Very good player, I don't think we could pay the asking price though. He is testing the market, means $$$$ plus

Yep not worth paying very much for - we have a good young midfield group with Tom Mitchell waiting in the wings - would rather spend the money on a forward....

I agree, a forward is the priority. If I could have my pick of players to recruit it would be Tippett hands down, only because Cloke is a wanker and we wouldn't pay what he'd ask anyway. Unfortunately I doubt much we'd have a chance of getting either.

Re: Brent Maloney

Oh Al Goddard, really???
He is one of my most hated AFL players, talk about the king of pea hearts - that's an insult to peas!!!!

He's still a terrific player and if there's one club that can give him a heart, we would be it. St Kilda would reduce even Phar Laps heart to the size of a pea so I'd give Goddard a chance.

Tippett is waaaaay overrated. he is also one concussion away from the end of a career, as well. I am still hurting because we took Lamb before Darling.

Yep darling is a gun, there was talk about attitude/trouble before the draft. It is reason he was held off until late

I'm not saying Tippets the ducks nuts, but he's the best forward we have a snowflakes chance of getting, and we need a tall forward IMO. Him and Reid would be a very handy combo. He'd easily be better than any of our tall forwards at present ( Reid given time may be better, but not at present). The concussion thing is a worry though.

Darling had a knee issue.

Hey, we are not the only ones hurting about Darling. The year before draft he was rated a top three pick then a couple of off field incidents and I think injury put everyone off except the Weagles who may have been adding petrol to the Darling has problems fire so they could pick him up as a bargain around pick 28.

Don't hurt too much, Lamb may turn out alright, albeit not a forward that we crave.

[Dirtyburt]

Darling had a knee issue.

Yep and also attitude problem

[DST]

Darling made it very clear with his actions leading up to he draft that he didn't want to play anywhere else but in Perth.

Would have been a wasted pick if we had taken him.

Yep, you certainly got that call right!

[DST]

On the topic of Moloney, the game at present shows that you can't have enough midfielders. Especially those that can kick goals and pay inside and out so on a free transfer he is a bargin and would greatly to our best 25 or so.

It's why he fits in so well at the Weagles.

[Dosser]

I'd always thought weagles players had a lot of substance.
