whatwhat say what

nailed the slobbo

yeah, but his unwillingness to work hard is a major barrier be interesting to see what the crows do at the end of the season - if i was them and a big offer came in for brad crouch, i'd let him walk; likelihood is they'd get a straight after their round 1 compo pick to replace him, which means they could hold two of the top five picks in the draft

worked in the footy industry for over a decade

fogarty is super lazy in terms of his intensity and training efforts needs to work a helluva lot harder on and off the track probably the worst thing that happened to him was getting drafted by the crows; needed to get outta homebase

he doesn't get near the ball enough for mine crows list is pretty slim pickings to be honest ten players will be 28 before the season is out, so you wouldn't touch them straight away, the next group of age group 23-27 includes the likes of brad crouch as an rfa who - seemingly foolishly - thought last year he was a $1m a year player and his brother, neither of whom would help us out overly i'm a big fan of rory laird, but rory atkins? jake kelly? riley knight? meh some of their 23 and unders are pretty okay; they signed wayne milera up to a decent deal last year, i think it was, while elliott himmelberg is out of contract at the end of this season and would definitely be worth having a sniff at, at 22 years of age and 198cm / 96kg key forward prospect but you'd imagine they'd see frampton (comes alive!) and himmelberg as their future key forwards along with fogarty as the third tall - he's going to need to get a lot fitter to play that role tho fish mcasey looks a talent but is super raw

i heard something recently where they said this draft isn't particularly good and is completely diluted due to all the academy and nga selections they also said that next year and the year after are REALLY low in quality - the u/16s national championships last year was apparently bereft of quality it's funny; it used to be that every year the experts would talk the drafts up about the quality coming through...but that hasn't happened for the last couple of years i'm fine with trading out of this year's draft to secure pickett fwiw

reckon most players from the past would find ways to adapt to the modern game they were the best in the country playing in 12 team competitions; as if they wouldn't be in the best in the 18-team one we have now

i reckon garry lyon would be a big-bodied mid a la fyfe / cripps / dangerfield in the modern game neitz would be a classic stay at home defender, and schwarz would be (pre-ox) just as exciting as he was in his pomp jakovich would have to be a helluva fitter in modern times, but his nearest equivalent would probably be stevie johnson? and even he has been retired for nearly five years

when all these hot new things have had as good a start to their careers as oliver then we might be able to compare / contrast can't wait to see our bloodnut go head to head with gc17's one

i would hope that we're somewhere between 6-14th with the potential to push up into the top 6 with a bit of luck, and to drop into the bottom tier without any essentially we're somewhere between a 1st to 18th ranked side

caracella has stated previously that he doesn't want the senior role - happy to be the primary assistant he'll be at the peptides for some time setting up their mids beautifully, the rotten so-and-so, much as he has the tigers, and the cats, and the filth before that

this i was super keen on dew - had played in premierships under choco and then clarko, and had served a fine apprenticeship under roos' successor, longmire, including being in the box for the 2012 premiership but everyone knew melbourne's list was stuffed and why would you go there when yr role as an assistant saw you play finals on a regular basis? assistants at successful clubs often get the push to take on a main gig - it's why rutten and caracella were chased so hard by the peptides, and it wouldn't surprise me in the least to see adam kingsley the next cab off the hardwick's assistant line

bombers mate of mine reckons dees need to call a wahhhhhhhmbulance such is our complaining when she spotted this i told her to go inject a virus

agreed

break glass in case of emergency player

even gerard whateley was asking whether it should be a forfeit and 4 points for the dees today you know it won't happen in terms of importance to the afl, peptides >>>>>>> demons

it seems to me that tomlinson is set to be our #2 ruck, especially with these shorter quarters and gawn's excellent fitness i am very, very interested to see how the forward line works going forward with that one tall and a host of mid-sizers and small pickett and bennell is potentially VERY exciting B: Jetta - May - Smith HB: Salem - Lever - Harmes C : Langdon - Petracca - Hannan HF: Melksham - T Mac - Bennell F: Hunt - Fritsch - Pickett Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Viney I/c: Brayshaw - Tomlinson - AVB - Rivers B: Lockhart - O Mac - Hore HB: Chandler - Petty - Hibberd C : Dunkley - Jones - C Wagner HF: ANB - Weideman - Spargo F: Jackson - Brown - Bedford Foll: Preuss - Sparrow - Jordon I/c: Baker - J Wagner - Bradtke not considered - kk, nietschke

one thing that stuck out to me was that gus brayshaw wasn't wearing a helmet - so how seriously were the players and club taking it? it was dancing with our sister... of course, he also had two direct goal assists from hitting targets i50, so miracles will never cease!

cool, i have no dramas about this from now on, it's a simple solution - we train at the mcg

no

and

max in the 'post-match' presser: "it just felt like a normal game only with no big screen...which is probably why christian played well cos normally he looks at the big screen" hahahaha which chistian? i mean, i presume trac but...salem with his tints........ i can completely understand the team selection based upon watching that highlights package again having hannan, hunt, pickett and bennell in our forward line alongside t mac, fritsch as marking targets plus milkshake and avb bustling around COULD work t mac is a big leading boy - his pass to fritsch for goal was clean, and he was involved in one other scoring chain if bennell and pickett get going it's going to be FUN to watch

5aa talk back must be going off

crows look devoid of 'spirit', whatever that intangible may mean

never forget, they're FRANCHISES not clubs
