  1. Leg speed issue. We have a one-paced midfield and that's why Stretch gets a look in ahead of him. ANB would need Tyson to be dropped or Jones / Viney to be injured. Also, think tank is good - but not elite - only one full pre-season behind him - has injured knee and late start in first year.
  2. We need leg speed - but not a lot at casey in form. Need Stretch to find form petracca to take Harmes place and trenners to take tysons spot. out :. Pederson, Matt Jones, bugg, in :. Frost, ABV, grimes,
  3. Agree 3183. Too many sooks in the Dee supporter ranks. Harden up, stick fat, learn to enjoy the ups and grow a thick skin for the downs. So sick of supporter negativity and emotional rants. Dees by 21 points next week.
  4. everyone needs to grow a pair and man up. Stick fat - you can't choose to get off this ride once you are on. So remember things in footy are never as good as they seem and never as bad as they seem. dees by 21 points next week.
  5. He was certainly touted an equal talent to Carey at the time and post '94 finals series he was one of the hottest properties in the AFL. Never would have had the commitment and leadership ability of Carey but would have been an exciting ride if he didn't do 3 knees.
  6. If true - confirms everything I've thought about Gary for the past 10 years - selfish, arrogant, [censored].
  7. Grimes looks in great nick - make or break year for him
  8. Let's look at the positive......it will keep him off his feet so he can't do another ACL in the next 4 weeks!
  9. Think they will payout Terlich contract, Hunt to be delisted and rookied.
  10. If he can't play as a big mid fielder, then he's undersized. Get a pure mid or key position size forward.
  11. Yep and his fat dad - earning his $100k p.a scouting o'rourke, plowman and jaksch. If only we'd had time last year to offload Howe for pick 7 and $650k p.a into their cap.
  12. Dees cocked up with Toump - but 2012 is a horror draft for GWS. - pick 1 Whitfield - looks good but no Wines, Macrae or Stringer. - pick 2 O'Rourke - bust - pick 3 Plowman - bust - now bundled up with 4 other (Summner former pick 10) to Blues for Pick in late 20's! - pick 12 Jaksch - bust And now SOS is trusted to rebuild Carlton's list!
  13. Same manager suspended through the Tippett saga
  14. We seriously need to bring Gubby Allen to the club and move Josh M down a peg.
  15. $1.4mill over 3 with 4th yr option - I'd do this if I was club. It's $466k a year - probably $66k a year over the odds but he covers that in marketing value - my son loves him - one of the only reasons I can get him to watch the Dee's.
  16. Incredible to think Scully is one of the 2 players on $1mill - and $100k for the old man that got too fat to tile roofs anymore.
  17. Good - much prefer him to Dawes. Roos just needs to put some confidence into him
  18. Our drafting rightly gets hammered. But Gee Whiz GWS have blown some picks. In 2012 they had O'Rourke at 2, Plowman at 3 and Jaksch at 12 - all now gone.
  19. In an ordinary football side he'd be a very ordinary footballer
  20. T$'s best mate won't come to dees. And thank fark for that.
  21. Don't have a lot of time for Caro - but rarely gets it wrong as her info comes straight from AFL house usually. I think for Port to land Dixon (having just re-signed Schultz) they are going to have to lose someone good and their midfield runs deep. Hartlett would be the logical one to sacrifice given poor hamstring history and not meant to be the best of blokes. Still think he'd be a good get for Dees as long as trade is fair. Get the feeling the Dees don't "love" anyone with their first pick - unlike last year when we locked in on Brayshaw and others early. Don't think Parish and other top mids are Roos type.
  22. That trade is reasonable. Weak draft - our pick 24 is like 40 any other year. No guarantees with that pick.
  23. If woosha doesn't take it and they've said they want experience then Macca would have to be a great chance ---- faaark it.
  24. It's no different to last year - doesn't mean there is a fire sale and we'll give them away, just means all players have a price apart from an elite few.
  25. Good call - would make paying overs seem a little more palatable.
