Recruiting Targets Summary

[El_Scorcho]

Too old, dodgy hammies, 2/10 would not bang

Too old, i'll take the next random person to walk in off the street thanks just on the off chance that they could be hotter 5 years from now.

 

[LK Metro]

fair enough. Good team environment at Bomber land then.

If he's like that make he wouldn't be a good fit here?

He'd definitely fit in but its just dependent on whether its worth it, and whilst he played 20 games this year, there are no guarantees he would match that this year. 19 touches and a goal a game isnt ground breaking and I'd hope Moore could get to something around that next year.

Uh oh - looks like we need an Emergency Podcast - Chappy Due Diligence...

Just wanted to take this opportunity, although OT, to thank you guys for filling in a load of time at work with your "absolutely" awesome podcasts each week.
Love your work.

Chappy was never going to leave. Another media beat up aimed at degrading and belittling Essendon

Hird is the main offender there, not the media.

Yeah, I don't think anyone here thought he would actually leave.

Like!

I would think someone over 800 years old would have more sense.

Random? You mean the next 18 year old hottie selected from rigorous talent competitions just on the off chance that they could be reasonably hot for 8+ years rather than bet on an "ageing supermodel" having one last miracle year?

Anyway. Enough about Chapman already. How do we recruit Jessica Alba to Port Adelaide? She's clearly got more than one good year ahead of her. So can we get back on topic please

No need to aim ...

I know this will probably be an unpopular opinion, but Kane Lucas would be a great cheap pickup IMO. Shows just as much as our young mids (we need more depth in the midfield clearly) and could prove to be a Boak-like pick up if we get Travis to mentor him closely. Similar type players IMO.

Not me.

I'd ruck her

boom-boom!

 

[Willsy10]

I never want to see Jessica Alba compared to Paul chapman again

He'd be like the love child of Nathan Lonie and Massive Fairy era Troy Chaplin

 

[It Just Is]

Kane Lucas' foot skills under pressure are akin to your average under 12. He's also yet to win a hard ball in 5 years on an AFL list.

Skinny 18 year old at pick #100 > Kane Lucas.

 

[Powerade 08]

could prove to be a Boak-like pick up if we get Travis to mentor him closely. Similar type players IMO.

The only comparison you can make and only justification for recruiting him would be that he kinda looks like Pavlich and Pav is a handy player.

 

[manureid]

I reckon my 8 year old son would knock Lucas off the ball.

You serious? Lucas is a spud mate.

Dammit, distracted again

He'll go well for Perth, mate.

Sam Grimley delisted and will be redrafted by the hawks.... as a rookie... get in first!

 

[RossFC]

GET HIM!!!!

 

[elsler]

so can he be picked up as a DFA at any time

 

[wilbur_15]

I vote yes too but this part from the article suggests we're not interested:

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-11-12/hawks-cut-big-man

"Grimley requested a move to another club during the recent trade period but nothing eventuated."

Surely if we wanted him we could've got him for a nothing pick.
