He did play pretty well on Kennedy i thought.
Can't remember Kennedy beating him in a one on one, it was frustrating as hell.

If he is cheap why not. Don't need to pay overs. I'm sure he won't mind comming to WCE and out of the Dees on base salary.

He wouldn't be cheap.

Definitely won't be cheap. He's not a half bad full back, i'm sure other teams will be putting a bid in for his services

Glass doesn't really play on talls anymore. If fit waters could play that defensive Marshall role but more likely I see hurn taking over from glass
Suspect frawley will be out if reach money wise and he'd probably have a preference to stay in Victoria. If hawthorn want him he'd be mad not to take them up on any offer
Might pay to look at someone like Tate pears who we were trying to convince to come over when the saints were chasing brown.

Nah we were after hooker who didn't want to go which is why the brown to saints thing fell through kind of glad it did with all the asada stuff
What other free agency targets are there if not for frawley? Gibbs? may as well have a crack at frawley and if the price is too much let him go elsewhere.
We don't need another soft outside receiver pretending to be an inside mid.
We've already got Gaff and Sheppard on the outside.
If there's 1 position we're pretty deep in it's tall defenders. Glassy as 3rd tall is such a luxury, I reckon he'll most likely play next year too. If not, Schofield, McGovern, Barrass are options. Even Waters and Yeo could take that role given that Maxwell executes it mostly for the Pies.
We need a Gun mid, Gun small defender and a gun small forward before we need another tall backman. Once Glass retired we have Schoey down back and even Mcgovern in his new role could be a decent replacement.

Glass is still playing beautiful footy. His body work is sublime and he's a genius the way he reads the play. THE perfect mismatch defender. No reason why he can't go on.
True - people are harsh on key position defenders. It takes a long time for them to develop the skill set necessary to perform their duties at the elite level. Arguably the hardest position on the ground given the constant evolution of the interpretation of the "push in the back" rule and the imperative to be able to read the play of the opposition midfield and forward structure. Fletcher with his long arms has always been able to perform well but most others take more than 3 or 4 seasons to become adequate, let alone elite.

We're all aware that WC need to improve their midfield, but that doesn't mean WC shouldn't be looking to strengthen other lines as well. Shake as many trees as possible and see what drops. The more options being chased the greater the likelihood of snaring one.
