Can confirm the club has approached Matt and offered him more than the 1 year on offer from Port.

This comes straight from the horses mouth, via another horse of course! haha

It's obviously not your call...

Bringing in a heart soul hard at it contested ball winner can't be a bad thing. We certainly need more of those types...
You can do alot worse with your number 3 pick and I think Choco can help him in the areas of his game he is deficient.... I don't think Richmond are looking at him by accident...maybe you are getting one back for Shultz and DRod

Look no further than Big Ivan to see what impact those qualities can have on a team.

If the club sees something in him and he is as you described, then I am believer :thumbsu:

He would be targeted to play a specific role I would guess. It seems to me we are identifying players for cheap, that may have weaknesses but with a simplified role can blosssom. I back the club on this one.

Your kidding it's not my call? Here I was thinking I was the head list manager...why didn't anyone tell me earlier.

You left a bit out...

Heart and soul contested ball winner who averaged 14 touches a game this year, was dropped multiple sides by a horrible bottom 4 side and the best part is when he does get it he absolutely butchers it and gives it back to the opposition.

Makes Dan Jackson look like Brett Deledio...

Surely we can't bring in all of Thomas, Knights and Chaplin. Especially if we're looking to retain McGuane on the senior list... Would leave us with just 2 picks in the national draft (not factoring in players being traded out).

If we do, there is a serious chance our coach will quickly be known as "Crazy Dimma"! :eek:

Thomas would require a trade. He's 25 I think, so not a free agent.

Who else is there to still be cut do you think Amcre?
I think Matt White would be feeling a tad nervous. For the record I would prefer to keep him than bring in Thomas. It does look a tad thin now though on who to cut which is good. Could always send Arnot packing and probably rookie him. Not saying this is ideal but if they really needed to.

Posty is rumoured to be out though so who knows...
