Re: Hurley!!!!!
Would rather a quality mid over another key back
Marchbank would be a good pick up as a third tall to replace Sean D
I would attempt to steal Ahern as well in a package.
We need a number on new young talent because our group of C Grade players are not going to move us into the 8

Re: Hurley!!!!!
Obviously I don't rate this OP as having any substance whatsoever, but with regard to the discussion, I'd much prefer Marchbank.
Will cost about 1/3 of the salary cap space, potentially could snag him with a 2nd rounder if he wants out/nominates us, and will be as good if not better than Hurley in the 2018-20 range when we will be hitting our straps.
Marchbank will be the Dempster/Fisher replacement that will also provide heaps of run, and allow us to throw our big $$'s at a superstar mid that is a more pressing need.
Goddard I feel should be moulded into the ruck/forward option to give Hickey a chop out instead of running Bruce through there, and would allow us to trade Longer and hopefully net something semi valuable in return..
In that, if we could trade Longer for a 2nd, on trade that for Marchbank, and draft a mid this year with our first dp (#4-8) and poach a gun mid next year, 2018 could see a real surge up the ladder.

Re: Hurley!!!!!
no way gws are giving him up for 2 rounder, he was pick 6 and would be playing if not for injury, and we aren't the only club interested. My guess it would be a downgrade of our 1st rounder from our pick to one of their 3 first rounders, maybe with a second rounder thrown in.Sobraz wrote:Obviously I don't rate this OP as having any substance whatsoever, but with regard to the discussion, I'd much prefer Marchbank.

Re: Hurley!!!!!
Haven't we already used up our second pick next season - gave it to Collingwood for Freeman. I may be confused is a 'second rounder' the same as our second pick???Griggsy wrote:no way gws are giving him up for 2 rounder, he was pick 6 and would be playing if not for injury, and we aren't the only club interested.

Trading of players or picks can change that.

Re: Hurley!!!!!
If it is true that he's deciding between us & Richmond, then he's gotta pick us. It the only sensible choice unless he's a nonger and never wants to play finals.

Re: Hurley!!!!!
I wouldn't be trading Longer in a hurry. There may very well be a day, and I think its likely, that we'll go with two ruckman. Hickey & Longer would be a devastating combo.Sobraz wrote:Obviously I don't rate this OP as having any substance whatsoever, but with regard to the discussion, I'd much prefer Marchbank.

Re: Hurley!!!!!
No "dickheads" policies are a myth. Sydney allegedly has the best one in the league, because Hall & O'Loughlin were good boys at the Swans. They also chased Lovett in 2008, because if anyone could reform him, surely it was the Swans?silverhalo wrote:No to Hurley.......he might be a reasonable player but we should have a no dickheads policy.....I can't forget him beating up a cab driver a few years ago. We've obviously been targeting players with good character over the last few years; let's stick to that and land ourselves a gun midfielder instead.....that's what we really need.

Re: Hurley!!!!!
Marchbank sounds like a good fit, on the topic of midfield guns, who could we possibly get? O'Meara must be too much of a risk now, so who else is there that's gettable and are they worth it?
Re: Hurley!!!!!
He has met the club twice this year, that would be us doing our homework and he would of also met with other clubs, however the reports are that the club feels he will remain a Bomber. According to MG at BFBunk_Moreland wrote:What bollocks. Carlisle. Mav. A couple of senior players. All wouldnt have been picked up under your dumb rule.silverhalo wrote:No to Hurley.......he might be a reasonable player but we should have a no dickheads policy.....I can't forget him beating up a cab driver a few years ago.

And as for Hurley being a Saints supporter. Irrelevant. Jack Newnes were all North supporters. So we are going to lose Jack to the Roos.
BTW. Hope we get Hurley. Heard in Feb by other sources we were into him.
Would have to be DFA. Cant lose our first rounder.
Most likely looking to boost his contract at Bomber land. Also if he was to go as a FA its estimated he will get between 900k to 1 mill and requires him to break his contract. Which would make him the highest paid defender in the league
Otherwise We deal with Dildo again... no thanks, no thanks and no thanks

Re: Hurley!!!!!
We definitely need another tall in our backline, whether it's Hurley, Marchbank or someone else.
Goddard and Carlisle will be there, Delaney and Lee's papers have been stamped IMO and will be delisted at the end of this year.
Dempster will go around again, but I'm not sure about Fisher although I hope he does.

AA CHB last year.....must go ok....
Wouldn't be giving up a high draft pick for him though. More class mids please.
The Bummers losing him to us through FA would be ideal.

Re: Hurley!!!!!
If, and it's a very big if, this rumour has any credibility, why is there a package involved if he's a free agent on the basis of broken contract?
