Prismall is no better (in my eyes) to Magner, Couch or any other VFL player we could get for nothing. Theres only one winner in a Gysberts for Prismal + 600ml Coke & packet of Twisties, and thats the bummers.

Gysberts for Prismall? FMD

bit early to be discussing this sort of thing isnt it?

So in otherwords you change your mind depending on what the club is doing?

Get a rooms lads....

i just hope drafting these types isnt highlighting the FD having a case of 'the grass is always greener' when it comes to older types.

Watch people opinions of Rodan change as he gets closer to wearing our colours ahaha Seriosuly though, it makes me sick to think we'd offer Rodan a contract yet have retired Green, and seemingly didnt do eveything we could to retain McDonald, Bruce, Rivers and Moloney

righto....

speaking of your beloved Falcons, i saw a brand new Blue XR8 Falcon with West Perth plates and massive red falcon logo on the bonnet the other day. haha looked quite sharp, but a little over the top!

I think signing Ray should be more of a priority than Pederson. We could do with another Mid or two who is comfortable at AFL level. However we have a fair few young guys who could play the pederson role after a good preseason (Fitzy is the obvious choice IMO).

I like Olisk's post above. If Toumpas is available he would be the best fit for our needs IMO. Wines is probably the best available after the top 3 GWS are likley to take, and probably the most ready made mid in the draft?

I feel sorry for Aaron Davey. Was a gun forward, then was asked to play HBF/Mid becasue he was the only player on the list that could hit a target by foot, then he got tagged and the media had a field day on him for all of the shortcomings in his game. Give him a full preseason and play him in a role that suits his fitness levels and theres no reason he cant be a valuable player for us again

all the original teams have great songs. Eagles is probably the worst in the AFL, hands down. Close second would be that eastern block sounding garbage that GWS have.

nope, would waste my time, but perhaps the bloke who told me did? What did it say?

worth a guess, i read the forum footy match writeup and notced that you didnt line up for demonland so realsied i guessed incorrectly!

heard rumours that Gysberts has completed medicals at both Geelong & Essendon?

Grandson of a gun?

I agree with everyone that has said he needs to lift a few gears in 2013. Having said that, out of all the u18 highlight packages released before/after the draft each year, Tapscott's one gave me reason to be optamistic, and im still optamistic. I think once he feels confident at AFL level he will be a major weapon for us. half back, or half forward flank. Nathan Jones reckons he only now feels like he truly belongs at AFL level. Although Tappy's a stong lad, im sure he doesnt feel like he truly belongs in the AFL side just yet. Perhaps after a full preseason and a clear role in a single position he might show us a few more tricks.

Im a fan of Jettas, but this is probably the only post in the thread that reflects reality!

yeah people from outside the club are welcome to take potshots, but we all know we've tried and failed going down the 'put your faith in the draft' route. Time for a different approach

Farmer, Woey, Powell & Mclean for me. Loosing McLean was a shock at the time. He was one of my favourites and seemed to love the club. Loosing Beamer is similar really, played some good footy for us, but got out when they had the chance to leave somewhat on their own terms. Jurrah feels different because i had assumed Neeld might have cut him loose at the end of the year anyway. Scully is a dog. I always smelt a rat, but purchased a jumper with #31 on it the day of his press conference. Lets hope they bestow this honour to Jack Viney so i can wear it with pride

What ever happened to the talk of getting Ben Warren?

I'd prefer to rookie some outside pace/run from the WAFL/SANFL rather than hold onto couch. Kane Mitchell comes to mind

No doubt that Martin could play good footy elsewhere, but he is surplus to our needs, and you cant trade away trash for treasure. Matin & Pederson are probably of a similar value, but seeing as we have Gawn, Spencer and Fitzy on the list, Pederson is more to our needs than martin

i might even fly over for this, the basket-case cup!
