Bring-Back-Powell

Read the other day that Gold Coast are in the process of finalising a long term contract with Swallow.

Cops a heap on this website, some warranted. But at the end of the day he's had a couple of top best and fairest placings in a row and has given quite good service down back. Be interesting if Roos has Dunn in his best 22.

I actually reckon Rodan gave us more in less games than Byrnes did. I'm prepared to give him the first month in the seniors next year due to his experience, but if he stinks it up again, then it's Casey for the rest of the year.

He's not the greatest player going around but he's still better than about 30 of the turkeys running around for the mfc.

Ill be doing cartwheels if we have Gold Coast like improvement. 6 wins with a percentage of 80 and Roos would've earnt every cent, in 12 months.

We need to do better than having Brynes as out number 1 small forward.

Him and Kent need to work on their set shots.

I reckon if a player isn't being talked about on demonland, it means he must be doing something right!

Bennell could be All Australian by 2016. The bloke reeks of talent and the MFC have cocked up yet another...

Hawthorn are pricks to deal with at trade time. They'd demand a first round draft pick and a player in return for Savage. Yet if the shoe was on the other foot and they wanted Frawley, they'd probably think a swap of fourth round draft picks would be fair.

Anyone see hogans first nab cup outing v north? Anyone see that snap goal from the boundary and he didn't even celebrate it. Arrogance and class!

Geez I hope you're right Dazzler. This kid has the potential of being the best player of all time

If we can land Cross, a fit and healthy Jolly and an exciting midfielder from another club (Swallow, Adams, Douglas etc..)ill be happy. Under a proper coach I see so much improvement from our existing list. For some reason ill see it as a negative if Jones wins another bluey. It will have meant none of our midfielders have stepped up.

I see a bit in Toumpas unlike most of the scribes in this thread. His first 5 or so games under Neeld were a complete write off. The kid had no idea what he was doing. But under Craig I saw something. I saw a young player that had a bit of time before distribution of footy, I saw a mid that made some smart decisions, unlike most of the mfc turkeys that ran around. If anyone watched the last game of the year v bulldogs they would've seen the most immaculate inside 50 pass from Toumpas to Dunn in that last qtr. I honestly see something in Toumpas. I see a footballer that has an extra few seconds to distribute a nice possession.

If you think about it, getting Paul Roos and Peter Jackson were kind of like our priority pick and to demand a pick on top of this is a bit greedy. That being said I hope we get one but life moves in if we don't.

Can someone please confirm what the big deal about Adams is? Apart from being charged with serious assault in a pub and getting a couple of 20 possession games, what has he done in his career to suggest he's going to be the next big thing.

Adams has plenty of off field baggage. Was charged with assault in a pub circa 2012. You could technically argue that Adams is more of an issue than Martin given that Martin hasn't got a criminal record that I know of.

Gysberts had been nominated twice for the NAB Rising Star and got 3 votes in a win over Essendon. Just sayin...

Swallow. Was touted as being capable of being the best player of all time. Martin and Adams are huge risks as both have perceived poor characters. http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-premiership/greater-western-sydney-giants-player-taylor-adams-charged-with-assault-over-incident-in-january/story-e6frf3e3-1226339153730

Good news. We need to be rid of the 12-13 era

I think these threads should be done in December after the drafts, trades and free agent periods.

Starting to get the feeling we won't get one. Sauce - Damien Barratt

I would say we'll be worse than St Kilda, only because I'm used to disappointment.

The only positive about having Jamar and Jolly on the same list is that at least you'll know we'll probably have at least one bona-fide first ruckman available in most or all games next year, rather than relying on Spencer of Gawn. I'd be filthy if both Jamar and Jolly were only available for 3 or 4 games.

I'm all for getting Jolly on the proviso that we can get rid of Jamar who plays about 7 games a year these days.
