Demon Disciple

Matt Crouch? If it was his older brother then i'd be a bit more excited, as even a half broken-down Brad Crouch has more flair than Matt.

He reminds me a bit like N Riewoldt, with his running ability whilst also being able to rack up possessions as well.

If Boyd is worthy, then there can be no doubting Hogan getting such a deal.

He does, i'd even say we need more of his type than we do Redden. Just high-lighting the differences between the 2.

Mackay is more a wingman with pace, whereas Redden isn't overly quick and loves to be in the thick of it.

I wouldn't mind extending his contract for at least another year with an eye to him becoming an assistant/development coach, similar to how Jnr Mac did it up at GWS. He would be able to provide some on-field coaching direction as well, which wouldn't be a bad thing either.

Fitz and Spencil will never be more than cover depth. It's just their luck that we only have an up and come-er and a decent ruck on his last legs. If we were able to bring in a decent/serviceable ruck with some experience (or even the likes of a Smith/Gorringe from GC), i wouldn't hesitate in giving both the flick.

As much as it would be great to bring Thomlinson in, I think you might be overestimating him a fair bit. Dawes is still a fair ways ahead of Thomlinson.

I reckon we should try and go after Gorringe from the Suns. He isn't getting much opportunity up there and he could rotate with Gawn in the forward-line as resting ruck. Howe + first round pick for Prestia + Gorringe?

Isn't he good mates with Dom Tyson?

Well either Viney or Neeld are to blame for that monumental blunder. Who overruled who? As i have heard it both ways. Did Neeld overrule Viney, or was it the other way around?

We'll have better picks to trade for Prestia or Treloar than Geelong, plus Prestia will play for us or stay at gc.

Prestia trade aside, i wouldn't mind trying to get Gorringe. He's out of favour at the Suns and with Jamar on his last legs, we need someone to help out Max.

Well if he came to us, i'd personally drive him down there and back every time he wanted. Solved. Next.

Yes, fitting genuine quality into the team will be hard................ Um no. If we are lucky enough to bring him in, finding him a spot in the best 22 will not be hard at all. He would straight away improve the quality and depth of our team.

And to think WYL wanted him to be captain. He's reverted back to his old, bad self. The one full of sh!t disposals and decision making. Maybe a week at Casey will break him out of his funk. I reckon a good 10-15 could join him from today as well.

Still got a lot of player's to move on.

The only one he is a fan of is himself.

I'd prefer doing that, replacing players known to be sub-afl standard with unknowns. As opposed to keeping list cloggers, who won't take us forward.

At least O'Meara would have a good excuse for not running after players'

If anything, i would've thought that it was Roos and the coaching staff that were believing the hype (and their good work in developing him). So they thought he had become the clear #1 backman, even on the monster FF's. Maybe it was them who got ahead of themselves and thought their job was just about done.

Well we know he can take a grab.

He still doesn't know his limits, which scares me. His disposal is sub-afl standard and his decision making still isn't flash. However, i am willing to continually put up with him and his clangers because he genuinely gives a sh!t and gives his all every game. There are plenty ahead of him in the queue to walk the plank. First up Howe, Bail and Jones (M)

McKenzie, M Jones, Bail and Terlich would head the list for me at the moment.

At 189cm and 87kg, he's that big bodied mid that PR seems to love. Has some pace about him too.
