ah yes......that would be around............Trade Week !!! ( just poking fun ) tis nice to have even the 'idea' of positive news cheers

If Dawes plays to instructions then either they are wrong or misunderstood.

Cam ; despite our combined reservations over the years , has proven competent. Not magical. ..not brilliant. ..not 'a'....but adequate. He's handy.

which was ? Humour us old fartz

I was merely suggestinv how foolish the media are. Not having a go at yoyrself.My point is simply...the dynamics of lists now as compared to final lodgement can be quite different. Ours will be

It a bit like Trash and Treasure

Those that suggest Toumoas has no or little trade value then must ask why ? Those that say he is potential unrealised must accept another club might think this also. The MFC is in all likelihood fielding any interest. I would be too.

Gws..before or after this trade/ draft ? I seriously wouldn't put Saints ahead of us. GC ?..Again after trade ???

just made mine

We've been patient with Watts...and hes still not there. We're so enamoured we've shopped him and no takers. This is the reason we should persist also with Toumpas ? Haven't sold me !!

not being smart alec here but there is the converse.The fear of success. Its very real and often stops people from taking risks or stepping up. Kyosaki mentions it often in his scribblings. For some a pseudo comfort zone is near enough

This team will ( hopefully ) grow and the camaraderie will bite deep ( I think) These young lads will see a window and sense the history and will want to hold that cup up. I honestly cant see Jesse going anywhere if we do indeed start to climb the ladder. It will become infectious

I wonder how many of the 17 would still be thinking he's worth a crack. They have their chance now

some take a lifetime to get over a fear of failure....bit late then...just saying

Ive deleted the other stuff...irrelevant The remaining however is of great intrigue because it does beg the question ...why ? ( not ) I must confess, if he goes he goes. If he stays and has a solid preseason and gets his mojo happening hes a handy player..I do however put Colin in a group ( for mine ) of players who I wouldn't describe as core elements of or growth going forward. They can have roles, of course, but aren't essential ( nor irreplaceable ) But that question certainly has my curiosity

17 other clubs might get their second chance

didnt want to disappoint !!

Wiseblood Id dare say we could find "good" footage and "poor " footage and a lot in between. When he's on he's on...; sometimes hes that horrible second behind the play. I like him when he fit and raring.. he's a bit like tapioca otherwise. Am hoping he enjoys a solid preseason and comes out firing

Dunno GFC was all over the press in the States !!

Im really not too sure what to make of ol Garlo but something akin to Wreckers and HT trains of thought seems close. I dont think moving him on is any priority for the FD who obviously rate him in his role. A full preseason may see Colin regain a bit more form. I find him a bit of an enigma to tell the truth.

Prior to that draft I rather liked Freeman. I still think he'll make more than a decent player, IF he can put away his injuries. I think StKilda are simply doing what they must.,......go shopping where they can and try to pick up a bargain where possible. They as a list have some work cut out for them over the next 3-4 years..a bit more than we have. Im not that up on the details but if as CJ suggests there were distinct differences in the offers well.....would explain much All in all we've got Salem....and I'm rapt !!

Probably smoldering leaves all the way to furnaces truth be told. We're talking about mankind and its naughtiness over 1000s of years. Its naive to think things dont go on. The really clever ones keep it al lat arms reach and dont make it obvious Anything coming off the presses at AFL house regarding integrity and cautioning about ethics etc is either laughable or just downright hypocritical. I understand its need but given the AFL's own track record...well. All they can do is say..these are the rules. All clubs need to do is follow them . Further to that they then investigate how to plot a course that stays away from such governance. It would be pretty easy I would suggest. Im not for one monent suggesting the ONLY reason Paddy is going to Geelong is on the back of 800 down plus sweethearts. If he want to go the Bellarine..good for him. Costa's no fool. He's dealt with finer brains than Gil the Dill ffs. Dangerfield to Geelong. So be it Lets go find our good'ens !!

fixed

Probably a lock....such is the way of the world. He may get a leg up into some decent real estate etc etc. My problem isnt so much all these other lots can swing it....is that we CANT !!

he has long time contacts with some of the Geelong coterie etc.,..its home we can all just move on now, nothing more to see
