You must be real fun at parties, Lefty

Apologies? Mate, you're not supposed to apologise when you get it wrong on Demonland. You should be making excuses and covering your tracks! BTW, I knew you were wrong all along. Smithy told me last week

Think Andy will have his finger hovering over the 'delete post' button here for a while! Keep posting evil doctor. Great that you can take it in your stride and not throw the toys out of the cot, unlike some others. Its certainly been a fun couple of days in this thread Youll get more hits than miss, I reckon

Like it Dazzle. I want Weid to get stronger through the hips and core. Not necessarily put on more weight, just get stronger so that he doesn't get pushed off the ball as easily. He has many good attributes that we underestimate, and is somewhat a confidence player. Presents well, gets to contests, can hold a grab (despite the naysayers) and knows where the cumbers are are around him. He knows his role, but must get stronger to improve it. Also needs to nail more set shots. All of these things are relatively simple to fix in the scheme of things, pending a big preseason. I'm a Weid fan, so to speak...

Settle down there, pal. That's a ridiculous comment, totally over-the-top. More like 100 goals, I'd say.... ?

If Brown kicks 50, a fit Weid will snag 40 and Jacko 25. Not to mention the small guys scouting around for crumbs. The flag is ours! Sorry, got ahead of myself....

Like this guy while playing for us? ?

But it is possible to 'turn the corner' Do that often enough and one can move forwards and go backwards

Ah yeah. Gotcha.

Has Nate Jones been instrumental in attracting key players? Which ones exactly?

I'm 100% happy if a Ben Brown deal is not announced until both clubs have signed the paperwork. I love a club that is a quiet achiever about these things When a player who isn't a FA announces a new club it brings expectations and potentially raises the cost to that club. Patience grasshopper

On what planet are Preuss and Tmac worth a 1st rounder??? Is it April 1 already?

IMO spread out Club, AFL and MCC members to fill the ground. No GA. But let's get to that point of safety first in March.

Higgins was 1st round pick 17. Played 43 games in 3 years, despite having his brain operation. Saints first pick this year is 14. Second isn't until the late 50s. Will he interestingvm to see how they pull this trade off, and any others that might come up for them.

Assume you are referencing our 2021 1st pick ?

What about mfc 2021 first round pick (say, 7-10) for Brown and 2020 pick we traded to North (currently 9, but likely to end up around 15 or 16 with academy, f/s and fa compo picks). We could throw in a 3rd rounder (tmac?) as well to sweeten the deal. Then trade this pick from North plus something else (Preuss or future selection?) for a pick high enough to land McCrae, if the North pick isn't considered high enough

That's absolutely true, DOX, and might happen very soon, but personally I'm very happy with a club that gets things done quietly than foghorns it out clumsily. eg. Collingwood with Adams. Of course, i'm assuming Brown has chosen MFC

Hold your horses, trade week is yet to come, Dazzle!

Even if the Evil Doctor is wrong, I find it just a bit of fun and good entertainment. IMO he doesn't take it too seriously and I suspect he won't throw the toys out of the cot if wrong, unlike some others

Yes, but Dr Evil has a laugh at it as well. Doesnt take himself or the topic too seriously, which is an important distinction. If wrong, no doubt he'll cop it, but I can't imagine Dr Evil retracting or get cut when wrong

Oh, I see... Thought he meant our resident track watcher

What are you trying to say, chap?
