Roos says"No Big Names"

[Industrial Fan]

Jason Roe may be another target.

Possibly Adem Yze from retirement?

[Lohengrin]

Now that's a forward line to drool over!
Mind you, the way we feed a forward line, they wouldn't kick any more goals than this years combos.

Haha - exactly what I thought!

[BSA5]

I thought Roos denied the Lake offer?

Things are starting very early...

He said he doubted Lake would go anywhere, and indicated that it was mostly just media speculation. I don't think he ever denied we'd look at him if he was on offer, he just doubted he'd be on offer. If he has since ruled it out though, I'm willing to stand corrected.

Make a play with what?

I dont know, some sort of deal, they have to dont they? Someone must of heard the 5 year $2.5 million offer that has been bandied about from somewhere! Through the PSD as an uncontracted player would be ideal hopefully with a huge price tag so no other club below on the ladder could afford Lake

If you would like the club to go about building the list like that, then go ahead.

But that would leave us with zero credibility in the football world and ruin all the hard work we have put in over the last 10 years to build a club that is respected.

If we want Lake and he wants to come then trade for him like everyone else, but it will take our first pick or the likes of Goodes in a combo to do it and the club is not willing to do either.

Goodes in a combo for Lake? Are they chucking in Higgins, too?

[Armchair Coach]

Y'know. I just can't see the club EVER letting Goodes go. Even if Jesus was a Norm Smith medallist and up for grabs.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

I wouldn't want Goodes to go for anyone, and I mean anyone.

[Wardy]

maybe Roos is looking towards other sports again to get players. Jesse White was from basketball (or was it volleyball ?) and so far that experiment is doing pretty well - the jury is still out on the Rugby player Mike Pyke - perhaps he is looking towards Handball players next (now that game is quick, and has a ball in it?).

All the more reason to get him in the PSD! We would never get a trade done otherwise.

Maybe Roos should think outside the square and hire some Hells Angels to roam the forward line. Rest assured they would take a lot of "uncontested marks" up there.

The choppers would mess up the turf too much.

That's just silly, Jesus is over 2,000 years old, and whilst he has been known to work miracles, his recent form has been pretty quiet. Also, I think we're done with the International experiment thing, after Murphy and Coney's efforts.

I reckon he'll surprise you. Still gets plenty of the ball and is a fan favourite. And his age just goes in his favour as an experienced player. As long as the Umpires don't try to crucify him ala Barry Hall.
