John Demonic

His pre game dackings really get the boys up n about.

Bang on. Hopefully they spare us (or just tone down) their critiques of other posters opinions on a new coach, list management and future direction too, given how wrong they've been on Goodwin.

NBA playoffs are heating up. Rockets v Lakers had far more entertaining ball movement than the Cairns dross that was served up. And then AFL finals with decent quality footy being played. Feel relieved that our season is over, no more let downs.

Is that a metaphor for the next few years? I wouldn't mind seeing Fyfe and Hogan in the finals challenging for a premiership. Beats every other club.

Sounds like our r22 clash in 2018.. nicnat, gaff, darling, Kennedy. ? The denialists still don't realise we've never been capable of beating a full strength premiership contender in the last few years.

And anyway, it was actually Adelaide that tanked that game and the points necessary to get WCE into the 8, and to get a higher pick for the eventual Lever trade

A neutral would prefer a WCE v WB 5v8. It will be close to embarrassing to knock off Freo & Ess and claim a final against the Eagles.

That is the most garbage fOoTy FrEnZy I've ever seen.

Tyson was worth a pick 25-35, Preuss a 30-40. I think Preuss reputation has grown and he's now a 25-30. Geelong are in a premiership window and will need to plug an immediate hole while they've got Hawkins, Danger and Selwood. They will be looking to use at least 1 first round for immediate impact. Now take into account the compromised draft and that's maybe 20 and 22 for Preuss and 26. That's a little overs, but not by much. Looking back, how much was Ottens worth and what did they actually pay for him? He was their missing piece, and one of the most valuable players on their premiership team. You'd do first round picks any day of the week to complete your list. Geelong will be desperate after richmond or WCE expose their ruck/Bliclavs circus.

Preuss and #21 for Geelongs two first rounders (WCE 1st from T Kelly trade) would be sweet. That's approx #15 and #17 imo They'll be desperate after Richmond's talls stretch them in the GF.

Tonight's main event is listening to Footyology and hearing Finey review his beloved Saints losing to a club he's potted all year. Hope he enjoyed Langdons performance who he has venomously derided our recruiting of.

You should've tipped them by 66. It's their only lucky number.

What we can get from Geelong for Preuss, has been a bit of a thought bubble this week and Nakia crossed my mind half way through the game last night while pondering the need for one more small forward/outside mid. We'd have to back ourselves to get him right of course. The Cats hopeful downfall this year at the expense of Richmond or WCE in the ruck, should give us the upper hand in having our needs met and getting overs through their desperation. We should wrangle one of their WCE T Kelly picks eg We'd give Preuss and Hawks 2nd approx #22, they'd give Cockatoo and pick 15 or 16. I don't like the idea of a straight player swap given the injury history. we should just do a straight swap for one of their 1st round picks. They should be looking to use 1 or 2 of their picks to fill immediate needs while they have Hawkins in the premiership window

I put us in the "Kept in it by poor Brisbane goalkicking and nearly snatched a win" category alongside the Saints.

Tbf many commenters were discussing Daniher after our WCE loss when Jackson did not look anywhere near ready and Tmac was in the side and not Weid for the first 5 or so matches. Our forward line looks much better now with Weid kicking 2 goals a game and Jackson settling into his role. Still would be nice to add another capable forward. If not Daniher, then someone like a Matt Taberner, who's having a great year with Freo.

Wagner is a defensive upgrade on Harmes

It's like the Nuremberg trials in here for the Wagners. Give them a [censored] chance.

If you don't pay it down the field, then every one will just push each kicker in the back every kick and reset their defence.

There was an unforgivable bit of play by the Dogs defender Gardiner today when he chopped the arms of Tmac and gave away a free. Everyone knows you just have to sit back and wait for Tom to drop the mark with both arms out stretched.

Maybe he was really only hired to be Goodys weights spotter in the gym?

I wonder if we can request it for the Adelaide Oval!!

If Bruce is their Kent Kingsley against us, then maybe Tom McDonald is ours against them.

If he wasn't named Harley Bennell, and we were just talking about some bloke from Freo with off field issues, injury problems and who is struggling for a game so badly that he's possibly being switched ends; there's no way this thread is going the way it is so far. ...

Thats a shame, we need more father/sons in red n blue

It was awhile back, but I recall nicknaming him "The Clamp" - His tackling was his best feature, they stuck. Probably why AVB mentioned him. I don't mind the idea @Rodney (Balls) Grinter , if he can do a lock down defensive job on a player that may be too tall for a Lochhart or a step ahead in pace now for Jetta, you'd put him in the team. Other players mentioned ahead of him are more your attacking half backs. He's too specialized unfortunately to not be depth. I have Smith and OMac as KPD cover. Hore as Lever cover, and Wagner and Jetta as Lockhart cover.
