Question. With so many retirements this year we are going to be cashed up. Does the mean we have to spend it all on current and some new players or can we stockpile some for when a catch like Buddy (Tippett?) next appears?

We have a lot of players, quite a few recently drafted, who can play small/medium forward or defender, flankers and the like. But many are crying out for more depth in the midfield.
Heeney is great tackler, besides his many other elite attributes. But his kicking can be inconsistent, especially for goal. Put him in the midfield.
Need a big bodied midfielder? Why not Dawson. Can't decide where his best position lies? Play him in the midfield. He was a great inside mid in the reserves. Covers a lot of ground and racks us plenty of tackles as well.
Make as sweetheart deal for Richmond's Mabior Chol. Rotate Chol and Aliir through the ruck and key defence. The dynamic Sudanese duo will be pure excitement and a real crowd draw. We can also trade off all our other ruckmen, creating plenty of list and cap space. Maybe keep 1, in case of injury.
For me re Dawson :
It is his capacity to influence the game by foot that is his greatest attribute.....he is brilliant short and long kicking
Let’s be honest when you play with a guy like hike you get on your bike no matter what and lead hard
That type of kicking ability makes you want to to a mark and put in the massive yards to run
I like his swing ability at HBF and HFF for now as it contributes most effectively to our team performance
Just heard Matthew Lloyd say: ,'When Carlton get Coniglio and Papley ....'.(AFL.com). I won't believe that until I see it! That would be up there with us losing Mummy and Mitchell!
Nothing less a first round pick otherwise the Blues can get stuffed. As stated by many here, you have to pay oversto get a player who's in contract.

And club should not cave if he says he's homesick. He can see out his contract like Tim Kelly if Carlton don't give us a first rounder. Happy for him to do that in the NEAFL if he has a dummy spit.
2 1st Rounders for Paps or see out your contract then we can still play hard ball or he enters the PS draft
We need to keep him and Jones, 2 young guys hitting the right amount of games and age
All these Papley rumours sound like total and complete nonsense to me
