Those are fair points Thry, but I'm still not sure. Tippett's career thus far has been distinctly underwhelming. He would be a better 2nd ruck than Cas, but he's older, would be more expensive, and has no real presence (Cas is a bit better, but not by much). Plus Cas is a better contested mark, and given his current form, is a better kick for goal. I realize Cas' net worth is now as high as it's likely to be, and one side of the argument says sell now. But on the other hand an argument could be made that says we have put serious amounts of time and effort and resources into getting him sorted, why should others reap the benefits, especially the replacement is of dubious value ?

My devalued Aussie dollar's worth.

All good Paulp, variety is the spice of life as they say and a different opinion is always handy.

I just look at Harry Mckay, Levi, and do the maths, and in about two years time, one of them will be depth (or gone), and the other will be a starting 22 player.

Tippett just turned 30, he can be depth at 32.  Casboult is only 27 and will be 29 in the prime years of his career being displaced by Harry and might want out rather than providing us with depth. 

All this is as an alternative to selling the farm to get Schache too.

Nothing official Pretty.

I have a good mate who lives in Sydney and is a member of GWS. He reckons they will have to let some
good regulars go because of salary cap problems .

And Trigger did say a few weeks ago that we were looking to sign a marquee player.

We sure need a good KPF.

No to Schache. No to Josh Kelly. No to Zac Jones (What do people see in him, that I don't?) Go to the draft. 2019 is the year to land some big, midfield fish.

I seriously think if Kreuzer is still at Carlton and doing the solo ruck stuff there is room for both McKay and Casboult. McKay is ultra-mobile compared to Casboult.

For me McKay competes with SoJ.

Casboult competes more with Kerr.

SoJ could well end up on a wing or in the backline long term.

Jones? Speed, inside toughness, excellent kick, scores goals, great endurance and importantly only 22 so fits exactly what we need. Wouldn't be as expensive as Fyfe or Dusty.

Schache should be judged on his junior football more than his time at the Lions and on that form, I would be having a nibble.

750k a year for 5? No
400k a year? Yes 500k? Possibly

Jones is an outside player. Acts tough in the push and shove but doesn't put his head over the ball.
