Troy Chaplin - Should we go after him?

[Ben the Gooner]

Correct. Port won't go out of their way to re-sign Chaplin though so both are effectively unrestricted.

DO NOT WANT

Chaplin restricted, Rivers unrestricted I think.

Rivers unrestricted and part of the 10 or so Melb players that have been told contract talks are off till end of season. Hard to show loyalty to a club when they dangling you out for all to see.

Melbourne are crap, throw a bit at them for Gysberts, for the sake of this kids career, get him out of that club.

You'd be wasting your time. We've been into him for a long time and while he'd be very handy for you, and an upgrade on Hooker, he'll be wearing the yellow sash next year.

3, as per Grigg, Ivan, Houli. He'll be very helpful to our structures - will release Grimes to play the loose Fletcher/ Scarlett role.
And, he's free to acquire. Good stuff by Blair Hartley

Amusing that everyone says no to a KPP backman as we need mids.

Thats true but what are we going to give up to get one? Dyson? NLM? Slattery?

The one area we have serious currency in is our KPP stocks. But we get rid of one we need to of course replace them. So a free agent like Chaplin or Rivers is perfect.
