^ this Rumored superdraft ( not that rumors mean much ofc), and we cannot afford to become Norf. they went too early with top ups, something we cant afford to do. Experience IS required, especially if Lamumba, Dawes, Dunn etc leave/are pushed, but we should only trade out future first rounders if the deal is much better than could normally be expected ( Or fills a massive need ).

I am just sick of the waiting...... I mean, i know i have no choice, and we have a team of children who might actually become quite good, and we are better than last year, and we show potential, and, .... and..... I dont wanna wait any more. Im old and broken already and i cant afford the alcohol that i need to keep tuning in every week. This team makes me grumpy. And sometimes happy But mostly grumpy.

Agree 100%. Macka mightn't have the the best skill in the league (who could possibly argue), but the guy gives it everything he has. If only some of our more talented players gave the same effort...................

So you admit he had a choice. My point exactly. We are apparently throwing piles of cash up in the air to attract anyone who wants to grab it, and everyone else so far has said "no thanks". Here is a bloke who didnt say that. I repeat..... Welcome Jake

Irrelevant as far as im concerned. Now wearing our jumper so i will support him till his performances say otherwise. All a bit *meh, but im prepared to give him a shot before pouring on the hate.

He chose our club when most others wouldnt. (regardless of money/contract etc) Get around him. Welcome Jake.

Yes, but thats what i said in my previous post. We would both be taking a risk, but the simple fact that people would need to scratch their chin before deciding yes or no says to me that its a fair trade.

Did you mean Watts, Howe AND our pick 6, for Prestia and Bennell? ( +/_ second rounder) If so i could also be convinced, but i might even go as low as their 3rd rounder back as MFC at least know what we would be getting in that trade. And lets face it, unless pick 6 for them turns out to be a very good player, we would be in front easily.

I thought you have me on "Ignore" bloke .... lol Gotta give something to get something. That is as close to a fair trade as i could come up with. We get a player who is recovering from a serious injury, along with a player with MASSIVE talent, but questionable application, and the Coasters get a marketable high flyer (who incidentally i rate as being above average if he applied himself) and 2 high picks to replace the losses they have recently suffered. We both take risks, but also stand to be rewarded if things come off. Win-Win if ever there was a trade with those properties i reckon. The fact that peeps would pause before saying YES or NO makes me believe that it is realistic.

OK, so if we could convince Prestia to come to us, and he was happy to play alongside Bennell, would anyone consider Howe, along with our first and second round pick, for Bennell, Prestia and their second rounder? Actually it would probably take us accepting their 3rd rounder instead... that would give us Prestia, Bennell and pick 44 ish (before compo picks and assuming he is adamant he will give us his best) for Howe, pick 6 ish and pick 24 ? I would be very tempted as it would give us an immediate and large talent boost, for Howe and 2 speculative picks. Thoughts?
