crunch year for strauss, it could well be his last year on the list, if he cannot work his way into the squad and show something at an afl level, his kicking is so good, yet he rushes himself and puts more pressure on himself than is actually around, his defensive skills are pretty good, and his foot speed is solid enough, he has the makings of being a chris newman esque defender, just teeing up passes off the back flank, [censored] hitting leads, yet he has not capatilised on his potential yet.

delist, then sign, you have a 3 day waiver before you sign the player.

that is tough luck, it will be hard to find a ruckman i think, trading will be tough aswell.

grimes is somewhat of a linchpin in my defence, and i am pretty certain that he will be repping good numbers so it is hard to say haha... although i have been running rather low on my soul collecting lately.

anyone up for trading, im interested in a forward or possible ruckman, and i have a pretty solid defensive and midfield stock, will consider nearly any trades. :D

jack attack, you are my least favourite person, your two picks were my next two picks, i saw dennis lane go and i was like cool i can get shaw then, but no no you took them both

andy otten, dammnit

someone happy, but also a bit frustrated, to see the preference picks i got, although it means that the players i had ranked higher, were taken and i would have probably picked them anyway

dappa dan, you are an awful man, i had hill penciled in right then

just over a quarter of the way through

where is everyone? dinner time i reckon haha

i guess that makes us even, i thought steele would sneak through :|

ooooh high tower, you are somewhat making me regret the grimes pick with that one

yeh i was thinking about it and figured, i hadnt picked a backman, and jack grimes was available and i figured that he wouldnt last another pick haha

get on morarbito from freo too

thought i had jamar sewn up :|

same haha

i personally thought grimes had an good game for a team that played poor, he got plenty of the pill, but i hate the fact that all his disposals go 15m to the left or right, now its all well an good as i would rather him doing it than warnock, bartram and joel macdonald, but i would rather him kick it long to a contest, than kick it to someone who is not as good with their feet, in a similar or worse situation. no doubt their is a spot in the backline for him as his reading of the play and disposal in most circumstances is second to none, but he has to be more defensively minded, several times he was caught of his man, and his closing speed is not good enough to give his opponent a few metres kick start.

1) if colin garland has a poor game without frawley playing, we will lose 2) grimes kicking it 15 m to the left or right of him is a pointless posession 3) we won alot of the hitouts and we couldnt get the first posession, scully and mckenzie are vital to our team

btw, has anyone seen the photo of the alleged girl going around, she is well hot, ricky was definately duped, but still the bloke is an idiot

yeh in relation to draft, i am at uni and what not but will be an easy fix, and i just have work from 330-715 again not too bigger issue as the player nomination looks pretty good side note, my other league i am doing with mates and we are thinking of rolling like a 8-11 kinda business, with like 1 minute draft time, having said that its probably not everones cup of tea and would be quite frantic haha

just joined, stoked

i thought jetta gave them away as he was playing on andy otten for a bit and i saw him give two off? having said that moloney does tend to grapple with opponent due to lack of burst speed

colin sylvia to dismantle opposition teams and also a win against geelong would be good.
