What do we need more? A Full Back or Back up Ruckman?

In a few years time Perrie should still be around & hopefully Rutten & Hentschel will be around the mark. Also, who knows who we will of traded/drafted.

I wouldn't want to have Perrie as our number 1 CHF. Rutten would be OK and Hentschel is more of a FF or a flanker. A bit like Tarrant. Imagine Pavlich!!!!!!

Sadly Stiffy that's aall we can do in respect of Pavlich - imagine!!!

I was talking to a close relative of his during the week and was told that he has no plans to ever come back to Adelaide, not even at the end of his career - as he is genuinely happy where he is.

While he misses his family, he apparently is no longer homesick, so there goes that one!!

He is truely the one that got away.

As much as I am happy with what McGregor has offered during the last 18 months but everytime I see him I think we could have had Pavlich instead of him . I know its unfair but I just cannot help but wonder as to what might have been.

Apparently Schulz from Richmond goes alright.

I remember last year I was watching the Eagles reserves game with a couple of mates. Schulz lined up at CHF and Hentschel was at FF. Those 2 had a field day. Both kicked 5 and they complimented each other so well that you could have been forgiven for thinking that they have played their whole life with each other. If both Hentschel and Schulz fullfill their potential and we manage to get Schulz, we would have a forward line to drool over.

Fair comment too Stiffy. But Richmond are the ones that should give their backsides a swift kick. In 1999 , the year after we (or anyone) could have taken Pavlich, it was known just how good he was likely to be, and Richmond chose to take that skunk Fiora instead of Pavlich with draft pick #3. I could never understand that one at the time and history has proved Richmond's decision to be a real bummer.

I wouldn't swap Mcgregor for Fiora and we took young Kenny at #75 in 1998.

I couldn't believe their choice at the time. Fiora never looks like being a star. Pavlich had star written all over him. He is just a freak. Can play anywhere bar ruck. In a couple of years time he will be best player in the comp and we could have had him.

I'd still take Fiora over Fraser.
