Bluemour Melting Pot XX - Snark Free Zone

[Blue__Balls]

the "7" rumour is a week or two old, the "elite mid" approaching us unilaterally is new. Ergo they are 2 separate opportunities.

Not necessarily.

The "approaching us" component could be new information about the same player.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Treloar and Dow have the same issue....

Treloar and Dow have the same issue....

Trealor is actually reliable in front of goals...

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Are we sure its not just Zac Fisher, that is the big fish... he has just bulked up?

 

[ferrisb]

Does anyone know when the trade period starts?

Just take half an hour off this

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Trealor is actually reliable in front of goals...

And gets it more often.

 

[mochacinolatte]

anyways if Trealor is the mystery gun midfielder who approached us. What are we willing to offer?

A Future first and just leave it at that.

 

[mochacinolatte]

And gets it more often.

I get anxiety when I watch Dow's set shot!

 

[ferrisb]

Sloane is sexy, but surely too old for us unless comes cheaply

Hey!

That's my girlfriend you're talking about!

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Do what I do, don’t watch....

I’m setting up my zone position....

If Dow does not improve his disposal he is going to be a player with so much talent in other areas that were totally wasted at the top level because of his inability to be able kick the ball well.

It would be a shame but blokes that cannot kick and turn the ball over by foot all the time often have short AFL life spans. He is still young though and hopefully he improves on it as he could be anything.

I have faith in our skills department to fix this flaw in his game.

you're right

Think the his draft comparison was to Dangerfield. I can actually see it.

Isn't Dow being personally trained by Diesel?

Anyway, kicking is a skill, with enough practice you'll inevitably improve. The thing about young players is as they build muscle/strength, it slightly alters their kicking action, it will take a while to adjust to.

Also noticed that a lot of Dow's disposals are from when he's running at full tilt, needs to slow up before kicking the ball to avoid shanks.

The only two No7s that is worth discussing is from Freo and Pies. If its interstate then the bloke with the man bun...

im bloody confused

S*** haircuts!

 

[Curnivore]

Let's be honest with ourselves, the main reason most of the ITK posters are giving us information is for the attention and back slapping they get from everyone here. Providing information to other supporters is usually secondary. Not saying it's bad or anything, just being realistic.

I think a few ITK posters here are doing it for the club to leak it to the media without giving a journo the opportunity to twist it.

If its him we don't have enough fire power to get him.

True and i am not riding the kid off at all, but in saying that we as supporters need to see improvement in this area of his game very soon and hopefully we correct it. His confidence is shot every time he goes by foot and it makes him second guess himself causing errors as Paddy is always looking for the handball.

While kicking is a skill if you have been taught wrong from an early junior playing the game it can be VERY hard to correct when you are in your 20's playing at the highest level when the pressure factor is so much more intense as you just do not have the luxury of time in hand when you have the ball in the AFL.

I’m not entirely caught up on this thread but surely this mid who has approached us is attracted to playing under Teague? If so, would narrow it to Adelaide or West Coast right?

Back then, this forum was known as Big Jousting and trade updates were delivered via the town crier.
