whatwhat say what

some significant injuries there, with greene probably in their top three most talented players, and simpson has been vital to their good form for the back half of this year

Eight weeks, meth coke knocked out in straight sets in the finals, Gaff to the Dees, misses round one and two before debuting in Round 3 against...Freo at the new Perth Stadium?

$1m a year is not a huge imposition for one of the best mids in the game imo he'd not even be 31 and a half when a 5 year deal would expire

no worries - 5 x $1m > 6 x $800k

if results go our way we could third be this by the end of the weekend: tigers - good start peptides (50-50) bears (outside chance) cows (50-50) aints (irrelevant) swannies (50-50) carltank (extrezzo unlikely) us, obviously (if we don't beat gc17 at the g we don't deserve to play in finals) shockers (unlikely, but a possibility) a more likely result would see us 5th or 6th at the end of the round, with us, gw$ and meth coke near monties to win, and the future tasmania, poos&wees, the pear, and the filth all getting up i want to win all remaining games pls

speaking to a stats boffin yesterday, he said he was amazed fritsch was allowed to slide into the (early) 30s i guess the likes of he and tim kelly have shown that if you are talented and dedicated you can pick the eyes out of the draft with any pick at any level

not gonna happen

Gone for this year at least you would think Serious concern for his long term playing fortunes

add melksham to this list, apparently, with a hamstring

isn't he always...

perhaps this is part of the reason we and a bunch of other clubs were so keen on him: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-07-31/lack-of-ruckmen-could-leave-clubs-short

may is a liability because he gets suspended at least once a year 5 weeks last year, from memory, and already a couple this year he's a thug, yet a thug that will cost a team high picks: moore - from pies to sydney for pick 10ish may - from gc17 to pies for pick 10, second rounder pick 2 - from gc17 to adelaide for a fringe player, pick 8 and whatever our pick ends up being (say pick 12-14ish) lynch - to richmond as a free agent, gc17 get pick 2 as compo carlton will pick walsh with pick 1 and crows will get lukosious with pick 2 gc17 will hold picks 2, 8, 10, and pick 12-14ish and be granted a compo at the end of their first round for being appalling (brisbane got previously; afl will always protect their northern states investments) as well as two second round picks - they already traded their own to freo as part of the weller trade they're in complete re-build mode

jesse has been carrying a bung shoulder since the first win against the dogs, i think? part of the reason he's only going up one-handed at most contests he also copped a hip flexor injury against the cats and wrenched his knee against the crows - which is why he can't jump at the ball and presumably is why he's playing from behind all the time he doesn't need a rest; he just needs management you do not 'rest' your best players when there's four weeks to go in the season and you're fighting for a spot in the 8

He’s had a bung shoulder since the Footscray game two or so months ago, copped a hip flexor against the Cats last week, wrenched his knee against the Crows, apparently had gastro during the week - and is still running fifth in the Coleman, copping two players on him during most contests, and was integral to the last piece of play where ANB kicked the sealer

Ah, righto - I thought you intimating he was finished at afl level Whats he worth? Fourth rounder?

No one willing to give him a second chance?

it's weird that at the same time that there's all this talk about how the afl must raise the player draft age that they're doing nothing to encourage the likes of the next kelly and fritsch et al to these glorified testing camps

Thread delivers(e)

chris lamb mk 2 big and slow - not made for modern football the new netball rules coming in next year may help the likes of him, but you don't need 'gorilla defenders' in modern footy with the way zoning defence works...or in our case, doesn't

meh massive mistake moving on...

Miles is another NQR I reckon - not sure he’d replace anyone as an inside mid for us

2018 season career averages:

except of course that he's 'in' at the moment

yes, he really is that slow his kicking is up and under and he doesn't hit the scoreboard he wouldn't improve our side one iota

He’ll be 31 next year, can’t get a game for the Saints, is slower than both Vince and Lewis... I hope we don’t go anywhere near him personally
