Do you think there's something in our attempt to lure Haywood over on those dollars? Do youbelieve Cook? Or do you believe in SENs reporting?
I'm not sure ... i thought they were offering him martin's money?

Re ex Carlton footballer. Where did he get it from? Are you sure the ex Blue wasn't Heath Buck? He isn't that connected, but given he's an ex Blue. It would be more credible coming from an existing team mate. My best mate is an ex Blue, and I know more about the goings on at carlton than he does. Everyone hears rumours. Did you ex Carlton mate say he heard a rumour or Weitering told him so?
my mate still has a bit to do with the club, so he'd know. weiters and young had a blow up last season after training. it's not like they were pulled apart or anything ... but there's bad blood there from weiters. charlie and marchbank don't like young either for whatever it's worth.

But we do already have 4 small forwards and a 2 rucks dilemma because TDK is not holding his marks and kicking straight at goal consistently when Fwd, but when he does, watch out. He's looking great as the No 1 ruck. We are a much more dangerous forward line when we have 3 tall marking forwards, with one a genuine Fwd Ruck to stop disrupting our spine by pinching Harry to make ends meet, then having Charlie with 2 opponents.
SOS is earmarked for the position by a lot of posters, but I don't forget he wasn't guaranteed of a spot in the 23 when he was fit. I think we are living in hope with SOS because of our desperate need for a chop out in the ruck and a 3rd marking tall. Yes SOS is better in that role than Cripps and Kennedy but nowhere near as dangerous as TDK imo.
We have needs. Just got a feeling we wont be investing in another small forward for a while after investing since 2020 Gibson, Fogarty, Durdin, Motlop, Betts, Owies and now Williams giving us something.
i think sos makes the 22 over pittonet, if we're all healthy. he has a red hot go in the ruck, and chases and does the team things that we need.
i don't rate any of our smalls. at all. motlop is maybe the best of the bunch, but even then he's a little 1-dimensional. no x-factor. fog is great when he's at it 100%, but when he's just 1% off, he's not offering much - as the last 4 weeks has shown.
owies is gone at season end, martin too. Maybe williams steps up into the martin role with SOS, but i can see us definitely in the market for a small forward.
by all reports moir has the talent, but not the application. it would really suck if he doesn't come on into that medium forward role.
