Tolstoys Nudge

Ok, Its surely now completely obvious what our team needs.. We need a strong presence up forward, a finisher and someone in the midfield that can really break the lines, thus really enabling Bailey's run & gun game plan.. We also need a big, strong ruckman, as White will be gone soom, and certainly is no shadow of his former self, Johnson is seen as more a forward prospect, Jamar just does not do enough, and Meeson is still really learning.. The success of the bulldogs trades of recent times have made alot of clubs realise (finally) that trade week is a great way to address real areas of concern. Especially now, with the 2 new teams & subsequent draft concessions, trades will be more previlant and more vital than ever. Here are some trades that I think can work, for us, whilst being realistic for the other clubs as well.. Please bare in mind, I not considering players who will most likely be de-listed, as no other clubs would be interested.. SOME BETTER THOUGHT OUT ONES!! JUST SO U ALL BETTER SEE MY POINT, mainly for the narrow minded! 1) Send Colin Sylvia to Adelaide for Luke Jericho 2) Trade Ricky Petterd to Port Adelaide for Paul Stewart Petterd is a talent, which is whats needed to gain a key forward! 3) Brad Miller & late pick to Brisbane in exchange for Justin Sherman 4) Jamar & 3rd round pick to Fremantle for Robert Warnock 5) Brad Green, mid pick to Hawthorn for Tim Boyle Green would really thrive at a place like Hawthorn..for 4-5 years! 6) Cameron Bruce & 3rd round pick to saints for Justin Koscitschke Still wouldnt be taken by saints, as they over rate Kossi, but imo COULD work 4 both teams Other targets should be: Matt Rosa, Daniel Kerr, Jarryd + Mitch Morton, Mitch Thorp, David HAle, David Armitage, Matt Priddis, Drew Petrie, Farren Ray, David Mundy, Travis Boak, Kris Barlow.. These trade are to be treated as IDEAS, a broader concept.. and SINGULAR, i dont mean they should all actually happen, nor do I even suggest they will.. We need a target down forward, and an injection of pace!!

Yes, he'll go, esp with the reprimand.. Bout bloody time..

John Meeson is a raw footballer, He has good size, grat engine, and is rated by many in the footy world.. He has had a lot of injury niggles this year, but I expect him to play his MFC debut very soon, as White's back-up, especially now that PJ will play as a permanent forward, which is what he was always meant to be.. Jamar and Meeson will compete for this role, but IMO Meeson could have alot to offer, just needs to get his body right, he was good pre season, and alot of people expect big things.. Just play it slow.. he'll get his chance shortly, dont dismiss the guy half way through his 1st year, id be worries about guys who have been here 3 or 4, and still show nothing!! theres plenty of em'..

Well, actually it doesnt mate.. Im not saying he doesnt help the club, im not bagging him, i love the guy, im saying he needs to say what he really thinks in the public arena, simple!!

ahh, by saying he "may be JUST ok".. hmm, i think ur exaggerating.. I'll wait till he kicks his injuries to pass judgement, the mark had nothing 2 do with it, he does have some raw talent, but yes, he needs to DO something!!

I love gazz, really i do.. But im so over him sitting on the damn fence, in EVERYTHING!! so this is a petition, if you want Garry Lyon 2 get off the fence and say what he REALLY thinks, then sign this!!

Craig Cameron is reponsible for our shambles ogf a list, Yeah, like all lists there are some good points, but overall, terrible.. How can u say CC did a good job when he is the 1 responsible, damn fools!! simple!! WAKE UP!!! ggggrrr..

the forgotten KID.. Could be a SUPERSTAR!! Massive raps on this kid!!! Just reminding you all, he's been injured.. but is a ready made star!! Inside & outside mid with pace and skill!! Maric, Grimes, Martin, Morton, Jones Wonae, Garland,Davey.. We'll be ok!!

Sorry mate.. Ive tried 2 find positives, but just cant!! even up until 2 weeks ago.. i wanted 2 be confident in him!! too short 4 a true KPP, too slow for mid role!!! Plus he cant keep his feet, always a bad sign.. But I truly hope im wrong!! truly I do..

I think its a great move that we will be aligned with Casey as of next year.. Now we really will feel like we have a home, we cannot underestimate how important this is for us.. For those who dont know Judd was nearly a demon until he was shown our "facilities" then he went running!!! Lets hope this is the start of our ressurection.. GET PUMPED PEOPLE!!!

Looked lost up forward, and i'll admit it didnt look good.. but im so glad weve found a KPP.. Looks grea t down there, and moves so so well..

I truly feel sorry for the tigers.. they are in 4 a really tough time.. Frawley (never will be anything, just looks very average at best!), Dunn, MOLAN, Newton (may be JUST ok), Sylvia, Bell, Neville, Miller, Wheatley, Grgic, Williams.. plus many more.. Most of them 1st-2nd round picks...JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH.. Notice they are all similiar types.. not tall enough for KPP not quick enough for real Midfielders.. Our list is what it is PURELY thanx 2 1 man!! not ND, but Mr Cameron.. He is totally 2 blame!! Cant wait to see what prendergast & co can do.. Although even CAC could go past Naitanui.. Could he??? Can't wait till the end of the year to say by bye 2: Dunn, Whealey, Bell, Yze, Sylvia (trade), Jamar, Buckley (could be ok if disposal wasn't so bad), Miller, Holland (good servant, should of played more, esp this year), Carroll (would stay if we werent rebuilding) Whelan and more.. This is the yaer for the true cleanout.. FINALLY!!

Im truly excited about this bloke.. Ive been watching him very closely, and boy does he look the part down at FB!! He can run, jump, and knows where to poistion himself in 1 on 1 contests.. IMO the best FB prospect going round and a real key to the future!! He can play on talls, smalls, medium types, so with Rivers (if he EVER gets hids body right) holding CHB, if not i have a graet feeling bout Big martin, who they are grooming for a Key defensive post..all the attention turns towards CHF & FF!! Miller is short term, but just doesnt have enough impact, tries hard though.. AS for Full forward, Newton needs 15kg's.. Naitanui could be our CHF, he can play anywehre.. lord i feel bad but, I would die if we dont get him!! but it looks like we almost certainly will!! THE MODERN FB!! Im excited.. :D

He will either be CHB or CHF!! as he WONT be a ruckman, white, jamar, Neaves, FAninng.. IMO shopld play back, take 2nd Tall!!

Breach it Brother DEE.. Agreed.. We are the BIg V's only 2007 Flag chance, with a fit Saints squad, and a real coach.. they can win it..
