I don't know if you realise yet swyl, but this week and next week are NOT September... that's still 7 weeks away. Freshening an older player up in July, is the prime time to do it.

Watt, you don't think he could have earned that sort of money, with us???

agree wwsw. words are cheap... and sometimes minds ideas thinking changes.

Holidays LoL... being professional means doing the smart things to get the most out of the team, and the list. Resting bernie the last 2 weeks hasn't hurt us, but will advantage us for the next 6 - 7 weeks. Same can be said for Lewis. IMO Bernie's legs look fitter than Lewis's ,,, so I reckon Lew would reap more rewards than Bernie, from a rest. It will help us, moving towards September. There is no point having a handful of 30+ Yr olds, with massive game numbers, and then 3qtrs of a list all under 60 games. We need to give games to our young, where we can, and at smart times.

inside mids, in-unders... Oliver, Viney, Jones, Harmes,,,,,, Brayshaw, Petracca, Neal-Bullen, I would say of these boys, the first 4 are the real coalface players, and the others are opportunistic insiders. I think I see where your viewing things from.... we differ on what we call inside players (in-unders)..... I think, we only have 4 of what I would call in-unders in our B-22. The others I would term, as just inside mids. Now... no-one wants injuries, but they do happen. And we need cover. and we need to get more talented. Hannebury is a yes for me; unless he's murdered an underworld figure in the past 6 months.

you have no idea; rest is required for the older and the younguns, from time to time. All your mantra of 'work to be done' is just wishful thoughts based in nought. just like saty, based in nought. We need Bernie and Lew in September, and we want them fit and fresh. To aid the likes of Fritsch, and Oscar, etc. And we need to recruit more maturity, as these old codgers age. Bernie doesn't need it, as he is mature and smart anyway. It's Not about stats swyl, finals stats;,, its about composure, & that is mostly in older minds. All the talent in the world is useless without it.

Nope, but they are both aging, and need rests. Just like thoroughbreds need rests from work, they all do. Bernie back this week, and a week, Or 2, off for Jordan, is how I would plan it. 71/2 weeks to Springtime. nowza time to rest those weary legs, before we get serious.

oh, now, that settles it then;,, he's a MUST get now, its confirmed... he's the one. ... cause bryan fairfax told me so. ?

So, if we trade out Tyson, and Oli were to get hurt, we need inside ability. We shouldn't maintain the list that skinny,,, that we have no cover. I think Hannebury can be very handy,,, and with Tyson on the outer, and Jones running on fumes. We would lack class inside, in those circumstances. And we aren't as strong inside, as we like to think we are. We're strong, but not the strongest. We are amongst the other good inside mid-fields. Yes.... we need outside run, but we need speeeed, more than any other run. If we can guarantee we win the clearances,,, and get the ball out to our quick's, we will win way more than lose. We do not want to pay too much Lira to any one player. Unless a DShiel or JKelly bobs up. .

Anyone would think he's on drugs or something! Hannebury has been a topliner.

Would you think Hannebury better than Tyson?

We cannot afford every uncooked star. We need some maturity that is cooked, that's still resting. prior to dinner. This sort of mature talent helps guide us and maintains some cap space for the the near future for those who become available. We DO NOT want to lockup all our finances on one or two players,,, who may, or may-not be worthy.

so lets get him.

didn't Murphy commit to the blues? ooh, disagree Werri. Why do you say that? I'd prefer Hannebury,,, unless you know something I don't?

a wee but tall, to become a dangerous rover.

We do, we certainly do.

or simply change the title.

... not before the bye, we want a bye after our NT game. July is my bet.

Hannebury... wow wowee OK, maybe Sloane isn't avail to us? If we can get Hannebury, and get him right, he'll be better than that other 'bury'. P'''bury

I think they're in a position to have to trade unhappy players,,,, for some 'mature leaders', and other mature GOF's... They need leaders, like we need pace. What they'd give for a Nathan Jones up there. They need leaders... quality.

no problem with Gaff finding the ball, or his gut run... as I said, I like the boy. I'm just not hooked on him BUT I think he may be too expensive, for watt he deelivers. I think the thing we really need is more speed and x-factor, amongst our mids. I think If we have Gaff, either ANB or Harmes goes. and certainly Tyson cannot be in a team with these guys, and Gaff. As far as gut run goes, these guys plus others we are developing, will cover the ground.

No, but I do not FEEL the connection with paper letter writing, It bores me, it leaves me cold, and so have no interest in it. Also I have no faith in those who are at the top table; making the dee-cisions. Present board accepted; to this point. I much prefer talking to the masses, and the ordinary folk.... and not the 'politically correct',,, 'stinkers and movers'_ Ha !

Don't need to, they all read the forums. And since I'm not an office worker, and have a distaste of formalities, and writing and text. Its not my way. Trust me the word gets back. Haven't you noticed,,,, the welcome game, and many other things, are all born from ideas on forums.

That is all good and I agrree with sentiment BUT, this is not the best place to Grow this club. This whole exercise is nothing to do with History,,, and is meant to be all about growing the club again. Yarra Park Nth, is too far off the track, for daily punters. Revenue going to waste, leaving from Richmond Station. .
