speaking of Malthouse.. i'm sure i recall him bagging gumby on channel 7 this year, saying hes limited, dosent do enough.

Didn't Blight say something about letting Robert Harvey have 40 possessions because he'd only take it sideways? Or something?

Then he wound up coaching him, and that...

Oh, right. Point taken.

haha was that another one of Blights theories? hes out there that guy!

He doesn't give a rat's tossbag what you think of him!

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Say what you will about North, their exports are roundly awesome.

Kekovich, Blighty, the Duck, David King, David Dench, David Hale...

 

[Kong]

Oh man.

Just wanted to re-post it!

 

[Lance Uppercut]

gold

 

[Zach Package]

We've nominated Daniher and fields as father sons, fields though the new rookie pathway. Neagle and Williams miss out unfortunately

 

[Howard Moon]

can anyone tell me stuff about Fields? skill set? plays like?

 

[Lance Uppercut]

I might have this totally wrong, but...

Wasn't Neville Fields the guy we traded for Neale Daniher, which in turn allowed us to get the rest of the Daniher's in a coup that has kept on giving?

If so, I find it highly amusing and remarkable that we could then be getting a Fields and a Daniher this year. If that is indeed the case surely the Fields trade was the best trade ever made by anybody, ever, in the history of the universe

Pretty sure it was.

If both kids turn out to be awesome, then Barry Davis is The Man. Again.

I watched some footage from last year. Very good kick, plays a roaming, rebound defenders role. The commentators were obsessed with his kicking, and were continuously saying how similar it was to his fathers kicking. So id have to say that his kicking skills must be his trump card.

It has some way to go before beating this old doozy for pure deliverance of pleasure

Worst trade ever?

That's easy. Pick 16 and 46 for Stephen O'Reilly who played 12 games for you. AND you had to pay him illegally outside the cap. AND he blew the whistle on you. AND you had to pay a fine. AND you got kicked out of the draft and had to recruit hacks. AND it meant that your multi-million investment in Denis Pagan was a waste because he had no players.

Stephen O'Reilly for - Pick 16, pick 46, $1m fine, pick 1, 2, 17 and 33 in the 2003 draft, pick 1 in the 2003 PSD, 1st and 2nd round picks in the 2004 draft.

[Lord Nicholson]

So where's the source for this F/S shennanigans?

 

[BrunoV]

192 cm third KPP I think.

Fields sounds like a bit of a Gibson/suckling combination according to the bomberblitz boffins.
Kicking and spoiling his apparent strengths 190 cms, 90 kegs. 3rd tall type.

 

[Howard Moon]

better not talk him up too much.. someone might snaffle him!

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Exactly the type we need!

Doesn't win the hardball, loves a drink, can't cook, and struggles to merge lanes properly. Marginal prospect at best

 

[daz17]

If we do pick him up, it rules out any play for Josh Toy.

 

[eth-dog]

has a decent leg on him too. I like him

 

[Zach Package]

Our mate Emma Quayle seems to think that Williams will go around with the essendon vfl side, while neagle will play tac as an over ager (via humble minion on bb)

You forgot about the <injunction> at the underage championships, that and the fact he developed OP... yeah OP.... late in the season.

 

[BrunoV]

There is obviously so much more to the story but you'd think we draft Fields on the back of that kick alone.
