Maybe interested in Harris and Corey Jones!
Read this!

"St Kilda, which needs to bolster its midfield following the retirement of Robert Harvey, is certain to entertain Harris and could also have interest in Jones, 27, who has played 145 games for 198 goals."

I remember we played a game against the Roos a few seasons ago and he dominated the clearances. This guy is a gun in close.
Only problem is we've already got Luke Ball doing much the same role. I'm also not sure that Harris would solve our need for pace and I'd be loath to give our first pick for a 27 year old. We need as much young blood as possible.
If we could get him and retain our first pick I'd say go for it.

He is oldish (25?) and pretty slow and in the mould of several other in and under midfielders we have (L Ball, Hayes).

RL has put it on record that we are about injecting pace into our midfield. Harris does not meet this criteria.

In regards to Corey Jones - DREAM ON JOURNO. That is blatantly just a made up piece of reporting. We would not chase a 27 year old small forward when we have schneider/milne/gwilt in his mold.

I think you'll find Harris is also 27 which is why I wouldn't give up a first round pick for him.

I would definately look at Harris.Have always admired his head over the ball approach and wouldn't regard him as slow.Would obviously depend on what was on the table in exchange.Jones would also be more than useful as a foil down forward for Riewoldt but agree it's not likely...interesting possibilities 8-)

Would definitely be interested in Harry, depending on the price.

Very good in and under midfielder, would take some of the slack from Lenny and Bally, and give dal santo another big body tpo put some hits and blocks on for him.

Knows what playing for the team is all about, good work ethic. Sure, had an average year, but is a very good player. If we could get him for a 3rd rounder we'd be stupid not to enteratain the idea.

Eek, didnt realise he was 27.

I proposed

Saints get: Harris + 9
Saints lose: Dal + 13

Roos get: Dal + 13
Roos lose Harris + 9

Might be a bit in the Roos favour though, thought Harris was Dal's age...

Agree..

He is exactly the type of Midfielder we don't need. We already have Ball, Armitage and Hayes that can play the same role. We need to inject some more pace into our Midfield, someone who can burst out of packs and provide some run and carry.

we need him.. we got smashed in the middle when Ball was out

THis means that Dal can go back to being the soft receiver he plays his best footy as... no use trying to make Dal a harder player when we can get one in harris, would possibly be a better option that Kerr anyway and would be a lot cheaper

Turns 27 in May. I'd take him, but it'd depend on what the asking price was.

Harris wouldn't improve our team at all...

Ross would know that...hopefully


Saints looking like a bottom 4 team in 2024.

Corey Jones is not tall enough to play 3rd forward...and we are OK for small forrwards IMHO

Harris? Poor 2007 (he was in my dreamteam squad but hardly got a game) and 2008. Would be trading on 2006 form which IMHO is dangerous

27...and yes we need PACE

Averaged 19 touches in 66% game time.

Disposal efficiency = 76% (same as Dals)

So Dal is a clanger king too eh?


Batnoe

Post: # 658585Post Batnoe »

it is his hardness

number one for Kangaroos for clearances

he is the clearance king

can you imagine, Hayes, Ball, Harris?

dishing it to Dal, and Joey and maybe Cousins even tho Cuz would get in there too?
