  1. I was pretty impressed with his first quarter and a half yesterday. Mind you, I nearly blew my nut when he ran to 55 with no one in front of him, only to pass it off. So much for his "trademark."
  2. If only Grimes wasn't such a shocking kick. If only Dunn wasn't 192 centimetres...
  3. Which is exactly what I've been saying... B) I think we're all on the same page, anyway. I still think Chris Johnson to Carlton for nothing was one of the better ones we've been involved in...Farmer for Phil Gilbert wasn't bad.
  4. If Matthew Whelan does not play 150 games it would be a disgrace. He's already suffered missing out on the 150 greats of the MFC, subdued to the likes of Paul Hopgood. If fit, he must play 2 more.
  5. at the game, impressed with colin. The club can feel vindicating in all their decisions surrounding him imo

    I WON A MULTI! Carlton and West Coast - I'm now $27 up after a year from $50 initial deposit.
  7. Yes, but they (in this case) gave up that player for a pick - a good one, something to be happy about. The fact they later recruited a player who has not turned out to be the impact player we'd hope for is not something to be happy about - a recruitment/development issue.
  8. Can someone who's not an emergency come in?
  9. I disagree. I think it'd be hard to look back and be happy about the recruitment, the trade would still be a success. Brisbane would have been happy to trade Wood for pick 14. They would not be happy about trading pick 14 for TJ
  10. Trading and recruiting are two separate issues. I suppose it depends who is taking control (if it's purely the person in charge of recruiting who conducts the trade/recruiting, which I would find unlikely, or if it is the entire FD). I do see your point though - however I feel that the idea of trading a player for a high draft pick (in order to get some more youth into the team, with a better chance of obtaining a quality one) is one issue, the recruitment of a quality player is another one. TBH, the progress of Dunn, Bell and to a lesser extent, Bate are more an indictment on our development processes than anything else.
  11. Because it was a success Titan. Trading Jolly for pick 15 was probably a success at the time, though could also be conceived as being fair enough. The use of that pick then becomes another issue as it is not part of the trade. And, of course, if that trade is considered a sucess, the Brisbane deal would be too. Trading an older, less capable in terms of attitude, player for a first round pick is a success. The fact we got Grimes is a separate issue, but should also be considered a roaring success.
  12. I'd have to agree Enforcer. 5 minutes I'll never get back, but some of the rubbish "Jeff" has written to other celebrities is laughable. Don't think that would be true. Can you check if anyone has written back? Because it doesn't seem like they have.
  13. Nah, you're right. Opening post. These things take ages to learn. There should be a sticky thread with the abbreviations used IMO.
  14. That's not really what the OP is talking about though Einstein. In my mind, it would remove the need to tank (at least so early).
  15. I think it wasn't though Jurrahtime. A rubbish player plus pick 65 would get us pick 14-20 how?
  16. Graham, please tell me the new Spurs shirt will not see Premier League action.
  17. I wouldn't get a game then Akum?
  18. If it wasn't SEN, I'd say he lost his job for being a moron.
  19. An insight into the Daniher era, isn't it.
