dee-luded

it has both stmj hard culture starts with the basics of wanting to go at the opposition, to tackle, to hurt, to chase, etc... then from there, mental toughness comes into the picture, after the basics. concentration under pressure, focus, those bits need to be in the package. size/strength/weight is a bonus in this picture. but we need NOW with our main targets. if we get Stretch in Rnd 3? we need to make sure our early selections have the WANT to Go-Hard, & the Want to hurt opposition physically, & on the scoreboard as well. This is what I'm on about, the lightweights don't have the bodies yet, to hurt the oppo' physically yet. there are the odd exceptions to this. morton & bennell do not come to mind in this scenario. save the real outsiders for 2 Yrs time, where we can,,, Stretch accepted. build the Go-Hard attitudes Now, & let the current lollipop-man players go to Casey, or stay OFF our list. we do not need more 'only outside' types on our list...

agreed, & we don't have 2 yrs to develop their engines & body. Our needs are Now I think we'll try to trade a pick again, for player + pick; or trade 2 picks for 2 players. eg P-4 & P-23 + steak-knives, for shiel & tomlinson. I want Jaksch as well, somehow.

at least for 4 2 6 weeks, anywayz

cheerio WYL

not if E D mcguire has anything to do with proceedings

??? you mean were gunna win the Nab cup 2015 ?

& we could get Willie Nelson to sing about our years of pain & Premiership longing - Blue Eyes Cryin

All in good time bob, lets get the harder culture first. Add the skinny class later. But first change our soft culture ways. Stretch will do in Rnd 3.

hmmn, an Adelaide 'Blue Sky' do you think we'd have the resources to 'Mine' that Blue Sky?

the sky is blue, in my eyes anyway... fluid, prefer a low light blue myself, of the evening hue. wrong colour for bbo, not enough amber in it for him/her, not sure. sunset hues for shore daisy wants to know how to tax it, & make it work smart for him... robbie f; just wants to own it, but for others to pay for him to take it home with him. 'he deserves it in his eyes', so he's just taking it. eyebrows, working silently undercover behind the scenes, trying to turn the sky into a neck tie. a work in progress... ssshh. jkennett wants it cut up into pieces & sell it off to the highest bidders. fan thinks its so random & inefficient, it lacks logical skills, & its a bit slow, old school. could be smartened up somewhat. wyl wants it to pull its finger out & blow harder. except on washing day. human headline wants to look down on the angry sky, but just can't seem to get up to heaven to do so ??? wilbur wants to serenade it & rock it baby.... what he wants to do to it after, worries me.

Thats what I like about picket he has the go-go about him with the requisite Jeff Farmer take it on, have a go wayz. apparently from what I've read he'll chase like ADavey, but actually tackle & bulldog them down. strong overhead, & links up. sounds like he has the mental strength to take on big opponents. Reads like the Wiz. imo sounds a great little hff or wing, pushing up. I really want this kid. & the 'bloodline-dna', in Red'n'Blue.

Ahern sounds a similar description to Gysberts? is he any good? We need some pace & run, Picket & Laverde sound interesting options? I'd like to get a snippet of Lamb, re the creative type.

almost as Bad Ass as a Ling at school, almost...

may be like trade for a player + a pick scenario again...I hope 22 yr old plus another pick?

picket, lamb,

Well if true, that Treloar is unhappy & wants out, by all means, but I think Shiel will be more damaging player than Treloar, from the little I've seen of them anyway.

If I had P-2 or 3, followed by chippa compo, I would trade the first pick plus a player to get the deal over the line. Offering Danger dollars, goes without saying... $m5.2 over 4 Yrs front biased. the Crows will want a tall imo. Our 1st pick + a package from {Gawn, Watts, MJones, McKenzie, Toump, Evans, Blease, Jamar, Tapscott, Georgiou...), for Danger. ... if Frawls signed on, maybe they would entertain a trade of Chippa + Toumpas or Gawn, for Danger - plus their 3rd Rnd pick?

I think that is because its so strong & even. at least thru the top rounds. so this would make P-11 & P-15 stronger than other years, compared to P-4. also the focus has shifted away from the heavy bias to 18Yr olds, of past years.

this is what I'm trying to workout, we need to add something to P-4, to get P-9 & P-14/15 ? But if Dangerfield becomes an option, P-4 may be spoken 4... a le` Toump.

No, not with GWS. they are our salavation; burn them at our own peril. we can have a mutual benefit society, based on trust & win-wins. trash that & they will suitor other clubs... the $cully deal has turned for us atmo.

they say, Nicho has a great beep test.

IMO we can be patient with the 'Pres',,, as we improve & they plateau, which they will once in the top 6, then maybe we can strike a Blow on the fruiterer.

I don't get why people are talking about Treloar? Great player, but looks settled to me this year, where Shiel looks to be cruising in 3rd gear, looks to want out to me. Lets go after the ones we can get first. Shiel will be every bit as good or better once he's settled... then package in Jaksch; & also a deal for Tomlinson, not necessarily in this order. we need so many players to get to the top.
