Any of those players worth picking up Dale? I know Obst played for the Hawks and Swans - would he be a good option? Even Nick Carter?

[Dale61]

At least 10 of those players have already been tried at AFL level, and most, if not all, are in the upper age range.

I would be looking at some of the younger brigade who have age on their side.

Ben Atkin would have 2-3 years left in him, Plapp has a few left in him, but both aren't at AFL level.

Geez. Jarrad was a bit stiff, again. Good to see Sammy and Lloydy in the team, though.
