Special K ring any bells? Date rape drug?

28 years of age, always heavily tagged, doe not break games open anymore..kerr would lift our midfield..and is 3 years younger than ROK.

ROK completely and utterly controlled the last half of the Carlton game and probably got us into the finals on that effort.

I am pretty sure they both want to come to Melbourne anyways. I think these blokes are the opposite of guys like Plugger. They love the limelight too much and I don't think they could handle the 'anonymity' that Sydney would give them. Besides, we don't want them...

Kerr and Cousins would be great. Imagine them in a midfield with Kirk, Bolton and McVeigh. Almost the perfect balance of flair and hard nuts.
We wouldnt need a forward line. WC didnt in 05/06.

We've got Davis, and our first round pick to give up for Kerr.

We could easily ditch players like Ablett if Kerr came. Ablett, just by name he'd have currency in Melbourne (especially if Geelong have some list room).

And with a number of our senior leadership group retiring these two rats would provide a wonderful leadership and ambience around the club for our young players. Why not just billet the young 'uns at Silverwater Remand?

We've discussed Cousins and/or Kerr as part of a trade before, but this is the first time a serious journalist like Patrick Smith has mentioned the possibility of them both coming to Sydney. I wonder who he's been talking to.

Here's Patrick Smith again in today's Australian. This time he's more explicit about where Kerr will end up - "if Collingwood gets him it will be only if it can beat off Sydney". Who has Patrick been talking to?

IMO the obvious trade for Kerr would be BBBH, they need a forward badly.
Our forward line scores more freely with out him.
Can't say it aint been lovely....but it's time to go big fella.

I can picture a massive drop in Eagles memberships if Hall was traded to West Choke. He's more hated than Jeff Farmer.

While they had Cousins and Kerr and Judd a top quality forward was what they needed. But right now they've got a lot of very promising midfielders but you can't see them getting close to challenging the Dawks or Cats for the next couple of years, especially after the likes of Embley and Hansen have showed themselves to be just good ordinary footballers when not surrounded by star quality. Hall has one, maybe two good years of footy left in him if he wants them. But it's hard to see him being around long enough to take the Eagles to their next premiership.

Plus without a key forward, Kerr won't be enough to elevate the Swans to challengers either. And I'd much rather spend the next two years of mid-table rebuilding watching Hall strut his stuff than Kerr.

And Kerr is a ticking time bomb off the field. Very loudly.

Watch the Brisbane game again. He created so many scoring opportunities by just being there and bringing the ball to the ground. He had a pretty ordinary game individually but I think you're underselling his contribution to the team.

He was super important in getting us over the line against Fremantle and he was our best player in the losses to Geelong and Collingwood.

Absolutely - and not just the Brisbane game, although that's an excellent example. He does it week after week. He has a massive presence.

[Mr Magoo]

Both would have been pretty handy two years ago

But dont see the benefit of them now if you have to give up decent draft picks.

A big
N.O.
to both.
