Rod Grinter Riot Squad

Made a similar comment on 'ology recently as many of those expressed here. The kid has it all. Good overhead, on the ground, applies very good defensive pressure, quality disposal, instinctive, great vision and obvious football smarts. He will be an absolute gun. I haven't been as excited about a young player since Scwartz burst onto the scene, but I see more ability and potential than Scwarta had (before his knee ops) and that's not disrespecting David!

Ditto. Have been impressed with young Buckshot so far and have been shocked when he was dropped after what I saw of him.

All those questioning whether Brock has what it takes to match it against real opposition should think back to our last finals series. Chook has had a second rate year, but he has the ability to take it up to the best, he just needs to get himself right.

We can get the first pick without the wooden spoon if we don't win more than four games. I'd take picks 1 and 3 and no wooden spoon than picks 1 & 2 with the wooden spoon. Also, a win to West Coast means they will not qualify for the priority pick.

Surely you are joking? Bruce wins the hard ball.... delivers with efficiency... :lol: :lol:

I'd have a sense of DeJaVu from when we beat the doggies in 2007.

Any more contributors? Any money left after the auction and bringing the Mt Theo reps down will go to providing the kids up there for footy equipment...

Nice bump YM... Reminds me of the one done recently on 'ology where you sing Bruce's praises and say how no team in the league has a player that can match him

Even more important was his last quarter performance. When they were coming at us this kid stood up big time.

I'd debate the call on Morton being stagnant. Thought he showed a good deal of improvement earlier this year. His last month hasn't been as great but he has also been played as a defender during this time. He is still very young and has a slight build and reckon he is looking a little tired lately. He also needs to toughen up a bit with his attack on the pill. Expect some inconsistency. That said, I would say that he has improved, though there is a lot more potential improvement there, it will come.

If Luke can't do it, then WJ (along with Judee or Tim from 'ology).

Jimmy can be there, by his side if he wants but... Fork should be the one to present it to him

Pretty certain he now knows.

Again, great work Fork and all who have given so generously. Just sent through my $50 pledge DN122730

I reckon more pledges will come over the weekend. I know the Mt Theo crowd have pledged $1500, but it would be great if we can make it so that they don't have to contribute anymore than the initial $1000 OR LESS than they had budgeted for. Over to you people, let's make the weekend a generous one...

Nah fork, you're the legend mate, well done.

Don't worry about the $ fork, between us all, we'll raise whatever is needed. I'm very confident of that.

Change the $20 I have pledged to $50 if we get it.

Hope we just buy it and then worry about the finances, I'll happily chip in more if we get it and am sure many would.

$2400 now!!!!

Add $20 from me.

How are you going to collect the money? Any idea of how much it will cost to frame it? How are you going to send it to the community? Great idea BTW, well done.

Again, I don't care. Hell, I'd prefer to see Bell playing Bruce's position this week. More seriously, I'd like to see Grimes play his role. The team is being moulded this year, examples set this year can last with players forever.

Nope. Nor do I care. Not arguing the case for him being dropped on team balance. Dropping him would make the team weaker this week. Stronger in the long run.

Fair point. Still feel a big statement could have been made and wasn't.
