Its going to be bomber I tells ya. So much like freo scario. Also surely clubs are wary if returning heroes after Voss and third?

Surely they'll go after bomber?

Forget my earlier support. He'd be no good. Unless he is still coming to us! In which case he'll be great

Heezus. Perhaps they want bomber Thompson? Get him before gc do? Surely too early for Goodwin?

That's funny, so do the pies

That's funny. Particularly liked this bit: 'Uncomfortable with the threat this presented to their perceived right to insult people they don’t care about, the term was seized on by right-wing commentators, and redeployed as a catch-all pejorative phrase to deride the entire spectrum of Progressive thought. They won, and over the years, the addendum ‘gone mad’ emerged, asserting that much like Ken Bruce, political correctness had gone batshit crazy, and become a slavering, rabid, totalitarian Soviet bear, hurtling towards the horizon, wild-eyed and hungry, looking to devour our Freedoms and Way Of Life.'

In Australia you are considered to have issues if you have different beliefs to the herd, sorry, most other people. One of the most commonly identified issues is Political Correctness syndrome. It's a strange syndrome as it a label put on people with minority views by people with majority views who think they are in fact part of an harassed minority being cowed by the PC majority. Strange.

My sense is that the model Roos prefers is for a successor to be someone who learns the Roos way and then implements that model. Someone like Voss or Ratten would have their own beliefs forged in their senior coaching stints. Goodwin's our man. I can see the headline now after we hammer the pies on QB next year (with Tom McDonald having held TurnClark to a single possession - a kick on the full that from the resulting kick we go coast to coast for the Toump to snap a pearler): NOW THAT WAS A GOOD WIN

A moot point. We have a successor.

no way is he better than O'Meara. His terrific finals game notwithstanding he didn't get selected in the best under 21 side. Now that's probably a decision but at the risk of being accused of flaming I reckon he is overarted. For one thing he is a crap kick, which is one reason I assume we didn't take him given we already have enough of them.

A third round pick or a player they don't want and is not worth more than a third round pick. Bollocks. Don't do any deals and force him into the PSD. Though will that make any difference if he only wants to go to the pies?

Not until Dunn is up there!

Of course BBB. But what if he has told them he is off back to Victoria end of next year? The won't want to lose him for pick 10ish. This way he can help the club get a better deal.

Or get established gun with pick 3 and extras and swap 3 for a mid to late first rounder (eg pick 12) and a plug and play young mid. Use the pick 12 for a mid and suddenly we have a gun mid, a mid with 40ish games (and a couple of AFL pre-seasons) under their belt and a young up and comer mid. Two draft picks net 3 quality mids and helps age spread. Too easy.

Yes but i agree with GNF, Roos will not want to give up pick 3. Pick 2, and (i hate to say it) the Toump plus steak knives (blease, tappy) would get the deal done. The issue of not having a big gap in age range is a big one for the crows (as the dees can attest to). Pick 2 and the toump (who is a proud Adelaide boy and would no doubt love being close to his apparently very supportive family) would be better than two picks from this years draft (eg 2 and our second rounder). The other live issue is Danger leaving end of next year. If the crows make the finals they'll only get around pick 10 for him and the issue of the age bubble will not be addressed. I would love to see Danger in red and blue. One of my favorite players. If we got him we'd snare him until the end of his career. We'll offer him big, big dollars and a 6-7 year contract i reckon.

Red Demon, i think you miss an important point. This can only be considered a stunning recruiting success (even if it was triggered by Col deciding to chase premiership glory - thanks Col). Col goes and we get Bernie. Pure gold. Even a cursory glance at DL would show how terrible people think our recruiting has been over the (very long) journey. Lets celebrate this success and wish Col all the best at fulfilling his god given talent.

Pick 2 to gws. Cameron to ctows. Danger to the dees.the old 3 way

Bombers verdict to be delivered on Friday

Only according to the AFLPA. it's yet to be tested and whilst the bombers could do without another court case i'm sure they would go down that path if necessary. That said that possibility creates leverage and ultimately the question for any club that has a dissatisfied player who is not a FA but keen to leave (eg the lions last year) is do you keep them at the club against their wishes or try and engineer the best trade possible.

Like shooting fish in a barrel. By the by who are you quoting?

100% agree. Overrated is wines

Sorry od, have I missed something? Is this thread (which is, by the by called Ollie wines, not did we make a blunder selecting the toump not wines) about who is a better player wines or the toump? Maybe we should start a thread about McRae and stringer and their relative worth compared to wines. McQueen, old dee et all get back to me when you've perfected your time machine. Until then I'll support the young fellas playing for my club

The toump plays for the team I barrack for. Wines plays for an opposition side. Similarly I don't care about McRae or stringer. Build a fuckn bridge

I hope they don't go cold on Frost
