Mt. Dee-Maaan

i wonder what gaff would be thinking now the way we are starting to look.. pretty attractive option i would think ?

who would you rather have on the list la dee? darcy moore or jkh? or, let's just say, a mature-aged recruit from brissie or something? surely, if moore only cost a late rounder or something, we'd bite.

i wouldn't laugh dan, but he seems surplus to our requirements.. i reckon we have other priorities anyway. but if he's going cheap, why not?

oh yeah? and what's that?..

nahhh.. too much of a front-runner for me ?

purely hypothetically.. if trading weideman meant we could get gaff, would you do it? with gaff i reckon we'd be top four and really pushing for a flag. i think weideman is too important personally. he'll come good. could be on the cards though if the club gets aggressive and looks for a flag ASAP instead of in 3-4 years time..

i agree, but as everyone on this sites whines about how its fine we are on masterchef, surely we can sign our current crop as well as look at outside players (literally) to join the club? i'm sure the club is more than capable these days to juggle some balls..

you wouldn't be the CEO of a major company/a Liberal party member would you by chance?..

nah, i think my kind are often referred to as 'SJW's". good joke but.

let's just agree to disagree.. at the end of the day, it doesn't really offend me that they were on this shitty show, i just don't see it as a positive. as someone from northern nsw, if you think that people from the northern states will tune in to watch the dees v blues game as a result of the show, or even think of the dees again in their lives, you are delusional. but that's ok, it's a forum and can all have our own opinions ?

the connection is, you don't deserve attention until you've earned it. we haven't. and the club seems to intent on pushing the 'image' before we've even got a clear idea of what we are on the field.

this is the kinda [censored] that makes the general public ask if we are getting ahead of ourselves.. who cares about exposure?! get exposure by playing a tough, exciting brand of football!!! jayzus!

i acknowledge that he's been a lot more reliable of late and his extra bulk means that he is no longer a pushover against most forwards.. HOWEVER, he is still super slow in his decision-making and is rubbish below his waist. as soon as the ball goes to ground he's done. he gets into weird positions during congestion in the back half too. so he's definitely not out of the woods yet, but yes, much much better these days and lots to work with!

uhh.. oliver, petracca, viney..

after listening to the mfc podcast, peter jackson seems to think that we could accomodate a 'big fish' if they chose to come along to us at the end of the year.. exciting prospect.

mate. i was referring to picking wines up in the future. not in a previous draft. he can join our current boys.

just imagine viney and wines pushing each other in the midfield..then add oliver and petracca. i think the dees should move heaven and highwater to get ollie.

care to elaborate dee?

Position: 6th Improvers: ANB, Hogan, Sliders: Vince, T-Mac, Stretch. i'd say O-Mac too, but he's pretty meh already... He'll slide to Casey & Petty'll take his spot (hopefully sooner rather than later). Darkhorse: Spargo

i see a bit of sam mitchell too. clever, tough and good skills in close..

already coming round to this kid...could be the fourth furphy though. definitely rather him in the side than o-mac.. and maybe even frost by the end of 2018/9. he looks good. would've liked garner or houlahan though. annoyed the bombers took houlahan. grrrrr. he'll be a player!

i'd be pretty happy on ling or this bloke at 29.

apart from speed seems to have pretty average skills.. there's gotta be other options out there. i'd be disappointed if they go for him.

someone on the lever thread suggested that we might trade pick 27/35 and watts to someone to get back into the first round.. i'd be stoked to do that. even if it's next year's first round. otherwise, we need run/good disposal.

cheers mate! i have a hunch the footy dept have something planned (i.e. nabbing a first rounder) and haven't followed the draftees so closely this year. i'll keep an eye out for the blokes you mentioned..
