Monga = Mongoloid = Matthew Lloyd.... we hate monga ... well I do anyway

I'm a fan & absolutely no disrespect to Jamison intended, but as you said "in the making".

Yep, making...he's already good, soon to be very good, and IMHO, will be a great FB.

Why recruit another one?

I've no problem with your prediction re how good Jamo will be ... my initial question was whether we needed an experienced full-back who could educate our young guns ...

And my thoughts on that are no, we need a CHB or CHF, because we only have one player who can play those roles, and we need (at least) 2. We have a FB...would be nice to have an experienced player in every position who can teach the young guns, but that's a luxury no team can afford with a list or 38 (and that's what coaches are there for).

It says he only won six hit outs in the official stats, but stats can paint a picture and then centre square contests can paint another picture.

I was at the game and I distinctly remember him jumping over the top of the opposing ruckman in the centre square. He has a massive leap.

I agree with your point about around the ground - but that will/should? improve the more game time he gets.

Very athletic player.

Again, no disrespect (I'm fairly new to this forum). When you say "we need a CHB or CHF, because we only have one player who can play those roles", are you talking another JW type player?

We've got a very, very good full back in the making...Jamison. Unfortunately he didn't play on Saturday night. But remember back to the first game this year against Brisbane. They kicked to Bradshaw 9 times in the first half, and he didn't get a single possession, Jamison killed him. Then Jamison hurt his shoulder, and Bradshaw got 9 possessions and a goal in the second half.

Keep in mind...Bradshaw's record in the lead-up to that game was 3 goals, 3, 5, 5, 7, 6 and 1 (Geelong), and after the Carlton game 6 and 6 before he got injured. Puts into perspective just how good Jamison's job on him was.

FB is not a problem. CHB is, as is CHF. While Waite's reading of the play and rebound off half back has been exceptional this year, he does struggle a little on the power CHFs. And it would be nice to release him to play loose across half back, on a wing, or across half forward.

So...we need either a CHF or a CHB. My preference would be to pick up a CHB, and release Waite forward, but I would be happy if we found a CHF and Waite stayed back.

As for the ruck, I think Hampson will make it, and Kreuzer will be a star. Haven't seen Jacobs so don't know. They are a few years away though, and so a stop-gap ruckman for 2 years would be useful (NOT White, and NOT Brogan for 3 years, as was discussed on AW tonight. Maybe for 2 years).

To answer the question, our most pressing need is a CHF or CHB.

Backs and mids the least of our probs.
