So just curious as to what the magic number to take the VC's score and use the loophole this season is? Usually it's been 120+ but after having Danger as C last week anything less than 140 seems worth the risk. I'm thinking Pendles > Danger as I've got Korcheck in the ruck for the loophole

Agreed Cooney has got upside but we just haven't seen it consistently enough to rely on. Then you obviously don't watch many games. His tank is great and will easily slot into a wing/linkup player which Stanton would normally do. Kelly is needed between the arcs. We have the least experience...

Cause you're entitled to an immediate direct response :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

As my bluntness tends to get moderated out allowing for continued uneducated statements to be made let me put it this way. Deep breath go and re-read what myself and many others have said and come back in 24 hours and read it again and then try and make an informed response cause right now you...

The kids played 30 odd games and you want him acting like a 200 game veteran??? Oh and it took Colyer around 4 seasons to put it all together

Just WOW. So you'd rather he kicked backwards or sideways just so there wasn't a turnover?? He's one of the few players that take a risk in moving the ball forward and opening the field up. Maybe you should go back and really watch the games and not hang your hat on a Gleeson turnover costing 5...

Hard to get a read on Lewis. I feel he needs to kick more goals to go big. While Sloane did finish with a great average but I know a lot a people that traded him in after that dislocated finger and were pretty quick to trade him back out. Also had some rubbish scores with the C on him too. I had...

Think Sloane burnt a lot of people last year same can be said about Lewis too.

I see your point. One less premo to a rookie and split that cash between fwd and def. Play the long game rather than the short term;)

Cheers for the feedback. Understand there is plenty of risky selection but if I do go more safer picks the side starts looking more like everyone elses. NAB will sort out a few choices like Rich, Barlow, Aish and the rookie selections.

Trying something different this season and going all out in the mids. D: K. Kolodjashnij, E. Yeo, D. Rich, J. Aish, M. Brown(ESS), M. Hartley. (R. Bonner,K. Collins) M: P. Dangerfield, S. Pendlebury, G. Ablett, T. Rockliff, Fyfe , T. Liberatore, B. Crouch, C. Mills (Parish, Kerridge...

No that's a talent scouts and recruiters are for. We get no special rights to the players we sign as "top ups". We need known quantity players that fill a need and with the rumour mill in in high rotation than pre trade week I'd only mark down Crowley as a certainty too. Pretty the hun has...

And we've found our Caro leak ;):p

This group of 34 players, that has dwindled to 12 currently playing at the club, have stuck together through this entire sad sorry story I can't see them abandoning the rest of the playing group. The body language from these 12 to say they'll be elsewhere just hasn't been there. I know a season...

Be interesting to see if Woosh uses him in a straight tagging role or decides to let him loose a bit ala Picken??? Nevertheless there is that protection there for the younger guys to step up with some reassurance/confidence.

Exactly the AFL created these restrictions. Mitch Brown has got to be the best example of the positive side to having top-up players. State clubs denying a player another shot at "the big time" are only hindering said player for their own monetary gain. Comparing apples and oranges. It's still...

Great signing. Exactly what we needed

Totally agree with Goddard as captain and I think he'll not be a demonstrative on field with such a young side and Woosh as coach. Would like to see a bit of a mix in the leadership group and have the likes of Merrett, Laverde, Daniher in there with Goddard, Bags and probably Bird. I wrote...

If my memeory serves me correctly didn't Hird have an article with the HUN or AGE prior to "dog chasing tail" saga? IMO whatever he says in the article/interview have either been theorized or conclusions drawn to what he says. Surely if there was some information that exonerates players he...

I think that entire administration can be summed up by this:

There was some professional trust in place. Having to individually test each vial is micro managing to the enth degree and would be a logistical nightmare(record keeping wasn't a strong suite). Robinson and Dank were hired as above board professionals and either the due diligence done by...

Just remember it wasn't so long ago that Hawthorn and Melbourne almost Merged. Plenty of other clubs would have shut up shop long before this CAS appeal

A few things this entire process/saga/debacle/cluster* has produced: 1) So many parasites are given oxygen to have their 5 minutes in the spotlight. 2) Still so much confusion 3) A question as to when and where this exonerating evidence/truth is that Hird and Dank keep feeding the media 4)...

To think he was on the trade table a few years ago :oops:

Myers breaking his collarbone in the first 5 minutes in 2015 had a lot to do with not being able "to prove himself" even though I think in the eyes of many he had already shown his importance in the side. He's an extremely under-rated player.

Hang on. You are comparing Bird with two of the quickest blokes in the side and want them to play a defensive forward role??? o_O:rolleyes:

He may as well go play rugby league then.

Gone are the days of a straight out 'tagger'. The modern game is becoming even more demanding and AFL players need to be able to fill multiple roles as I've stated with other player which have since departed the club. The game is continuously evolving Freo had one of the most effective shut down...

LOL!!!!! Rather a bloke that wants to and can play forward than a bloke with a massive attitude problem and throws tantrums during a game. Hibberd has had to learn to deal with a tag which I think he's started to get through. Hocking and Myers are both proven best 22 players that will allow...
