I don't see him as a CHB type, but rather a forward if he's not played in the ruck. Not sure how well he would improve our list if he came, so probably a no from me.
Back up ruckman. He is good when he plays as a follower, but its more about him getting fit. Also strikes me as a "dumb" footballer.

I get that Rossoneri, but if we've got Hille and Laycock... and Ryder? Do we need a fourth ruckman?

Or is Ryder going to be used exclusively as a defender now? Personally I think he's got beautiful skills as a ruckman and should be used in there.

"Apparently" according to big footy, Matthew Moody is not happy at the Lions.

Bradley for Judd.

Judd's not getting any better, has dicky shoulders and will need surgery on his groin come the end of this season. He's got a big nose and a receding hairline, too. Bradley has substantial upside and they desperately need key position players.

That deal should at least be tabled.

Obviously not on its own, though St. Kilda have proven to be very stupid. But the idea is to trade Hille and someone/something else and get Kositzcke.

Personally, I said in another thread that i may have jumped the gun. I dont think we will do a lot of trading this year, not that deep of a draft and give them one year under a new coach.

Bulldogs would be keen on Koshitski, not us.

Cross Koschitzke and Sam Fisher off the list.

Koschitzke signed a 3-year deal today and Fisher extended his deal by a further 2 years.

What about Jarrad McVeigh? Sydney Swans supporters are fed up with him, yet he played every game this year. They suggest he should be traded. They are critical of his negative game, but that could be a symptom of the style and game plan they employ. He is definitely the less talented of the two brothers, but playing along side Spike could inspire him....

I would love the club to go after Jarrad, especially now that sydney seem to be going backwards. Would we give up a player, a pick or wait till the psd?

All players on the list were born in 1982-1987.

Keep discussion and giving me names to delete.

Interesting to see which teams have more names on the list.

Sydney have a stack of untried youngsters.

Simple reason for that is because their feeder comp is of a woeful standard, killing the development of their kids.

I dunno - I reckon beating 2nd rate Canberra sides by 250 points each week does have its benefits! ;)

The funny thing is - they reckon it would be worse if they played in the Sydney AFL!

Hmm... what happened to my posts about specific players to delete from the list?

Something strange going on on this board at the moment. Various threads seem to have reverted back a page or two.

You can delete Martin Mattner from Adelaide. Traded to Sydney.

Tim Callan (Geelong) ? ... Supposedly going to the Dogs.

Ken McGregor. Wouldn't want him.

Jamie Charman.
Daniel Merrett

Eddie Betts

Josh Fraser

Mark Coughlan (injuries) ?

Lewis Roberts-Thompson


Most of them are relatively self explanatory. I could have pulled out a bunch of other names but chose to stick to just a handful for now.
