LOL BH.....with my current memory mate seems like somedays I too donned the pads around the same time as young Clem Hill!

Apologies 30+.....Clem Smith is the indeed the fella I am referring to.....

I'd say we have work to do,to secure his services again.

Doesn't matter what has gone before. If he is delisted and returns to Perth We need to move mountains to ensure he plays in red and black.

Yes as many 1 point ex AFL players as possible are a must.
The Club must overcome what has gone the best it can.
Let's hope the bridge is not entirely demolished.

I wouldn't be moving mountains Smokey. It seems some of these former AFL listed players think they are something special and take the club for a ride if you get my drift. We want players to come who want to be here otherwise they can piss off and waste someone else's time for all I care.

He is blessed with talent but unfortunately earned a reputation as being a bit of a hard nut and tries to live up to that tag, to the detriment of his football sometimes. I haven't seen him play for Carlton for a while but looked to me not up to AFL fitness standards and hence just off the pace.

The club should be moving mountains to get Brennan Stack to another club in exchange for a handy back up ruckman/forward or key back before the June 30 deadline.

The trouble is we let these good players go and we get other clubs rubbish in return.
Im with Smokey we must go all out to get him if he is delisted.

If you must let them go then get like for like,not a ressies player that we think may come good.
Or get top dollar and recruit a player that is a worthy replacement.

Agree DD, with all the injuries to our taller players we desperately need to get some height into the club before June 30th. Stack is probably the only player who may have some currency in the WAFL and we need to exchange him for a versatile tall. Hopefully we can snag a half decent player, and the bonus is we get rid of Stack at last.

shouldn't you boys be pumping up Stack a tad more?....you say you want something half decent for a crab.....interesting sales pitch indeed! .....

We have Freezin believe me and so have the coaching staff. He's been playing ressies the last 2 or 3 games and is just coasting. Doesn't look like a player who is busting his gut to get back into the league side to help us out. He should be averaging 3 goals a game in the league side.

Reckon Tony Lockett would struggle to average 3 a game with the quality of delivery into our forward line!! We know Stack has ability and is just down on confidence as a direct result of being being in arguably the worst forward line in the league. Give him a run in the guts so he can get involved in the game more

With the likes of Jones, Jacobs, Tropiano, White and McKenna already there not to sure Stack would even get the chance of touching the footy.....how about a run up back?
