Re: Get Ben King

We need at least 2 first rounders to play with, if we want to get Hill & King. We've got one, how do we get the other? Gold Coast will want our 5 and something else for King. Fair enough too. Freo will want a first rounder for Hill. Here's a possibility, Pick 5 for Hill, just get it done. Bruce,...

First question - Would you be happy with this trade?
Second question - Would Gold Coast accept this?

Discuss.
Would you have us bend ourselves over?

From St Kilda along the bayside to Frankston, that's our home. I would also suggest its more heavily populated than all of Tasmania. We shouldn't even hypothetically think of such nonsense, leave that to the Gold Coast or North. But when you say that about the Tasmanian population are you counting ...

Carlton have delisted Lobbe. Would he do as a back up at Sandy? Certainly cheaper than Ryder.

Re: Carlisle on trade table

I’d prefer he has a crack all the time Effort is a non negotiable, can’t pick and choose... that’s a sign of character He’s the sort of player that’d let you down in a big game due to his attitude being less than average I was disgusted by his last game Granted his last game was poor, he had a few ...

Re: Who do we want to coach us and who do we think will?

It appears that Ratten, Harvey & Longmuir (perhaps B Scott) are the only candidates.

No sign of Lyon or anyone else, unless its been kept quiet.

Re: Carlisle on trade table

Its about money, Carlisle is well paid and the Club want room for Hill and whomever else. So the Club has opened up the option of trading Carlisle or extending him on reduced money. Given his age and possible injury, I reckon we'll extend him with a pay cut, as I don't think another Club will take h...

He marks uncontested in the d50

Turns sideways and kicks 20m toward the boundary... and he f***ed that twice kicking off one step, because he’s lazy.
Probably bored, sort of player that shines in the big ones. Lazy or a tad over confident?

Re: Carlisle on trade table

Ducks and drakes I think. Carlisle obviously wants to extend and the Club wants to leverage.

Like we have an abundance of quality key defenders. We'll keep him and do a deal. Forget his games this year, although he probably won us a few. He's a calm, cool and collected gun.

They just need to bite the bullet and relocate them to Tasmania and while they're at it, relocate GWS permanently to Canberra.

Re: 8 Years of failure - WORST period since the 80s

Although, overall I'm a fan of GT, it started with his ridiculous player contracts. Leaving us no flexibility in List Management for perhaps Lyon's entire tenure. A rebuild was then delayed and it had to be, because we were in Premiership contention. Then the main cause, the election of the incompet...

Re: HOW we get HILL & KING - Recruitment READ THIS THREAD

Lonie! Should be one of the first half dozen picked every week. A couple of ordinary games and people want him out!

Newnes, I agree on, but we're going to have to sacrifice a bit more. Ross and/or Acres will have currency.

Re: Carlisle

Carlisle's strength is that he's cool in the contest, unfussed, relaxed and confident. That means he's good under pressure and creative. The downside is, when he loses a little focus, you get what you got yesterday. He's elite, glorious hands and elite by foot. He's at his best across half back, int...
