The re-draft a reject thread

[tasmanlvr]

Rick Ladson if available in the rookie draft. (I can't see him making it this far.)

I'm all for bringing in quality people from quality clubs. We attempted it this year with Robbie Campbell. He was a fringe player in a side that missed the GF by a whisker, and would bring leadership and a hard edge to our club. Al Clarkson was known to value his work ethic.

I'd be happy to take him. Time to play some hard ball.

 

[DeeWong6996]

Players that I'm mildly interested in:


Casey Sibosado
Pro: Talented 3rd tall, can play at either end
Con: We already have plenty 3rd talls...

Jason Davenport
Pro: Midfielder who can play inside or out, loves a goal
Con: Turning 27 next year!

Rick Ladson
Pro: Good kick, loves a contest and has finals experience.
Con: Have to beat GWS

Ben Nason
Pro: Quick, evasive and great goal sense. Could satisfy our small forward need.
Con: Wants to return home to SA

Travis Tuck
Pro: In and under midfielder who would help Moloney out dearly at the stoppages.
Con: "Could" follow Fevola's footsteps

Nick Heyne
Pro: Brave midfielder with good footskills.
Con: Bit slow.

Justin Bollenhagen
Pro: Quick, good left-foot kick. Can play anywhere on the ground.
Con: Apparently has some attitude issues, endurance.

Brendan Fevola
Pro: Could kick 50+ goals and win clutch games.
Con: Age, gambling addiction, alcohol abuse, fitness issues.... the list goes on.


I'm open to opinions, just don't troll me

Good post, Tuck looks like the best bet if we are avoiding being Feved.

 

[master bate]

Would look at Bollenhagen, Tuck and Heyne. The rest I'm not interested in.

 

[Deestroy]

From your list I think Davenport, Sibosado & Nason are no good.

Would have considered Fev on the rookie list before we got Clark.

Would take a punt on Tuck and/or Ladson in that order.

Don't know enough about the rest to comment.

brad dick? i know he was highly rated at collingwood for a few years but obv lost his spot to jarryd blair. we do badly need a small forward after wona was delisted, thoughts? might be worth a rookie spot

 

[pjfairbairn]

Injuries have cruelled him too much... Farren Ray for a year or two while we develop our midfielders?

 

[AllenJakovich13]

Dicks body isnt up to AFL imo will probs go back to WA.

Farren Ray would be good imo but looks like he may stay at the Saints

 

[Demon 86]

Farren Ray has been discussed here already and would be an excellent addition- but with Dawson leaving the Saints there'll now be enough cash to keep him so I'd be staggered if he were available.

Paul Medhurst?












Yeah I'm bored...

Paul Medhurst?












Yeah I'm bored...

If he was a traditional style small forward......maybe. But not as an undersized marking forward.

But hey, everyone laughed at Hawthorn when they recruited a 130KG Stewart Dew

Thought about it, but reckon he'd be Shannon Motlop mk.2

MELBOURNE has invited Tom Couch, the son of 1989 Brownlow Medallist Paul Couch, to train with the club.

Couch, who played with Collingwood’s VFL team in 2011, is the only additional player outside of Melbourne’s list to be training at the club.

Who knows much about him? Tough, inside mid is all I've heard/found...

Looked pretty handy the couple of times i saw him (on ABC), but didn't see any special tricks that would indicate he could make it at AFL level. But then again i'm no Phil Scully!

How many big macs out of 10 on the Phil Scully rating system does he get?

For best and accurate results use salad instead, all the Big Macs will be gone before you know it and he'll be made to look hopeless.

If Tom is half of what his dad was I'll be happy.

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

Last 3 posts = gold!

Would like to see how every reject mentioned rates on the Phil Scully scale.

If this is a reference to the Scully's, I'd be happy if Tom is half of what his dad is. That would make him an overweight fat ****, whereas his dad is an obese c#nt.

Wasn't a reference to the Scully's.

Coach?
Looks pretty comfortable with himself. Maybe even a bit soft. Wonder what'd happen if he was tagged, and someone really sat on him.

 

[DJ DEMONS]

If I had it my way i wouldve invite Travis Tuck to train with us. Couch is tiny at 177cm 78kg.I think we have enough small underweight players. He's a good runner and not a bad kick but not that tough inside midfielder that we need. Tuck on the other hand is i think 188cm 90kg strong inside midfielder that we need.
Then again im not Mark Neeld. He probably saw something in Couch during his days at the Pies.

4 and a 1/4
