come home Jake Lever, we are all waiting for you with your new red Audi

 

[threesixpio]

So far our pillaging of the expansion clubs has yielded Jed Anderson, Jon orourke and jaeger omeara.

Hopefully we start getting some serious gametime out of these imports, especially if we go back and get some more.

Don't know anything about hopper. Will he be able to slot in and get 25 touches a game from the get go?

Jed got us Ernie so I'm ok with it.

JOR however....

So c7 reporting tonight we're into Jake Lever and Devon Smith. Noice, make it happen Wrighty

 

[HawksILove]

Jake Lever and Devon Smith

 

[Move P]

Devon Smith is a great talent. Not sure if it's what we need. Would prefer Kennedy/Hopper type

 

[SSSSSS]

Hopper is my #1 target (that I can realistically see us nabbing) for the silly season but Kennedy will be a decent consolation prize.

Dusty is my fantasy target though. He'd turn us into a top 4 team by himself ala Dangerfield.

Also reported Clarko presented a new game plan to the board about five weeks which was approved!

Spectacular results to say the least!

Only bad part is we have shown our hand already for 2018 and clubs will work on it over summer

Still genius tho, heck Clarko needs a round of applause

Is that to suggest that Clarko has to have his game plan approved by The Board (of Directors)?

Surely not?

Lever and Hopper and I would be a lot more excited.

Dunno and doubt it, however it seems he got everybody's buy in to what looks like his new masterpiece, and this with playing the kids

Yeah, and we could still yet with Smith thrown in to boot which isnt to be sneezed at as Smith could take over pops spot

 

[PhatHQ]

He's a bit like Mitchell or DeGoey in that he's not being being used optimally due to an abundance of riches in the midfield. Both Sydney and Collingwood had (and have) stacked midfields. That meant that even though the two afformentioned midfielders were guns, there weren't given free reign. Mitchell was used as a tagger ffs and DeGoey as almost a small key forward.

Mitchell has thrived being the #1 midfielder at Hawthorn. DeGoey racked up 32 disposals against us when he was moved into the midfield. Hopper follows the same trend: he's a powerful, explosive contested ball winning bull who was forced to play across half-forward with stints in the midfield because GWS have an abundance of talented midfielders in their prime. Had 31 on debut playing as a pure midfielder but tapered off when moved.

If we slot him straight into the midfield, I'd be very surprised if he averages anything under 20. This kid is Dangerfield 2.0, and say what you want about Danger but he's a hell of a player. Pity he takes acting lessons on the side.

Nice.
Bang on

 

[HawksILove]

correct

I'd imagine its similar to how the Queen has to approve the laws parliaments passes.

What is this madness? Hopper smith AND lever?

Won't happen. Can't happen.

 

[Holy Rioli]

Don't want Devon Smith, he's a good ball winner and pressure player inside 50, but probably the worst shot on goal there is in the comp.

 

[HawksILove]

Lever, Hopper and Martin plz

 

[Dipper]

Dunno and doubt it, however it seems he got everybody's buy in to what looks like his new masterpiece, and this with playing the kids

It seems more likely it would be his strategic vision, regarding our youth, FA, trading, drafting rather than the tactical on pitch game plan itself, which could be defunct by the start of next year anyway.

Was rated as the best mid in the draft a few years ago. Had 30+ possies in his first game from memory. Will be a gun once he gets over the injurys, luckily most of them have been impact injuries and not soft tissue

It might have been more like "this game plan is for the kids, so a few premiership players will be moved on" kind of meeting....

A Saints guy posted this on twitterView attachment 396208

I had a look at this guys tweets through the trade period last year and he was pretty bang on with most of his trade rumours. He seems certain Poppy is gws bound

 

[JordyLuke]

I love Poppy, but if it assists with picking up a talented youngster from GWS I could live with it.
