absolutely carved up minson and skipper on the weekend for werribee

and had 20 odd possies

You don't think they didn't tried to covince him stay?.

yeah i have, seen him play on the weekend to and played a great game

he cant be an absolute dud if he can flog MINSON and SKIPPER ( 2 afl listed players )
They aren't exactly good players though are they?

Besides we would be taking a step in the wrong direction of we drafted a VFL reject.

Why do you think minson and skipper playing in the magoos anyway?.
 
fanning looked very good against werribee, he has certainly improved and looks far more fluent than before and worth a shot. thats why they should keep also graham.

they usually replay the vfl games on during the week after 11pm on digital channel abc2 so you can see for yourself.

i just think if we wanna look for a ready made ruckman it should be fanning,

might not be the best player going round but does no how to win a tapout,

would be cheap and we should just start him off on a one year contract

we do have simmonds
and graham and pattison both coming up
( i think knobel will be delisted at the end of this year )

so instead of going after an expensive player like charman

why not go for the cheaper option he would only really be coming off the bench

when simmonds is tired
 
If we wanted a seasoned ruckman we should have picked up Rix before the saints snapped him up,he would have been a perfect back up.

he is a hack, why do you think lyon picked up clarke and gardnier straight away

we could do with maybe 1 crash and bash cheap ruckman but that would just set us back even further, time to stock up the ruck division with quality not bandaids!
 
Despite what many of you think, David Fanning is a very different player to the one he was when he was at Collingwood. He is mature and in very good form. He certainly has the size to match it with the big boys but he still has some bulking up to do. He is a strong grab and not a bad shot at goal either. He is impressive in the ruck. How do I know this? Because I work for Port Melbourne as their game announcer and match reporter.

I would like him at MC Labour Park next year. But don't rule out Fanning being at Punt Rd next year.
 
David Fanning did have a top game on Saturday however id rather have a nibble at Will Minson....sure he is not playing well at the moment but he is only 22 i think and he has got a bit of mongrel about him which the tiges lack big time! Unfortunately he doggies wouldnt probably want to give him up though but i think he is a ready made ruckman with a real physical presence which could be real beneficial for our younger players through the midfield.
 
Fanning might be one of those blokes that is too good for VFL, but not quite up to AFL standard. He did look good on Sat, and is just coming to the age where you would expect Ruckman to hit their straps. Late pick at best, or PSD, if at all.

im not saying go out and try pick him up with our first round draft picks,

or go out and trade our best player for him,

thats what im saying surely we could pick him up late in the draft for very little money

or in the PSD

i reckon we could offer him peanuts and he would come play for us, instead of playing in the magooes
 
Saw this game and Port were all over the Tigers, Fanning got plenty of touches but he is so not at AFL standard. I would hate to think we picked him up. Carving up Skipper doesn't really sell him to me.
