What are you talking about?

The anticipation of trades is much more exciting than the actual trade period....

The after the trade period meltdowns is even better than the anticipation period.

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Most of our best players are young.
Only Kreuzer and Simpson really make up for our best team.
Murphy, Rowe, ASilvagni, Thomas, Casboult, Wright, and etc etc may not be part of our best squad as soon as next year.

Will be interesting to see what happens with them, besides A Silvagni, will there be any other retirements. I guess Casboult is the only one that may get traded.

the "welcome to......" thread going up is when I start to truly believe....
not before

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

agree with the format, broke my eyes - didn't stay long enough to experience other poster's shit - was back in my angry period of course

Oh, you left your angry period? What day was that?

Take Simpson out of our list and the average age /games drops to
13.

Pretty sure.

They have the 2nd oldest list behind Adelaide, this year.. Yet we are only 4th youngest?


Gotta raise questions, if they lose in straight-sets and go into 2019, with a similar list..

With ASOS (30), Shaw (26), mullet (26), o'shea (26) coming off our list. Then with the possiblity of Graham (24), kerridge (25), lamb (25), thomas (31) etc, our age profile will drop again next year.

Id expect us to bring in approx 3-5 18 to 21 year olds, then 3-5 22 to 26 year olds.

Old man Simmo will be 35 during next season. If he left this year our age profile would have dropped dramatically.

Fyi. The profile age of a playing group means very little

Was so lonely

Watch the Hawks swoop on Casboult and Jones, then turn them both into Premiership players.

TBH, I would love to see that. Just to watch the inevitable meltdown from his haters here. Would be gold!

Got a sneaky feeling we lost in straight sets in '94 and went into '95 with a similar list.

I have it rigged up to send me an alert. More than once I've left a meeting to check out whats happening.

With some luck, anything is possible.

Hope the meeting wasn't discussing your salary at the time.

"Passmark, if you walk out of this meeting don't bother turning up on Monday!!"

Passmark: "Woohoo, long weekend!"

It means nothing because it doesn't take ability into account. Same as games played, especially for lower sides who have gifted games to players.

If
you get McGovern ...

then
you May as well double down on the disgruntled Gold Coast co-captain. McGovern and May in key back posts would brighten up the place!

I guess if this were to happen, Rowe is likely to be asked to retire? Probably impacts on Jones too?

[TommyMcG]

Can’t say, but he has a big nose and made a cheeky bid on one of our father/son selections a few years back. Would this be more credible if I post it as a bluemour?

I know what you mean. I was stuck around a board room table last year with about 12 people when the Gibbs trade was going down. Discovered new and obscure ways to look at my phone for updates.
