Hi guys. Good luck against the Crows on Saturday night.

A trade question. Do you think Tom Boyd was worth the price you paid for him?

Yep. And then some.

yep, Long term player at a high price now but with the new TV deal and a increase in player spending in the future. His contract will be cheap in terms of other key forwards

Yes. Are you liking the *#%^>|}<?€ one? Is he good for you guys?

 

[Mofra]

Melbourne going for the most athletic and stupid key defence trio in history with McDonald, Talia and Frost.

At least that means Cam Wight can kick-start his coaching career

He has his moments.

 

[Zgope1]

He has his moments.

Been a disappointment for someone who should be your best player.

Our bloke on the other hand is tracking fine for a 19 YO kpf. Has some good games and some bad but will be a weapon in the long run

 

[Gmod23]

He frustrated the crap out of my in our colors. Glad he got us something good when he left.

Agree

3 days ago anyone suggesting getting Adcock would have been resoundingly laughed at in this thread

But he played a good game against us. I'm a major culprit here #WHE

Pick 6 ?? Yep, he was worth that.....

That is classic Pann. You will never change.

Port would be the envy of the comp if they landed both but they'd have to get rid of Hartlett you'd think for it to happen.

Adcock isn't injury prone, he had 1 or 2 poor years with injury when he was younger but he's been durable the last 4 seasons, I'd be happy with him as back up + he's 3-4 years younger than Boyd and Murph and would give our backs experience for a year or two when they retire. Adcock is a way better option than having Fuller, Darley, Goodes and Pearce around.

Pies will have to get rid of a player/players for their rumoured incomings, Kreuzer would play that Leigh Brown role at Collingwood that they've tried but failed horribly to fill in with Lynch and White. Perhaps Carlton would burn down Visy if he went there also lololololol.

I don't think there will be many suitors for Bennell, firesale. North might as they try any scabby campaigner trick

 

[Zephiisdaman]

I see grundy as a Minson clone. Not a bad ruckman but gets smashed around the ground by the mobile rucks. I'd look elsewhere

Disagree

 

[Butane]

How many ruckman are as good as Grundy at that age? He cops so much shit because he plays for Collingwood but he's actually way ahead of schedule. I still can't believe other clubs gifted the Pies that draft steal.

I've been pro-Adcock since he was told to leave

 

[go you pups]

McDonald?

 

[Zephiisdaman]

Agree - Lobbe is close to Minson in style, Bevo clearly wants someone more mobile who can quickly get into correct zoning positions around the ground on transition and has less of a focus on contesting the ruck.

Will WCE move Lycett on? There's obviously Nicnat and Sinclair but if he's contracted I imagine they'd want to keep him

Is it a Will style issue? Or a style + attitude + foitydumb reason? I would say Jacobs and Mumford are similar and we would be all ové those two.

 

[Cudi]

McDonald?

Tom McDonald.

Good player but does some dumbsh*t stuff.

He turns over the ball and has an odd brain fade, but so does Lake for etc

Completely disagree he's a dumb footballer, he'll get in the AA squad this season.

Lake is also a dumb footballer.
Gun and dumb aren't mutually exclusive.

 

[Mofra]

Lake is also a dumb footballer.

Lake could tell you if a kick from every midfielder in the competition would me likely to hit the target, go slightly long or go slightly short (or be way off target in some cases). His reading of the play shows incredible football knowledge.

But ball in hands he could be incredibly and at times breathtakingly inept/stupid. And the less said about bumping Riewoldt and choking Petrie the better.
Players are not just one thing.

You forgot selfish

Loved him though, was an interesting character
