Bloody curveballs hey, always had trouble withem. Perty, one of my favourite players, back in the day.

I disagree on Garlett this year. Hasn't deserved it. You have to earn it,,, by doing the things 'the coaches' and 'the team' want/need. Not watt 'you', want to do only. Watt was quick as well, like a fox, unfortunately. But not so much a 'team' man. just one of the' buoys'. floated around waiting. 'watt of the wisp'. We want pace, with 'attitude',,, or 'brute', see Danger. 'will of the wisp', not so much. I guess that's why we got Spargo, and Baker, both have 'tude'. But both not what i'm talking about. 'De Goey will be hotter property, and I am thinking he's skills are a better investment, than Gaff's gut run. .

And all of them were here at a time, 'when',,, and now we need those memories, out of the building. Jones aside, as he is not one to be lead astray; but is a leader. rarity.

time: churn the list.

Why do you say, 'instead of teaching him'? Don't you reckon we've been trying to get him to use the ball better since last season ? The coaches of course, would have been working on that with him. And so we have worked hard on getting ur half back sorted so we use the ball better coming out of defence. We have been much better at this, in 2018. But sadly Hunt has not been able to capture his best form, from the wing. Our depth has miraculously improved from defence, since we recruited Lever, and others last year.

We can do it, IF we want to. Mind you it doesn't have to be DeGoey, but he has that x factor. Whitfield, Kelly, and no doubt others can do it. But do they carry X factor.

As I said I like Gaff... but with our dwindling resources in the salary cap, this deecision is Crucial, to get it right. We are very one geared. We are very much a power geared side,,, and i want us to add an extra dimension to our run and carry. Pace, breaks big games open.

So you think Gaff is quick enough, to bring us what we lack in the midfield. ... which I think is midfield speed and agility..

I do not think Petracca will ever be a fast Mid. I see Petraca as more a power mid, power medium-forward. But not so, agile and quick. I sense DeGoey is quick by foot, and his footy mind.

I haven't watched him on enough occasions to debate that, but his recent games suggest he's adequate.? The way I see it is this,,, Gaff has been said to be soft, & too much an outside player,,, in past seasons. Only this season has he started to get more contested ball, and started to play inside at the bounce, etc. Why only this year... and is this just a contract year thing for him... I like Gaff, but I want us to look far and wide this season for the right player fit for us... Prior to us committing our last bit of salary cap space on another medium-speed midfielder. I don't think Gaff's 'quick', by any real measure, but maybe not slow. SO I wonder how he will add speed and a point of difference, to our midfield list? DeGoey certainly would add some speed, and a touch of magic to our on-ball division, and the list? Surely both would cost us similar, in terms of salary cap numbers.?

So now, Dee Goey anyone ? Forget Gaff, Jordan is the won we want. the Roos are into him, for good reason... he's a match winner.

Wow. what pace and long stride. he covered some ground for sure.

All true 'Hem', but neither of them are one of my mates. So you were right,,, in a professional game where trades are allowed, and talk of a mid season trade period, it is, a Meat -Market mate. Now lets get to buisness.

In strong drafts, we could do a bit with a number of 2nd Rnd and 3rd Rnd picks. We could trade up fairly well. I would be looking to trade off Kent back to the West, if we could get something decent with tour returns. Wet Toast might be looking to top up their list, as they think they're not pretenders. They might like some insurance for cover, as they're window opens in the breeze.

cheers Dl Done, thankyou.

can I remove those messages, without opening them?

ah, sorry Dl. They are years old. I haven't checked them for that long. I thought they were from yesterday, & maybe some Asian was trying to send me an email to open. ( written in poor english ) Sorry for that confusion. I am also suffering terribly from chronic sleep apnea. That must have contributed yesterday.

Hi Demonland, it's not in the notifications, its in my messages. Can you check them please? messges about selling things, and titles 'administrator' etc. see funny picture, sounds asian???

is the site being targeted at the moment. via the notifications?

Gaff's good, but I think we can do better. Maybe Sloane this year on a heavy front ender, and Kelly in 2019, on a looong deal?

It'll cost them.

could you give him the old seductive look, a wink, and blow some kisses???

Who? a kid called Salary-Cap space? ... room with the view for another gun.

We didn't want to give the cheating scum a pick like that, for anyone. Just because they are what they are.
