Interesting that both of the chaos coaches (Beveridge and Hardwick) come from the school of control (Clarkson).

You tell us, TradeBreaker. Don't you mean "Scott Burns is confirmed for the Adelaide gig #ETradeBreaker™©️"?

Good call. He was in the 2016 draft. Thought it was strange he was only 19. What a derper. Very true too. Shut up, A F. Let's get back on the Ben King train.

You tried to compare their stats. That was my issue. Not their asking price.

If you make the comparison with us, May is the lock down FB, Lever the intercept marker, Hibberd is the run and gun. We're just missing the designated kicker and general. Perhaps Jones can play that role in 2020? Great comments though, mate. Thanks for sharing. Actually a very nice guy is Damien. Fascinating hearing how Hardwick and Buckley turned their careers around after internal reviews. Let's hope Goody can take heed of a similar review. I'd also proffer Sav Rocca as an alternative.

And since I'm on a roll tonight, maybe Jeremy Cameron is gettable on a 6-7 year contract?

The Lido's pretty nice.

Some people value contracts too. What a funny inclination.

Now for Taranto.

Well, exactly. Because we're wedded to him, we'll pay what we need to pay. And the little dill will make sure of it.

Yes, I know, we may not need another bull, but if Ben King is a no go, I'd put pick 3 down on the table for Tim Taranto and that way GWS get their man, but we get a guy who is trending upwards is an incredible way. Oliver, Taranto, Harmes. That's a tough, ball-winning trio. The guy is 19 and had a super consistent year at GWS. Thoughts...

We're also signing Tomlinson and Schwab is taking over from Pert.

I haven't noticed anyone else doing it, but goodo.

Fair enough. Just seems pretty useless to me to use stats as a measure of comparing both positions when neither necessarily need to be highly statistical. Unless you're counting repeated springs, blocking up holes in defence from the wing or shutting down your man. The KPIs for a defensive wing position would only be known internally and given he's played 3 straight seasons at an outfit like GWS, I'd say he's been doing a good job of it. And for the record, I'm fine with Frost as back up depth. He's good depth actually, but the overrating going on in these parts of his abilities is hilarious. He's an exciting athlete that struggles when the ball is in his hands on a football field.

Wow. If we land Elliott and Demonland still complains... can't do anything right. Melbourne have also landed Fyfe, Dangerfield, Franklin and Zorko. Oh! You're [censored] Melbourne! How old are they? 54? Play it safe and posters [censored] on the club, go after who we want (Lever, May and Elliott) and posters [censored] on the club.

The less I say on this the better, but thank you for your commitment to our club, Mister Jones.

Both players are completely different. This post shows a complete lack of understanding on either the players or the modern game. Tomlinson plays a defensive position on a wing and pinch hits in the ruck, while Frosty has proven he can only be hidden in one area of the ground (the back half) and plays exclusively as key defender. Comparing their stats is useless. In what realm are these players remotely similar? Unless Jamie Elliott is similar to Max Gawn...

Nah, didn't get the PM mate.

Different year's weren't they?

Just as I was with Prestia, until it's no longer possible to get King, I'll keep believing. ?

At the risk of sounding like a broken record... trade pick 3 for Ben King.

Source?

I'd change the Senior Coach personally. Alan Richardson is a good start too. Yze would be handy; Adrian Hickmont; Justin Longmuir; Leigh Tudor. These sort of guys. Doesn't it strike you as odd that Williams hasn't managed to get another job since 2016? In the meantime, the side he coached at has won two premierships without him.

Bottom 4 next year, you reckon, mate? Often happens when you lose that much experience. Depends who they replace them with I suppose.

I hope we're not scarred by the retirement of James McDonald. Jones should have gone at the end of last year. The fact he's managed to get another year is quite frankly ridiculous. As you say, what the hell is his role in 2020? He's not a good enough kicker or decision maker to play half back, but this is his only position going forward.
