Thanks wwsw I just listened to Perty on debrief podcast, he certainly addressed all the devils that we have been discussing post that Carlton nightmare game. He gets it. Thanks for highlighting the podcast as I wasn’t aware of it. It was very well conducted.

I was at a function and sitting near both Roffey and Pert during both finals matches. I was amazed on how calm they remained during both matches. Me on the other hand….. 😡🤦🏻

Need to be careful listening to parents of players in same team and without throwing a blanket over all of them. My boy is good mates with Aidan O’Driscoll and parents I speak with are wondering why he’s draftable, they think their kids are just as good. They couldn’t be further from the truth some kids are so clean at ground level, move so smoothly and just make things look so easy the void to Jo citizen is hard to pick up 

I agree with this. My nephew is also hoping to be drafted. So, I know his family are probably watching Duursma’s performances with a glass half full lense. 
However, I’d hate for us to pick him with our first rounder and it turns out that they’re right and he isn’t that good.

i realise that its unfair and definitely illogical, but i can't help but compare duursma with his brother, who can be great, but is also super flakey..especially after his first season or two. it looks as though the new version is in a class above, but still, from the online games that i watched, not sure that he is what we need right now.. looks more like a pick from 10 on. i'd be happy to land duursma at our second pick, but not our first.

Interesting you say this, I caught up with my family yesterday - my nephew plays with Duursma at Gippsland Power. I asked them what they think of him and where he should land. They said the same thing. They said he can take great marks and can do amazing passages of play, but he can butcher it and goes missing.
They are a little shocked that he is in consideration for a top 5 pick.

Thanks, what is his alignment, do you know? I think this is an important consideration.

I don’t know if he is a member, but he is a VERY keen supporter.

Is Jeff Gleeson aligned with Collingwood? Can you please provide a link?

I haven’t posted for a long time, and mostly read for news. Particularly, trade news.
But this, I can categorically say he is. 
In my view, the fact that he heard this matter makes me as sick as the actual incident.

What's classier though?  That hand pass or that Salem kick?  Jones must be pinching himself.  Stuck by all these years and we're finally coming up roses! 

 

Did anyone else notice how chuffed Jones was after the short scuffle on the boundary in the third, when he was being pinned down and three or four team mates helped him out....that would not have happened in years past.

Shockingly most people open up a thread to read about the subject topic and don't check threads 18 times a day to monitor every slight movement away from the topic at hand.

Agree. I'm still asking myself why did I have to scim over all that dribble and waste an hour of my life. I certainly don't feel any better for it.

If the posters in question think it is a topic worth discussing or debating, then start a thread for it and DON'T derail another one.

Your right.

What about his left?????

Sucked in Port, I bet they have no idea how well Toumpas has been training!

Classic! I still can't stop laughing.

Your avatars get worse every time mate, only saved by what you have to say being worthwhile. Bring back Olivia.

Totally, C&B has had massive avatar form slump.

Said in the other thread Salem hasn't shown much except kick a match winner against essendon. Other then that he has not shown why he was worthy of pick 9 especially the likes of Luke Dunstan Lewis Taylor were picked later and made huge contribution for their side.

He looks so out of depth we have gifted him games when the likes of Jimmy Toumpas were dropped after 1 or 2 games. Yes he missed first half of Pre Season but taylor missed the whole chunk with a broken foot.

Toumpas copped it last year. He showed alot more then Salem has done for his first year.

I believe it's the club and its development program and not the players fault - how many times do we lay blame at these players and/or our recruiters.

So many top ten draft picks that haven't developed, too coincidental IMO.

You lost me at Blackberry sorry OD.

Although the wifes work phone is a RIM Blackberry and she love it more then me LOL

Would not bother with a Ford or Toyota. Ford cars a awful and there something wrong with Toyota Dealership or so I got the feeling when my work last purchased one.

Do they have a Madza or Honda Dealerships?

IMO can't go past a Diesel Toyota. Especially a Hilux, landcruiser or Prado - they are workhorses!

First half of the season was Neeld smashing going on everywhere, second half of the season has been very quiet.

Now I'm just bored, and need some footy excitement.
