[The Bomb]

100% fine.

He stuck by us and we stuck by him. This is a mutual break up

Every Bomber fan would be on Freos band wagon, If we don't make it.
I honestly think it would be great and well deserved.

 

[Jade]

If we don't make it, I think it will be bloody awesome. I will be cheering for him to kick a bag.

I'll be eating a whole tub of ice cream and sobbing at the TV.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

I guarantee they call him little bitch.

Goddammit! I swear if you guys rip on me 13-14 more times... I'm outta here. *re-signs contract*

I'm a little surprised there has been no further media coverage, since the SEN report, of Chapman to us being a done deal.

Me too. Starting to wonder if SEN have duped us

 

[Chambo]

That mega trade would never go through seeing as the team holding the ace (Melbourne) are getting d*cked the worse.

I'm a fan of Myers and I hope we hang on to him but let's be frank - he's currently a B-grader that could potentially become an A-grader.
Bernie Vince is also a B-grader

But they are better than most of Melbourne's C graders.

Wouldn't surprise me, they usually do pull story's out of thier arses.

No one needs another reason to ridicule SEN

Think of the delay between Colyer 'signing' and it being announced.. it took 2-3 days..

Same situation here, I believe, the parties have cleared medical.. agreed to terms.. now just crossing t's and dotting i's and then it will be announced I think.

I am 98% sure he will be playing for the bombers next year. On a 1+1 deal (that is one year deal with auto-trigger clauses for 2nd year)

 

[Keystone agony]

Do not rate Vince and do not want unless for way unders.

His skill is so over rated it isnt funny and age is catching him quickly. Has played one good season of footy.

Much prefer our Stantons, Goddards, Zaharakis, Melksham types than him.

 

[rines]

Is there anyone here pushing for Vince? I think you are preaching to the converted here KA.. overrated Hack is bernie..

 

[Keystone agony]

Also sick of people saying Gumby and JoeD as their favoured KPF's when you either have TBC playing in the forward line with them and get smashed on rebounds like we already have in the past or have him playing in the VFL in which case he should've been on traded for something very good and not paid big dollars just to sit as a backup for the 2's.

Is there anyone here pushing for Vince? I think you are preaching to the converted here KA.. overrated Hack is bernie..

Ive read a few saying how good his skill is and how good he would be at delivering the football inside 50.


Thank god melbourne have way more need for him and much better bargaining power.

Hearing things from reporters before you hear them from your club, wow


Well at least its good to see Carlton are treating their players well. Or is this a reflection on our sports media? Hmmmm.

Triple M in Adelaide reporting Bernie Vince is a bomber

He seems like a good bloke though

 

[jmoo wan]

Triple M in Adelaide reporting Bernie Vince is a bomber

bank it - they nailed the Hird ultimatum to resign or be sacked.

 

[Doss]

Triple M in Adelaide reporting Bernie Vince is a bomber

In exchange for what? Pick 44 or whatever it is?

 

[Jade]

Triple M in Adelaide reporting Bernie Vince is a bomber

Christ, no thanks. He'd be borderline 22.

 

[Oh Tayteridge]

This is the crux of it, there is room for one in my view and at the risk of repeating myself and OhTayteRidge chiming in with his nonsense... Pears has neither a place as a KPD or a HB in our team it is worth investing in the potential improvement of Gumby for our misfiring FWD line than Tayte who doesn't have the game to fill a spot in a very solid defensive 6

Nice move not tagging me in that, didn't think you'd have the balls. My problem with people like you is that you make exaggerated and thus completely incorrect statements about the supposed lack of worth of guys like Pears, when realistically, he was consistently getting games through the back half of the season, alongside Carlisle, Hooker and Fletcher. Again, and I actually can't believe I'm repeating myself, he had very good games mixed with bad games, which is what you'd reasonably expect from a bloke who's barely strung any games together for the best part of two years due to serious injury. Again, and I can't believe I'm being forced to repeat this as well, it's difficult to get back to form immediately without consistency in selection, and my contention the whole time has been that he will be a very valuable player if he can manage to hold his body together and stay in the side. The idea that Pears has no place in our team would be comically wrong if it wasn't so boringly ignorant and frustrating: he's been playing in the ****ing side, so how has he managed that you mental pigmy?

Having said that, I'd also rather lose him than Gumby, which isn't a statement on each individual player but more a reflection of where our strengths lie; as Jade proffers, Gumby is our most natural forward (perhaps JD is up there too, but that remains to be seen) whilst we have Hooker, Hurley and Carlisle, as well as Hibberd, Dempsey etc, in our defence.

 

[yaco55]

You inferred wrong.

You said that Gumby was leaving - Or do you retract that post.

 

[yaco55]

It'll probably be left up to Gumby.
He may want to go home to WA.

According to Gumby's manager he is very comfortable in Melbourne. Is part of Jobe's Old Xav group and is living with a Melbourne lady. But he may be forced to move interstate. And of course the family are Freo supporters.

 

[yaco55]

Looks like if the Port's Polec deal falls through, We might throw pick 30 at you for Gumbleton. (which is better than Freo's offer of 33)
Personally I think he could be that guy that helps spur on Butcher to compete (So he would be fighting for his spot instead of being given gold tickets)
And of course Essendon get higher in the draft order.

I suggest that a key tall should be a greater priority for Port. i am yet to be convinced that Polec will make an AFL player.

 

[efcboy]

Any deal that involves us getting pick 2.. would be golden.

I agree that ppl become obsessed with picks.. and they usually end up poorly..

But in modern times.. a top 3 pick - especially if a midfielder - tend to end up pretty good players...

Pick 2 would be awesome.. especially if all we have to give up is Crameri and Myers.. can't believe it would happen.. but that would be the steal of the century for EFC.

I'd be taking Josh Kelly ahead of Aish. Aish is massively over-rated for mine

 

[yaco55]

I'm a little skeptical about the Chapman signing. Something doesn't add up. He shredded the last game he played in a sudden death final and is supposedly fit enough for us to sign him for two years immediately following Geelong's decision to moved him on (when it seems that the fear of them overrating their list has manifested itself in them probably overrating the VFL squad).

Happy that we have his quality around the place, even if it is just in the change rooms, but I'll probably only be thrilled in hindsight. Hope it happens.

His injury afflicted 2013 is the biggest concern. Ability wise he still has it. Lets hope he gets a good crack at footy in 2014.
