Moonshadow

Sorry rpfc, didn't realise that telling someone they have something wrong with their brain and anachronism swearing was perfectly fine. In which case, José is brain dead and can GAGF. But I digress, back to training reports...

Settle Gretle. The post that originally mentioned this talked of him looking fwd to playing in the VFL next year and that his target weight was 104kg, all in the same sentence. It could be taken that may have been his target whilst playing VFL next year. No need for poster abuse.

Adelaide may have thought this up, but they sure as hell didn't make it public without work shopping it first with Angry Anderson and his crew. No club would be stupid enough to make such an offer without knowing what they will get out of it as a result. It's a bit like a lawyer never asking a question in court without already knowing what the response will be.

Jeeezus! That's a big load for a teenage frame to take. I don't think my little car can take a 104kg load!

I think Matt Rendell would be a bit peeved. He gets the boot immediately upon his indescretion with no opportunity to defend himself and this buffoon Trigg is still CEO. Two different scenarios, admittedly. Go figure.

Giving up very average draft picks to minimise losing future draft picks that may be better... Could this be considered draft manipulation?

Are you Mark Neeld? Otherwise there's a lot of assumptions in your comments. In fact, Neeld himself has said that Watts will be a fixture in the back line in 2013. I'll believe him. Take the best available at pick 4. If Toumpas is there, I believe it will be him. And he is exactly what we need to balance J Viney, Jones, Magner, Trengove, Grimes, etc. Toumpas is all class and too good to pass up on. We've shot ourselves in the draft foot too many times in the past few years. Best available.

Good points, DD. Jamar would make a good mentor to Grundy, given his experience. In three years time when Jamar is retiring, we could very well have the best ruckman in the league, and only 21 years old.

That means Jack Viney will be lucky not to blow away in a stiff breeze!

C'mon Rangey, we know you wanna bump the JW vs NN poll. I reckon i can feel your fingers circling the keyboard as we write.

Great work. Seemless photoshopping. I'm convinced she's in their gang. Call the age's editor quickly.

I think GWS have an abundance of really good midfield talent, WD. Sure they'd like more, but my guess is that they have a greater need for a quality big ruckman and perhaps a strong, goal kicking fwd in the mould of Steve Johnson. That's why they may take Whitfield (too good to pass up), Grundy and Menzel. I'm with you in that if Toumpas is available, pick him up and carry him straight to the club rooms.

It's already got to the stage where it is difficult to talk to the person next to you at qtr or half time. Much too loud.

We may recoup our legal costs from the payout after we sue CW for defamation.

Talk about guilty before being proven innocent. Where has natural justice gone?

Go somewhere else and argue guys.

Don't forget Sellar.

Just look at KB. Fearsome unit that one.

She keeps going on, article after article, with no names, no clear quotes to prove guilt, no email trails, lots of assumptions, etc. Makes me wonder if she might actually have some damning evidence that she is saving up for a rainy day. Why else would she be harping on day after day about it, convinced her case is watertight. Really, she's actually prejudicing any hope of a fair hearing that the club might have. Without naming any names or showing any convincing proof, she's labelled us guilty. This latest piece of emotional writing is truly disgusting itself. Nothing new, no facts to prove guilt, lots of accusations, plenty of liable comment. She really has a bee in her bonnet about the club, CC, CS and DMcL. She and denham should get back to writing real stories. Show some balance and professionalism, caro.

Would like to know where CW is getting her stories from. Someone from within or an ex employee is talking to her. Unless someone from the investigation is taliking

Has anyone considered that if they take pick 4 off us this year, they are likely to also remove our 2nd round pick ie. Viney?

Lucky we've got a good Chip then, eh?

Victories.

The guy wants about $1mill per year for 4 yrs minimum. How can GWS possibly find that kind of space in their salary cap at this stage in their planning for 2013? They'd have to delist a couple of decent players on $300-400k p/a, surely. Can't see it happening. But it'd be nice if he went 1, 2 or 3 in the ND. Give us more choice at 4. Go for it, Sheeds!

Geez I was wrong on at least 3 of the keepers. Glad I'm not on the list management team. I'd struggle big time. Looking forward to seeing how things progress, especially with further testing at training this week. Interesting times.
