whatwhat say what

ratkins is going to gc17 so forget him not sure how much room we can in our cap to entice the likes of williams in without shedding one - or more - of viney, brayshaw, and t mac in an ideal world we'd be adding at least two of williams, witherden, polec, cumming, narkle

i don't see either crouch as skilled or fast

can't see us getting close to gw$ regardless of how trash they've looked for the majority of this season god i hate that franchise

i only know a few - whereas it feels like every second person i know goes for the filth - but they just constantly rag on their players; castagna and rioli cop a lot of heat, as does jack riewoldt this year i tell them to just ENJOY being a powerhouse i think they're terrified they're not going to win and really cement their dynasty

they are really very, very good yet their supporters that i know still do nothing else but criticise sigh it must be so nice to go for a side that is genuinely GOOD

also, is bartlett any less melbourne than peggy is richmond? she moved to melbourne from overseas and adopted a local team; so did bartlett (if you consider wa another country, not another planet), except he had a bit of a football background every time i have heard him speak he sounds passionate about us

pretty much agree with everything you said as far as i can tell the board and admin are doing a stellar job footy dept needs to lift i do wonder, what is the investment in football in 2020 as opposed to 2017?

Great effort from the supporters, the members, the admin Footy dept letting the whole show down! They look great and good to hear all names are present and accounted for

tigers are just so good should be triple premiership team but they got big cox'd in 2018 could get that third premiership this year

stuart dew is rated pretty highly and prefers others to wright, who has been fit all year and can't get a run in the gc17 side cos he's slow, timid, and doesn't work near hard enough

Nothing in there remotely surprised me Smith has been angling to be on the board for some time

if we jettison both then our inside mids will need a complete rebuild

so will he come back even slower?

my mfcss is kicking in when things are glum there's worse to come!

everything was in the aints' favour and they still couldn't get the job done like ever other team ranked 6-13, including us, they're pretenders in 2020

not sure it's the same case when it's a free agency like crouch or viney - generally those conversations start up to 18 months out may was pre-agency, so it made sense that he moved when he did i wouldn't want either crouch while we have all of oliver, petracca, viney, brayshaw, harmes, and sparrow

reminds me of paul johnson i don't rate him and i believe he's on significant coin; if we were to chase him it'd be for a replacement of t mac

i don't see why he wouldn't pick us he's an outside player looking for a new team; we're crying out for his type, and he would get plenty of opportunities with us i can't actually seeing him being worth much - he seems to be constantly breaking down and when fit is unable to force his way into geelong's 22 third / fourth rounder? geelong hardly need the picks tho narkle and one of their first round picks for viney, when we match whatever they're offering him and 'force' the trade?

not a huge amount seeing as he was in a one- or two-year contract

these things don't just pop up overnight if cats are actually after him, they probably approached him in 2019

possibly only in their assigned 'groups'

In the fortunate position that he’s contracted so he needs a big preseason ahead of 2021

this the top 5 look like premiership contenders, but both the bears and meth coke are currently beset by serious injury (gov did him hammy for the latter tonight), while all the teams 6-13 are pretenders, freo and sydney are rebuilding and capable but not consistent, while the bottom three of crows, kangas, and hawks are pretty ordinary too many teams, too many ordinary footballers

i actually don't mind shortened quarters but, really, i would also not opposed massively reduced interchange allowance and 16-6 as opposed to 18-4 line-ups ultimately, this is wholly and solely about players not being willing to take pay cuts

wants a small fortune has completely failed to impose himself on the game in 2020; he's hardly alone there among key forwards
