Nathan Brown?

Awesome! Imagine the possibilities, all those pink t-shirts in his 'fashion' collection finding their way into the Sydney market via booths at the games and at club functions.

We should go after Russel Robertson as well for the other forward pocket. He'd be great too at the functions, as entertainment with his guitar and a few songs.

NBrown would have a few suggestions for Jude and Amon, he might even try designing a few shirts for the new season range.

Only if we are looking to pinch a premiership in the next year or two

Cameron Cloke has had a shocking year with the Maggies. Could Sydney turn him around?

Do you mean Travis for the Maggies? Or Cameron for the Blues? Either way, it makes sense.

[Armchair Coach]

Nathan Brown is a waste of time.

But Cloke (B&W) I could see working VERY well.

Plus the Essendon bloke.

=Grouse X? (formula).

Travis = NO
Cameron = definitely NO.

[Captain]

Travis = NO
Cameron = definitely NO.

Basically anyone called Cloke should be a no. Just saying the name makes me feel dirty.

[BSA5]

Travis = NO
Cameron = definitely NO.

FWIW, I agree (though I wouldn't mind picking up Cameron in the PSD/for a very, very late pick). But they both had shocking years for their respective sides, which was my point.

Dont know who or what to draft or pick, but to be competitive we need at least 4 quality forwards, 5 would be better. Look at Geelong and Adelaide as examples, also look at us from 2003 to 2006....Hall, Davis, O'Loughlin and O'Keefe. Thats whats going to win you games of football. We have White, Goodes looks like he is going to play there, got to find another 2-3. Possibly Johnston and Playfair???

You are right but 3 with fast crumbers is enough......Look at Hawthorn last year with Buddy ,Roughhead and Williams and both grandfinalists have great forward lines.This fact is so assumed that coaches generally can concentrate on defense.I have always argued that you can make a defender but it is very hard to make a forward. I have always thought that Russell Robertson is your classic forward, creative, a potential match winner and great mark. If his name came up in the PSD he would be tempting to put alongside the much younger White. Johnston is an unknown and cannot be relied on in planning just yet,, Playfair uninfured is still is a lousy kick and would get in Goodes and Whites way because he can get to the ball. I think we need one more class forward or a goal kicking midfielder.

[Cardinal]

Brown, Goodes, Johnson, Playfair, White - starting to look like a lot of firepower up front.

[Glenn]

Wouldn't say no to Travis Cloke in the red and white, done ok with Nick Davis and Rhyce Shaw escaping from Victoria Park.

All Magpies father/sons as well!

Also, don't forget Williams and Schauble. We have a very good record with Pies players.
