| Post subject: Bold trade table move needed.. |  |
|
Yeah today hurt, but i think it also made me think..last.few Premeirs (i am making the not so massive leap that Richmond will make a small mess of GWS next week). Edit: even if GWS win, Cameron and Finlayson and Patton are all great forwards.
But we really lack a good key forward and i am not sure Mason Cox is the answer, he is a 1st ruck and back up forward.
We need a key forward and midfield leg speed, we are too one paced in there.
I dont have the answers, but it cost us two years running...and i think we need to sell someone of value to get someone of value.

Well Patton is moving to Melbourne, I think Hawthorn have him locked up, but we were mentioned last week as an option
But the only time we've ever actually managed to get what we needed at the trade table, we won the flag in 2010. Rest of the time, its just a week or 2 or a month or whatever ridiculous length the trade period now goes for, of disappointment. |

Trade Grundy now. No point having the best ruckman if your useless mids can’t capitalise anyway. Get a mediocre ruckman and use the currency to find a gettable decent fwd it two.

But will his kness hold up though? do we want another KPP on the LTI list?

| We'll get something when Grundy goes back to Adelaide. He might stay on next year, but after that it'll be goodbye. |

It could be an option. Can Mason be the number one ruck? With Roughhead as back up?
Is Pattonup to it? I mean no point selling "gold" to bring in questionable players.

We decided Stevie Johnsons ankle wouldn't hold up and look how that turned out!!!
It would be a simple question of take a gamble or have no one at all? |

If the Hawks are interested, he's good to go.
They don't pick players who are LTI. |

What a great idea. Bring in a good key forward to replace Grundy and have him freeze his arse off all winter because we win even less clearances.
I would rather we keep our existing list intact and spend money on our injury management and go again with what we already have. |

Grundy stays. You don’t give up that asset for anything.
We dont need a bold move, but I would like to see some younger blood in the middle. Some real pace would be nice too.
If we really want to make a killer move it’s Jeremy Cameron as a free agent.
But he’s not out until next year.
But I’m bullish about our team. We are a fit and firing DeGoey, a rejuvenated Beams, an improving Moore and continued consistency from Sidey, Pendleton, Howe and Crisp away from the premiership next year

If Hawks are after him, he's not cooked at all. |
