Darcy bloodline is WB Royalty. Wouldn't think he would leave.

Doggies might think about it if we added in a F1, but I'd doubt it.
Yep i get that, it would take a substantial offer to have Darcy ask and of course there the 3 year contract rule in place now too. Just that if he asked and to keep him it meant they had a 3rd tall forward demanding 1m per year then theres a chance. We'd have to be ballsy for sure.
Perhaps JUH instead, but i think id prefer Darcy for the second ruck options.
If not nothing lost we have picks 1 and 2 still.

We are not throwing big bag of cash randomly at one player, those days are over, NO.

We go to the draft, build the core, trade in the midtiers, some free agents to plug the holes and some luck.
 
There must be some regular Giants that can't get a senior gig and play VFL every week who would like a change of scenery, do they have anyone on their list whose footskills and pace are questionable ?
Conor Stone - but he's quite injury prone.

And doesn't fit your description but I'd love to get Leek Aleer in.
 
My point is exactly that - you remember them winning 4 flags - not what they did off field, although pretty sure Tuck and a few boys had regular good times.

You were the one who introduced off field stuff trhat every club does now.

I was talking purely about the culture within the group re Oliver - its not strong enough yet to bring him in.

Winning wallpapers over lots of things.


Think Cousins, Kerr, Carey, Stokes etc.

Cousins was run out West Coast and saw out his career at another team, same with Carey.

Matthew Stokes just lol


TT will go to a contending team, make AA, win a flag and in 5 years nobody will remember he even played at NM.

I very much doubt it.
 
If we get any players from other clubs, they need to be someone who can lead this team forward. Macrae, Smith, Daniel, Oliver ect, are not. They are players you get when you have established leaders already and they can come in and play their role. They are not what we need now.

We also hold all the cards with Zurhaar. If he chooses to leave, and we will only be getting back end of first round. We match and force a trade for whoever's first rounder. He is a RFA. He can't just walk.

This will have to be the way. Those hoping for band 1 are dreaming. Magoo barely scraped in with $850k a year, and they say that with the salary cap going up it will be well over $900k to trigger band 1 now.

Give an example of somebody who could lead the club forward

Not sure where you got "barely scraped in" from…

If going old, about to retire looking to become coach. Boak or Pendles. Someone who has been a leader/captain. If throwing the checkbook at a younger player.....well, I don't think anyone will come no matter the money.

This is the art of recuiting. Finding a 22-23 year old, outside the system, or outside an oppo teams best 22 that in capable and hungry to make a difference. At the moment we have failed miserably at this.
 
Barry Davis, John Rantall, Doug Wade. Well, the modern day equivalents preferably.

Yes who are the modern day equivalents? Pendles? Fyfe? Viney?

It’s going to be difficult to attract players who are still getting regular games in teams that are contending.
 
Is that Connor Nash up for FA this year? Not sure how he goes against all the other teams, but he always seems to give us the whats what when we play them.

No doubt will go full potato if he come across.
