Demonsterative

Not that there is anything wrong with that!

He doesn't look too tough or a thug in that pic. More like he is off to Mardi Gras

Tourette's Big Frog???? ;-)

The 'Irony' here stuie, is if one disagrees with you you see it as an attack. Pls Explain?

Machsy, I always read posts from you trying to up hold the integrity of this site. You hate a thread being derailed. Yet i just read in another thread you abusing another poster calling them a TOOL. If you wanna give me a Nobel prize, forget the trophy and give me the money. Better yet, hold yourself to the same values you set for others. What was the point to the quoted post? Cut to the chase nicely, you disagree! I get it, but don't belittle

LOVE as apposed to LIKE

Oh, OK, stuie has called an end to this by claiming victory. It's all subjective and opinions big fella. It ain't meant to be a victory

Dazzler, I'm not saying he isn't a thug. My point IS he is better than Nicholson and would toughen up a club known for its bruise free football. I loved when Gold Coast complained about our strategy on Gary Ablett late this year. I would also love to be accused of unsociable football just as the hawks have been labeled The real comedy here is your attempt to blow me down, when all I'm saying he is a better footballer than at least one footballer on our list. He is better than more than one. Yes I would like Brown to replace Nicho on our list Pickett was known for his bumps on players who were not in the play. The AFL changed the rules and Choco Williams is quoted as saying that Pickett would be ruled Out of the game as a result of his actions on field. He was known as a 'thug', yet Demon supporters loved his attack when wearing the red and blue. He was hated before hand. He may not have been successful at our club, but he was recruited back then to toughen us up. In an era Yze and Johnstone were our elite midfielders. We all know they weren't tough. Grinter was loved and he walked the line too

LIKE!

Moonshadow, look at Brereton's rap sheep, then move onto Leigh Matthews (Neville Bruns) Lloyd, was a sniper! Either way, I would have Brown on the list over Nicho. I'm not overly emotionally connected to his past. Bruise free football!! Brown could show a few how to harden up. Plus he kicks goals

Wrong again stuie, the 'Bump' rule changed as a result of Pickett. Brown is a better player than Nicho. Yes Brown is a thug on the field, but I would like to see a MFC player (or few) who intimidated the opposition. Dunn is the only player who tries to intimidate and it embarrassing. He ain't scary.

Worse than Nicholson?? C'Mon

Pickett was a thug until he played for the MFC. He was loved in the red and blue. Just saying

Bing, is your name Chandler?

The guy is a very good footballer. If he played for the club he would be viewed as tough as nails rather than a thug. Our club needs some one who throws their weight around. ATM, Dunn is that player and its cringe worthy

Can you explain the situation and what occurred to me Stuie? I would like to hear it. BTW I don't know Andrew Hamilton well enough and don't trust the Age either. I would like to hear your explanation on what occurred in LA

Shaw and Didak won Malthouse a premiership. Maybe Buckley needs to man manage better

What? You rate Nicho above Brown. Don't let your personal view cloud your judgement. Clap Clap Dazzler.

Akhuna matata

If that's the case, delist Nicholson, pay his contract out and get Brown as a delisted free agent. It's called improving the list.

Now it's clear. Ill rate Toumpas on his development in the coming years. As I said, in his junior year he was injured so the stats may have lied. If there is a question on the Toump, it's the clubs ability to develop young players.

And yet you rate him on games in his first year, recovering from hip surgery and pull out stats on a year in the juniors when he had to have hip surgery. One in 4 or 5 possessions he gets a contested possession. We need runners, yet if he gets 20 possessions that equals 2 to 3 contested possessions. Not bad, but In a good development program those stats should rise. Jury is still out and I can see him as being more rounded than you propose. What's your point?

You forget Toumpas had injury issues prior (therefore in his final year as a junior) to coming to the club. Nullifying his contested possession stats. Secondly, run and carry was a massive issue (amongst many other issues) with our midfield in 2012. The club went with Toumpas knowing he had the ability to win his own ball and run and carry. he may not be a contested ball machine, but he is still capable. Thirdly, GWS know in order to keep their young players, they needed to recruit players who create a culture. Vic players were a focus and SA youngsters are off their recruiting list. there fore Toumpas fell to us.

Viney and Taylor are relatively new to their roles and they need time to show their skills. Viney did an amazing job last draft and Taylor's influence is in its first year Bwahahahaha would be (is childish) correct if BP was still in a recruiting role at the club.
