BAMF

who deleted my post and why? you could at least send me a private message and tell me why instead of just deleting it.

GWS might just be stupid enough to collect all the Mortons. All out of favor and crazy Sheedy would love it.

He's one of those players that i love to hate. I would love nothing more than see a demon clean him up. Much like Brent Harvey. If he played for us he would be my favorite player.

The thread title is 'Sam Blease' What did you expect?

I was also impressed with Watts. Pretty sure it was after one of Sylvia's goals that you could see Watts clapping his hands and trying to get the other boys pumped up. He was also pointing to players and telling them what to do. In comparison Brad 'Caretaker Captain' Green had a sip from his water bottle and walked back to his position.

Tom McDonald signed a standard 2 year contract. Contracted until the end of next year. He's not going anywhere. Personally I think Maric should get another year but it isn't looking good for him. He's not getting a game. Even though Wonna is no longer competing for his spot. Warnock will ask for a trade.Rumours late last year was that he was unhappy not getting a game in the seniors. He is getting less this year than last. Someone will bite if we give him away for a third round pick. Edit: Just found out that he might be out of contract. If that's the case he can leave for nothing. This is also fine by me.

You wanted Palmer. The way you paraded yourself around as a star recruiter when Palmer won the rising star was embarrassing. How is Palmer going now?

I'm not ready to give up on Dunn yet. His form late last year was very good.

Dunn is contracted for next year if my memory serves me correctly. Doubt anyone will want his services enough to trade for him. Bate is gone.

Oh dear.

Have a look at their list. What does it teach you? Don't hold onto not quite rights hoping they come good. A clean out is needed at that club.

Awesome. They will jump at that. 3 guys who look like getting delisted, one who looks to get delisted next year and our 2nd rounder worth around pick 35 for there best young player!

I don't think we are in a position to top up like the hawks and collingwood did. I would love us to go through the draft again, however if a great young player did become available I would be keen to have a crack. Personally I would love for us to target Dangerfield, Rockliff, Redden, Mitch Clark, Jackson Trengrove. None of these players are likely to be available. Which is fine. Ill be happy with the draft. Jesse White from the Swans if he was cheap as well.

This is correct. Miller stint in the ruck was absolutely terrible last weekend. I reckon they will put Vickery in the ruck when he gets nothing down forward. Our defenders are much better than brisbanes on the weekend.

That would mean we would have to bring in Warnock or play Martin in defense. I would still give Garland first crack, Vickery is starting to play some good footy. He is tall and quick and doesn't mind a contest. Basically, at this stage of his career he is everything we hope Fitzpatrick can be.He had an awesome game last week against the lions. But lets look at the Brisbane defense. Merrett was out. That leaves no one of on any decency for Brisbane's tall defense. Also lost Clark at about the half way mark. So tall stocks were down. The tigers midfield will have to get the ball in super quick for Vickery to get enough of a lead to beat Garland. Martin would be able to go to Vickery if the delivery to him is quick enough. Lets not forget that Martins first game he was brought in to compete with an inform J.Brown. Probably had the better of him that day too. I'm warming to this idea of playing 3 rucks. Jamar and Martin could rotate between ruck and full forward and Gawn can back up ruck. Also allows us the freedom of playing Martin permanently in defense on Vickery if needed. Richmonds flankers are in good shape with Delidio, Newman and Houli all playing well. But there tall defenders are all complete rubbish. Rance was seen at the airport icing his knee, so he is in doubt. If we play Jamar forward they may be force to bring in Post. Would be a massive win for us. There forward line of J.Riewoldt, Vickery and Miller doesn't really send chills down my spine. As long as Chip is on his game he will have the better of Riewoldt. Who else plays forward? The push up King? probably out for a week suspension which is good for us. I admire King for getting the most out of himself in recent times. Midfield will decide the out come though. There mids look better on paper. If they get on top in the midfield I fear we may [censored] ourselves and give up like the many other times we have this year. Richmond have had some really slow starts this year. If we can get on top early and get our confidence up then we may well smash them. If we are about even at quarter time we will have a struggle on our hands. And we don't usually go to well with tight games recently. I'm really excited about this match. With our side this year we could smash them or we could get completely blown away!

I find the fact that people are waiting for a 'breakout' game strange. Why does he need to have a breakout game? Why can't he just continue to improve at the rate he is going at the moment. If he shows gradual improvement like he has soon he will be creeping up to 4 and 5 goal games soon enough.

Stef Martin can go back if we play 3 rucks. Only if Vickery proves too tall for the others.

Ha!

I don't think so. He definately deserves it, but spots on the senior list are precious this year. Will be a lot of hard decisions already without finding another spot for a rookie.

What the hell is going on??? Casey losing to Coburg??

Whats 2 + 2 = ? Don't say 4. I wont buy it.

Matthew Scarlett and Darren Glass say hi. Both 192

He got the tatts after being drafted.

How is it effecting the club? That settles it. You and your wife both thought the same thing. Therfore it must be true.

How do you feel about the Brisbane Lions now? Do you hold a soft spot for them as they are part of your old team? Or do you see them as completely separate team? Also how long did it take you from Fitzroy's demise to take up a new team?
