If the pies can get billy ■■■■■■■ frampton to perform and the saints with mason wood. Then I don’t see why not

Break glass option perhaps

Obviously concerns on our kpd position with Lav injured and unable to place any reliance on Reid or Cox presently when they’d have been expected to be playing this year. Plus Stewart continuing to have issues, he’d have been the one ordinarily getting the call up as required

Baldwin or McBride really should be played however.

In any case take to trade speculation thread!

I know it’s the MSD but I just don’t see the value of bringing in anyone >27yo that won’t be a best 22 player.

He’s a decent (and strong) 1v1 defender.

Makes some diabolical errors when he gets the ball, though

We’ve got enough of those

He had major back issues before Blues delisted him. Apparently now over after surgery.
Certainly good 1v1 defender.

We should be scanning the VFL for an in form tall defender circa 24-25, in the 197-198cm range fast and strong with a big body.

the point being reid isn’t replacing lav this year, you put him in and he would get broken in half by hawkins laughing his ass off at the match up, let alone if he survives that and plays on him.

in the furture when he puts on (or IF he puts on ) about 10 plus kg’s then he can take over from lav. he sure as ■■■■ ain’t doing it this year, hence it’s pointless thinking he will be taking the lav role this year.

baldwin has a better chance, but as the article suggests, i guess they are going to look at local leagues and recently delisted heavier backman to fill the gap.

MSD?

It’s a hard no…

If we want a big defender I guess why not. 23 years old and one of the best in the VFL

I’d probably prefer Philips more than McDonald. Mind you, I haven’t seen either of them play for a while.

A perfect fit at Essendon then.

I don’t think he’s a good choice.
But it’s slim pickings for defenders if we think it’s a need.
Sydney need them badly and are after him (if the article is to be believed).

I guess the Sydney list manager isn’t as good as Blitz makes them out to be…
