He counts on his teef!

And that's as far as he can count. Unless, of course, he counts illegitimate children.

 

clever.

And also, my statement that NSC's source/rumour is the worst posted on Demonland still stands.

Come on - at least it wasnt the bloke at the local servo!

How's this for a random event. The tradie that just came to my house claims we will pick up a 'big fish' and that Roos expect we will be much better placed.

lol, you know an Orca's not a fish right?

Or are you trying to say we're going to get something better than a 'big fish'?

I've heard we were getting a Whale....Brian "the Whale " Roberts

Actually, orcas are from the dolphin family. They are not whales.

Yep, if Garlo comes up for FA next year, we'd be crazy not to shop him around now. It fits the Roos FA principle.

I wouldn't trade Galand. Garland was excellent in 2013 and had an ordinary preseason this year. So we would be trading him at a trough in his value. And we will still get reasonable compensation for Garland next year anyway if he leaves as a RFA.

Personally I would like to see us go with a more skillful backline in 2015. I also think both Garland and Dunn are better when they are played on key forwards. So IMO we should trade McDonald for a midfielder (Greenwood/Toby Green) and run with a back six of Dunn, Garland, Howe, Lumumba, Vince and Jetta.

Said on sen we r now in talks with sauce.


Sauce?????

Ha ha ha ha!

top O' the food chain ??? I suspect

Sounds like the Barry Hall recruit for us. He's also apparently immune at the MRP so by all means go out and keep breaking noses while "spoiling" the ball.

I love that Roos is recruiting run and hardness into the team. I think we'll be physically tougher to play against next year, with much more defensive pressure to throw teams off kilter. Roos obviously learned a lot from Hawthorn demolishing Sydney with immense pressure, and this strategy echoes his thoughts from Monday: "The consistent theme with grand final winners is immense tackling and ball pressure."

Now we just need to recruit someone who can kick.

I really think we need to be looking at a midfielder with pace. That is something we are sorely lacking. Especially when we get the ball from defence to the midfield, there is literally no-one who has the speed to take the game on and deliver the ball. Hence why it is always stop start. (Also Roos instructed us to play that way aswell)

Midfielder with pace... who can kick. Blease has pace but can't kick.

Pick 3 for Sam Reid & Membrey?

Doesn't address our midfield problem but set's our talls in stone.


Yeah but he never ran both ways

Would leave Reid alone, he's bloody useless!

Membrey I rate though and reckon he's been bloody unlucky not to get a look in, would definitely bring him in!

I think you'll find there is no more FA compo after this year Tony. That back 6 you mention would be crushed by the big fwds of any of this year's top 6 teams, much too undersized. My understanding is that teams cannot trade players that re sign a new contract in the year of the trade period, which makes TMac not up for trade. Not 100% sure on that rule though.
