Tram 74

Still worried about Hogan, Freo seem determined to get hold of pick 2 from Gold Coast and it concerns me It may be 2 and 5 for him.

Thanks, presumably Lamumba was after the final list lodgement?

Do we get to replace Garland or is like Lamimba last year?

Watts like everything else at MFC is being managed. If we don't win enough games to make the 8 this year was not meant to be. If we do and are near full strength we can beat any team on our day and may go all the way. Regardless, next year we will be better and will be assisted dy 1 or 2 free agents or similar.

No excuses, if we can't win this we are not good enough to be competitive in finals, this year,

Do you believe Ignition is his/her name? Looks like a sensible attempt to identify who is being responded to.

Not topic but I don't get on here much. Haven't read anything from Saty when I am on, has he left us?

Thanks for taking the time. I didn't realise there were that many over here.

I'm in Perth as you are and in peak hour traffic morning and night I pass a work ute painted red and blue with a logo in the rear window, just thought it may be you as there aren't a lot of us in Perth.

McQueen do you have one of the old Demon logos in the rear window of your truck/car /ute?

How did a Friday night game get allocated to Carlton and Port?

Being in front doesn't help. We led StKilda in a lot of our recent losses and lost convincingly. We need to make every game a 4 quarter game and we will begin to win more. Until then I share your anxiety roman. Sad isn't it.

Stkilda led by 23 points at quarter time last week and would have been a little smug in the huddle, they were badly hurt by their complacency. If Carlton are in front by any amount at quarter time on Sunday don't expect them to to suffer the same level of complacency and they can win. It can happen again, don't expect one game to dissolve all of our past sins. Having said that me and my boy are coming over from Perth to watch so we can't lose, can we??????

I like LG's use of Stretch in the backline and if it turns out Jetta is not out man we should consider pushing Stretch further back to take on the small forwards. I like Jetta and believe his one on one skills outweigh his deficiencies on the rebound. But if he is to be replaced Stretch has speed, disposal and discipline. Given the competition for spots in the midfield I reckon he would provide another (developing) asset deep back.

Paragraphs 4 and 5 Saty,,,,, did someone steal your full stop button?

The bloke on the right seems really happy to meet Goodwin.

If a recruiter earns his money at the end of round one why did we work so hard to get Oliver and Wiedeman last year?

Have you ever looked at the early history of No1 draft picks? You are not even close. Do some serious research.

No way they are all gone, there will be another 6 delisting next year. The deli stings this year had nothing left to offer, they were without exception the correct decisions. Accept it and move on.

Felt like making a speech? I have always considered Carlton and Gibbs soft and would not be at all surprised if he decided not to return.

How many senior players are permitted in 2017?

If there are only crap ruckman left we certainly do not want to pick the best one available. We still end up with a crap ruckman. We still have Spencer and believe that King will develop into a good back up but he will take time. Until that occurs if a better ruckman than Spencer can be targeted, who is happy to play second fiddle to Gawn then we pick him. That may take a year or two but we don't trade for an incompetent in the interim.

They may also have something in mind for next years first pick which would mean they wouldn't be able to use next years second. We may have to wait a while for their plans to play out.

Having re read your post I see what you mean.

You need to read the entire thread to comprehend. It's only about 4 posts. Reading anything on here in isolation will probably be confusing.
