Winner

a name for the board ? Roos, News and Views

With the likelihood of us actually ending up with 3 and 4, not very far fetched at and with history's page alerting all to what we're more than happy to do I'm betting there will be more than a couple of suitors

Agree with you re Jimmy. Im not having a go at him as such its just there might lay better value for him to return and they win , he wins ,WE win..All happy . Goes with my thinking also that Chips real value sits with his compo. Shiel and Dangerfiled would be amazing pickups...even just to get one keeps the midfield advancing and thats what needs to happen..We need to keep stepping up. My thinking simply revolves around thenotion that many are salivating at the possibility of EARLY picks and I dont hink we'll have them Why ? Roos doesnt work this way and I reckon hes is absolutely right. Reminds me of driving a brand new car out of the lot..Instant mega loss of value... its the same in reverse I reckon with early draft picks...they just arent really worth their hyped up status. Let others go that way and take the beefed up trade and run .

I like your thinking Certainly not against the notion of sending Toumpas home is all agreeable

Just as a hypothetical We finish exactly where we are 16th...lamentable but now seemingly probable ergo Pick 3 Chip takes the coin....we get pick 4 as compensation. oooh ...tasty lollies !! The way of the Roos is that a bird in the hard is two in the bush or actually a high pick is worth a known disenchanted or misunderstood player (possibly with go home syndrome ) plus a latter 1st round pick. Just humour me please fellow demonlanders Pick 3 and 4, yes both are traded for DECENT run in players with some pedigree and KNOWN ability . Also ,and its a bit of a game so I;ll proffer we might also still retain picks 12 and 18 ( somewhat arbitrary but had to pick something ) i.e maybe a late middle order Ist rounder and a late Ist rounder So again its all hypothetical ..Weve now got 2 non noobie Mids of good ability and picks 12 and 18 who do we pick, who is possibly still there or hidden ? I seriously think this is how we might go about it. Gives us something now and something later. Immediate boost to the mid field and something to develop and depth Who ?

We only agree A of b that there needs to be a balance redress. You seem to happily gloss over the cause.

Very good a of b ignore the gist and thrust . so be it. improving the best 22 IS done by getting ready mades and NOT perpetually gettinv kids who might be good one day possibly ( and yes I mean the likes of Toumpas ) We seemed hell bent on using high picks to bolstet the kiddy stocks going forward.. its a Munana edict. Roos believes otherwise and im with him. I agree a balance is desirable but I believe thats better achieved by actually having a team that CAN play and slowly introducing developed youngsters as opposed to this foolish notion that if you keep going for "elite" talented (?) Teens you MUST somehow raise the median of your list. The past has been every bit about collecting kids for rainy days and has been an abject failure and is why we're currently in the mess we're in.

So you do advocate trading and using latter picks. Funny thought that was the exact point I proposed

A of B My point..accepting yours is previous efforts have upset that balance. I would think Roos will try to use early picks for goid value workers and look for inspired selections a little later in the draft with picks we get back as change...etc. Balance would be nice. Scales need an almighty shove in other direction atm to even have a hope of that (balance)

Look at the different tac Roos has already taken compare the decade preceding.I fully expect him to continue that path if not ramp it up. Stkilda is just a total fukk up

If we end up with 2 early picks I think its bankable Roos will do another Tyson-esque trade deal. Might even do it with both picks. I would. Gives immediate impact. For mine its about improving the playing list..bettering the best 22 not collecting kids for a rainy day.

Winning IS everything. This club just gasnt cottoned on yet !!!

in a previous lifetime was mine too ...lol

or just dumped a non fiddleable ( if a word ) image. Just dont use explorer.

Not even a red and blue strip OD

Mr Rossignol asks to explain

Hey Daisy...any reason I cant PM you ?

youre an imposter supporter surely...lol

most likley

we're raiding the liquor cabinet as usual. where's the Banana essence gone..... damn it

lets hope

well....that was where id be looking to go also

Essentially Nut Id have to agree. It just makes me wonder. if we were able to spend less time fixing our f' ups and more time into our own fwd 50 this is when we'd start winning more and consistently.
