Best outcome = Viney, Stringer, Dangerfield and First 17 Yr old

Worst outcome = Viney + 2 others of those

Lachie Whitfield, pick 2, pick 13 and Jack Viney.

The wooden spoon has never looked so good.

I don't know. Wooden spoons look pretty good with cookie dough all over them.

go for wood Dees. I like it!

Sadly the truth. But such is life.

"Such is life" :- can be caustic to those who embrace it!

All the cookie dough in the world has nothing on this particular wooden spoon.

Well then those "old people" better have a change of attitude soon. Especially inside a PUBLIC forum.

Well seriously I have said nowt for a couple of months but must you fook up every thread!

What person in their right mind would say no?

I think you'd find 18 clubs hassling him. The kid is universally respected, loved, and admired... How many players can you say that of?

Superstar. If we somehow got him, we'd suddenly be taken seriously. All with one signature.

You are right about 1 thing we do represent "sunshine" - "kids" love sunshine compared to your "darkness" - "kids" love positive feed back compared to constant Negativity - "kids" love playing with their mates in-front of big overenthusiastic crowds - "kids" in 2012 hold the power in AFL football 2012.

Some clubs have recognised this some clubs the "culture" is stuck in another era.

PS "kids" love the Internet - oh and they can read just FYI - but you go ahead and get rid of your ray of sunshine. Sorry we choose to speak a different language to our "kids" - the glass is half full & the "sun" will shine on the MCG again because we are prepared to invest in our "kids & their mates"

I hope you have relaxed a little overnight Mikey, yesterday seemed like a big day for you.

Nice post RR.

Would be a major asset in the midfield and could help take us to some extraordinary wins and seasons during the Neeld era.

Might make up for missing the Judster a little too and give us that extra hard edge and run through the middle.

Gotta go real hard on this one.

If there is even a wiff that he would look at coming back to Victoria then we must have a serious crack.

As an aside, does anyone else see the irony in Dr Who having a crack at our 'old culture' whilst adopting a pseudynom form a 1960's BBC sci-fi character. What a hip cat! Tells me he is a troll, just not a clever one.

Whatever happened to e25, Lutz & Artie Bucco?

Aren't Bucoo & the Dr one and the same?

Aren't Bucoo & the Dr one and the same?

If not they are certainly "Tasmanian related"!

No, e25/AB/KS/JM are not this troll. From what I can gather it is Hangon007 with a new pseudonym and a lack of respect for Demonland.

I would love Dangerfield just as much as the next person but believe Sylvia is a required player. I'm all for trading a pick and a player but we need to be mindful with our players 25 and over. With the imminent delisting of some of our seniors in the coming years we don't want to create a mature body void- we don't want to be in a position similar to what GC/GWS will be in when we have a list of predominately the same aged players. We will need a spread of youth and senior. As it is already we are pretty youth heavy. Plus I still think we can squeeze the best out of Sylvia.

Try the trade with excess youth. A Tapscott or a Petterd (probably not needed) could get it done.

But yes I support the sentiments of the thread. Go after Dangerfield and go after him hard. I have faith we can do it, we got Clark!

I get your point on Sylvia but to me he doesn't offer what a senior player should, he is senior in years only, not in mind.

Give the teacher Neeld some time to work with the troubled student and we might see some lifts in grades. He has already dished out one suspension, and I assure you if Sylvia is caught smoking on the oval or graffiting the boys toilets again he will serve a heftier suspension. The point is we don't expell him because he may just become an A grade student. A rambunctious A grader. Maybe.

Let us hope the new coaching staff will change that. He has only played the one game. Sylvia is the exact player we need to have a blinder tomorrow. Then we will know without doubt that the Neeld way is getting through.

It's a good point Strawb. My only problem is, where do you play him? He doesn't come across as an A grade anything position wise atm. Not saying he wont be A grade. He's had flashes of brilliance in a few odd games that's for sure. So i reckon if anyone's able to get to A grade in this team, apart from Jones & Mitch, it's Sylvia. Just trying to work out where he does that.

Can be a bit of a selfish player at times (goal hungry i mean).....so maybe FF is a good place to start? Mitch would have to move out to CHF, which i reckon he's been doing in small patches in some games anyway till now (or just being asked/pushing himself to play high from FF maybe).

Yep, Hangon came out last year prior to the draft, the DR is loving all the trade talks,

People got very sick of Hangon very quickly, this seems to be another habbit they share

I think Sylvia belongs in an attacking role, so I'd like to keep him around the forward half of centre, ala Chapman. He would do well to mould his game on Chappys. Can kick a long goal and has a nice kick. If he can improve his engine I would love to see him try to emulate a Dustin Martin on ball grunt position. Goal kicking mid. He has the tools to be this kind of player he just needs the application. I look forward to seeing what a season with the correct mindset can bring for ol Col

We should take him with pick 4 in the 2007 draft.

Oh wait.

pay him what ever it takes and offload a few players at the end of season

We should take him with pick 4 in the 2007 draft.

Oh wait.

We may have turned him into gellow.

It might be a better time too get a player like him Now. As we're heavily into building a hard ball regime.
