According to the HS, we're looking at Cameroon Wood. While Brisbane have a surplus of ruckmen (Jamie Charman, Matthew Leuenberger, Beau McDonald, Mitch Clark), he wouldn't come cheap and would cost us at least our 1st round pick.
In the same article, they said that Jolly looking to return to Melbourne. Maybe a three-way trade could take place?

recruiting wood makes sense, spida has another yr left, the donk will be gone seasons end and jolly can forget abt going anywhere.
so jolly and wood in 08 and if jolly does go he is worth a 1st round pick plus, definitely in top 5 ruckman in comp ( cox, lade, ottens , white ) and there are not many good ruckman around
so in short jolly staysComment

I would like to see some genuine pace in the midfield. D'OK sounds like he has great disposal and the old chestnut "good mark for his size" but doesn't sound overly quick.
Some KPP size players would be good too. I still reckon Grundy might develop into someone useful.
Vogels appears to be a "depth player" on our list. Either we give him a genuine crack or trade him to someone who lacks size.(bulldogs) Is Malcolm Lynch quick? He's from NSW....I wish my weed was EMO so it would cut itselfComment

He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)Comment

Jolly would be a big loss. BUT, on the other hand a "big loss" would ultimately bring about a potential "big gain" or win/win for both clubs.
Perhaps Fevola and Thornton (even though he's dropped off a bit this year) for Jolly and pick 3?
By the way for all those who care the mention of Maurice Rioli reminds me that he was nearly a Swan except that we couldn't fit him into the salary cap of the time.Comment

Sounds good to me. We might look at the lists of those clubs low in the ruckman stocks (Carlton, Saints, Bulldogs) and see who we like.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)Comment

I am confused. We don't have pick 3 to trade away. And the only way we could get it would be to trade away Goodes, O'Keefe or Malceski (the only players on our list who I think could conceivably be exchanged for such a pick, taking age into account).Comment

We wouldn't get even Fevola alone for our 3rd round pick and Jolly- not along with Thornton thrown in as well. Carlton refused to trade him last year for a highish second round pick and I don't think that much would have changed for them this year.
Not that I think Thornton is someone that would make much of a difference to us anyway. He looks like a decent 3rd tall but not really strong enough to hold down a key back post (even though he's been forced to at Carlton).Comment

Remember always start high and settle for an outcome that you would have originally been satisfied with, such as I believe Hawthorn did when dealing with the Swans for Everitt.Comment
