I agree to an extent with rpfc. It entirely depends in this hypothetically world what is on offer for Fitzpatrick. I'd prefer to keep him, but if we could get a 24-25 A grade midfielder for him, I'd jump at it. Hawthorn were ruthless. It essentially won them a flag and set them up for a decade of power. They've been unlucky to come up against the greatest team of all. It's a fine line. We shouldn't be gung-ho about trading someone of Fitzy's upside, but if the right offer is there, we shouldn't be too conservative.
-
I just skip entire pages of his petty squabbling with x poster and then y poster. Fitzy should be persisted with and he continues to surprise me every week.
-
Both duds. No thanks.
-
Not a particularly reliable source, hence trying to get some more info. Thought it was worth chucking out there though.
-
I'm not so sure about this. Watts' first goal last week was proof of this. Fitzy, Watts and Clark are all mobile enough to get it done on the ground. We just need an extra speedy crumber or two. Deadly it would be. Deadly. But let's not get sidetracked. Midfield.
-
If Barry's singing a Jim Steinman song, he goes alright. Otherwise I'm with you, mate. Chris Johnson was a pretty ordinary one, but outside of that disaster, I'd say the last decade has seen some champion father/sons. Only have to look at all of Geelong's champions (I'd be putting Hawkins in that category too).
-
I'm told the deal was done before the Sydney game. $1.4 mill a year. I'm interested if your sources have said anything further, GNF. You're usually spot on.
-
This does not make it right though, BB. And a sense of humour doesn't apply here. It's an ignorantly stupid thing to say. If someone does find it funny, questions should be asked about their intelligence. It's this sort of attitude that gives footballers get a bad rep.
-
We don't know what he is. Currently is interim coach. There is no Director of Sports Performance.
-
Gawn needs to improve his ruck work, but at least Gawn stays on his feet in the centre square. I reckon Jamar ends up on his backside every second centre bounce. Gawn certainly has him covered around the ground. I think Gawn's work around the ground outweighs anything Jamar provides...BUT we must be very careful with trading Jamar. We don't need anymore players offside with us.
-
Except for PJ's FD restructure...
-
Easier said than done, H. I like the idea of Cross and Dal Santo, but can't see them making a drastic change either. We also have to get them here. Granted, Roos as coach might open a few doors.
-
Very good point, DD. Hadn't occurred to me.
-
Totally agree. I wasn't advocating the drafting of Wines over Toumpas. I think the latter will be a fine player. But it was worth noting (before Wines) Port already had the makings of a good young midfield. Don't you worry, my fingers are crossed for Roos as well.
-
Yes it is. Until we get a midfield, nothing will change drastically. Port already had the makings of a good midfield. They just either couldn't get on the park or were young. Ollie Wines has obviously helped their midfield group as well. It's a great pity Viney hasn't played every game this season. It just means he'll take longer to adjust to AFL level. He'll almost be like a first year player next year.
-
I know it's probably not the thread to discuss it, but Roos was quite firm in his assessment of Terlich. Basically said that it's all well and good to collect 27 disposals across half back, but if your man kicks 4 or 5 on you, how well have you really played? I like it. Also really enjoyed Roos' assessment of Terlich and Matt Jones' work rate in two passages of play.
-
Ah. In that case, I agree.
-
Oh I don't think either of them are very likely. I was speaking purely hypothetically.
-
See I think Trengove's got a little something back over the last few weeks and should be one of the first names on the team sheet. Toumpas struggled in patches yesterday, but I also think he needs an extended run in the AFL.
-
Although we have to be careful about who we simply move on, particularly if Jamar shows leadership around the club, in the case of GWS offering us Adams or Shiel you'd take it every day of the week. Thinking we should get a pick plus one of their young guns for an aging at best 'ordinary' ruckman sounds like biased optimism to me.
-
Barry Manilow and a honeymoon suite sounds a little more consensual.
-
Wow. I know it's in jest, but massively problematic.
-
I'd be waiting to see if he continues it into next year, DF. We've made that mistake before. Let's see him show consistency and then we can offer reward.
-
What I'd like to see is us able to hold a side goalless for at least the first minute of a game. Cannot remember the last time it happened. Who makes way for Magner, Jack? I agree we lack clearance players, but it really depends on who you're sitting out for Magner. Bit of tongue in cheek there, Jnr.
-
Disagree, mate. I've watched him chase a number of opponents this year and hasn't looked anywhere near as quick. He's never gained on them either. I remember (I think) a Collingwood ruckman running away from him with no trouble at all. Today he looked quicker. There's no doubt in my mind. He seems to be moving more freely too. I'd point to the goal he kicked today as evidence. The ability to turn and kick it from 45 was a marked improvement. I watched him fail to get the distance from 30 out earlier in the season.
