    Who will you chase now you've missed out on Coote? Were offering 550-600 a season according to reports.

    I'd imagine Corey Norman and/or Moses Mbye? David Mead?

    But yeah I think the Norman rumours are pretty strong, so probably a fair shout there

    Unless a quality fullback, centre or second rower comes up I wouldn't be signing anyone. Looking at the off contract list Josh Mansour is the only one who would really excite me.

    SBW & some depth at fullback is probably the most realistic hope though.

    albert kelly?

    Cordner out again for 4 to 6 weeks.
     
  8. Magic AJ Parker

    Looks like Pearce will join him with a calf strain.

    End of this season cant come quick enough.

    Fuck I hope I didn't tip you.

    Are we really going to sign Keary? I'd rather persist with Hastings and I don't rate him at all. I'm not rating Matterson at all either.. usually you see something that gives you an indication they might kick on to something good.. not seeing it with him. I saw it with Hastings when he first started, would at least like to see how he combines with Pearce for a few more games before rejecting him.

    The problem with Hastings is that he's a very dominant playmaker who likes to play on the ball which is fine but so does Pearce. Both like to rack up 60+ touches a game.I'm not sure if as a combo they could work because of that. They'd have to actually play as a genuine halves combo, which would be awesome if they could succeed at it.

    What happened to his apparent GOAT short-kicking game? He's slightly better than Pearce at forcing drop outs but that's about it.

    Hastings? I've never heard that before. Unless it's a half arsed bomb/chip straight to the winger he doesn't want a bar of it.
     
  14. Magic AJ Parker

    Poor coaching I think. He's always been a very kick happy player and I think they've 1) tried to coach that out of him and; 2) given some pretty set instructions on how he needs to be finishing sets.

    I think it's become pretty obvious how pre-meditated his kicking game is this year. When he plays on instinct he's got a great short kicking game, his long kicking game has always been balls because he's got absolutely no power.

    I really don't know about Keary, I think he's a decent ball runner but I have never rated his ball playing ability. I can see a lot of similarities in Keary to the way Maloney would run his edge so that may be the logic behind it, makes a mockery of the decision to let Jimmy go though.

    I liked Keary when he started but he's been awful for quite a while now. He's a half without vision. I wouldn't even trust him to run one side of the field effectively. It's a bit of a weird buy for Easts. He'd probably do better with Pearce than he has with Reynolds but that's cause Pearce is actually a halfback.
     
  16. Alec AD Funkotron

    Hastings had a good opportunity to show at least something this year leading the side with Pearce being out for 8 weeks, and he has shown pretty much nothing. I dunno, I just find it difficult to rate him. Not that Keary has been any good either.

    How do we feel about Michael Gordon? Some strange shit going on at our club at the moment. Latrell is already in the deep end. May as well let him stick it out rather than waiting another year on the wing or in the centres. Unless they don't see him as a long term fullback anymore.

    We've lost a fair few games from goalkicking already this year. That alone is a huge boost. I get the feeling we'll be putting him on the wing though and keeping Mitchell at fullback. Just let Burgess go and we're constantly putting forwards into the centres. Pre sure it will be Mitchell, Tupou, SKD, Ferguson, Gordon.

    Michael Gordon is old and not very good. He'll only play fullback - why waste the money when you have Mitchell?

    Gordon is a shunt.
