The Great Potatoe Harvest of 2019

[Tempy Tiger]

So who gets it in the neck?
- Keilty, surely
- JKH, again, surely, but I remain adamant he is an AFL level player, we just killed his career as is our want
- Tim Smith, I think he stays
- AVB, gone, unfortunately his body is broken beyond repair
- bedford, gone, has shown 2/3 of 0
- Lewis - cooked
- Kolodjashnij (what a ridiculously hard name to spell!) gone, for his own well being
- Jeffy - left the building two years ago
- Stretch - unfortunately has become a quintessential list clogger
- Maynard - I hope we keep him,
- the Waffen brothers, I hope we keep josh

It’s shaping up to be an all time record harvest.

On top of this, Jones, Hibberd and Nev are all near to the end and Brayshaw looks as invested as Jack Watts in a gym.

 

[Sylvia Saint]

Delist: Maynard, KK, JKH, J Wagner (senior list)
Delist: Keilty, C Wagner (rookie list)
"Retire": Garlett
50/50 retire: Vandenberg

1 year deal: Lewis (play as permanent forward / off field mentor)

Keep: The rest you mentioned.

- Maynard - I hope we keep him,

Did you throw that one in just to see if people were reading?

No, I like him. Would prefer him in over Viney at the minute. Just needs a stretch of uninterrupted games at senior level.

Just about the best line I have read in a long time

“Brayshaw looks as invested as Jack Watts in a gym”.

I could see Watts going gangbusters in the gym if he hopped on the treadmill behind something well constructed.

Edit: and many gyms have pools.

We'd have to jettison every midfielder we currently have into space for him to be frivolously considered for a run of games at senior level.

Our midfield sucks. Oliver has regressed this year. He gets lots of possessions but most of them help the opposition more than us. Harmes gets a pass. He’s our best mid right now in my opinion. Brayshaw shits me to tears. He’s lazy, has zero accountability and runs one way. Trac is only capable of doing short bursts here and there as he has the engine of an e-bike. Viney is a shell of what he was. He’s not even aggressive anymore and that was always his best trait. Nathan Jones was b grade at the peak of his powers. He’s no longer even best 22. Lewis moves worse than me and I’m fat and 43 years old. Salem, id like to see more of in the guts. Fritsch isn’t an onballer.

So who are the gun mids keeping him out? Our team is picked on reputation, not performance.

Potatoes (gone)
JKH, Keilty, Maynard

Turnips (likely gone)
T Smith, Lewis, Jeffy

Beets (could stay, could go)
Stretch, Wagners

Magic Beans (will stay because they could sprout into something beautiful, but probably won't)
KK, AVB

Sweet Potato (could fool some clubs with his bright colour and be traded, still a potato)
ANB

 

[Proper Gander]

First things first.

What’s that E doing on the end of Potato? Did George Bush Jnr start this thread?

I would like to present J Hunt as a sweet potato option. I like him, but I feel as though his speed and headband might persuade a club he is twice the player he is, and we might get something nicer back.

I would also like to move Jordan Lewis from Turnip to potato. I wouldn’t have a few weeks back but there are now some embarrassing and awkward circumstances between me and Jordy that make it difficult for me to see him on TV so sorry Jordan, you have to go. It’s not you, it’s me.

I'd like to keep Hunt but you're right that he's exactly the sort we might get something decent back for.

Are the embarrassing and awkward circumstances hair related? I feel like it definitely would be for you...

No it’s worse than that.

I am going to regret posting this at some point but whatever.

Have you ever been asleep and having some vaguely sexy sort of dream and you wake up and are feeling all good and all only to suddenly freak out and leap out of bed because you’ve just realised the cast of characters? I’m finding it difficult to look Jordy in the eye at the moment. He’s been selected in every game since, plus he pops up everywhere in commentary roles. Something has to be done or I’ll utilise the power of the #metoo movement and confuse the courts by attempting to take out an AVO on my TV

You're right, you are going to regret posting this....

...but mostly for when your TV lodges this as evidence that the whole story is a fabrication and that the AVO should be denied.

 

[Devastating Boris]

Fairly certain Maynard and ANB are in contract negotiations.

Some whispers that KK May retire.

we are ******* kidding if we sign Maynard again I’d rather a kid at pick 70

Bedford has a two year deal like all national draftees he won’t go anywhere.

 

[schmuttt]

No, I like him. Would prefer him in over Viney at the minute. Just needs a stretch of uninterrupted games at senior level.

Sometimes I feel you enjoy playing devils advocate even more than Topkent does

Capitalising the M in may there caused me a heart-attack!

You of all people would know a Potato when you see one.

 

[Marc_Remillard]

KK retiring would be a massive kick in the guts

 

[Johnny Karate]

Out: Lewis, Stretch, Maynard*, JKH, Garlett, C Wagner*, J Wagner, Keilty*

50/50: Kolodjashnij, vandenBerg (contracted but his chronic foot injuries could force him into retirement), Walker *(see vandenBerg replace foot with shoulder), J Smith (could seek a trade if he’s ****ed off at the club).

Will stay but meh: Spargo, Hannan, O Mac, ANB, T Smith

Declining: Jones, Hibberd, Jetta

Need a ******* rocket up them: Viney, Brayshaw, Preuss, Weideman, T Mac, Hunt

Who knows? - Bedford, Jordon, Nietschke, Sparrow, Baker, Chandler, Bradtke, Dunkley

More like a good result...we only took him as the steak knifes part of the May deal.

KK has played 21 games in 3 years and looks pretty avg in all of those 21 gameS!
