We wanted a lockdown defender. We got a lockdown defender.

Trading McGrath then? I mean if lockdown defender is taken he’s surplus to needs.

Big surprise. Absolutely no rumour about it at all, so that’s a good sign that the club is going about it’s business in a professional manner and little fuss. Not a signing that gets you too excited. Solid footballer, not KP size at 190cm 91kgs. Can he play on small/medium forwards? Given the fact we have struggled in this department he may fill a role on that type of forward. Can’t say I’ve watched Crows games closely enough to pass judgement in that regards. Anyway, welcome to the Bombers Jake!

Wonder whether or not this will stop the plethora of ‘Move Mcgrath down back’ posts over the next 6 months.

Solid player who fits the blue collar ethos. Probably sits just outside best 22.

Perhaps we were offered a J Kelly and didn’t enquire further as to which one.

Don’t rate him at all but good luck to him.

Collingwood obviously didn’t want him so I hope we can make them regret it.

I reckon we’re going to push Redman onto a wing next year. This pick up validates my theory!

Good to see we have grabbed him by his nuts.

He’s not leaving as a free agent to sit in our reserves.

At minimum they must think he plays the role Cutler has been playing.
