HWFUA?

Does that include stuie?

Truth be told it's you that are fortunate to accompany us. We had a vote and came to the conclusion it was our civic duty to look after the frail, infirm and decrepit. Hence your inclusion.

Seems 6 year+ deals are the new black. Unbelievable that 10 yrs ago 3 yr deals were perceived as long, 2 yr was standard

TMac is having a few poor games after numerous blinders earlier in the season. Big guys take more than 70 games to reach their peak, and as others have said he's only 22. Apart from his kicking he's a star. I'd rather he went with his first option and occasionally fail than over cook the disposal waiting for 3rd or 4th option each time like the toump

Agree with much of what you say Tony. We are much improved in the midfield. But can you honestly say we have 10-12 mids of AFL standard like the better teams do? Not Bail or MJones. Vince has 2 and Cross 0 years left imo. Trenners is not likely unfortunately. Petracca, ANB and Stretch we are still yet to secure a 22 spot, maybe Vanders too. Many on here want Toump and Watts traded. That leaves NJones, Tyson, Brayshaw, Viney and perhaps Salem as certain good AFL mids. Thin, is the word I'd use to describe our midfield.

I'd only trade up the draft order if the target we were after was an 18 yr old gun mid, not for a KP type. We still need more mids, particularly mids of high quality. That's been the priority for years (or should have been). Personally I'd be happy if the club traded it's first and second round picks if it meant we got a gun mid aged around 23, eg. Prestia, Treloar. Go get 'em Taylor!

No advertising permitted on here dc. We know that you are on the pay roll of that famous Scottish restaurant.

Remember a couple of weeks ago when you said Roos should give his pay back and leave? Massive LOL

Viney has an old head on his young shoulders. Mature beyond his years. Will be wonderful to watch his career develop.

I fear for the emotional well being of the alpacas Earl. BBO is on a flogging frenzy atm. Small children and the elderly should be warned.

Possibly Stu, but being found out by injuries has probably got more to do with carrying guys that have limited ability such as Bail, MJones, Terlich, Fitzy, Spencil, McKenzie and possibly Hunt. In recent years it's also included Nico, Evans, etc. A rookie who's been on the list for less than a year and whose widely considered to have a deadly left foot is worth persevering with for at least another year IMO. Given Roos/Taylor/Viney selected him (as opposed to Neeld), he deserves 2 years at least.

About the same year you'll hit puberty Toady.

Interesting that the censored word in my reply quote was not censored in your original post Song, but no doubt will in the next little while.....

Sorry for being a positive teetotaller.

You selling weed dc? Typical Burwood trait.....

Bit of dead wood around here that needs felling. Start with bbo and dc.

And this is what will reoccur over that time Goodvibes:

Sorry to tell you, but he told me they were plucked from his great aunt in a nursing home in Burwood, I believe. Do you know her?

Sorry if I offended your dietary intolerances dc. Do they pre-chew your toast for you where you are?

Hey! I like wholemeal toast. Better than the suburban white bread you find in the bakeries of small towns such as Romsey. Much like their inhabitants.

Broomhead got swept up by Jack last week

Will be interesting to see whether the new F/S and academy rules shake out similar quality players from the Swans, GWS or Bris, or will it be smoke and mirrors by the AFL giving an appearance that they are not providing another leg up to the rugby stronghold states.
