Freeman does look bloody good.

LOL by far the worst comparison going around.

Your saying we should get Crouch yet he cant kick, not a big endurance base at all for a midfielder, very slow, and lacks the work ethic at training.

Please.

38 possessions a game.

Apparently, once he gets those possessions, he is very effective with spotting up another player.

Too many of you are preoccupied with icing, instead of the cake. Crouch IS the cake. So is Freeman, but he looks like a dasher to me, much like Nicholson. And remember back to when Nicholson first started playing games for MFC, and bombed goals from outside 50. He plays a very similsr game to Freeman.

What cant be doubted is the uncanny absolute ball winning ability of Crouch. He has the appetite for dominance, and could always dish it to the outside Toumpas, Blease or Watts.

Crouch is our man.

The more I think about it, the more Freeman looks like another Nicholson.

and dont be surprised if club recruiters are talking to each other. ofcourse they are. they have a fair indication of who is going where.

why else would wce give up pick 6 when they desperately want sheed. he will be their next captain.

a gentlemans agreement has been formed, and the first round has already been scripted, almost.

You are reading too much into what is on the club website.

The AFL have a certain control over what is on the website, just because it is on there doesn't mean we put it there.

And it certainly doesn't mean that 10 clubs come together before the draft and tell each other who they are going to draft.

That is laughable.

avg 38 possesions per game.

have you seen how he hunts the ball?

ofcourse we should grab him. he would immediately be our biggest possession winner..

and please,, dont give me talk about salem. crouch destroys him.

crouch is our man.

the top 11 have already been sorted.

all the clubs have worked out who they are going to get, and have discussed it amongst themselves.

I think we will go for Crouch on pure feriouciousness, ala todd viney.

then we will make a serious play for his brother.

avg of 38 possesion a game, the guy is a freak, and he has a freakier big bro.

crouch is the one, it even written on the walls of mfc.com. why would you do that if it aint a sure thing.

good on ya viney, you learnt fast after the 'wines' incident.

I think he will be there at 40 and that we will not pick him.

Let hope we are not that stupid, unless Cavarra is there instead.

Tell what to them? That you don't have a clue what you're on about?

I don't think they'd need me to tell them...

No,

The MOST important facet of a footballer, is the ability to get the ball. Whether it be inside, outside, or taking marks. If you have the innate ability to get heaps of the ball, then you are worth gold.

Anyone think we should re-draft him as a mature aged rookie?

Yes

You clearly don't understand the concept that the quality of those possessions is important.

Did you see how Vic Country went with Crouch getting all those touches?

How about his TAC Cup team?

He's about a 4/10 for skill.

There's a reason phantom drafts have him going about 15-20.

Tell that to Todd viney, Ron barassi and Jimmy stynes.

Crouch avgs 38 possessions a game, and people are talking about Salem instead.

Prenderghastly must have a few relatives on demonland.

There are the 4 players in this draft that will play 200 games;

Scharenberg

Sheed

Freeman

Crouch

These guys are the grouse. Don't worry about the rest. These are the blokes that like the taste of battle.

The perfect storm;

Gardiner

Prenderghastly

G.Lyon

Schwab

Connolly

Bailey

Neeld.

Dear god.

But I'll never forget how most of demonland supported them absolutely blindly.

The great case of the blind leading the blind.

Just had another look at the midfield prospects.

Salem is not a first round pick.

Im not sold on Bontempelli

Freeman and crouch are 200 gamers.

Sheed really looks like he has all the tricks. Leader written all over him. WCE will be in his ear BIGTIME!

If Cavarra slips to the 20's, whoever picks him up would be laughing. Probably the bloody hawks.

he will end up being like tj, but better.

basically our smartest player, our quaterback, our architect.

looks like jamar had little trade value.

dont discount crouch on being selected y us. just watch him hunt the ball and get the darn thing. he is a clone of todd viney.

What's wrong with bails health?

I'm intrigued to know how you know Roos wanted to draft Gysberts?

Because there was strong indications that the Swans were going to pick Gysberts if we had not. As it turned out, we picked Gysberts and Swans got Jetta.

is shiel still contracted?

if not, can we pick him up using our psd pick.

offer him $450k for 3 years.

im not sure how it works.

How else will we pay for Roos?

Strong word Byrnes will retire. Not sure who else is going, but expect at least another 2.

I can only hope. Another neeld dud.

Gee neeld was shite!

Garlett can rotate thru the midfield.

He would be perfect.

Roos might do good things with perderson.

Roos also wanted to draft Gysberts, could there be a rookie position available, third time lucky, and the boy really could find the ball.

We really need a small forward, garlett would be perfect.

Jamar - trade

Taggert - delist

Magner - delist

Bail - trade only

Dom Barry - downgrade to rookie (still to skinny - no rush)

Jetta- only delist if we have too.

We still need to do a deal for jamar, to free up a senior position.

It would be great if we can draft;

Crouch/Freeman

Zac jones

Cavarra

Garlett

Put those players ontop of our existing new recruits, and we have a very exciting list.

I think many of you are tripping. The viney/roos mould of player befits crouch and Freeman, maybe Lennon.
