I would like to see what he's like, in our new team and attitude.

I do not want to lose Weide. I believe he will be our tall forward/follower as he grows his game. A beaut kick as well. And a powerful mark around the ground, who will crash packs and bodies, like his GrandPa.

Sloane is more of what we need imo. over Lynch. A swing player similar to the mold of Steven May would be handy, but I wonder if TSmith could do that ? I think Smith is potentially very handy player.

And we should be doing likewise... talk him up DJ. The pies also want Lynch. And no doubt, quietly would like Gaff as well. And we should be into all of them,,,, until we see where the lye of the land is.

Do we really need Gaff? or would it/we be better, with a HF/Mid, who has a touch of magic inside the 50 ? Think StevieJ.

Yes, I would. He fits the age bracket we need more leadership within. Sloane of Lynch. would be good. Adding gaff would help our gut running area. Three seems to be a few coming up Re possible shifts. IMO, in four years time we will have a lot of pressure on our salary cap. More-so then than now. Getting these mature players will serve us well, as long as they are potent winners. But we need to hold our picks as much as possible, so we have young talent ready in 4 years time, to start their AFL careers.

Your right Earl. The difference I think is, these types are gamblers/risk takers, which is what makes them above the others. They'll have a red hot dip. Think Lockett. rough cut gem. Gablett snr. Te Robbie Flowers are extremely rare. and we very nearly rejected him. Our supporters IMO have reduced down to almost all, of similar cut jibs, conservative non risk taking styles. In that embarrassment weighs heavier in their minds than being successful. Not wanting to take these risks on rough cuts types, for FEAR of embarrassment, and going against the clean club, 'mantra'. Re De Goey, I have no idea how or if we could afford him, but from what I've seen we need a player on wing half-forward like him. With his quick agile moving, and clean thinking/reacting. He is dynamic.

That was my thought a couple of days ago DaG. But on 2nd thoughts I don't know that he IS a DH. He is possibly a fired up creative type with aggression... a little like a Toby Greene. Every club needs a dynamo, like that. My thinking has changed since a couple of weeks back, when he first hit the headlines. We are too conservative by fault, too often. We need to take more risks, to get to the top.

you don't think De Goey could add anything to us? scorn isn't your best suit et.

I would too. The young fella might turn, into a Follower. worth the risk.

What price? Is their any way we could get this player into rednblue ?

We'll be paying very close to this for Gaff, if he comes our way. Maybe we would be better going after RSloane this year; and aiming at DShiel in the 2019 free agency?

watts that you say daisy violence lamb is very tasty

sounds too church of england Bbo. missionaries. a date with the front bar?

would have liked to be a mosquito on the wall... just checking the haute couture mind.

He's given everyone a hint of his wares Now people have something witnessed to believe in. My Christmas stocking is very satisfied, from a couple of years back. But this years 2018 Xmas stocking is still empty so far. It wants a running mid signed sealed & delivered. I'd prefer one of Tex's ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2F4K7nbcgs

everyone needs a little greek tragedy in their lives, moonshine.

Sign him up, quick. Not enough red heads in Melbournefc town. What, and no fishnets, Bbo?

Nope; no way would I. I prefer the Weide.

Shiel would be the perfect understudy to Jones, who has maybe a couple more in him? With all the talk of Gaff etc, I just wonder if anyone has made any contact to suss his position, Prior to us going spending this year. We have to continue to AIM High... not settle for just deserts.

ssshh.

Just think its worth an enquiry to Dylan's manager. He is contracted til end of 2019, but that Giant Beanstalk seems to be withering. Will he wither on the Vine? Also Lachie Whitfield, but he is contracted til end of 2020. But this could be better for us re available trades for use ?

Still no comment on the issue moonman.

What about desti-nation DShiel ? The Giants are looking more like Shrek. I just wonder if Dylan has had any 2nd thoughts about going forward, in that big spoilt Land, up there? He's worth more than a basic question I reckon, if we are shopping around.

I am totally optimistic in our team Faulty, but want us all to remain vigilant Re the clubs direction. The Achilles Heal of this club is when we all become cosy. Too comfortable, and we raise our eyes to look further up the road. We start to wander across the bitumen we are traveling on and come unstuck. We are our own nightmare. Too easily satisfied..
