prediction...equiv of pick 34...depends on trades etc but on current basis of a known compo to Hawks and GWS activating a pick id put our compo at band 4 He wont be on a super contract at Freo..that arent that mad... He wants out at Melb I suspect . He hasnt done that well in B+F to warrant a band 3 That my friends is all hes worth

less Martin, more Charlie !!!

Sorry to harp on an observation but as you note hes never achieved his potential, but you'll be sad to see him go ? Wont you be better catered to by a player who will come in AND play to his potential .. wouldnt you rather that ? Seriously ..just asking

Actually this always tickles me...the notion of nothing to play for. its actually this that goes to the heart of Cols problem, his attitude. That he ( or indeed you summise ) he has nothing to play for suggest he is most definitely the wrong type of person to ever have. THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING TO PLAY FOR Ask the Vineys and the nuggets of this world , indeed this team, ask Garland , ask Trengove, Grimes, Clark Dawes the same question and be astounded by their response, that is after they get over the incredulity of the question. There is pride. Pride in self, of the club and its jumper of the value your team mates instill in you. there is the accomplishment and satisfaction of adding to something, in building not just the participating. even if these real values dont get yo there... I would like to think honouring a contract whereby someone is paying you a very large sum to perform to your ability might actually mean something. but your'e probably right...Col couldnt find anything to play for. hes a midfielder's a..... btw

Maloney's cuz I suspect

on the basis of ??

Could you imagine it.. Swans having to wonder if they were harbouring the enemy within ? lol

yep

I disagree.. probably the most over rated player on our list in a decade...ooh funny that 10 years !! there are many a player out there that will play better and harder over the next 2-3 years. Watch Sylvia struggle anywhere else when his dedication trips him up

bye

not the copper...it was/is some areas of there hosting services that appear to get weighed down. I think these subnets are currently being ported. Not totally clear on this but was intimated by an old colleague. A fair few larginsh busineses have expressed concerns of late as to telstras hosting and supervision of some nets.

Stuff moneyball...lets play HARDBALL !!!

A project....we'll wait...for now What else is there to do lol

Id certainly want to keep Chipper but we have to keep it real also.. Id offer 4 years including a rewrite of next year at around the 7HK mark and have him as a Dee to at least the end of 17. By then he'll want to stay with us anyway

I think with good tutelage Gawn can become our poor mans Sandilands in a fashion. No offence Maxy but AAron is pretty bloody good.. get to within a bulls roar and id be stoked

I think its now been established beyond any semblance of doubt that Mr Colless is full of shlt !!

ahhh...but what if that improved markedly ?? changes the need ruckwise...at least for a year or so. Jamar is contracted I believe til end of 15. Keep him..use his as needed. As many suggest his trade worth isnt that huge though a younger aspirant's would be. So why not capitalise on that value...and now. still..its just me here in the left field

A Roos rues indeed

I disagree withe notion its anything like a A or B+ . The jury is still out on whether Toumpas was the right call and until such time as its clear it was a good one then you cant allude to it yet. I only mention that as its relevant , not to incite another battle, but it has currency.. I thought Rodan a good pick and a shame he was cruelled by injury otherwise Id have him still on list for next year...just to keep some honest. I cant imagine what Neeld was thinking in getting Gillies, let alone Pedersen. What mattter it of their cost pick wise ,we've still got bloody Pedersen. There must have been others also to look at. I think Neeld had his Geelong goggles on at some point. 2012 , far from a disaster, some distance form unmitigated success

makes sense ...otherwise wed have surely named the heir apparent by now. Im not expecting miracles from day 1..( I'll given a few weeks grace here...lol ) We are on a rebuild on many fronts and this will take time. if Dew's the man then we wait. we're good at waiting

Possibly Michie leaving frees up a spot ?

That another older Ruck is being mentioned in association with us is of curiosity in regard to Mark. Never quite regained that form of his AA. Strangely though if Jolly was to come Id keep Russian and trade the Pencil as he would have more value and look to bring Gawn on. Draft another kid to groom for later. Though not influential any more he can keep the opposition honest, sometimes thats enough if your crumbers are up and alive.

Sylvia......single handedly won a game ??? John McEnroe might have something to say about that.

well for starters hes only to sign for 9...so hed be off by 10 This is a ploy to get some clever accounting happening . Hed be as suggested lucky to get 5-6 years more service. Arent too many trotting around after 32/33. 9-10... never going to happen

all you had to say
