  1. You know it's November... Just ignore and move on if you don't like something on here. If it's offensive enough, the ohsoevil mods will remove it. And we are going to have our injokes. As if there is anything wrong with that.
  2. You are right, but that is the way it is going. Later and later contract decisions for fringeplayers/possible delistees. October would not be a fun month for those types. I can see the introduction of the US system of taking in FA and the Draft more players than you have spots on the list and then having a few players that were undrafted come in aswell on short contracts and then they all fight for the last few spots like a testosterone filled game of musical chairs...
  3. I didn't know mentioning Daniel Breese was so offensive... If you are on the Internets and you take offence at needling...
  4. No mine are higher. rpfc: I expect to win 8 games. wyl: Well I expect to make finals. rpfc: [scoff] I expect a top 4 finish next year. wyl: That's nothing! I expect to see Roos during GF parade! rpfc: Expecting a loss then hey!? I expect to see Roos at Melbourne Park after the game with the cup! wyl: Looking small?! I expect to see Roos at the Oscars with the cup running his impressive naked rig up and down the aisles! rpfc: I could think bigger with my head in a thimble! Roos WINS an Oscar FOR running his impressive naked rig up and down the aisles and then wards off an invasion from a rogue Asgardian fleet with help from a fire-breathing Jack Watts, an invisible Jesse Hogan, and Jack Trengove whose power seems to be time manangement!
  5. Please point to me making excuses. You are an outrage [censored]. You just want to be the bloke that is THE MOST [censored] off for THE LONGEST amount of time, and have THE HIGHEST expectations over and above the high expectations we all have. I have tracked our terrible drafting in thread after thread dating back to 1999. It is the major reason we are in this mire - we look to be making better choices and it has to continue but mistakes will be made, we have had our share so hopefully we can get on a bit of a run but we are going to miss with a few just like any club would and have.
  6. lol We are going to make mistakes. If being flawless were a prerequisite for progress - no-one would have accomplished anything ever. Just get of the horse, wyl. You are embarrassing yourself.
  7. You had to post this when the Like button is down. This here? This is the reason we need that button back.
  8. LIKE. HBF is the easiest position to play in the whole world ever. Ball in your vicinity gets sucked toward the CHF not the bloke you are on, and when it is in the hands of anyone in your team across half back, you just look for the ball out the back or in space as the HFF is either lazy or zoned off. It is the perfect spot to gain some confidence at AFL level.
  9. If you are in charge, get Google Chrome.
  10. I guess that depends how we go in Rd 23...
  11. The PSD is quickly becoming irrelevant an I expect there to be only a couple of players picked on the 27th if any. According to the 'passes' in the ND the following clubs have Primary List spots available: GWS (5), Syd (2), Carl (2), Rich (2), and Coll (1). Most of those clubs will only have 38 players on their primary list because of salary cap pressures: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-11-22/swans-38player-strategy The order at this stage (this will change with any more deletions): GWS, Coll, Rich, Carl, Syd, GWS, Rich, Carl, Syd, GWS, GWS, GWS. It will be interesting to see how relevant the PSD is come this Wednesday...
  12. I don't think Salem will play Rd 1. JKH would a slim chance but more of a chance than Salem IMO.

Petracca, Brayshaw, Neal-Bullen, and O McDonald added at the ND.
  14. I wouldn't be surprised if Toumpas and Salem both spend their first few years off a HBF before moving into the midfield. We have thrown the kids in there because we have been negligent with our midfield recruits but having Jones, Jones, McKenzie, Grimes, Vince, Cross, Tyson, Viney, Watts, Trengove, Blease, Evans, and Howe ahead of Salem means that we can bring the kids in when they can cope better.
  15. Jeez, Billy... He won't just be asked to play small forward though, he will have to move into the rotation and from reports he was comfortable doing that. Seems incredibly mature for a draftee and as I said, is at uni already, I think he is a small chance to start Rd 1 if he stays injury free. 2014 rpfc Prediction: 8 games ave 8 K, 3 H, 2 M, 1 G, 3 T.
  16. He's got zip and confidence from that package. The chances of someone this deep in the draft making it are slim. I hope we can get a glimpse in the NAB Cup.
  17. We had a chance. Didn't take it. Move on.
  18. We have had Molan, Bell, and Smith. I have only looked at the raw numbers but if I am bored on the weekend I will attach teams to them. And bing - those numbers are correct - however, if I went to 150 games the number jumps to half. The drop off after around Pick 25 is startling - I will try to illustrate it properly when I have time (and find the right graph).
  19. Nah, don't need a dislike button. Fragile egos and all that.
