Redleg

Melksham’s effort and intensity was pathetic this year. Have no idea why he was not dropped.

That is very interesting, given why he left and continued problems at the Dockers. Wonder if the meeting was simply to say they investigated the possibility and he failed their due diligence.

Who? Never heard of him.

No surprises.

No problems, Jeff only played 36 games with the Dockers, so go to Dad's old team, with your brothers maybe, or risk the draft. It all only matters of course if the boys are AFL standard.

Certainly worth looking at. Couldn't be expensive as hardly played this year and Papley has committed to them long term.

Didn't know Goody had that big a family.

Would a photo of him having dinner with the Goodwins suffice?

Are you sorry like me, that you bothered to answer his post? Summed up his own posts accurately himself, in his response to mine” garbage”.

Well let’s analyse your post. Mismanagement: We contracted 3 players on the back of good years that all of us were desperate to keep. All were happy at the time. All clubs that sign players who lose form are clearly then mismanagers. Deceipt: We got a free agent who has a big tank and played mainly as a wingman. Now with us he is being used in other roles. Clearly the Pies were also deceitful when they recruited their best defender as a forward, but who proved better down back. Misjudgement: Lever, now playing well and doing what he was recruited for. Yes ,a good example of misjudgement.

Interesting considering they appear to have problems and still have Shiel, Merrett, Smith, Parish, Heppell, McGrath, Stringer and a few others who can play midfield.

You can still ditch the girls and booze and get back to the sherrin.

Who needs these hack journos when we have you? On another note, if we can move 6 -8 NQR players on either traded or delisted and get 1-2 best 22 players in, plus say a couple more, through trades or draft picks, who are either nearly best 22, or who can develop into best 22, we are a mile ahead. That sort of list movement then still allows some speculative selections later in the draft. I am a fan of less depth and more talent, even if it leaves you a little exposed to a bad injury run. IMO if they aren’t good enough, move a number of them on each year and try to improve the best 22 possibles deeper into the 20’s and maybe early 30’s.

ET are you suggesting Brown might come to us. First I have heard of it. You really are the trade news breaker supreme. Do you think we will keep Preuss and Hannan?

Oh those guys have gone already? I might try and buy an ice cream while the shop is closed too.

Yes, we could sign him to a contract that makes him become somebody else, other than the person he actually is.

Next you guys will be telling me that there is a welcome cocktail party for members of the Williams and Saad families, who are joining Visy, at their head office. Oh there is! Apparently the De Goey and Oliver families have been uninvited.

Sarcasm OD, have you forgotten what it looks like?

5 more kilos of muscle and we have a good player. Hit the weights hard Sam.

But he picked Gysberts instead of Talia and the short stocky player, whose name I forget, instead of everybody left in that draft, not to mention ignoring the boy who went at 3, for a mercenary transient and JT. The boy who went at 3 is playing this week for his third flag.

As an individual, who can blame him for wanting the best opportunities and to be back home, near your work. How many of us wouldn’t do the same? As a competition, which it is now not, it is a poor look and result.

There usually is, if you can find them. Smith came as a mature player from Ballarat In VFL if I recall correctly.

I suppose the 1% is if he isn’t, so as to not be wrong. Thanks for the info anyway, the rumours are great this tone of year.

Go hard for Ratugolea and Clark, who aren’t in their best 22 and Rat just got further away. Use Preuss in the deal to a minor extent and maybe Tom and to a lesser extent Oscar become interesting to the Giants.

Lynch says hello.
