You want an impact player? Let's pick Rix and tell him to knock out Thomas, Medhurst, Davis and Cloke. Wouldn't matter if he got suspended for life.

Is that you Barks?

This place is amazing. We spend most of the year saying we need more kids and we have to use our draft picks better and yet every time someone's name is thrown up everyone's on here saying we should trade half the world to get them. It's been reported that WC will want two top ten picks for Kerr wit...

the other option would be to play bj at ff and roo at chf. problem is that bj can be so good around the ground and you'd possibly be robbing peter to pay paul. The problem with putting BJ at FF is that we need him setting up the play and delievering the ball into the forward line. Our skill level w...

Our best defence might be that he comes from Sydney.

We need 22 blokes having a fair dinkum crack for 4 quarter. No passengers. None of this taking a quarter to get going business.
Only worry is that we'll probably have to beat them again in 3 weeks.

I was thinking of that but I'd like to think if we kick 35 goals we'll win by more than 35 points. Maybe 135 points!

I can see it now - we'll kick 35 goals in the grand final!!

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Maybe people will stop asking for us to get rid of him if he kicks 10 in the GF. There's not a small forward in the comp who kicks goals more regularly.

I don't think anyone was thinking about the top 4 eight days ago. It all starts again now. The last 22 weeks is irrelevant. All that matters is who plays well and has a bit of luck in the next 4 weeks.

We haven't made many changes lately. Might just be Ball for Dempster. I'd like to see X get a game but can't think of anyone who deserves to be dropped.

My mate and I were imagining what could happen if we stayed injury free for the next 4 weeks and had a fraction of the luck we haven't had in the last hundred years. Maybe Kosi will play 4 weeks of football like he did in 2005. As I said to him, if we make the Grand Final Roo will play the greatest ...

We're just trying to beat the rush. I would think there would be 15 clubs talking to him between now and draft day just to suss out where he's at. Doesn't mean any of them are seriously interested in him.

The key to the Ross Lyon game plan is "run and carry". As a result, anyone who can play this role is viewed more highly than someone who can't. This is why Howard has been given two years and why Fiora continues to get a game. It's also why we've probably seen the last of Ferguson, LFisher...

I wouldn't think there would be a change. Surprising that X wasn't given a run. I'd have thought if Ross wanted him to play finals he'd be playing this week.
Mind you if the 22 who run out on the weekend (regardless of who they are) can't thump that Bombers side there's something wrong.

It was mentioned on SEN that he hasn't been able to get a game with Franklin and Roughead dominating. Went well as a third tall forward last year. Would possibly fit in with Reiwoldt and Kosi. Probably wouldn't cost too much and would be better value than C Gardiner at the moment.

I get sick of people going through every draft with a fine tooth comb saying we should have had this player or that player. Do the same thing for every other club and you'll find they all make the same mistakes to some degree. It is impossible to look at a 17 or 18 year old and know exactly how good...

King can't go on the vets list - he hasn't played 10 years for the Saints. That's not to say Seaby wouldn't be worth getting.

Anyone (of the experienced players) who hasn't cracked it for a regular senior game is probably in trouble. That would include Birss, M Gardiner, C Gardiner, Ferguson, L Fisher. You could argue that Birss is consistently in the best for the Scorps but if Ross is playing Eddy, Geary ad CJ ahead of hi...

Why does it take a 36 year old to show everyone else how it's done?

Won't play - unfortunately. Born running half back - 100% better when his brother plays too. Thinks quicker than he acts, unlike Gilbert who acts without thinking! Will play. What does that mean. Of course he is not playing. Who said he was? you didn't Look at my unoriginal post! I love GT. Not Con...

[/quote]maybe do like GT did with the captains have rotating coaches ??? fire em all if they dont win a flag in the first year [/quote]

Isn't that what we've been doing? Seems to have served us well over the last 100 years.

You can't expect to trade players who have played two games in three years. They have no value. It's getting harder and harder to do trades because clubs won't give up anything decent unless they get something decent. Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't there only about 7 trades done last year? This...
