The Please Don't Recruit Him Thread

Nathan Vardy.

Freo?

Doubt it...

[Coq au vin 755]

Unfortunately Ernest, it's our lack of brilliance, particularly in the backline, that is hurting us. We seriously need some class and creativity in the backline, and Yarran can provide that. The way he is playing at Carlton/Northern Blues is not too dissimilar to Garlett. You can tell that he doesn't want to be there, and that will drive his price down.

I can remember a time not so long ago when Garlett and Yarran were the envy of most other clubs as fast exciting players. I could see that happening again. Especially if they were together again creating magic.

[Skuit 10,031]

Aish. And I say that as an absolute worshipper of his blood-line and believe he'll become a handy footballer in time. Just don't want it to be our time and money impatiently angsting for it to eventually happen. Wrong time, wrong place.

[M C 221]

1) Tom Lynch

2) Players who cannot break into their current sides like Michie, Riley and Newton

Unless they're from GWS?

[Wiseblood 24,637]

For those who don't want Yarran, and I'm one of them, I want you to pray to any God you believe in that he ends up at the Tigers. He is just the sort of player who will make enough laughable mistakes and cost the Tigers enough games to keep many in the league very, very happy.

Do it Chris. Do us all a favour and head to Tigerland.

Get a strong sense from their own mob that if Motlop moves it may be to Punt Rd. Would they take both?

[deeko 952]

Yarran is an interesting case. Has talent to burn and maybe in the right environment could flourish again. Look how Jeffy has become a favourite quite quickly.

Would rather Roos take a punt and try to develop someone who has pace, aggression and skill then someone who only possesses one of the three attributes.

Would rather him on our list than Michie or Newton.

Funny, cos Geelong think it's them or Adelaide, based on what Motlop says he wants.

[Skuit 10,031]

I dare say you know a great deal more than me Mach. Like actual facts. And that's consistent with what I've read. Just a couple comments from Tigers' players recently that suggested they knew the club were after him and there was more than just hope. Probably reading into the tea-leaves it too much.

[Biffen 12,949]

Nathan Vardy.

Heffernan

[DistrACTION Jackson 10,425]

Phil Read

[dee-luded 2,959]

Steffaan, let him go to the pies, he can join Rene Kink in business there.... & maybe we could then grab Brodie Grundy down the track.

[Roger Mellie 4,179]

Lachie Plowman

Yes Yes and Yes, Yarran fired up and focused is a matchwinner! Much better than Newton and Michie combined!!! A giant Tick from me!

Darren Gasper...

Stevie J

Stevie J

Or any of the other veteran cats about to be shunted

[deespicable me 1,579]

I prefer Salem running off half back to Yarran. Salem will hopefully be a much better footballer than Yarran, and I rate Yarran.

Save the money and give it to Salem when he's got a couple more pre-seasons under his belt.

Keep developing our own talent.

Matthew Stokes

[samcantstandya 1,068]

I hope we don't recruit any more 29+ players that are past their prime and are after a retirement stint would rather risk young talent.

[TGR 1,367]

Stokes. FGS, a very average player that was lifted in a decent team.

[TGR 1,367]

Matt Suckling - More style than substance.

Luke Breust would kick 13 goals as a permanent in our forward line.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Matt Suckling - More style than substance.

Biggest downhill skier I've ever seen.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,110]

Stokes and Kelly from Geelong. Neither would be of any real benefit to our team.
