WHY?

[BUCKS]

Why is everybody obsessed in getting Heath Black?

Why work so hard in trading for Black?

When we need a player like Mark Porter and a tall defender!
(That's what we should trade hard for)

I say to Heath Black "Go to St KILDA and stuff your career up!"

Heath Black is talented and it would be a bonus if we could get him. However, like you said, we do need to go after a ruckman like Porter, and a tall defender.

We can get a ruck and tall defender, it just depend who (ie. Kinnear maybe) but getting Black too would be a bonus. Remember there isn't just Noel and MM working on this, the recruiting department has many arms, er hands, whatever.

I'm sure they're working on getting another ruck /defender etc.

Well said Bucks ,I reckon someone must be related to this bloke here,i mean he aint no superstar, i agree wholeheartly chb, ruckman first, if not then back in black.

[Legga]

Is Heath Black better than Chipper, Rhys, Didak, L.Davis or Scotland?

I think that this kid is no better than some of our existing mid-fielders, so if we can get him on our terms, great-but don't give away quality to get him. If it was Simon Black, give up quality cause Simon Black is a gun, but Heath Black is a kid with talent, but not all that outstanding.

I tend to agree legga. I think c'wood already has a surfeit of midfielders, and it's not as if heath black is a gun player.

a key backman is always nice, but I don't think it is as crucial as a backup ruckman for josh. we have heaps of potential key position defenders in kinnear, cloke and even mckee.

I would love to see c'wood go for a top ruckman, like clark keating, beau mcdonald or greg stafford (or even everitt if he's available). no offence to josh, but c'wood hasn't had a really dominating ruckman since monky.
