  1. I feel sorry for you George. Parish will end up being elite, something chunk will never reach. I would only dream that Oliver would reach the dithering heights of Dangerman & Stringer.
  2. What gives me the [censored] is our club hasn't leaked one little bit of info. I want the old Melbourne back where Motor Mouth Connolly would open up with, tonight we will pick Jordon Gysberts, I assure you he will be better than our priority pick and pick one in a couple of years. I want those leaks NOT!
  3. The bummers want a tall KPP and a mid fielder. If we don't take Weideman, they will probably take him and Curnow who has the versatility to play forward, back or midfield. We then get left with Parish and Francis. Not bad mind you, but a good tall and a Midfielder looks better.
  4. Apart from the Gee Gees, I am really bored. When does pre season training start?
  5. 1, 9. 11 not necessarily in that order They could run last 2nd last 3rd last.
  6. Melbourne have only mentioned 2nd round pick. They didn't mention pick 25 That leaves the door open to trade 25 out in another deal and get a 30 something back in return. This then becomes our 2nd pick which we could trade for Melksham. We want to let Toumas go back to Adelaide, they at the moment have pick 32 (Round 2)
  7. A fit player, can run and kick both feet. A steal at 25, what would you get at 25 in this years draft?
  8. This thread is for Delisting / Trades not draft picks. Bail, Jones (M) jamar Toumpas, Mckenzie Michie. Riley. Spencer. These immediately come to mind. Trengove will be given a go. Petracca is a given. Trade in wise I hope we can get someone??? Who that is is anyone's guess. ( Danger ) Treloar would be handy. Rumour is the pies. What can they offer him that we can't? Tomlinson is an old fav. of mine and great mates with Dom. We also need a CHF ( not a mobile 2nd string ruckman) Hunt should get an up grade from rookie.
  9. The team obviously knew the kick could go anywhere according to vince's comment.So why were 't the team planted for the miss kick.?
  10. Speaking of f/s. What point penalty would we get for Lovett.
  11. The endeavour shown by the players for four quarters was good. The skill in trying to hand ball so many times without getting the ball out of the defensive 50 was the problem. So on today's effort most have a stay of execution. Perhaps pedo and pig dog are shaky. Michie is not living up to the hype everyone makes of him. Bail, will go. McKenzie gawn. Jamar on your way. Howe up for Trade. Matt jones bye bye.
  12. He may love the club but the almighty $$$ talks How many worth their salt have shown loyalty to the club above love for the $$$

    Loved him since his first couple of games in the back pocket. Just marked everything that came his way.
  14. He showed a lot on Saturday. Far more than a lot that have been in the system. His body is strong and mentally is as tough as anyone I have seen for a long time. The self confidence is great, but he has a fantastic confidence in a the team mates he has playing with him. He will get better and will lift the team confidence.
  15. We only have about 14 years to wait.I don't know about you chook. There's an even money chance I'll be 6 foot under by then.
  16. A bird in the hand is always better than two in the bush.
  17. So now you are 4 hours into your hangover, are you feeling tired and the head is a throbber. I'm jealous. I was the dedicated driver yesterday. You can only drink so much mineral water. Today sitting back watching the cricket and lubricating the tonsils.
  18. Wasn't a bad horse in the 60's. I do remember the tins of tobacco, pretty coarse stuff if I remember rightly.
  19. IF.... Frawley goes and Petracca is available at 2 we will take him. And trade the compensation for another elite midfielder. IF.....Frawley stays we will trade 2 for an experienced elite mid. I can't see any other option.

    T. McD. Didn't cost us the game against Norf. There were about 7-8 others that didn't pull their weight that contributed to the ball coming in very quick. 1 week is a long time in footy. Agains the bummers he alone decided to go inboard with 1 min left and gave the ball to viney then crossy to Salem. End of story.
  21. Petracca sounds good. Capricornian. Like me 92 kg. like me Nick named Quadzilla almost like me "Thunder thighs" Big difference he is 15cm taller and can obviously play football.
  22. It's not sounding like a very interesting first round. Adelaide would certainly want a first round. Who would they be willing to trade for our first pick? Better still who would we like of theirs to top our coffers?
  23. We don't want him to become one of you favourite players Giro. you put the jinx on your favs. Sylvia, Moloney.......... Frawley. Dont nominate favourites for another 10 years at least.
