If we could get any player i would chose dangerfyfe he is a gun

 

[hatescaptcha]

I think if we simply went the best player then I'd agree, but considering we have drafted/traded multiple tall forwards and with the pending holes in our defense I reckon Lever, May, Pearce or Haynes would be the way to go.

Definitely get what you're saying however there's more chance of our recent draftees developing into gun defenders then into a superstar CHF which I believe Wright has the potential to be.

English should play 60% in the ruck in the future at the very least and then Boyd/Wright can split the remaining 40%. And we won't lose much up forward in the mean time.

We would legitimately be unstoppable.

If we could only grab one who should we trade for next year out of Wright, May, Pearce, Haynes, Lever or Riewoldt?

Salary cap will be tight though with the pay rises to retain all our dual premiership players.

May, minutely ahead of Lever.
May is probably in the top 3 for tall defenders in the competition, would be a superstar if he played for a Victorian club.
Lever is a rolled gold CHB.

 

[jdz101]

Is he from Romsey, out of the Calder Cannons football factory??????

He's from inside the Centah square! Inside the centah!

 

[54 to 16]

May will soon be named co-captain of the Suns. I would love to recruit him but don't think it is going to happen anytime soon.

Lever come on down

 

[ringa5]

Brad Lynch is the only one on our list with indigenous heritage.

Yeh thanks St kilda.Why can't they be jealous of GWS.???????

Haynes

[CaptainMurphy]

That would be amazing, but I thought the Hawks had access to him?

 

[compact72]

Injuries? Nothing we can't handle

 

[VitalDread]

he is but hasn't signed with them yet, still open to be selected by other teams.

 

[Northernsoul74]

Didn't someone mention overhearing Dalrymple talking about another player coming in? I wonder if this is who he was referring to.

Any idea when we'd be likely to find out?

 

[threenewpadlocks]

Haynes loves GWS, GWS loves Haynes and he's locked up to a pong term contract. He's a jet but why is his name always round this parts?

Jasper Pittard is one of the best runners out of defence and we need half backs in the post Moyd/Murph era. Underrated, a free agent and a realistic target if Port have a third consecutive year out of finals and Pittard goes chasing success.

 

[Super Hans]

Motlop would still be our target I imagine if we're talking FA's.

I would love him. Imagine the melts if Port lost him. Is a Vic boy as well.

The fact that they passed on Luke Ryan on our first three picks in
the draft who is better by foot than Jasper Pittard suggests this
is not a huge priority for the recruiters and yes i expected Luke
Ryan's name to be read out at Pick 49 and am disappointed it was
not.

King Harold said yesterday.

Probs over the weekend when paperwork is all done if we go ahead with it

Man, nothing harder to break than a pong term contract.

It can be fairly crappy to break one.

Would have to come dirt cheap imo.
Stringer needs to be re-signed next year.

He's signed up until end of 2018, not the be all and end all if he doesn't.

Pretty sure its end of 2017 hence why I said it

 

[Pugz89]

Nope. He and Macrae signed three year deal in April last year.

I like pittard and would happily take him, but half backs are hardly a need for us. We've just won a premiership in a pseudo-post Murphy era. The only new loss we really have to cover is moyd, but I'm pretty confident we can do that between Williams, suckling, Roarke, lynch, Webb and prudden.
