Maginness is a good player, not sure why he’d want to leave though or what role we’d have for him? If he left it would be because he wants more inside time., which im not sure we’d give him.

Ill take it if it means Weideman and laverde are off the list

Couple of recent vids on afl.com.au

And from a recent article he torched our vfl side

“In a VFL match against Essendon last month, which Box Hill won convincingly, Maginness was a clear best-on-ground and finished the clash with 39 disposals, eight clearances and a goal.”

Would be happy with Prior as a Heppell replacement has been playing well in the vfl.

Maginness is also arguably the best tagger in the game too. Scott clearly wants a two way runner,

Prior - for depth in the backline - I would take
McGinness - what role? tagger? - Pass for mine
Rotham - No, just no. WCE fans don’t rate him

How the hell does a tagger average 2 tackles a game over 2 seasons?

not big ones. 187cm would be bigger than most of ours.

If we are after another mid (perhaps we shouldn’t be), then why not look at Devon Robertson, who can’t get a game with Brisbane at the moment and will find opportunities smaller next year when they add another Ashcroft.

That’s fine. Get him and then turf setterfield and another mid

It would be very on brand to add another poor ball user to the mix
