Couldn't that logic apply to Dixon? The right environment and a few years in the system can work magic. Heck Hartlett couldn't keep on the park to begin with now look at him. Some are worth the risk of come cheap
Fair point. I'd just hate to see us delist Redden and Shaw and pickup someone like Gorringe. Would make no sense whatsoever.

I remember a poster here saying we'd told Freeman we'd try to get him to Port at some point; obviously that's a tough ask now with other stronger targets coming to the club, but his pace and outside run would have been an asset.

The Saints have offered it to him apparently.
And theres their problem right there... thats about as smart as 1.5 Mill for Melksham the Dee's are trying on..

Though Richo would have steered them away from that sort of campaigning apparently not?

Hmm something still doesnt seem right about our list balance though
Shaw, Redo, Harvey out all KPP
only
Big Dix in...

What am i missing?

which is smart, effectively drafting him with salary. costs them hardly anything as its not pushing anyone aside and they get him for half of the pick he went for. AFL will have to weigh in on this though. Boyd, Lennon, Freeman etc. draft is becoming irrelevant we need a bigger scaled maximum pay range.

Yeh I don't see anything in gorringe that says we should pick him. Hasn't shown anything in years that a rookie couldn't do
we all like to harp on about how big men take time to develop. I think time is still on gorringes side, and the only reason he is considered ahead of redden is cos reddens body was apparenty cooked. dont forget lobbe is 26 years old, and didnt have a breakout year until he was 24.

the only problem i mmight have is if the reports are correct regarding his personality. but if he turns out to be a good footballer ill get over that

Our biggest immediate list balance issue with Dixon in and Schulz staying is we are still overstuffed with HBF'ers.

i keep looking here hoping to eventually read that we are being heavvilly linked with one of the players that want out of clubs....ie redden, aish, bennell etc. But nuffin. Seeing as it seems to be player managgers that spread the goss youd assume that they would know who is doing what. So im inclined to think that we just arent that active at the moment beyond getting the deal for dixon done.

Hinkley has basically set as much. Dixon is our number 1 priority this trade period nothing else. Of all the players available bar that deal nothing there on the market has more priority then re-signing Chad, Ollie and Hammer. If we get Dixon, lock up those 3 and don't lose anyone of note I'll be happy with the off season.

There's a cost to pay if you want all these other players which will inevitably make us worse. To bring in a Bennell, Mayes, Redden whoever else on top of Dixon will chew cap room and we would lose one of Hammer, Chad or Ollie for what players worse then him? Nah no thanks.

what you don't want is for us to be one of those clubs that has to have their name around the papers daily, like Richmond, being linked to Yarren and Bennell and all these guys. i love dealing in the shadows, i want us to come out of nowhere with a 3 year deal for Craig Bird, that's my dream this window.
