Lets face reality people .. after ASADA wiping out Essendon*

Trade period/the draft is all we have left for 2014

I am waiting for the Menz's Rising Star nomination. Gonna happen soon as Cunningham got his for his performance over the season to date and the fact that he is a nice kid...

Menz certainly isn't going to get it on the back of any of his recent performances. Kid needs a break.

 

[HBF]

It's Jaksch. Carey Grammar boy.

Would be very happy if this did eventuate.

 

[Silvagnis]

Boyd hasn't verified his pick 1 status yet (pick 1 doesn't guarantee a gun).

 

[etsal1]

I'm sure everyone thought Fraser and Watts were going to dominate for a decade.

 

[happydude]

I remember people at the time bagged watts as a number 1 pick..

True about Fraser I think though

 

[__Bobcat__]

Cameron would be a Judd type pick up if we managed to snag that, would hate to think what we would have to give up but what ever it is will probably end up worth it. Not everyday the Duck Carey nominates a player as the best he has seen.

Duck was good at nominating team Mates wives as!!!!!

etsal1 would be all over Boyd if he was in this draft. I hope this is a troll. She's been banging the KPP drum like our first pick is locked into a F/S pick like Darcy Moore, Joe Daniher, Tom Hawkins and SOS.

 

[__Bobcat__]

Kreuzer and Walker get it done ???

Probably Why Walks is playing so "uninterested!!!
Could have been penciled in!!!!

sure..........

heaven forbid someone has an opinion that the great one disagrees with.

Why does everyone want to give away one of the few guys who bleeds for the jumper... and I dont just mean literally. You always know that when Kreuzer walks out for us, he will give 100% and leave nothing out there.

I think that with the new Gibbs and Kreuzer out there, and with the other guys coming in how bleed blue for us, we will be a lot better off.

However... if we were to trade Kreuzer for a GWS tall... it would have to be for someone exceptional.

 

[Dramoth]

There's also Tim Mohr, Lachie Plowman, Aidan Corr etc

Forgot about Tim Mohr... I would hazard a guess and say that he is definitely struggling to get a gig in the star studded GWS line up these days. We could probably get him for a song and a dance.

 

[Jamie007]

Please don't get excited by this (i know it will be a hard not too), but the club is doing everything possible to get a young GUN KPP from GWS. Can't say who the player is or what we are offering yet, but there is a small possibility that it may actually happen.

 

[__Bobcat__]

Lachie Plowman is a no.....
No his old man well.

 

[Dramoth]

well they WERE made for walking....

*baboom*

Dont give up your day job please... or if your day job is as a comedian, I would suggest a career change

Well... after the court case, We wont have to worry about finishing last and winning another wooden spoon...

Really? He's a certain starter every week and just re-signed.

I am a tad wary of the returning midfielders to Victoria from the GWS & GC teams. IMO neither Josh Caddy or Taylor Adams have got close to the hype that surrounded them when they said they wanted to come back to Vic and even Dom Tyson has a lot to prove before justifying giving up Josh Kelly for.

What?

It is laughable to insinuate that Melbourne would be regretting effectively trading Kelly for Tyson and Salem.

Tyson has shown more thus far at senior level than Kelly, and Salem looks a very likely type who could well develop into a jet in his own right.

I guess we should write off a 21 year old Caddy who has suffered a few injuries since joining Geelong. Or we could watch him play and acknowledge he's an outstanding young player who will almost certainly be a 10+ year player.

Adams has shown from day 1 that he is comfortable at AFL level having played some wonderful football for GWS over the first two seasons of his career. He hasn't managed to replicate those performances thus far at Collingwood but that's no surprise considering they've trialed him in a few different positions. He's behind Luke Ball as an inside midfielder but he'll step into that role once Ball retires over the next year or so and be an outstanding ready made replacement.

I guess it's easier to stick the boots into players who are 21 and 20 years old respectively than look at the facts as they present themselves.

Some of these kids are outstanding talents and that doesn't change if they aren't getting regular games at GWS or GC. Both clubs have been handed enormous concessions to ensure their success and it was always going to be the case that talented players were going to miss out or be pushed out and redistributed across the competition.

We'd be idiots to be 'wary' because a 20 year old and a 21 year old are yet to hit their straps.

 

[marleyblue]

We must be approaching 11.05pm now on the premiership clock though wouldn't we.

Well according to Mick we are a top 4 team on the training track

Great post!!

How old is Casbolt???

Just dont hear anything about him... All the attention appears to be on all the "young guns".

What's with the scornful attitude? Not sure anything he said comes even close to 'sticking the boots in' re: young players.
