Are there no key forwards running around in the VFL that are looking like cutting the mustard?
any Podisadley types?
Riccardi
Got any links on the kid to read?

Riccardi will be a playerâŚshows a lot. Go back to our first meeting with Werribee.
Wouldnât mind seeing if we can pry someone out of another club. My list without any really thought of substance. These guys donât play much, so cheap pickings possibly (would like to hear your opinions)
Ben McKay (Kangas)
Darcy Fogarty (Adelaide)
Pat Kerr (Carlton)
Wylie Buzza (Geelong)
Jon Patton (GWS)
Callum Moore (Tigers)
Bailey Williams (West Coast)
Could also look for a mature age player in the VFL, SANFL etcâŚ
Corey Gault
Liam McBean
Hugo Munn
Luke Surman
⢠Backman - likely to be given more game time now Thompson has retired
⢠Will depend on new coach. Also suspect he might be Jay Neagle MKII
⢠Know nothing about him
⢠Suspect weâd have to pay overs to get him away for Cats, and donât think heâs worth that much
⢠With a fitness/medical team overhaul going on, donât think the General would be the wisest move and I donât know that heâd want to come to us for that reason
⢠havenât heard of the last 2, and anyone who mentions Liam McBean should be perma banned. Fantastic 2nd tier player (SANFL, VFL etc) but was atrocious when given a crack at AFL
We need a ruckman.
Agree, but Riccardi is going to be 20 something in 2020, Pods was late 20âs when he finally cracked AFL
Donât forget James Stewart. 197cm. 50 games, Coming into his prime years as a tall forward. Mobile. Assuming he can get over his OP

OP to our first 2 choice forwards has killed us.
Had we had Daniher & Stewart available, having Mckerran as well⌠could have been a very formidable forward line.

Heâs kicked 3 goals in the past 3 years.
Either heâs been set as a backman or he flat-out sucks

I hope DODORO has scoured AFL lists for a big man who is low down in the pecking order, followed by AFL rookie lists and the state leagues. I hope he has had scouts checking them out and has copious video footage.
I hope he has already lined up a few prospects and had interviews with them.
On draft day, he will pull a couple from up his sleeve.
This recruiting is easy. Can be done from the kitchen table in Dubbo.

I canât see how Braydon Preuss, at 24, can possibly be happy with only 7 senior games in 2019. Contracted for another two years, but would be perfect for us until Draper is right to go.

Preuss has been horribly underwhelming at AFL when given a shot.
Can see why heâs been stuck behind Goldy and now Gawn.
id take him in a heartbeat considering our rucks stocks. but youve gotta wonder about a bloke who thought it was a good idea to move to a club with one of the best ruckman in the compâŚ

Not in the same class as Gawn, so no surprises there. Still reckon that he would be an upgrade on Zlarke & a seemingly cooked Belly. We are desperate for a competitive ruckman. Revisit the elimination final & see how ineffective Belly was vs Nic Nat & Hickey. The Dees wonât trade him, so itâs a moot point anyway.
