Your right. I just checked and he is 27 in January. But his body is falling apart already and he has struggled this year. He might have 2 years left at any sort of output before the soft tissue injuries overcome him.

I wouldn't be going for proven serviceable talls.
Williams and Harris are quality KP options and Morris and Hargrave tallish options depending on week to week match ups.
I think that most times you need to give what you already have the chance to be serviceable. Wight, Doogs, Tiller and eventually O'Shea should be given that chance ahead of bring in McGregor type.
so do i...what would johns offer this club? ZILCH!!! no thanks.
If they wanted Gia and we got hille i would say YES!!! for the straight swap.

we don't want gia! but we would take hann or higgins
for hille? ur joking surely?
We don't or you don't?
Gia would be a nice fit at the Bombers.
Hahn is a required player, there are very few players if any like him on our list. If you want Higgins for Hille you would need a draft pick at the higher end or another player that would be of some use to us so in other words not Bolton who is no use to anyone.
Even if you did offer Hille and a high draft pick I'd probably say no to dealing Higgins as would most in here.
Gia would be a good fit for u guys. a slow midfielder to play along side campo and J.J
they only way campo and jj will be wearing a bomber jumper next year is if the are playing for pascoe vale or west adelaide
hehe

williams at CHF what are your thoughts
i think doogs is better down back and could take that CHB spot.
i think we should devlop tiller as a FF type player
we could even see O'shea come on next year, is he more a FB type of player where has he been playing for werribee
If there is any chance of McMahon being traded then in return we should enquire about Jay "Son of Merv" Neagle. Big KPP who takes a good grab - been in the system for a couple of years and would have been a 1st rd draft pick if not for his selection as a Father/Son by the Dons. Exactly what we need as he's still potentially got 10-12 years left in him.Talk of trading with Essendon is a bit premature given that the new coach may have his own ideas.
Also, couldn't see McMahon going anywhere but to SA.
As for Gia going, I HOPE ITS TRUE as the bloke has a pea heart

Just wondering have there been any of our players on the playing list that haven't been mentioned in a trade scenario on this thread?
Grant
Akermanis
West
anyone else?

THe only midfielder/s we would be interested in would be Cross and Griffin, and i can't really see them going anywhere. I'd like Griffin though, how bout Hille, Bradley and our 2nd rounder for him.
We don't need any more pace really, we've got younger guys coming through who should be getting a gig in the starting 22, we need inside player, or KP backs. Williams comes to mind. Thoughts?

Thanks for your enquiry...
Hille for Gia? What a joke. Gia had a bad season but surely he hasnt depleted this low.
Seriously guys.
Seriously guys.
Gia at his best would add maybe 5% to the team.
If Hille came in and became our No 1 ruckman and was playing at his best he'd easily add 10%+ to the team.
I'd do the trade in a heart beat.
Gia is a good player - but he's slow, kicks it 40metres max, and only comes to play once a month.
We have Winderlich, Dempsey, Jetta, Dyson, Nash, Davey we don't need fast outside players at all. IMO it would be silly to give up anything for McMahon that is worth something.
That is a shocker. Hille for McMahon?!?! McMahon isn't worth a third round pick IMO whereas at the very least Essendon would be able to get a top 15 pick for Hille.
Why ins't Gia rated by you guys anymore?

what do people think of David Armitage should we go for him, he sounded good before the draft, as being an in and under player
would he be worth a punt what would it cost, and would he be even up for grabs

1st round pick who has been at his club for only 1 year. As Dale Kerrigan would say, 'tell him he's dreaming'.

yeah i couldnt think if he was picked up last year or the year before, didnt last to the dogs pick i would have been keen 2 pick him, the talk about being west like in the way he just finds the ball.
I think Johnno and Bobby are viable options as psudeo CHF's (both sharing the role as HF targets). However, they need a taller option that will allow them to roam outside 50. Tom Williams could be a 'CHF'/HF target but I think we need a power forward who uses FF as a default base more.
FB/BP. He was the 2nd youngest player taken from last year's draft. For an underage, late selection KP to warrant VFL senior selection in his first year is pretty impressive. I have heard big things about his courage and saw him take a massive hit and then come back on very soon afterwards, much to the astonishment of Werribee's medical staff.
My expectations of him next year are basically those of a typical first year, raw KP. If he makes it, it will be a great selection by Clayton.
With the improvement of Williams, McDougall and Everitt this year could we look at moving Harris to the forwardline to fill this role?
