Come on mate, Damo asked for an "established" player... I'm offering up a guy with more than 300 games experience, you can't get much more "established" than that!!!
That's true @JPK I did use the word "established" as my only descriptor, so I only have myself to blame! Lets add a few more - "regularly playing" and "not 3 months' away from retirement". No-one has met reserve yet, @choppers is closest to what I'm after, but Gray not quite of the caliber for a first-rounder, especially when we have compulsory delistments for the first time, so this could be the difference between taking a pick in the top 10 versus the 70s.
Ok, I'll revise my bid to be Cale Hooker, a DPP Forward / Defender who has played 11 games this season, and 22 games for each of the last three seasons (that he was eligible, so ignoring last year's drugs ban). I'll even include a glowing character reference from former Melbourne captain, Garry Lyon: http://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/af...n/news-story/7fca71d0a9e226d74cc522656e978dbc
Lol! Love that character reference. All it needed was Barrett to add his "sentences that start with if & then" to add more credibility. Maybe something like "if Hooker can't kick a goal...then play him in defence". God his column shits me! Maybe Lordo (wtf) could chime in with "Zac Clarke is a better ruckman than Naitanui" just to add a little more perspective. Gotta love ex-players, and those that wished they played, turned journos.
Matt Kennedy - 20YO - 2015 #13 pick - currently listed as a Forward but will most likely be F/M next season + PSD round 4
Up for auction is the awesome (just ask him) Norm Smith medalist and All Australian Superstar - Steve Johnson! Still capable of winning a game off his own boot and will be playing with a chip on his shoulder on the run home after letting his team down by missing the prelim last season. He'll be do everything in his power to help secure GWS the flag this year - can he also help your team out up forward? What am I after? MSD or PSD pick/s Auction ends this Saturday 23:30 AEST
Up for auction is Aaron Francis - 2015 #6 pick - currently listed as D/F What am I after? - a ready to go mid, forward or defender and / or PSD pick/s Auction ends this Saturday 23:30 AEST
Up for auction is Jarrad McVeigh - should come home with at least top 20-30 defensive point production after the mid season break What am I after? - PSD and / or MSD picks Auction ends this Saturday 23:30 AEST
On track with draft picks, but I won't use 32 so still not quite at reserve. Preference would be for PSD over MSD.
AUCTION : Anthony MILES #26 Richmond Age: 25yr 4mth Games: 67 Born: Feb 28, 1992 Height: 179cm Weight: 80kg Has proven past performances, just needs some luck this season. Asking price 2nd round psd pick, early 3rd round psd pick or a late 1st round msd pick. Closes Friday 9th 10pm EST
Apologies for the delay in responding - nothing has quite met reserve to date. However, the Smugglers have traded their last two first round PSD picks, so we are serious - make me an offer!
