McEvoy

[_Me_]

make him an offer

he has been dropped twice, and would be hurting

he could fill a void

move on blake and west, and bring in a decent ruckman
then have simpson in as well

could be a boon for the cats

Maybe I am going crazy but does anyone else think the OP is talking a lot sense lately?

Very good call and we should definitely go for him.

He would be still better off staying at the Saints with Gardiner and King retiring this year.

We would be better of going for Nathan Brown. Having said that it is probably Presti's last year as well.

St Kilda would be extremely stupid to go in with one ruckman. He will surely be a late change back in. Their game style is to lock the game down with many stoppages. Kosi back in the ruck, I don't think so.

Kosi couldn't do any worse there than at FF.

That being said I imagine he will come in and Baker will go out.

apologies for going off topic (rather than start a new topic on every player who wants out) but on fox teams they said tonight that josh hill has asked to be traded from the doggies, is he someone that would suit the gfc?

Where would we play him?

He has played mostly as a forward for the Bulldogs and at the moment we have an abundance of small to medium forwards coming through

Well the general consensous on this board is that byrnes and stoke should be traded immediately, (one to which i dont subscribe to) so who would you rather in the team?

 

[Reincarnation]

Jesus christ if he left we would be up shizen creek.

Surely there would be a late change otherwise (long shot here) why would Ross Lyon even allow Big Mac to chat with the media yesterday about his GF experience?

I agree. But who would he replace?

 

[LifeSpan-Void]

I would say that there's no way the saints would let a top 10 draft pick go so cheaply, but they let Luke Ball waltz into collingwood so who knows. Doubtful that we'd be able to do a swap with Blake since King is going to be an assistant to Lyon next year.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I like this idea of getting McEvoy...as I've said, the only playwer we should look at trading for is an up and coming young ruckman, and it's the reverse of 07. Anyone know if he's out of contract?

 

[Pure_Ownage]

We would be better of going for Nathan Brown. Having said that it is probably Presti's last year as well.

If the rumours about Tarrant going back to the Pies are true, one would say Brown may look for a new home.

 

[Hybrid7]

Brown would still be under a contract being so young wouldnt he?

Same draft as Selwood so no, not necessarily

 

[Premiers2007]

What about David Hale? Apparently he is on the trade table.

A proven goal kicking ruckman kicking 17 Goals from 12 games this year, and averages a goal a game over his career. (119 goals from 129 games). Still only 26 years old and could fill a void if both Blake and West ask to leave.

David Hale is a shit truck of an AFL footballer.

DO NOT WANT!!!!

 

[Hybrid7]

Mmm, but then what were your opinions when Otto came to the cats?

Might be an option of a rotating ruck/forward if Otto and Mooney retires. Personally I dont like him, but he may add something to the team - he is a lot more moblie down forward than Ottens is, and can actually kick straight.

Ottens, Mooney retire, West & Hale ruck with jPod & Hawkins down forward and west/hale can rotate in and out of the forward line.

And with his receeding hair line, he could be Geelongs next bald player

Was more than happy to get Otto. He'd been an AA player who'd had some bad luck with injury (and let's face it, that hasn't entirely changed since we've had him)

Hale has had one outstanding game, the day he kicked 8 against us at KP.

He hasn't come remotely close to matching that, before or since.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I don't really think Hale is the type of ruckman I'd want, and in any case I'd say he's going back home to GC if North can get a suitable deal done.

 

[Viva La Cats]

I don't think the Hale idea is a good one. He is an average player and I'd prefer to put games into either Simpson or West to figure out if they can cut it or not.

Plus I highly doubt there would be any room under the salary cap. If Ablett stays then there's no way and even if he goes there a few player (Selwood for sure) who have "Ablett" clauses. Which means if he goes then they get a pay rise.

 

[STC]

Yes we should move on him if he doesn't play, but like it's been said, I doubt he will leave with Gardiner retiring and King gone.

 

[Hybrid7]

Yeah but then after tomorrow would he rather play for a club with a culture of success or a club of nearly there's?

Lets face it, if the saints dont win tomorrow, their window is pretty much shut.
Sure they have a few younger guys, but how many stellar seasons does Riewoldt and co have in them?

If he really wanted a premiership, Geelong would be a fantastic option, Ablett or not, cause our core of champions are under 26 and with the injection of new blood we still have a good chance of contesting the next few years.

Not only that, but he would be in the position of mentoring up and coming ruckmen instantly giving him a senior role at the club and possibly straight in to a very illustrious leadership group.
It would be a pretty good move from a bloke in his position.

Menzel, Motlop, Christensen, Duncan would all be better options for us going forward

 

[Turbo911]

Personally I think we have greater issue down back rather than in the ruck.
As for ruckman, why would we go after a young bloke when we have to get games into Simpson & Vardy.
I'd like us to pick up a big body KPD before a ruck.

I more than likely will get shot down here but any thoughts on getting a Dean Cox?
Otto has 1 year left
Blake can be traded, but who will take him?
West will go as he will never get a real chance a Geelong.

Cox to help for 2 years then make way for Simpson & Vardy.
