BAMF

Both were at a similar skill level. If we had kept Pedo we will still have the same problem if TMac or Weid is unavailable. But yes. It would be great to have a good third option.

Friday night wins are the best! I get to spend the whole weekend thinking and talking about how good we are. If we lose on Friday night then I take all of Saturday to remain [censored] off but am over it enough on Sunday to enjoy the last of my weekend. Losing on a Sunday with work incoming on the Monday is a real downer and I dont know how my family put up with me to be honest.

When will they stop tinkering with the classic aspects of our game? For the love of god! Just throw that one year tradition out the window.

Welcome Jack!

Was just watching the Suns draft night trade on the AFL website. http://www.afl.com.au/video/2018-12-12/draft-night-drama-suns-play-highstakes-game-to-get-their-man At around the 3 min mark they start discussing trading up to get Jez Mclennan and when Stuart Dew asks who will be left if at their next picks (26 & 31) if they dont trade up. Craig Cameron mentions Sparrows name but I they clearly dont rate him as high as Mclennan. They also thought we would take Valente if we had the chance.

Nice off season topic. 1) I would have to say that vandenBerg has had the best career to date. He really came into the team from day 1 and showed some great form for awhile. He was up and down at times which I think was part of his injuries. Despite being out for nearly 2 whole years he would hard to go past for best career so far. 35 games to his name certainly helps his case as well as coming back into the team and showing good form again at the end of the year which is fresh in my mind. I had written him off for the year and at best thought we would delist and rookie him in the hopes of him coming good. There are only 2 other possible selections here. Bailey Fritsch nudges out Hannan for second place by a bees [censored]. Hannan is a bit inconsistent for me. 2) Bailey Fritsch. Still young and has lots of improvement left in him. A bit like an opening batsman, Fritsch has time to get settled at the crease and develop into something good. I cant see vandenBerg's bash and crash sledge hammer style giving him a long career. He is more your 20/20 type player.

He should be excited. We all should. We have been through hell and have come out the other side. We have done all the hard work and have held strong when everything was going against us. I am hopelessly emotionaly attached to this club and I for one savoured every moment of 2018. 2019 onwards is going to be a blast. If you haven't renewed your membership yet, or are considering getting your first... Do it now. Our list is the real deal. Get on board and enjoy the ride!

You can just imagine the marketing guys, cant you? Marketing Man 1 : 'You know what people like? The grand final. That is the most watched game of the year' Marketing Man 2: 'Yeah, you know what would be better? 3 grand finals!' Marketing Man 1: 'Whoa! that would be so awesome! What do you think Gill?' Gill: 'I dont give a [censored] about the game. Do what you want.' Marketing Man 2: 'You know what sucks? The offseason. Why don't we expand the draft over 2 nights!' Marketing Man 1: 'Yeah! Sick idea bro'

Mitch got his surname tattoed on his back. Only problem was that he got it done in old english cursive and the artist did an E instead of a C. So Mitch has a tattoo which says 'Elark'

Tigers and West Coast are by far the best 2 off the top of my head in my opinion.

3 years.

Let's not sugar coat it. He was a steak knives part of the May trade for a reason. I wouldn't be judging his ability based on any games he played this year. The last two seasons have been pretty much written off by concussion concerns. His junoir years and first few years at the Sun's were good and he showed his elite disposal and decision making skills. He would have been very frustrating as a fan as he would show patches of great play and then could go completely missing for large periods of games. He often struggles to get the ball but when he does he can use it extremely well. We will be hoping that he can get his confidence back or he won't get anywhere. He has been in the system for 5 seasons now and will be reaching his prime physically. He had the skills we want and plays in a position we lack depth in. He cost us very little and in my opinion is a great pickup for us. It's similar to the Dean Kent trade for the saints. They knew that they could get him cheap as chips and if he gets a good run with injury, his form and ability will far exceed the price they paid. It will be a bargain. If not.. well they gave up bugger all for him so no big loss. Kade is the same for us. If he puts it all together in a good environment then we could have an excellent player for very little.

Knightmare was the mock recruiter for Collingwood. He didn't match the bid.

Wasn't that Hutchings who went missing? Did Lockhart go missing too?

I think a few people in here think that we will pick him up on the rookie list.

We got Jordan Lewis and Jeffy Garlett for basically nothing. Still... Its the trade period. It shouldn't be hard for the Saints to get a pick around the 50s to satisfy us.

Really? I didnt get to watch as many neutral games as I normally do this year. Why have the fans turned on him?

Who told you though? A friend who knows May well? Someone who you remotely know who remotely knows May? Someone who is involved in football at AFL level? A person who knows Judds Grandma? Stuies facebook page? Not asking you to name your source, just for a bit more clarity of where the info is coming from?

Why would we leave the seat empty? So dumb. On the one hand they think we are all Range Rover driving, Cheese loving, Bulla Skiing Toffs, and on the other they think we cant pay for a ticket to Perth and back?

I dont think so. The contact was there. He just let it happen. He could have braced. You dont know the difference ? Lol. No mention of Burgoyne or Gunston for exaggerating contact on the below the knee frees? What about Selwood grabbing his forehead when viney hit him in the chest?

I like what they are doing up there. Pick up Neale and Wallis and they would worry a lot of teams next year. Their midfield will go from average to strong. Problem is that we would only get a third rounder for Kent. He would be worth so much more if he could stay fit. Do we bite the bullet and take the third? I would rather keep him. I agree. Why are the Cats chasing him? Bizarre in my opinion. This is another weird one. Why top up with players and then trade out one of your more promising players? Surely you would try for another shot at the flag. Completely goes against what they did last year.

just to add more to the half truths/unknown... didnt he play rugby as a youth and only switch to afl in his draft year?

Glad to see im not the only one who thinks Harmes has gone past Petracca. A fully fit Viney would be 3rd behind Gawn/Oliver. No way Jones is in our top 6 players anymore. I will come back and provide a 22 when I have more time.

I would much rather give it to Johnstone.
