Tolstoys Nudge

I have posted here a few weeks ago that he'd be a handy aquisition, really help out down forward, is a graet kick, and can take a grab.. Only 24, and is worth looking at, especially if we can get him cheap, say a deal with a pick between 30-40 would be great, worth more, but you never know! I like him alot! Exactly what we need to help out Robbo and Syl.. A 198cm tall forward!

In a way, yes, but Hawks area also very young, ditto bombers, and others, but we are definately, overall, very light! I see your point though, all im saying is, even our olfder players are light, like you said, Junior, Bruce, Green, Wheatley, Warnock, Bartram (still both youngish i suppose), Even Miller looks alot lighter than previously!

Im really glad the club has taken the initiative in chasing big Robbie! By the sounds of it, he was very impressed with our presentation, so good news all round! The Ox has hinted for weeks he'll be a demon, lets keep our fingers crossed! But well done Chris Connoly and the boys who met him at the meeting!

We do seem to be the lightest side around! im sure they'll all develop in that area!

well, I sorta was, I was being very tongue & cheek! But I got on the back foot because some people are just seriously frustrated in life, thus they seem to wanna shoot others down so quickly, its quite amusing in itself! PS: Lookup the word innane, before u mis-use it again!

Yes, I agree.. But this is a demons board! We actually havent given away that many players, thus ironic the few we have, are what we need, thats my point!

Prismall a real chance.. As for Lonergan, no hope! especially after what he went through, he adds alot of culture down there, and means alot to the club as a whole! But Prismall, on the radar for sure! Does get caught alot, but has alot of upside!

Yeah, sure thing mate? You guys the gestapo huh? The point is, I find it amusing that they are all pretty much what we need! The moves were right at the time, I acknowlege that, Im not even saying I want them back, merely that its ironic! GEEZ! its a post on a board, relax.. Im not here trying to earn your so called "high rating".. what a high school comment.. Were supporters of the MFC, im sick of all this badgering, no real need for it! ESP in this case..

well, by the few ppl ive spoken to today, he was excellent! I know its only one game, but there is far more to gain by playing John than Jeff! Throw him in, let him run.. why not?

well said! Wheels is a great asset! has alot of composure.. Dunno who doubted him, but its grat that he is showing them what he adds to this side!

LOl! Relax mate.. I said its tongue and cheek!! and there are no errors! I know its been said before, but Gill just looked so good today, I wanted to express it!

If he does not get it this week, the club needs to call Garry Lyon and tell him to QUIT his NAB involvement.. Awesome today, and there in NOT ! player out of last years draft id rather have, he's the pick! Remember, is far ahead of schedule, wasnt supposed to be this good yet, just wait till he bulks up, and gets another pre-season into his body and refines his kicking even more! lookout!

Today was the worst ive ever seen! umps trying to even out the tanking? Seriously, if this wasnt such a dead rubber, this would be HUGe news, and an outrage, imagine if it was Collingwood, but, that would NEVER happen, would it!

Lol.. I know what you mean, but it set them up to become the side they are, thats the point.. Remeber, the moral here is, you dont trade no.1 pick in a draft like this away for a bloke who still has question marks, both with his overall ability on the big stage, and whetehr he can get his body right!

Will White be right? OR Could big Meeson get an unlikely run?? He is slowly getting better, will get a go next year, no doubt, no chance to be delisted, hasd such athletisicsm, that he does need to really be given every chance! I hope they don't ask Stef to help out, id rather just give Meeson a run! Jeff, well breing a great club man, appreciate all he's done, but again, id rather see Meeson thrown in!

Yes, I know its been said before, but I still think its intersesting, especially with Gill's performance today! we need a quality target up forward: Nick Gill, what a great game he had today, 20 disp, 11 marks, 5 goals! A good solid ruckman who can kick goals: Darren Jolly A midfielder who can play inside & outside, and hurt the opostion by foot, and kick goals: Scott Thompson (still hurts I know, but was always gonna go..) A midfielder/flanker, who has quality finishing and good disposal: Travis Johnstone (still a good trade in hindsight, but, still..) An older staunch defender, to lead and help develop the Garland, Martin/Warnock Brigade: Nathan Bassett Notice a common theme here guys? Aint hindsight a wonderful thing... Bit of tongue and cheek, but very interesting none the less!! And don't forget, a little off track, as he was never a demon, but the Sewell for Ferguson trade (which WE backed out of, at last second, no matter what others have heard, thats what happened, Fergy wanted to stay, so we gave it up.. still really grates at me, but what are ya gonna do..

Worst suggestion ever!! requires no rebbutal! serioulsy, u dill!

I think the other thread, posted 1min earlier by demons4eva counts, but i'll put mine here aswell.. 6 - Cale Morton 5 - Paul Wheatley 4 - Brad green 3 - James Mcdonald 2 - Cameron Bruce 1 - Michael Newton Buckley unlucky, ditto Martin.. Juice was graet, and gave alot of great chases's.. was really good t see.. should of kicked 4 or 5! Cale was simply awesome, cant wait for him after another pre-season, well ahead of schedule, a real geniune superstar in the making, lets hope we can keep him when the time comes.. im sure we will though!

Grat point, and well said.. This is my point! what has he done at AFL level?? not alot, yes hasnt had a hell of alot of chances, but enough! Absolutely NO ONE inside the league would give a top 5 pick in this draft for him, let alone no.1!

Id say it made them alright! Imagine them without, Ablett, Kelly, Bartel???

NO! He is currently inj, but has played 7 or 8 games this year! HE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR PICK ! OF A NATIONAL DRAFT, END OF STORY! Especially not a draft being compared to the 2001 superdraft! I dont care what he has done in VFL anyway, what has he done ata AFL level? NOT MUCH! He does not seem to of improved.. I cant beleive im even bothering to discuss this, its completely ludicrous! Laughable!

Not a bad effort.. But MORE will happen.. Meeson not going ANYWHERE! beleive it! Sylvia for Davey, im slowly warming to it! Bell will be traded IMO, Jericho from Crows is a rumour atm!

I am hearing everywhere Brad is on his way elsewhere.. its a 50/50 apparently.. It will depend on what is on offer.. Hawks, Saints and Pies all over him allegedly.. Will be interesting to see, but I think he may stay if offered the C gig!

No aggression is NEVER a good thing, stupid comment! However, im not saying Watts doesnt have any, too hard 2 tell!! As for the Hawkins deal, what a joke, no chance, no thanks! Lonergan is cats prefferd option right now, Hawkins not even really dominating at VFL.. I also have HUGE concerns with Tomahawk! He seems to be very passive, cant really play anywhere other than the goal square, and has not really improved at all from year to year! Watts is twice the prospect, I cant beleive anyone would even consider this, its ridiculous!
