Replace Otten?

Do we need a replacement for Otten?

Our forward line already too tall and we only need to play one of Harto/Keith.

“Port Adelaide is still undecided on its final offer to out-of-contract wingman Jared Polec, who is destined to become the winner of North Melbourne’s long-running play to make a strategic strike in the AFL trade market.

“The Power understands its current three-year offer to 25-year-old Polec will not quell the temptation of a five-year, $3.5 million offer -- with $1 million in the first season -- from the Kangaroos.

“But Port Adelaide has not made its own call on whether it should counter North Melbourne offer to the speedy midfielder with extra seasons to the current contract offer -- or more money to narrow the $2 million gap with the Kangaroos."

Port are now suffering for stupid decisions like Dixon , Ryder, Watts, Rocky and Motlop. They r all on decent coin bar Watts.
I believe Polec is worth a 1st rounder but has some poor areas. Typical port player, good with ball in hand but really poor defensively.

I don’t think port will have enough money for him

I think we should target:

A running half back with an elite leg

A midfielder who can rack up 30 possessions with his eyes closed

Adding these 2 players will turn us back into contenders.

So get Brouch and Smithers healthy basically

 

[Tex Danger]

Lukosine or Rankosius?

one sounds like a rash/disease and the other the ointment to treat it

If we drafted both of them, I tell you what we would need some ointment!

You can add a ruck to that list as well as a new fitness team

an inordinate carbon rod should do it

 

[Thetrader15]

If you want a tall that comes cheap and can play both ends GWS rookie Zach Sproule is out of contract season's end, worth a serious look especially with our swingman depth Otten likely finishing up. Tall, mobile, great endurance, good overhead and good foot skills, currently playing up forward in the NEAFL and kicking plenty of goals, but played CHB/FB in the TAC Comp for the Murray Bushrangers when I've seen him play and was very impressive in that role. I'd be confident he'd be playing AFL by now for a lot of AFL clubs.
Here's his expanded draft highlights reel from the 2016 Draft Hub at this link if you're interested.

Looks like he has some nice composure too

 

[Thetrader15]

Looks good. Otten retiring does open up a swingman spot as you say and it would be good to take someone like that on the cheap

Retiring? How did I miss this news?

 

[Apsaalooke]

You want an "unusually or disproportionately large or excessive" carbon rod?

A branch?

You didn't..we are just making a big assumption that the club will make some tough calls

Probs the most important tbh.. sauce is done.

If he became a Wingard and cost us 7 & 9, I would think that would be a bad deal

Particularly given the recent slide in performance from Chad

I often wonder is Chads slide because he isn't held accountable?

Maybe?

2013-2015 Chad was an absolute world beater, was on the verge of real stardom.

I’d be very happy getting our hands on that version

2016-2018 particular this year and last, far more pedestrian and I wouldn’t be giving up 2 top 10 picks in what is being called the draft of the decade

 

[Apsaalooke]

Would Sam Day be worth a look? never quite fulfilled his potential at the GC and he can play at both ends of the ground

Please no. He makes Troy Menzel look motivated.

 

[El Doederino]

We've had Sam Mayes and Sam Day.

Just need Tim Broomhead, and

I thought that was the joke
