The No T$ No B$ Thread
strangely....I've been there....lol.....wasnt all that warm that day from memory to tell the truth its a hop skip and a jump from a YHA I stayed at many many moons ago. I was broke...I made a deal with the manager to trade labour for lodgings ( and food ) I painted thebasement and stairs. A few others caught on to my deal. A certain Mary from Colorado ( funny what you remember ) did it to and decided to thank me . She took me out to dinner..A little cafe at the end of a lonG LONG pier in Halifax. I swear at one moment I was being set up and reminded me of a funny Get Smart episode.. Lapping water, deep fog, boats fog horns etc. quite surreal anyhow sat at table . No chairs matched not the cutlery. She ordered two house specials. Promptly two mugs of tea arrived. Followed by the biggest bowl of hand cut chips.I thought..Cool..Tea and chips...we were both pretty broke after all. Then Then Two plates with half a lobster each... It was the chepaest meal in Halifax...no lie . The lobsters were rejects. bashed shells etc Cafes restaurants wouldnt touch them and so this weird littel cafe bought them for next to nothing. I sent back a telegram ( htas how long ago ) to Dad... In Halifax...stop Broke..stop Forced to eat Lobster....stop please send money.....stop strangely none arrived !!!! LOL ALL TRUE !!

No its not HH...tfft huh Ironic that names likes Wines are noted There will always be some that do...of course. I don't think it's a stretch to suggest history would have us side with a thinking that goes to the notion its often more like 2-3 seasons before most show where they're heading. We can't keep having the teams age median so low. Cant have games average so low. As long as it is were underdogs and underdone. We need to recruit some ability and experience. ..and now or its a perpetual game of catch up footy and we never will.

Tom McDonald?
You hang on to...interesting desperative context... to whom ever only for as long as they are the best option. Im not suggesting shopping him around but youd be silly to never listen to offers.

Tom McDonald?
more laughable is that you not consider such outright.Good teams know when to move. Youve got blinkers on.

Tom McDonald?
not necessarily. Who knows how any trades evolve at a particular juncture. Mac needs a run with to finish off his workm Why not get players who dont. You know...improve. T mac would not be high on anyones replacement list and thats fair enough but to suggest hes " hands off" is laughable.

Tom McDonald?
of course he...for the right price, the right trade etc. He's good , hes not AA , he has flaws. Certainly not on the unreplacable list by any means.. That some are saying he needs a classier player alongside to give off to suggest we mightnt have the right player in the first place. Hes certainly amongst our best , but quite frankly were arent that good . I think ideals as "not for sale " need to be tempered with a realistic appreciation of where were are...or more the point where we're not.

This gives us NO immediate divend and for mine just conitnues this notion that kids are the salvation . Thery arent. They are part of a replenishmnet and regrowth but they are NOT the reason you will climb up a ladder. Given a decent fwd set up of sorts next year you dont want to starve them game after game. You need a really effective midfield and some depth to it. . Two more kids who might take anywhere from 2-4 seasons to get really going dont add to it , not in a hurry anyway. By all means get some new young blood but prioritise the recruiting of more Tysons , Vinces, Crosses etc. This immediately steps up the list. trade 3 and 4
