Yep, also true!

True. Or you could take it as pedalling the usual cliched crap that doesn't mean anything, and not taking account of any surrounding circumstances.

The quality of these previews can be summed up by reading this one... 8. James Frawley James has been a standout performer. He’s fit, strong and using the ball well. His leadership continues to improve every week. – Jade Rawlings

I can't believe such a ridiculous OP has garnered 40 replies, and I further can't believe I'm adding another.

Actually, folks, it is quite hard to get kicked out of the cricket. There were 70 something ejections in a crowd of 70,000. There is nothing wrong with having a holiday, but cr@p - what a bunch of complete, total, morons. And to everyone saying there were Geelong and Richmond players involved, come on! Seriously?

Oooo nice bump. Can't believe this was even seriously proposed as a poll. I miss NoMoreMrRangeRover...

Why are we all so focussed on Sylvia? It is so boring continually potting the guy. I haven't seen any preseason sessions, but it seems like there are at least 10-15 players who are absolutely smashing themselves. Why can't we focus on McDonald, Nicholson, Howe, Viney, Blease and the others who people continually indicate are working their backsides off?

You usually contribute really good stuff, but is there any chance you could respond without twisting the thread to talk about Colin Sylvia? Did the same thing with Morton every second time you posted...

It seems realistic to expect that Viney, and our bigger bodied recruits, could have a fairly instant impact. After all, we clearly drafted them for that, where a lot of other clubs will be comfortable for their picks to make little or no impact next year. I think the article is pretty spot on, actually, although I still think we are all expecting too much from Viney.

This is the closest I've seen... I can't think of anybody else to include.

Could have taken Wilkes, and not had him kick all of his career goals against us this year...

Snap.

From a football perspective, it is absolutely spot on.

Changing your name doesn't mean it isn't boring when you post the same threads under the new one.

I opened this thread actually ready to type: 'IT'S CLARK'. Clearly, no need.

Think he was joking mate - that was a great training report, with heaps of detail!!

Does seem to be a popular choice, doesn't it!

I wouldn't worry too much WYL.They are stuffed, even worse than us, and it is just a matter of when. I think it's not too big a leap to say that if the TV rights deal didn't require 9 games, they'd be in line to be punished so severly that they'd go under.

Except that they sort of do!

Why does seemingly everybody have us taking defenders? Even with Bartram gone, I would have thought our number 1 priority was midfield depth. Then again, what would I know!

To be fair, with one or two dazzling exceptions, that is also a hell of a lot of spud.

Now you have confused me. I'm reading your post as 'he's skills wont get him far' and it doesn't make any sense! See now why spelling be important?

Zero credibility. Not one of those players will come within a bull's roar of doing the job they want Watts to do.

2013 Watts, Sylvia (UFA), Davey (RFA), Gysberts, Morton, Grimes, Taggert, Gawn, Martin, Tynan, Fitzpatrick, Nicholson, Evans, Rodan, Gillies 2012 OOC (in number order) Bartram, Bennell, Petterd, Cook, Jurrah, MacDonald, Jetta, Davis, Sellar Rookies (upgrade or delist) Lawrence ® Rookies (1 year option) Couch, Magner, Sheahan, Williams RFA Moloney UFA Green, Rivers, Bate, and Dunn. This is really interesting - assuming Davis goes, and Dunn, Sellar and MacDonald got 1 year, you'd have to think all 3 are on the block next year. Who else goes, apart from Davey? I can't see us wanting to get rid of any of the others, unless Rodan is a complete bust. On current numbers, you'd also have to think one of Jetta and Barty are in trouble this year. Oh well, maybe we won't have any draft picks anyway, so it won't matter...

Isn't Finklestein quite steeped in defamation law? Just putting it out there - had a feeling he heard quite a few media and defamation cases on the Fed Ct bench, but I could be wrong.
