Tigers chasing Charman

[Rayzorwire]

agree with the first 2 paragraphs.
if kruezer is half as good as most think use the first rounder on him even. its also a must to draft more than one ruckman. in the short term your cloke ackland scenario is correct.its imperative we at least rookie list another ruckman as well. on pattison i still think hes a chf or nothing.
imo first pick, best avail;able. pick 17 ruckman if kruezer is not taken pick 1. or if kruezer is first pick pick 17 should be kpd preferably big bodied with potential to play anywhere down the spine must be able to play fb.. pick 18 should be best available good sized well rounded more inside than outside onballer. pick 34 should be kpp.sooner or later we have to address list needs and start plugging the holes. this scenario should go a long way to help fixing the gaps.

I thought Patto had his best game rucking today clawsy...after the first couple where he got smashed, he really gritted his teeth and was much more competitive than he has been in the past.

Ironically, we've already let about as good as we could get for a makeshift ruckman slip through our fingers - Rix. He'd be very handy to have ATM.

I still think we need to bolster the midfield with top picks more than our KP stocks. If we have three top-20 picks - as seems likely - I'd like to see us spend two of them on big bodied midfielders with a bit of grunt and skill. Spend the other on a ruckman, and keep looking for late blooming KP's like Thursfield late in the draft and rookie draft.

ATM I reckon our biggest hole to plug is still the midfield.

we are in this situation mr miller because of your ineptitude and your non existant list management. people have been calling out for you to look after the kpp and rucks for 5 yrs and you continually ignored them.
what i would like to know is what are you prepared to give away to get charman. and if we got him without giving away the no 1 pick would you gooses in charge then be prepared to take kruezer with our no1 pick or another youngster with pick 17 or 18.
knowing you you will trade pick 1 for charman who by the way turns 26 next yr and then not take a junior ruckman in the draft thinking the jobs done. you only ever think about the here and now miller please piss off out of our club asap.

I posted the below in one of the other threads. Not sure I would go as far as having Miller p1ss off but if he starts throwing around the #1 pick, I would gladly carry him out on my back. Start selecting smartly and stop throwing around cash and draft picks for easy gains.

If we start throwing around the dollars for a quick fix there is nothing surer than my membership not being renewed. I'm sick of of the Tige's going to market paying over the dollars for mediocre players. They're paying average / good players star rates by doing this. All we end up with is overpaid average / good players. And hence, our list is where it is.

Leave it alone and look at developing a list. Get the friggin recruitment department properly organised (which I hope has already occurred) and go out and select the right players. And FFS, select someone who can go in and get the ball. No more boundary riders please. Geez we're missing Coughlan!

we are going to have to go after at least 1 and proberly 2 uncontracted players.
with the way the tpp is set up we have to spend at least 92.5% of our cap.
with gasper going off, brown proberly getting a reduced contract and not many of the young guys as yet worth more money we will have to chase a star or 2 from some where else to make sure we spend the 92.5%.

unless we are going to reward our current list.
