I wonder if Collingwood have got a money room?

Thinking of a visit Robbie?

Not if its Collingwood money, I'd feel unclean.

When we have Dawes ,Hogan and Clark up forward with Gawn resting there, we will be virtually unstoppable up forward.

This is what we have to sell to an A grade midfielder, in the hope of luring him across next year.

The thing about these guys is that they're all mobile talls. Whilst I think we'll eventually need a classy crumber (or two!) to go all the way, I think if we improve our midfield, that forwardline will certainly be capable of cracking the top 8.

 

Number 1 priority for 2014 - find an elite crumbing forward to feed off the Clark/Dawes/Hogan trio

and the game plan will be simple - move the ball as fast as possible and kick it in long every time

need to win the ball before the forward line even come into the equation.

We need top line mids (which is obvious i would have thought!)

Yep, DemonWA. Midfielders, midfielders and midfielders.

Incidentally, I'm not sure I believe that midfielders are easier to find than KPP, which seems to be the common perception. I know we've stuffed up a few selections, but I haven't seen an A grade MFC mid in my life time (25 years).

I think if we had won the flag in 2000, people would be more comfortable calling the gun on ballers from that era A grade (Woey, Yze etc).

But i get your point, lots of midfielders play AFL, but very few are 'A grade'

Woey was gone two years later and had one superb season with us. He was A grade for one season I reckon. While Yze was a great talent, but would go missing in big games. Had the skills and x-factor of the very best, but not the consistency IMO.

goal kicking mids who a naturals forward - LeCras

we can't afford to have a Milne... one dimensional. it hurts to be one dimensional in Grand Finals. Lyons weakness.

swift mids/half forwards who are excellent at sharking the spilled ball.

I would chase LeCras, or a Rory Sloane type.

I would love to have a one dimensional Milne that kicks 600 goals in 250 games for the MFC.


You are being trolled.

School holidays.

I must say I thought the same thing. Suddenly bursting into song after two years a member lol Although he does seem to have posted in two other threads. Seems to have read a bit of the Satyr though.

you wouldn't consider shane woewodin, adam yze, cameron bruce and travis jonstone at their best A grade?

New Poster - Fresh Meat - keyboards and vitriol at the ready

only if you come out all guns blazing, and anyone that does that I'm sure isn't the slightest bit bothered at having the ball hit back hard

you wouldn't consider shane woewodin, adam yze, cameron bruce and travis jonstone at their best A grade?

each individually, for moments, yes, but never consistently together did they combine as an A grade unit, not even close

...not me 'mjt'. would rather spend my money someone with a few more tricks, he doesn't do it in the big games.

Can't believe no-one has raised the issue of the MFC not having a boot room yet!! No wonder this club can't win games, what an absolute disgrace!

:)

I trust that was tongue in cheek ;-)))
