yeah I understand he would not be popular at the kennel ,but I just asked the question for exactly that reason. would you forgive him if he may be the difference between a pship and not in 2016
Can I be slightly rude and say if you think our defence needs help, you need to watch again.

It's a good question and I'm sure if we thought he'd be the difference then we'd be mad to say no... but I don't think he is that highly regarded on or off the field any more. Again, if Hawthorn won't offer him a contract you really have to question why. They would still see themselves in contention for a flag for years to come.

Pannal I rate your team , back front midfield extremely highly a sI stated earlier in the year after you belted the pies pre season. When we play you the one hope I have is that cloke gets a hold of your defence because your defence arguable a little undersized. Wasn't having a go or criticizinganyone in the back half , just a question a couple of mates discussed after watching him on ch 7 gameday. I am an unabashed Doggies fan

Nah more likely to target a player like Henderson than go after a dinosaur
I like Lachie Henderson, I've got nothing against Lachie Henderson, but in a grand final, a genuine key forward would make orphans of his children.

He'd cost too much, regardless.

You are very welcome on here mate but we have fairly robust debate at times and some of us have pretty strong views about list management. Don't mind us if our manners are not always all they could be.

Just listened back to Triple M and it's Wayne Schwass who mentioned the Cordy rumour. Said has been offered 400k-450k for a three year deal from a club north of the border. Jay Clark then mentioned the Gold Coast connection with Scott Clayton who originally drafted him and rates him.
You obviously missed the rest of Schwass's comments:

Wasn't having a go, just saying that the team defence adopted by all of Clarkson's disciples means that reliance on one defender is negated. I was huge on Carlisle, but even now I'm not sure we need him. I guess this week will highlight our needs if we get pumped.

I'm still in shock that someone would offer Cordy over $400k a year over 3. I like Ayce. If he was 15cm shorter I think he'd be a handy player. Just doesn't suit his body. Extremely likeable guy from the very limited time I've seen him and chatted. If it is the case, I hope he takes the cash. He'd still be loved here and might get more chances at this other club.

Also helps with our list management decisions. If Ayce moves on, I think Minson would clearly move on which leaves us two ruckmen in Campbell and Roughead.

Who's a depth ruckman we could snare?

Is May really that good Fronk ?
Maybe I'm not watching hard enough , but I have an impression he is a hard nut with questionable skills ?
I see him being the best key defender in the league in the next 18 months King. Amazing athlete. Crazy aggressive. Super speed. Great timing. Killer left foot. He can take on the nimble guys like Buddy, cameron and Roughie, and the monsters like Hawkins as well IMO. BEAST.

That's good enough for me if Fronk gives that recommendation.
You are one bloke that knows what he is talking about.

Gets a bag kicked on him every week. The only positive thing on that point I can say is that, Rance was equally getting bags kicked on him every week at the same age.

But how much of that has to do with the quality and amount of inside 50s the side gives up. May will be a freak. Absolutely killed Kennedy a few weeks ago.

One of the few players I'd give up 2 1st rounders for, probably the only young kpd anyway

That's just the thing he wouldn't be the difference. You've set up an alternate reality where Lake isn't completely cooked and the only hole in our list is a defender.

Did I read someone offered Cordy $400k a year?
They said one of our talls was being offered 400k by one of the northern teams and Cordy was bought up immediately after. I of course think it could be Grant to Brisbane since every seems to think that he's a tall except for Bulldog supporters and they were keen on him a couple of years ago.

I'd prefer to keep Grant of course and I wouldn't mind retaining Cordy if Minson leaves.
