We might have to sue Melbourne FC for not picking Nic Nat, if he pantses Grundy in the elim. final. |

NicNat and Gawn just made the AA team... Gee whizz, where would Gawn be if not at Melbourne? Actually, Nic Nat would have been traded to WA in all honesty.

You obviously read what's posted rather selectively. That's not what I take from reading the thread at all.
Perhaps you might deal with the objective facts. In particular, despite your recollection that he put us to the sword 2 years back, he actually kicked 0.4 in the pertinent game (actually last year at Docklands) and has kicked just 4.9 in 5 career outings against Collingwood. What that you have seen actually makes him a desirable trade acquisition? |
All i recall of that bloody miserable Docklands game was him dominating us, im not sure what he kicked but he sure brought the other North forwards right into the game, they were all over us. Look,he topped the Coleman that year, 60 goals plus, sure he takes a long run up, but if hes on song, hes a long and straight kick, if our bloody centres can extract the digit, and give him some good delivery, and if hes fully fit, who knows what he can do ? Worth a punt in my book.

I also heard today on the grapevine, both the hawks and suns have lost interest in going after Ben, Suns have King they want to develop, and Hawks want to rebuild. So its only us now, according to what i heard, to get Ben, if the price is right, and we can make way for him,with retirements and de listings. So, i guess the ball is now in our court.

Yes, well, as I posted above, he kicked 0.4 “dominating” us. I suppose he’d fit right in with our forwards but I don’t see him improving us. You don’t want blokes who kick big bags against spud teams, you want blokes that have the ability to kick a solid 3 or 4 (goals) against any opposition. |

This.
It's why it was extremely disappointing to miss on Tom Lynch. |

I have no objections if the price is right. Another big body in the forward line while Stewart develops.
Leigh Brown-esque? |

So Grundy has fallen behind Nic Nat and Gawn in the pecking order according to the AA selectors. That's disappointing.

Using the same rationale, I say bring him in if the club thinks they can have a tilt at the flag over the next two years. Also if this happens, we will be able to send off Pendles with a premiership. It might be an amazing turn of events based on this one act of recruitment genius. I say go for it and see what happens. Take a calculated risk. |
If I may put a counter argument. IF we get Brown and it doesn't work...we are for all intents and purposes throwing away the best years of Grundy, Adams, Moore, De Goey and Treloar, Maynard. As we will have to rebuild two years down the track. Although if we do have to do this not all those guys will hang around.
I suspect the club is more of your mindset, as I see we are chasing Gunston.
I think it is a big risk. We have more then key forward issues. I think we need a re-jig in the middle of the ground...and more speed in (what would we give for a Brad Hill type) inthe middle...And as such a younger forward would be a better option to buy time for a mini rebuild if we got it right it would.only take 1 at worst 2 drafts and we could be even more powerful again...in my view.
Anyway, over to Bucks and the club..they are the ones getting paid the big blg dollars. It's thier jobs if it fails.

Do you see Noble playing as a Brad Hill type?

Personally I dont, good honest player he is. He is not a speedster with x-factor that we need.
I get it Bucks doesn't like the jet player that
Also has the odd bad game, but at the same time is capable of turning a match in one act. He want the solid citizen type good trainer dependable.
We lack speed and flare on the middle.

By "dominating" i meant our guys were so worried bout him, guarding him, the other North forwards cut us too shreds, he was a good decoy. Look, if we can get him fairly cheaply, i dont see much risk, providing of course, we re sign De Goey, and Moore, before any of this happens. Get him cheaply, who knows ? And look at Swans, they want Joe Daniher and hes injury prone, but u can bet they will land him, they are like that up there. Should we have had a go at Joe, who knows, but one thing is certain, our forward line is at present ineffective, and needs a real shot in the arm.

^Having JDG back in the team and match fit will be a shot in the arm.
