But two of them will cost 22 points I think.
How do we then recruit the talls we need?

The club is definately going to have to look at the high end points players already at the club,maybe a couple of tough decisions have to be made.

Do we still have the extra points for player recruiting handed to us by the commission last season??

I would have thought Jonesy would want to play finals again b4 he retires...I did suggest that at the WJ Hughes medal last Friday ... had sum interest

Should be able to find 20 points DF.
Consider....
Tropo 5 points - ? is he going to Subi? Don't want to lose him though.
Wolfy 7 points - wouldn't like to lose him but...
Wilkins 5 points
Gianatii 5 points
Payne 3 points.
Papertalk - is he still on our list? 10 points
Brookes 3 points
Etto 5 points
Cary 5 points
Mills 5 points
Boyes 2 points
Surely if we are smart enough we can find the points needed. Some of those points may reduce next season anyway. There are 10 points, if not 20 staring us in the face.
I do not know whether the concessions from this past season will flow onto 2017.
I hope that they do - I think that they should.

Don't you worry about Jonsey. He intends to play finals next year....with the Demons.

That's what he was told b4 he signed with PFC...don't think it went to plan nor will it in '17

Smokey from your list, here would be my outs.
With due respect of course.
Papertalk not on list.
Wilkins 5 points ?
Gianatii 5 points
Payne 3 points.
Brookes 3 points
Etto 5 points
Cary 5 points
Mills 5 points
Boyes 2 points
That's 28 points.
Covers the two but not many ruckmen or talls.
Would we want both Deboer and Mitchell if Tendai is back?
My suggestion might be Tendai and Deboer plus the talls we need.

We will have to agree to disagree. Jonesy is well entrenched at Lathlain and still under contract.
I don't think that Souths have any of Cicco's brown paper bags left.

Fair comment DF. But let's be greedy. After seeing the Sam Mitchell deal come out of the blue perhaps to a lesser extent anything can happen.
Perhaps some clever trading is possible.
A lot depends on whether we can get those three players and whether we lose any players, including possibly Tropo. Everything is still just rumours.

Those bags went with Cicco Smokey. lol

DF, as a fall-back situation, getting Tendai back with Matt Deboer would free up some points for talls. It would be a good situation if we don't lose Tropo and, perhaps, we can get Matt Rogers back from Swans. Now that would still be a very useful midfield.
Would Johnston be one of the talls? He is versatile and if his body is right would be most useful IMO. And he was only 3 points?
