we're guaranteed to have to trade out depth/good picks to get him

 

[RichoLedio]

Not saying we should break the bank to get Thomas though, but he is the most appealing free agent to me

 

[Morro]

Watts is everything Dimma despises in a footballer, no way in the world would we target him.

he is a bit soft. he was injured vs. essendon but he was poor in round 1

couple of years ago i would've taken him, he was showing some real signs...now? coburg at best

 

[Harvey Leadpipe]

If splashing cash around, why not a versatile big man / back up ruckman? Wouldn't need to spend anywhere near as much as Daisy (and other average midfielders mentioned), and would prove to be a bigger asset.

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Anyone left unsigned worth pilfering from the expansion clubs?

 

[TigerTime88]

Reckon we'll be targeting someone like Xavier Ellis than Thomas. Won't cost much and like Pettard has talent but been hampered by injuries.

I would be keen to go after him and would cost minimal. Dominated in the 08 grand final and still has a heap of upside.

Would love Thomas in our 22 but only if we can give him brown paper bags full of cash for payment, because soon we are going to have to start giving a few guys some extra coin to avoid them bailing.

Grimes, Conca, Ellis, Vickery types will get offers over the next few years. Then even current fringe players like Elton, Dea, Nahas types are important to hold onto.

Very tempting though to have Cotchin, Lids, Dusty, Thomas, Foley, Conca, Ellis, Vlaustin, Knights, Tuck, Grigg.........woweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

The last time we played with Collingwood,our club went down the gurglar for 30 years.
No thanks.

Lucas is rubbish imo. Can't kick and would be playing for our VFL side.
