Man his kicking looks.......err........not that good

Could always improve it with enough training.

 

[JJHunter]

Lets be honest that hambling footage is probably up there with the least appealing highlights package Ive seen for a potential recruit !

People already into his kicking
People bagging his handballing
I thought he had a turning circle
he seemed to have missed a couple of spoils

No real sign of the 2.90 speed we are being told about.

When you have 3-5 similar types on your list - you dont need another. Rookie or nothing from what I have seen.
I also know someone on staff at Geelong who basically said, nice kid, still 2-3 years away from playing
seniors so jury still out on whether he would be able to cope or whether he can play.

Without knowing too much about him, I'm not keen if he wasn't able to get a game.

Mckernan >>>>> Hamling

 

[Easty]

Mckernan >>>>> Hamling

If that's true we shouldn't be going anywhere near him, because McKernan is dreadful.

So from what I'm hearing, if we were to get him we had to do the following;

Bulk him up
Teach him how to kick
Teach him how to handball
Teach him how to change direction
Teach him how to defend

Sounds like a weaker version of Austin. I'll pass.

It's funny how many of us have changed our main hatred of other clubs like Essendon and Collingwood (for me previously) squarely towards GWS. Baiting us after they got Griffen too with that stupid tweet makes my blood boil.

I can't wait for the fixture release tomorrow. Cannot wait to plan my flight from Brisbane to wherever we play them irrespective of how many times we play them too, to give Ward and Bryan the most disrespect I can possibly show. I don't even care if I got a lifetime ban from their **** stadium.

Oh, I don't really hate GWS. It's more mild amusement at their insipid attempts to build a 'club' (as if it's some big feat that we should all laud. Please. Wait until the AFL takes the tubes out and watch the arrogance dissipate), and appreciation of the gems their uneducated supporters (for the most part, some have been okay) come out with.

I hate Essendon. I won't launch off into a tangent because I could write a series of books on my hatred for them, but that hatred will never subside.

What about Fogarty. I think he'd be a great rookie addition to the squad. A natural footballer!

I like Fogarty, I just think he's a little slow. He did step up in the VFL finals, though.

Joel Hamling 194 cm 88 kg
Mark Austin 195 cm 96 kg
Hamling gives Austin 8 kg

The only advantage that 8kg offers Austin is hitting the deck quicker when he loses his footing at every single contest.

The point i was trying to make was we just cut Austin and Hamling will
take two years to get to his level, here is another
Dale Morris 190 cm 91 kg
Ben Rutten 190 cm 98 kg
Who would have thought they were the same height?

It didnt work with Austin

Ben Rutten was 190 cm wide.

 

[Roscoe_au]

Ben Rutten was 190 cm wide.

Also the biggest beast in the gym behind Tex.

 

[Snake Livermore]

Actually they would fall at the same speed, as Galileo proved when he dropped Austin and Hamling out of the leaning tower of pizza and they hit the ground at the same time.

 

[JTCWBFC]

We wont' be getting Harper:

"Midfielder Kieran Harper, who gained some interest from the Western Bulldogs in the NAB AFL Trade period, has been retained on the senior list."

 

[JTCWBFC]

Would we sign Cam Delaney as defensive cover?

Prefer him to Austin. You heard it here first Nahas to Dogs!

Please i said that two years ago
Hipster VitalDread away!

 

[Dogs Rule]

Would we sign Cam Delaney as defensive cover?

Is he any good?

 

[JTCWBFC]

Expect an article online in the next hour confirming sources close to the club have advised we are looking to sign him as a DFA.

 

[JTCWBFC]

Is he any good?

No idea. I just know he is a KPD, was hoping someone here could tell me if he would be sufficient as cover on our list and an upgrade on Austin?

 

[threenewpadlocks]

Would we sign Cam Delaney as defensive cover?

I'd rather we'd kept Austin.

 

[JJHunter]

Shaun McKernan to train with Saints in the lead up to the draft. They have 1, 21, 22 and 41, so he'll go as a rookie.

Still wouldn't mind adding him as a DFA.

I think he has shown more than Cordy in both their brief appearances.

 

[BRWB]

If Ayce is the benchmark....well me, my mum and my grannie could well get a game...

 

[VitalDread]

Delany off to saints to join his bro

 

[fronkalicious]

Liam Anthony?? Can't help but feel like we need another mature body through the midfield that can give us 10-15 games at afl level. We don't want to be running our boys into the ground.

Can he play as an outside mid?
