No, we (effectively) swapped Brock for Gysberts, that's where it all went haywire. Gysberts is currently running round in the VFL for North, the Pedersen/Gysberts trade is about right ... though time will tell.
-
Probably/perhaps. As I said, just posted, nothing more. FWIW, it was retweeted by Wayne Ludbey, who is Sam Stynes brother. Which doesn't necessarily make it more credible, though he's generally a pretty reliable tweeter. He was the one who referred to Spargo as "The Sieve".

Tony Sheahan @TonySheahan1h PAUL ROOS; A DEMON??? http://wp.me/p2JmwG-10 via @wordpressdotcom Retweeted by Wayne Ludbey.

Just putting this here, seems the appropriate place. No idea of its accuracy or not, just posting the link: http://ynotmedia.wordpress.com/2013/05/08/paul-roos-a-demon/

The same information that said that Grimes would be out for the rest of the season? You only have to look at the (improved) performances of Nathan Jones and Garland (and perhaps Sylvia, but we've been burnt before ....) to see what's going on.
-
Believe Pedersen has a 2 year contract. The others, one year. Rodan was the only draft pick (88). Gillies was delisted FA, Pedersen was a trade with Gysberts.
-
But also shows what an achievement it was to get where he did, albeit for a comparatively short time. Tragic, though perhaps the greater tragedy is the number of Liam Jurrah's out there who we'll never even know about - except as unfortunate statistics.
-
And who else did very well on the weekend: David Rodan. Valenti has been getting high stats in the VFL for years, but was found out at AFL level. Cam Pedersen has also consistently performed at a "class above" level in the VFL. High possession count in the VFL is no guarantee at all that a player will do the same or similar at AFL level. In any case, Magner will get his chance, but I for one have difficulty seeing that it will make all that much difference.
-
He never said he was happy. Or anything like happy. Check the interview maybe.
-
Except that no-one praised the performance against Brisbane. As Rawlings' said on the team chat last week, the entire coaching staff were really disappointed with the lack of effort against Brisbane, especially in the second half. Also, as Craig pointed out last week, there are no limitations (or excuses) being given to the players.
-
... and will ensure that, eventually, the wins will start coming.
-
Great - and equally, shocking - to see it laid out like that. It's even more shocking if you take Rodan and Davey out of the list - they're no longer first 22, and will probably be gone at season's end. Neeld keeps mentioning the "young list", and people here then respond with team x had x players under 50 games/teenagers etc. etc. But the "young list" part isn't about the "kids", or the new players, it's about the so-called experienced players. Our "senior" players are just so much less experienced than the equivalent players at established clubs, and that's where our "young list" is really hurting us.
-
We live in hope, but I wouldn't be holding my breath that we'll be able to get the midfield equivalent of Mitch Clark through trading. Toumpas, Viney and Matt Jones will be a year older and wiser, hopefully Trengove can shake off what's blighting him at the moment ... that's a good start. Perhaps someone from GC or GWS, but then we didn't really go for Josh Caddy it seems, and in any case, not sure how many like him there'll be.
-
Fair enough, but plenty of Col's team mates are still learning the ropes, so suspect he's trying to a) do it himself and b) show the way.
-
Clark has had ONE injury. A serious one. His more recent foot injuries related to that, which is why he's having this pin out. Back in 4+ weeks is not "next year".
-
In 3 1/2 quarters of footy, he managed 3 disposals, only one of which reached its intended target.
-
Agreed. In any case, Sellar was off sick last week, and is probably underdone (not to mention, has played his only decent football for us down back). Pedersen didn't deserve a place, and Fitzy is probably still considered not AFL fit/ready after coming back from his own injuries and concussion. You can only pick from available players, or players who've earned a place.
-
Who?
-
Yeah, bummer that a guy who has played 4 games doesn't look like a seasoned pro. It was a dumb comment. He doesn't look lost. He looks inexperienced.
-
Because women don't know how to play hard? FFS.
-
Sylvia ... 16 disposals, 37.5 efficiency!
-
Was responding to your post about not matching them in anything.
-
Skills.
-
We are actually. Leading I50's and clearances, about equal on HO's and contested possession. Dawes in next week, need a forward line with a bit of shape.
-
Yeah, shocking isn't it, that there could actually be another P.O.V.
