I think Holman would be a good get. An upgrade on a few of ours....
He's a great size, seemingly robust, hard at it and a tackling machine (averaging 6 a game). Also, physically mature at 23.

Cripps and Charlie would get a game at any side, then you struggle.
Shaun Grigg gets a game at Richmond.

We've got an Irish kid on the rookie list who won't be getting delisted, LeBois actually has some talent so is probably worth another year to see if he can build his stats.
Given that Phillips is made of bubble gum we'll need a back up ruckman so Lobbe gets another year, I think that we drafted him anyway so that's two years regardless.
Graham isn't up to scratch but neither are Kerridge or Lamb, we certainly don't need all three.
Alex Silvagni will probably retire, Rowe should probably retire as well, Casboult is contracted.
Jack Silvagni, Cunningham, Macredie and Polson have big question marks against their names.
8 or 10 changes again minimum I reckon.

200 or thereabouts.
That was just a shocking call on our part, like playing Warnock and Hampson ahead of Jacobs.
There's a bit of Grigg in Holman actually.

In fairness to the club, you cannot have Holman in the midfield with Cripps, Kennedy and Ed Curnow, we are already treacle slow and Holman would make things even worse, add SoJ to that list in the future and Carlton leg speed is looking like The Blue Rose! Anyway that ship has sailed.
The point wasn't to get types like that, it was more about getting blokes like Lang and Smedts while letting these guys go! It's pointless, the replacements are at best more of the same, not particularly moving forward are we!
We have metaphorically tossed a coin hoping for something other than a head or a tail, or at least it seems that way!

We wanted to sign Grigg. He wanted to leave.
Not our fault there.

Grigg used to get absolutely slated on here for his appalling disposal....maybe, just maybe he's one of those players who was able to improve to AFL standard the longer he was in the system. Sadly, we as a club (and supporters quite frankly) don't' seem to be able to have any patience with late bloomers.

Agreed very different issues, both Grigg and Jacobs wanted out fans struggle to accept that but it's reality, we didn't offload them they left!
Fans tend to think every player departure is another Aaron Hamill situation.

He was playing mainly for the Northern Blues, not surprising he wanted to leave, likewise Jacobs.

You can knuckle down and do what you need to do to earn a game in the 1's.
Or
You can piss off to another club.
He made his call, and i've got nothing against the club for how he was treated.
