Major Chol - Free Agent

[Devilhead]

I read on the AFL site that Chol is an unrestricted FA ontracted until the end of this year

22 yo - doing well at Tigers can ruck and go forward

Could he be our answer to another forward/ruck combining with Marshall?

edted subject for you

Can't imagine Richmond not keeping him but we should be looking at any FA that will improve us and we will need someone who can ruck at the end of the year.

[Sainternist]

He looked great against us the other week. Definitely worth looking at, if he the Tiges aren't prepared to keep him on their list.

[Devilhead]

The article says he is unrestricted which mean Tigers cant match our offer

With Nankervis to return and Soldo their number 2 choice we might be able to pry him loose for a not over the top offer given that Tigers cap must be tight

He impressed me in the Richmond game. Has youth on his side and would prefer him to Goldy largely for that reason.

The field Marshall and the Major. Has a nice ring to it

Can play and loves a goal.

Looked seriously good against us

[Devilhead]

Would assume the club are over all players but in case they need a reminder .......

Chol is pretty raw but he would be able to give Marshall a chop out when required and we can play two agile marking twin towers deep in the forward line (King and Chol) with Bruce roaming from CHF - Lonie and Gresh at their feet and Membery mobile across the arc

Food for thought

Yep, Chol would be the type of back up we need for Marshall.

Could potentially play forward or back and is super athletic.

It would be the most athletic and versatile ruck/ forward combo in the competition.

Assuming that Chol would continue to improve - he has always kicked goals in VFL and is averaging 2 per game this year

A 2 ruck combo and both can play forward

He cant be on that much at the Tigers given his rookie status so a Draper like 4 year deal might just be enough

We can still keep Longer and Pierce as back up - or at least one

I thought the whisper and insider talk was all about throwing the cheque book at the untried Essendon kid?

[Devilhead]

Looked seriously good against us

16 disps (13 kicks 3 hballs), 9 marks, 7 hitouts and 3 goals

Just what you need for a 2nd ruck

Allows Bruce and Acres to stay in set positions not having to worry about rucking

Allows us to keep a structured forward set up which we currently do not have once Bruce has to ruck - even when he isn't rucking its not structured right anyway

Its a furphy!

It's time to roll with Chol

"......this is ground control to Major Chol......"

He can't be 22 and a FA?? Out of contract, maybe, but no free agent.....

He has struggled to play many games - he may have entered the Callum Sinclair Club - where the Saints make duds look like superstars.....

There are new rules dealing with players that were listed then rookied. They get treated like RFA's from what i understand.
I dont know anything about chol other than his game against us and he was very good.
Beautiful kick, good mark and huge leap.
Cost us a lot less than the other alternatives.

[ss1986]

BUT - will he line the pockets of anyone at St.Kilda, or those close to them????

[CarlD]

On what they have shown recently if Richmond had to choose between keeping Chol or Soldo I suspect they would lean towards retaining Chol.

Yes is a UFA.

(EDITED Due to Brain Fade !!!)

Player would need to want to come to us first. Tigers would have to look as an attractive home at present. Tigers will be tight for $$$ though.

[Devilhead]

Restricted is when Tigers can match the bid ..... unrestricted I don't think so
