Not unless we can get another key forward. Just lost our last one.
Brisbane won a flag with Morris and Gallop, Id be going two younger KP Forwards with height and must have kicking ability, Harry just misses too many goals and we cant afford that with our lack of system and efficiency imho.

Struggled this year but been pretty good for us. Not going to jump on him yet.

Step would be to get someone like Walterfrom GC.

Walter doesn't grab me for some reason, I'd probably show interest in Ben King as a free agent due to his kicking prowess.

Joel Amartey is a free agent.

Id probably hunt him and leek aliir going into next season given what happened there.

What would Harry be worth at the moment on the trade table?
He had his issues last year and is not really imposing himself at the moment.

There would be some interest...but I'm not sure it would be what we think he's worth and well short of his Coleman year.
Averaged 1.8 goals a game last year
Averaging 1.3 goals a game this year

Amartey and Swans are a fair way off in talks I read so they might be preparing to offload him now they have Charlie.

If I was a Swan I'd be keeping Amartey, he's got a bit of mongrel about him, worth us having a crack if the situation evolves.

I think he'll garner some interest.

For me the problem they have is that they now have two KPF who are 70% types, it is sort of the same problem we had finding balance between H and Charlie. You really need on 24x7 type who is a grunt specialist, and the flash type as a compliment. Let's say Heeney maintains his form, he'll be No.1 ahead of both!

Maybe, maybe not.
The swans have been pretty fair trading partners for us, I’d not wish to burn them.

Fair? Dumping a bloke who doesn't want to be here and another bloke who's a turnover specialist...both in serious coin. Two discards of questionable value and the picks are looking later and later every week. I know who currently winning this deal and it isn't us.

yeah cause they would be itching to play in a team going backwards who played a substance affected footballer and currently sitting 16th on the ladder.

we have to go to the draft in the bext few years a - no one would want to be traded to a club like us.

The swans rising up the ladder is our fault ?
The two “discards” were contracted players.
Can you tell me who has been traded to another club for higher draft capital than Charlie ?
Get over yourself, we made a deal knowing what the best/worst result would be for the Charlie’s picks.
Stop crying.

pay the man, and he'll come.

Whats your proposed fix? Drafting kids and hope a club that cant develop talent due to multi layered disfunction manages to turn the tide?

Im over the draft. Weve drafted more first rounders for than most clubs over the last 20 years and its gotten us nowhere.

We must keep at the draft.
We need to trade and trade well but we cannot dodge the draft, we must get better at development.
All easy to say but seemingly harder to achieve.

Is "an" Amartey a priority? I think we need to build a decent, modern midfield. Pacey and good ball users who can provide quality delivery it into the forward line. Any half decent fwd can kick goals when its to delivered to the right places. Fix that first then the appeal will be there for a decent fwd to come to us, just like Charlie frothed up at getting supply from Heeney, Warner, McKinerny, Blakey, Goulden etc.
