flog

Clear as a summers day, the way this club is intending to finish the year

Frawley easily, would go close to most improved in the AFl

As I was watching the Geelong, Melbourne game last weekend one of the commenters labelled Liam Jurrah the most exciting talent in the AFL (Cant remember who) This got me thinking about who else would be in that category. Reading between the lines I figured they ment new talent or someone from the last couple of drafts. When I say exciting talent I don’t mean who is going to be the best player but more who is the most gifted. The only other player I could come up with was C Rioli. Both are extremely gifted players with different attributes. Rioli is great in close, winning his own ball and applying pressure (eg the grand final) while Jurrah seems a more outside player with beautiful disposal, a great leap and mark. If they were both on offer at this years draft who would you take? Looking at it from purely a talent side of things I would have to choose Jurrah. The X factor with him is just massive. He could be absolutely anything if his desire can match his ability.

The football department have told us they wont tank so I thought we should look at the players to find any possible tankers to help our cause. Call this what you like but I have named it: The Tankability Review. Bell - Tried to run through a tank but smashed his shoulder Bruce – tried tanking against Collingwood but didn’t like it Davey – Couldn’t build a tank quick enough for him Dunn – Fighting for his life as the tanks are approaching Frawley – Can produce a tank or two but we love ya Green – Despises tanks, tried to smash a tank with his head earlier in the year but broke his jaw Grimes – I heard he ran through a tank during child birth Jamar – Russians prefer bombs to tanks Jetta - super competitive soldier leading the residence Jones – Someone tried to tank his farther and that [censored] him right off Jurrah – Fingers are to large to operate a tank Martin – Heard someone was tanking and stomped his leg like a horse McDonald – Has started to colour in pictures of Thomas the Tank Engine with his son McLean – To slow even for a tank Moloney – Teased for being a Tank Morton – Went looking for tanks that had gone missing away from the battle Petterd – Just as the tanks gathered in the last quarter he positioned some landmines perfectly Rivers – Threw himself at tanks all day Robertson - selfish Tanker Warnock – Battles the biggest tanks of opposition teams each week Wheatley – Kicks like a tank Bate – Runs like a tank Possible Replacements Watts – Gold plated tanker, so don’t scratch him Blease – So talented he smashed his leg in the aid of tanking Well there you have it, no were near enough tankers to save us from this predicament. No scully for us, Trengove at best.

And so he should be. The way he runs and jumps for marking contests is amazing, i really think he could play a key position role for us a bit like robbo. Mind you there is more talent in his fingers than robbo and he is not a selfish, he has definatly shown us that.

Jarrah has got the longest arms since inspector gadget

What would you like him to say?

Bruce green jamar pettard warnock Jurrah

Dean bailey has been noted as a great teacher of the game, is it possible jamars improvement is a direct result of his coaching. what do you think?

Tom scully is a richmond supporter so he will end up being a dud anyway, they always do

The club wouldn't direct him to stay out of contests, thats something he chooses to do. He needs a little more mongel in him. I think your right about watts being a bit like hird except that hird was one of the hardest players you will ever see.

Ha ha, no need to get personal. Being 18 and 80 odd kg is no reason not to keep your head over the ball. I said he needs to improve this and im sure he will. The guy is a number one draft pick and he needs to start showing us why. No one expects him to kick a bag but he should be having an influence at this level. He has done some nice things today but if his name wasn't jack watts i wouldn't have noticed him

If we get smashed tommorrow i dont want to see one post from any of you that want us to lose about how pathetic we were. You have all forfeited that right.

mate, you have got to get off the acid

Bennell is not playing for casey so you would think he would be back in the melbourne side. watts is getting a few touches but his attack on the footy is pretty poor. You would say he is pretty soft. He would want to fix that as thats not going to cut it in the seniors

[ I would also throw in Bell and Bartram for consideration.

btw, why would an 18 year old sneak to the local park when they can finally get into the pub?

tuning chicks, playing computer games, sneaking out with his mates to the local park to drink beers, I don't know? what else do 18 year olds do

Does anybody know how garlands rehab is going? will he be ready for pre-season or do we have a luke egan on our hands?

Dont really know what all the fuss is about. Not a hope in hell we will win 3 more games. We might beat fremantle but thats it. Stress less people and start enjoying watching some of our new players each week. Grimes attack on the ball on the wing and kick to robbo would be a good start
