That's not an excuse. I don't know about you, but I don't have any friends who have been charged, so it's just meathead mentality. It has to change. A lot of these footballers aren't the brightest candles, but surely they can be taught some manners.

Frawley had a very promising season, but he doesn't quite have the versitility of Garland, who can play on anyone from a small forward to a resting ruckman.

Me too. We've had a win with the McLean deal as far as I'm concerned, but Colin is our most promising defender. If we're to win a flag with this team, we must hold onto a player of Garland's ilk.

As strange as it may sound, Newton has more upside than McLean, as far as I'm concerned. Newton needs to work on his kicking, as he could still play a role within our forwardline, if he gets some confidence up. McLean's lack of both pace and decision making does not stand up in modern football. If Sydney were interested in trading their firstround pick (which I highly doubt they are), I'd certainly think about it.

I agree. Jones can also kick a long goal and isn't weak above his head. McLean is the one I see as the weak link. He has the least versitility of a player on our list. He can only play through the middle, although Bails tried him in the back pocket towards the end of the season. I'd be getting rid of McLean before Newton TBH.

You've got to be joking?

I was at the Prelim final in '07 between the two teams (Geelong v Pies) and the filth were unlucky not to beat Geelong. Furthermore, this season Geelong have begun to start choaking, so I wouldn't be surprised if they get beaten next week.

Thanks for all those, Deestroy All. Fantastic to watch. Btw, how good was our ball movement against St Kilda and more precisely our kicking?

That might have been it. I read it a few weeks ago, so it's difficult to remember.

I highly doubt this is true, but as soon as I heard it, I thought if it did eventuate, does that mean we'll look to trade one of our key defenders for a higher pick? Bad move, I think.

I'm sorry, but this annoys me, it's Aboriginies, not Aboriginals. As for the purpose of the thread, I read somewhere we're looking at a guy in the NT. Not sure of his name.

I'm a fan of all of them, but LJ was clearly the standout. His skill and similarly natural football brain is one of the great stories to come out of our long season.

True, wouldn't disagree with that.

Sean 'not a Wellman' is doing a terrific job. No thanks.

I'd forgotten what a gun he was. And Farmer's goal on the run at Waverley...superb.

I agree, Toot. It will be hilarious when Adelaide knock them out. How much did Didak, Davis and Shaw crumble today? Adelaide are a big chance for the flag.

Good points, godees. Set up your midfield first and then if Green and the rest of the forwardline aren't potent enough, we can always look to trade or draft later down the track.

I know I should trust, but Peake is a ordinary player at best.

If this is indeed true (as I noticed it in the paper myself, as well), what the heck are we thinking?

Exactly.

I'm not far from Nepean...do you have too? But don't worry, you'll be safe. I can't see us finishing below Richmond next season. Or any season for many years.

At least, if it was Adelaide, we wouldn't hear about it over here.

Yeah, that's the funny thing about St Kilda. Supremely arrogant supporter base, yet have achieved little success.

We won't trade picks 1 or 2. He's simply 'keeping his options open'. The only reason we wouldn't go with Trengove, is if he doesn't interview well and we perhaps think he might not stay in Melbourne, over an extended period.

Crows, Bulldogs, Brisbane and Saints for me. I'd rather the Bulldogs win the whole thing, if not, the Saints, as they lack the premierships and if they don't win it with this team, they'll never win it.
