Sword fight switcheroo?

I'd reckon you to be more the snorkel and diving mask type dc. A bit like the Trough Monster back in the 90's

Tomlinson, Langdon, Elliot plus Anderson or Young in the draft is not a bad October trade/draft period. Would've preferred one match winning mid with class such as Hill, Jack Martin or Coniglio. Really hope GCS don't get 1 & 2 and we pick Anderson.

Good post. You certainly are a realist.

Anyone want Saturday's lotto numbers?

Question is, does the club rate King higher than Anderson? Personally, I'd rather Anderson.

Who are the talented players we gave up to the Hawks for some low draft pick? We got 3 for Frawley as a FA. Fitzy? Cheney? Yeah nah.

Ever been to Edwin's? Urghhh!

Any updates on Keith from the Crows?

Hill and/or Martin. We either didn't chase them or didn't chase hard enough. Langdon and Tomlinson are upgrades from what we have, but neither are what we really want.

We may not give any draft picks up to get Thomlinson, but we will need to give a decent 4 year deal and he does take up a spot on the list. Is he better than what we currently have? Yes. Is he spot on what we need? Not sure, wouldn't exactly call him an elite outsider. It could be argued that the SC space that Thomlinson would fill could be used as part of a deal getting a bigger fish this year, next year or the year after. It's not as easy as saying "he costs us nothing".

Did someone who's initials are Paul Roos mention "outside run"? That's him commentating

If it's for Paddy McCartin, I'm out a here

A mate of mine has been good friends with Danny for a couple of decades and worked with him at the Tigers. We were talking about Spud only a month ago and he was in tears of laughter reciting some of the funny stories from their past. Sounded like a ripping bloke. He also spoke of how highly he thought of Spud for opening up and getting help for his depression. Vale Spud

Not sure I agree completely. These moves must've been part of tweaking the game plan. Moving Fritter and Petty forward gave us better marking options and imo Fritter is more dangerous and creative by foot in the forward 50 than back. More creative by handball too. I believe I saw less long bombs (but still too many) and more lowering of the eyes. The game in NT vs WCE was evidence of this, and we were close to winning that game. That would be Rawling's influence, or was that before he returned as a forward assistant from Casey??? My point being that there were indicators that change was happening mid season and while we didn't exactly win a stack of games, some changes are likely worth perserving with. I'm sure there will be more changes to how we play as Richo, Burgess and others come into the FD

Sorry, won't happen again.

My source has confirmed this.

Maybe GWS know he's leaving.

In a very disappointing year where there is much to be critical of, I thought using Fritter and Petty as forwards were an improvement in the 2nd half of the season. Two small flecks of gold in a pond of stinking mud

Speaking about his disappointment with Adelaide's communication: "You know what, stuff you guys. I'm going to show Adelaide what they missed out on!" Love your work, Bernie!

And can I buy one from an AFL Store?

I was so excited after that game. Don't know what I'd do if we win a flag in my lifetime. Probably hit every pub in Melb and not come home for a month. The cat may not be happy...

You do realise around that time the AFL put a stop on clubs using the points system to gain unreasonable advantage for academy/FS picks? The points system needs to balance or the AFL won't agree to it. The topic was about splitting picks or maximising trades.... Last year we swapped pick 28 for 36 and 46. Too early to tell, though I believe Marty Hore might've been included there. Not sure though. We also traded one player (Hogan) for May, KK and pick 23 (Swallow). May is a rock, Swallow has big raps from some. Hogan was always likely to leave, better to do it before becoming a FA. KK speculative steak knives The year before we traded Watts for 31 (Fritsch). Don't know about you but I'm pleased with that. And I could go on. Lol, like shooting fish in a barrel!

You are the most negative poster here. Look at your posting history. That's conclusive evidence if ever I've seen it
