You wouldnt want to pay someone big $$$ to have them sit in the twos barring injury though leysy wouldnt have thought.
Chaplin, Grimes, Astbury, Griffiths, Darrou with Dea, Moore and Batchelor able to play above their height if needed.tigs2010 said:
The point is KPD is perhaps the one area we can afford to lose a good player. I'd only do the trade if we got Chaplin.
My gut-feel is that, when all is said and done, we have little to trade to other clubs, besides draft picks, to gain a marquee player, forward or midfielder.
Even a first round draft pick would not be enough, if we so dared.

Yep it's a risk certainly, it would all depend on what we could get for him, and what we could get to cover his loss. Hypothetically I think Jack Steven, Sam Blease with Troy Chaplin would be worth the risk. Fair enough if you do not.tigs2010 said:

Mostly agree Phantom, but the go home factor is still an issue, especially for Suns players. If a player like Caddy wanted to come home it would be a matter of the best offer from a Melbourne club of his choosing getting the deal done. Obviously he was keen to become a Bomber, but with them unlikely to have a leftover high draft pick, we could probably trump their offer with our first round. Is he worth a top 10 draft pick?

He cant get a game at melbourne because their coach is hitler and he also has no clue how to coach.
Moloney is a very good player who has had enough at melbourne. His heart is not in it any more.goose said:
He is probably too old for us at 29 but he is definitely good enough to slot into our midfield.
Not sure who fits the bill ,Pearce ? :-\ but apart from a few things we need , i reckon we could do with some outside class,silk,run
Mitch Hallahan from Hawthorn?
Inside mid, decent size/weight, 184cm and 81kg. Hasn't come on at Hawthorn yet but was pick 38 in 2010 and I remember him being rated fairly highly.

Get Sam Blease from Melbourne. He's 21, quick and skillful and could work in with our midfield.
Good to see more people getting on the Jesse White train.
Big Jesse kicked 6 on the weekend playing 2nd Ruck/Forward behind Seaby after his 10th week as an emergency.
Yes, the NEAFL is a crap competition but IMO he is easily the best mobile big man (with several AFL traits) playing in an AFL clubs system who can't get a game due to depth in the seniors (nit injuries). Would have played most games for almost every other AFL club if he was on their list. Sydney are just stacked with talls and KPP's.
Imagine we had a guy like him on the weekend to go to Petrie instead of McGuane. He is no world beater but he fills a need we desperately have.
Tall, Massive, Gorilla who is mobile and can play backup Ruck as well as play as forward monster to help Jack or as a defensive monster in those few occasions like yesterday where the opposition have a unique 200cm KPP.
If Maric goes down next year, Vickery goes into Ruck and Jesse plays deep or if TY's shoulder is not up to it Jesse plays Ruck himself. Great ready made coverage for Maric and Ty that will cost very little, maybe only a pick around 40 or a trade one of our younger HBF who we have a few of and Sydney may be looking to get because of the aging Malceski, Shaw, Mattner etc.
