I know it wont! Id just love 2 see it!

I think its not a bad idea.. Bruce could play FF well IMO.. A similiar role to Brad Johnson.. I cant see it happening though, he'll play a variety of roles, as usual!

I was just thinking, I would love to see Cale played 1 out in the square.. Why? He has great acceleration.. Is tall, with an even larger wingsan, and alot of people at the club keep saying he has grat hands over his head.. So what better way to show what he's got than playing him 1 out for a few 10 min bursts.. he would be quite a difficult match up, it would help alot with his development, and of course could really give us an option down there which were struggling to find.. Im not suggesting he become a FF, merely looking at the long term benefits, mixed with the fact that it will really give him some confidence to become a target.. Why not.. I for one would love to see it!

What is this crap about Bruce?? He was named our best, got 38 possesions for gods sake! NO ONE gets dropped after 38 posessions!! I mean, I am not even his biggest fan, I got in trouble 4 saying he could be trade but, but dropped?? WTF!!!

How can any1 think Bell is even a remote chance? ESp hightower, what u mean he deserves a game after last week, he again, did nothing! Bell is out, Junior and Davey in.. Yze a chance..

Well, interesting squad.. Mcdonald im glad to see back.. White a certain emergency.. Yze looks like getting another game.. good stuff.. Really would of liked 2 see Petterd, but he'll be thereabouts soon enough!

I concur.. U dill! In: Petterd, Davey Out: Green, Bell (sayonara dinga) Maric getting VERY close.. i'd say 1 more good sandy game, then in he comes! Yze a chance this week with Green out..

Thats the biggest insult O'Keefe could earn.. Ryan is one of the hardest working players in the league! Colin one of the laziest atm! Im sure you meant just the graet hands and strength, I just wanted to point of the main HUGE differance between the 2! Id love Col to be half as good, but cant see it yet!!! LOOOOOOOONG way off!

Lol.. Its ok mate.. A good topic!! I went with Meeson (if he can get going, look out!) MCLEAN..Jones, Valenti, Green, Morton, Grimes.. Bruce more a utility, same with Wheatley.. Mcdonald will be a hbf from now on, Maric will be a small forward who will drift into the midfiled on occasionally next year.. Grimes.. he's the one 2 watch, im pumped 4 this kid!

Great honest interview! Would get a game elsewhere, no doubt.. But, at his age, no chance of actually being picked up.. yes, its a shame, but the game really doesnt suit him anymore, its moved to far forward, esp for a player who is still very one footed.. Hope he gets a go, but im sure he will get a farewell game at some stage! well deserved!

Thats exactly my current train of thought!

I could not agree more.. Bj has had an average year, you cannot judge Bells game on that! Hes just not up to it, simple! no upside seen at all this year!

Prved to me even more today, he serves no purpose, not one good bit of play, fumbly, indecisive, poor skills! Not 1 person can say that he did ANYTHING today to warrant his place! NExt week, out: Bell In: Petterd

I know, but he was always going home, NO ONE was gonna stop him! Sylvia cannot play his career as a perm forward! he was a top 3 draft, drafteed to be a midfielder!! He is a traget there right now, but not forever! thats not gonna cut it! Its so frustraing, I love the guy, sooo much ability, Just seems lazy, have heard he is very lazy with the off ball stuff, I just really hope he can string it together, but its a lose lose if we keep him next year, and he fails again, because he will then have ZERO trade value, thats why its a tough decision, that needs to be made! Im 50/50 on the issue!

we are MILES ahead of Essendon! Theya re stuck in that weird bracket of having young kids, mixed with too many older average players! Our average games played per player is the best in the comp.. They have a couple of good kids, but none even close to ours, they have far too amny similiar types, I really cant see them getting far with their list.. Average 27+ players like Peverill, Michael, Fletcher, Mcphee, Johnson, Ramanauskas.. mixed with average 23-25 yr olds like: Stanton, Johns, Dyson, Watson, Laycock, Winderlich.. Even their best kids dont look good enough for me: Daniher, Lonergan, Jetta, Gumbleton (injurie prone) etc.. Ryder, Reimers, Davey, Neagle looks ok.. but thats about all id want! We have: Wonaemirri, Garland, Jones, Mclean, Morton, petterd, Bate, Bartram, Valenti, Martin, Buckley, Warnock, Grimes, Maric, Dunn, Frawley and Sylvia all of whom Id take ahead of those bombers kids, except the few I mentioned.. Our 24-27 yr olds far better also! Moloney, Rivers, C Johnson, P Johnson, Davey, Green, Bruce, Miller.. Then, they have alot more older Players, Lucas, Lloyd, Michael, Fletcher, Johnson, Peverill.. They have ALOT of work to do.. AS you can see, we are Much better placed atm!

He shows signs, but his application just does not seem to be there! He still would have some trade value, a top 20 Pick, or a decent player ie: Prismall, Boyle, Rosa, Warnock would be more than enough for me to send him packing, id take even less right now! Has the talent, but the only way I seem him achieving it is at another club!

Did you even read what I said? I said his time is up, just wanted ppl to understand that he's had alot of hurdles over the years! Read my post again, you to Yze!

6 - Chris Johnson 5 - Colin Garland 4 - Lynden Dunn 3 - Simon Buckley 2 - Stefan Martin 1 - Brad Miller

Youre all being too hard on JEff.. I know he is no longer up to it, but he would be getting a game most clubs, its actually HARDER for players of his age to get games at clubs that are rebuilding!! Jeff had a horrific, HORRIFIC shin injury, still has, was told he could never play again, he's had it operated on 14 times! incredible! His shins bled out constantly, he was in absolute agony every game, but he troopered on! It really struck him down in his prime! The new centre circle also played a HUGE role in his demise! Thanks for your service over hte years Jeff, and all the best, yes its time to move on, maybe another club who is in the premiership window and in need of a ruckman, but I doubt it! With Warnock looking like becoming a demon, its time.. But I for one can understand how much youve providede olur club with, and thanks all those highlights mate!

Very well said mate, its very promising indeed!! Add in Rivers (if he ever gets his body right) plus a developing Frawley, and wow!!

Totally agree! I can see why ppl dont want to, but ive said before, its just not in me 2 want us to lose, plus its the type of draft were 3rd alst is just as good for us, of course no1 is better, due to absolute freedom of choice, but I think were destined for 15th, which is Watts, eagles wont take him, freo may, but not likely, not with the huge amount of home grown talent up there, its smart to take a WA kid for them!! Ditto, we should take the victorian!

Precisely!!! Must be done to see what weve got! talent, or lazy springbean!

I hope so! Maybe 1 more week in the magoos, but might just get a call up!!

He did it again today.. Hope he is right!!

Cmon guys.. Did not get great supply today.. Had a bit of a crack, lets see him at the G when we get it in a bit better.. Play him the next 5, then decide!! thats fair!
