Lewis, hodge, Burgoyne and roughy were our big bodied mids. We tried to recruit Fyfe. We tried to recruit Dangerfield. I don’t think clarko has an aversion to big bodied mids. He just selects on talent no size.

We need a big bodied mid. Ollie Wines/Sam PP/Petraccaesue...some brute and grunt in the middle to help O'meara/Mitchell. Get in and under and shield our best.

Petruccelle? Big bodied mid? The dude is about 50 kgs dripping wet!
Finn Maginness?

I'm torn- SPP is not a great player but he does give max effort and has some absolute campaigner in him which I reckon we lack i the mids at the moment. Reminds me of a younger Mitch Robinson. If he could put a bit of worry in opposition mids and let our classier performers get some space I'd be OK. Mind you it could go the other way with frees against etc too.
You'd think with the likely addition of Finn that SPP doesn't make sense. One big bodied mid even though he'd be a rookie yes but adding 2 I just don't see it with Clarko.

I think he means Petracca
Really? I would've though maybe the opposite. I'm sensing a full rebuild which I reckon Dunstall will be advising.
could go either way. I want to stay and see if the new guy helps the situation or I want a fresh start somewhere stable

No to SPP we have enough mids that can find the ball, SPP has got no footy brain at all.
Either Laird and Fogarty would be great. Laird quality half back and can pinch hit in the middle. Fogarty good mark/kick and has got some natural mongrel in him which has always been a trademark of certain players in our successful times.

Confirmation nothing has changed on Rory Laird as reported last week. He is happy, Adelaide ain't shopping him. Nothing doing. Lots of names floated but he is staying put

Replace Rory Laird with Chad Wingard and Adelaide with Port Adelaide - and that seems all very familiar to tweets we saw last year.

I think he stays Tops.
Dwayne the flog Russell just hoping he goes to the Cats. He would hate the thought of him coming to us.

I'm in the no to SPP camp too.
Have watched him live a few times now, and he hasn't impressed me one bit in terms of football ability. Would rather draft and play Finn personally.

Seems strange to me as they really aren't similar players at all. Laird would be more of a replacement for Impey than Hardwick if anything.

If we get Powell-Pepoer can we also rookie the academy kid Pepper?
He's a bit green.
He's a bit green.
I didn't know we are looking at Powell-pepper?
I really hope none of the trades and free agents spoke about here force us to choose and relinquish the rights to draft Finn actually it would be madness on the clubs behalf to ignore the best talent available to us in the draft for yet another year when we didn’t even make finals and have one of the oldest lists in the league.
Poor mans Mitch Robinson.
