  1. Look, I still like Kemp. I know the ACL impacted his season (obviously) but I think he's one that a number of clubs may end up saying 'why didn't we...'. If we were able to split the pick and somehow grab him and a Sharp or Bergman I'd be wrapped. I don't think so though. Very easy to overthink here. At least i do.
  2. Dazzle, I'm loving that you're all over this. I'm a little like you in that I'm undecided about the value of splitting pick three. You mentioned Bergman in another thread. I'm wondering whether we would look at him as the second banana if we did split the pick? I know you liked Sharp as well. Would you have Sharp ahead of him, granted they're different players.
  3. You're right of course BBO. I fleetingly imagined us as a club without direction and significant financial backing. And with players not knocking down the door to join us. That won't happen again. Nurse, my medication please.
  4. My wordy yes BBO. Do you remember when all the Carlton players (I'm talking 30 years ago) used to finish up at StKilda? Please don't let us become that.
  5. Well, it's all academic AF. Looks like he's joining us and good luck to him. Some urgency to his game could make me a convert.
  6. Why ridiculous? Both were/are seen as surplus to the needs of the GWS footy club. Whether they played most games or few games, that's the end result. Jaksch was seen as a player who could fill a gap, he was of similar size and seen by the Blues as able to play several possies. I suspect we see Tomlinson as in a similar mold but with more ability. And what bit about 'I'm a little concerned' don't you get? It means that I'm not sold on him. I have been underwhelmed by his last few games. I'm not alone. Would you prefer that I tell you he's the second coming? He's not but if he comes to the club I hope he does well and, as mentioned, I hope I'm wrong.
  7. I'm a little concerned that he may be for us what Kristian Jaksch was for Carlton. I get that he may be a role player and so forth. I just think the bloke seems to lack urgency and a bit of mongrel. Hope I'm wrong.
  8. Not denying they're a big club but I reckon Richmond now has as many faux supporters as Hawthorn when they were travelling. And that's saying something.
  9. Top 4 it is Ben E. You told me this season was an aberration and I'm willing, albeit reluctantly, to accept your wisdom on the matter. Burgess, yeah that's his name. And Inokashira Park it is.
  10. I think the same Swooper.
  11. Not sure if I've created a new topic before so forgive me if this bloke's been covered. But I do like the look of Brodie Kemp, given we will probably be bumped down one. https://www.espn.com.au/afl/story/_/id/26483254/shades-bont-brodie-kemp-continues-rise He did his knee in July? but at 192 cm and with acceleration in the contest, he appeals. In a perfect world we'd split our pick and get another inside the first round (doubt it). It's whether the club can be patient, knowing that he wouldn't make his debut until the 2020 Prelim. And besides, I can't get my head around a Caleb Serong at 178cm as a pick three. Wonder if anyone else here has him as high as me?
  12. A few things stuck out for me last night. Firstly, Fyfe is an extraordinary talent but is also just as impressive off the field. When he spoke about preparation and dedication to the 'craft' of leadership, it was hard not to reflect on where we're at as a club in respect to this. Secondly, he was number 20 in the draft. His journey was not a simple one but it reinforces that the elite of our game are not often the number one draft picks. Finally, what I wouldn't give for us to find an out and out midfield star like him....just one in my lifetime.
  13. If Anderson is available and we don't pick him we may as well shut up shop. Or re-draft Lucas Cook
  14. Max Gawn is a champion.
  15. I'm backing Stephenson to make a difference. So is he.
  16. Ask Trump
  17. In terms of coaching nous, Leon Cameron makes Mark Neeld look like Norm Smith.

    She's been known to misspell words. I'd put her on a front loaded contract.

    We are effectively fielding a team of dwarves.

    Melbourne v Sydney on Friday night is must-see TV. Two teams desperate to remain in touch of the top eight.
  21. A game plan devised in a sheltered workshop
  22. Funnily enough i thought we were a sneaky chance today. Good judge.
  23. If you look at the Suns list, there is some serious talent there. Lukosius, King, Miller, Martin, Dawson, two metre Peter, Day Their top end talent is right up there. For them to be 40 pts down at half time against a depleted Collingwood suggests they're readying their top two draft picks pitch. What I'm really saying is I want Anderson.
