There are a few players who seem out of favour at their particular clubs and maybe we should be looking at them.
First off the rank is Ken McGregor who is 194cm, 93kg and 25YO, McGregor played the first 19 games this season and then was dropped, very good contested mark and could probably fill our void at CHB. Has the ability to also go forward and kick a goal. Adelaide Advertiser quotes that AFC may be looking at trading him.

Chris Bryan had a very good debut year at Carlton but only played 4 games this year, booming left foot kick and quite a good mark. Would make a great back up ruckman or perhaps CHF. 197cm, 100kg and 24 YO.

Brent Staker is a very versatile player and after playing 22 games has been overlooked for the finals. A more than handy type at 196cm, 89kg, 22 YO and quite athletic.

There is also a guy on the rookie list at West Coast by the name of Beau Wilks who is 20 Yo, 194cm, 93kg who was named captain of the WAFL Colts State team in 2004. He is a key position backman but I don't know  a lot more about him, maybe someone in WA does.

Anyway as I said just a few thoughts.
 
Re: Just a few thoughts.

Brent Staker would be good, but can get a bit ahead of himself at times.
Beau Wilks has got plenty of potential, but in the shadow of Glass and Hunter. Would be a great pick up IMO.
 
Re: Just a few thoughts.

We should go for brent staker. i know he isnt a backman but he could be good in the backline and would stay with his man on the lead. he needs to bulk up a little bit though for any chance.
 
Re: Just a few thoughts.

Would have to give up a 1st rd pick for him and we all know how well the last kkp we got fro WC went.
 
Re: Just a few thoughts.

Not suggesting that Staker is a KPP but could play a role similar to Embley or Ryan O'Keefe, as far as a 1st round draft pick I don't think so as he is not in West Coast's finals team atm.
McGregor is the one I feel could help us at CHB and would like to know more about Wilks.

Don't rate Staker at all.
If fact I think the Weagles have finally woken up to him for the betterment of their side.
Any forward who can't succceed with the midfield at WC, sure isn't going to thrive at Tigerland.

Pass.

;D :clap :clap :clap

Very similar player to Jay Schulz in my mind. Staker a year older and inch taller perhaps, both debuted in 2003, both probably better as backmen at the present stage based on contributions so far. Who would you have?
 
Re: Just a few thoughts.

Staker played all of his junior footy as a Backman!
 
Re: Just a few thoughts.

Chris Bryan IS 24yo and hasn't clicked yet.

I wouldn't waste my time on him.

McGregor, Staker, and possibly Wilks would all be worth looking at, at the right price.

Schulz by a street and I reckon' he'd be a star if he was being fed that champagne delivery in an open WC forward line.

Totally agree. Has done very little all year and like you say with a midfield delivering the ball into the fwd line like the eagles do, there is no reason he shouldnt do well.
 
Re: Just a few thoughts.

wilks, staker and mcgregor r definitely worth a look

pass on chris bryan though, 2nd rate. not worth the time
