Richards and a 2nd round pick would be better.Give Bryan a chance,he's only been there a year,Richards has had more than enough time to perform.

I agree magpies girl, i think Bryan has showed patches this year and is well worth another season

i would love to get Jolly
hes a really good tap ruckmen, as good as richards and very mobile around the ground. He will compliment Fraser really,really well.

I'd rather put our resources into going after Jamie Charmen or Steven King.

Charman but Not King

Trading for quality established players has been our achilles heel for over a decade, (Stevens, Johnson, Gherick)E ven if Jolly was begging to come to the pies we would miss out. Their are numerous clubs with higher draft picks to trade before we will even get a look in. ie Carlton Richmond Melbourne are all screaming for another ruckman.
On past performance we will be the getting screwed. No club would accept less than a first round draft pick for an established ruckman or a quality player all we could offer is Egan Davis Toovey Cook Richards and Bryan none of which would be acceptable

Would rather go after Wood from the Lions (if he is on the table). He looks OK and is young. Trading for older players costs too much unless your a real contenter for a flag.

Wood would be on Top of My List.
He was a NAB Rising Star Nominee this Year so he is no Slouch

We are flag contenders guys. Jolly is only 25 and approaching his prime as a ruckman. The ruck is our only real weakness. With our list, we have a wonderful opportunity in the next 2-3 years to add some silverware to our display cabinet at the Lexus centre. It's time to seize the moment.

These guys never let the truth get in the way of a good yarn do they?
