[Tambourine]

Who? Wtf...nah welcome Rhys! A handy addition to thw midfield/forward line

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Palmer will at least win the BnF for the Northern Blues if nothing else.

I've wanted to bolster our reserves side. So it's a win for pick #135

I think Palmer was potentially a salary cap dump from GWS so we could get Marchbank and Pickett on the cheap.

 

[Bic]

Free hit for us. #whynot

Welcome, Rhys.

 

[Aphrodite]

Wooohoooo we finally have a NRS!

 

[thylacine60]

Only because Hogan was robbed.

This.

 

[teknodeejay]

It's not the worst pickup. Could be handy. Puts the mozz on someone like Lamb though as it's competition for (in my view) the same spot.

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Welcome Rhys.

Definitely a better footballer than Clive Palmer.

 

[AndyLucimitis]

Rhys 'Missus' Palmer

 

[T2B_]

He's pretty handy, can rotate mid and knows where the goals are when forward.

Don't mind this at all.

Decent bottle of Red that he'll play more than 12 games in the seniors next year?

 

[Omega Blue]

Welcome Rhys. Crippa will enjoy having another big body art the coal face

 

[Anzac16]

Very pleased with this deal. Would have been best 22 all year if SJ didn't come to GWS this year. Very handy half forward come midfielder.

27 so should still have 3-5 years left in him yet.

 

[Faz 2000]

Do a job for a few years, Rhys. Hit some bodies, protect some kids, run around and shank kicks. Make me BELIEVE that you're worth pick 135.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

It would be a bit of a blow to the ego of even a journeyman to be traded for pick 135?

 

[T2B_]

I'm actually a bit surprised, because he's basically free.

He can play, isn't old enough to be worried about, guess they really needed him off their books.

I reckon that's entirely possible so I won't take that bet haha

 

[therubbernub]

Didnt gws play him in their losing final side this year?

 

[Soapy V]

I'm actually a bit surprised, because he's basically free.

not free. i say we are taking over a large contract

 

[T2B_]

not free. i say we are taking over a large contract

Well there is that.

I guess we're in a far more suitable position for it though than GWS with all the squeeze they have.

 

[Styxx]

Free hit, mature body, seems capable of midfield work which adds depth we don't have and appears can kick goals which we need.

Could be another Matty Wright type deal.

 

[RedFury]

Didnt gws play him in their losing final side this year?

Yep, replaced the suspended Stevie J.

Logic would dictate that a half-forward/mid who's borderline best 22 for GWS would certainly make our best 22 in the short-term, wouldn't it?
