Would you mind seeing him kick 70-80 goals a year for the next 5-7 years for another team?
I would.

But it is so you donātā¦
Would think if he is leaving Richmond he wants guaranteed game time. If we are to progress up the ladder he would be depth only. Why would you leave a team that is pressing for a flag to go to one that isnāt to be depth. Better to be first in line should someone get injured at the pointy end of the season. Also canāt see Richmond just cutting him to let him go as a delisted free agent, they would want something for him.
Putting this year aside as he was injured and the side has been crap he kicked 60 odd last year as a 23 year old in an average side.
Iām still confident he can be a top ten player in a good side.

The Pies are reportedly about to lose farther son Darcy Moore. It happens,
Why on earth would Fyfe want to move East? No way heāll leave.

Iām reluctant to continue this discussion, but i just canāt let this one slideā¦ I should know better, but anyhowā¦
Who ever suggested that it needs to be either one or the other? Who said that itās a good idea to pick a big mid with poor skills ārather thanā a smaller guy with good skills, as your post insinuates I did? Obviously, a mid needs to have afl quality hand/foot, decision making skills and stamina, regardless of sizeā¦ more Langfords and less Parishs is what Iām saying we need, because we have a big Jobe-size hole in our team and then some.
And my question over your reading comprehension ability has nothing to do with punctuation and possessivesā¦ seriously wtf? Buddy, donāt comment on my posts and attach meaning thatās not there, and i wonāt on yours. Letās move on.

Sloane as he has 2-3 years of good footy left and thatās our window

I didnāt say he wanted to. I asked if anyone would be ballsy enough to ask the question and make an offer he couldnāt refuse. Big difference. Very much hypothetical but also something I donāt think our club would have the cojones to even ponder.

Not just responding to this but asking the broader question. Who are our guns over 25?
Becuase if you donāt have a spread of talent over 25 weāre not really in our window
To answe my own question itās these guys currently are best 22 and will be for the foreseeable future
Heppel 26
Smith 25
Tippa 25
Then these guys are this year but will they be for long.
Hurley 28
Hooker 29
Bellcho 28
I think weāre years of our window. We were trending that way but saga and losing half a dozen guys in trade killed it. We have a very healthy list Heppel and under but it will take a few years to mature.
Ironically it might be talls we need to go with the younger brigade and not more mids. Haha let that blow peopleās minds. Because we have Daniher and Stewart and thatās about it.

Also such a side is likely to have farking goal-kicking coaching!

We have the talent and cattle now
Itās the team structure and coaching panel that is letting things down.
When we play footy like against Geelong we can beat almost any team
Unfortunately guys like Goddard, Zaharakis, Baguley, Myers arenāt gonna get a flag and hence why Zaka should be looked at being traded while he has value.
I definitely think we have more talent than our seasons record suggests
On the bit Iāve quoted, Iām not convinced. I think we can beat any team who has a down day, letās us play our game and doesnāt bring finals intensity to the game. Given we havenāt won a final I think our record gets fluffed a bit by winning games other teams havenāt set themselves for. Until your in the top 4 and beating other top 4-6 teams regularly you canāt really say we can beat anyone.
Because this year has brought them back to reality. They are a long way off challenging. If Ross the Boss survives this year, he probably wont see the end of next season. They are already looking like they are going back to another rebuild so perhaps he seeks better options and more cash.
Hey Nat donāt like reality? Then come to Essemdon where each year is crazier than the last

Didnāt say he would end up here, but if he was thinking of going, this season would go a long way to making up his mind.

They have debuted like 6+ rookies this year. It wasnāt a crash back to reality. They knew what was going to happen. They have started the huge rebuild since last year.
Would anyone trade Joey for Lynch? Would it be worth it or would it be just a nil all draw. I would hate to see a Daniher playing anywhere else.
Yep. Theyāve taken their medicine since making a granny in 2013. Weāre having convulsions in a taxi en route to a night on the ā ā ā ā swearing black and blue weāre ānot sick I swear.ā

No.
Even more ridiculously I have heard a rumour of a Daniher - Darcy Moore possible swap discussion which would make no sense from our perspective. It would suit the Pies as Darcy Moore seems all but gone and they are desperate for a genuine key forward.
