Dark Sharks ......How about Lathlain though , pre season now in Lathlain equals training reports for all ??

 

[bl4ke]

Cripps is a GUN and should be a top 3 or so mid for the next decade. Get bold.

He is a good clearance player thats about it

 

[Cuzdup]

Now we are talking

Dont get too excited. Kellys link to WA is minor compared to his Victorian link.

 

[Eaglespur]

I live in the western suburbs of Melbourne and enjoy it. Has the opposite reputation

Sexier, taller Priddis?

 

[Jako Darling]

He is a good clearance player thats about it

And is a 195cm 93kg monster who is only 22.

Monocle thoughts on the housing market?

Should I back my place in to improve in this economy or go to the draft?

Also, thoughts on Wembley as a bullocking inside suburb? Thinking about using my second but i think it has the potential to be A grade.

This is cute, satire and all.

I apologise for using a public forum to get input from someone who has answered my queries previously.

Eh?

Monocle

Thoughts on Mitch Crowden for one of our late picks?
Like the look of him, watched him through the carnival didn't do much wrong?

I am a fan all be it for a late pick, his stature doesn't worry me as he is such a nuggety bullocking bustling player.
Things happen when he is around the ball. I like the left foot passes as well.

Has played well at Sturt and I expect that a Club will roll the dice with him with a late pick , he is as hard as a cats head and is a footballer's footballer.

Dark Sharks it would be greatly appreciated if you refrained from buying anywhere in the Western Suburbs, whilst Wembley is on the periphery of the Golden Triangle its just too close for comfort.

I consulted REIWA and they anticipated that if news of your good self buying and living in Wembley got out and was made public, then the financial consequences would trigger a drop in the real estate vales in the area by 12% - 15 %.

So as someone who has several properties in the area I plead with you to stay away.

Suggest you stay where you are and back the economy to eventually come good.

So in short please stay the **** away from the Western Suburbs.

"Stay off the west side"

Eh?

Sorry meant for Dark Sharks

He looks like he has a burst of pace, knows where to be to get the ball, disposes well with hand and foot to advantage, can take an overhead mark, has awareness, can shrug a tackle and has a fair bit of toughness about him. Why wouldn't we use our second pick on him? Would he really last until ~48?

don't worrk about dark sharks. He actually has a positive impact on all us with his humour and its stops us going insane.

Mickey I think there will be some better players available for us with our second so IMO it would be quite a reach for him with our second round pick.
Would he last till 48???? I think he will.

Agree with you 100% on the toughness and he has a bit of agro about him as well and thats a trait that our list is short on ..... and by some margin.

He reminds me a bit of B Waters with the kicking action of Banfield but yes...... it's the toughness I like about him. We haven't had anything like that for a few years now!
If he happens to last until our 3rd pick I hope we take him!!

If they move Gaff on it'll be part as a move to get Kelly I would have thought.
It would be a dramatic move for us so big plans would be involved.

We paid pick 4 for Gaff when we recruited him. As an All Australian, he has honoured the standard of that pick. If we were to trade him, we would need to get a player at least as good as that in return.

I'd say Kelly is like Gaff but can kick when fatigued.
A bit harder too.

Well worth it.

 

[paran]

What do you mean he refused to be moved back paran? Do you mean into defence? Never complained about it at Swans. He refused to move to Perth for development, yes. Actually he initially agreed and then told Suma he wasn't moving.
Carlton were close to giving him a second go. When he was younger he didn't get the attack on the ball thing. Now he does.
Dylan Main was in a similar boat but he is really starting to get it this year. Reckon he'd be worth more on the list than Tunbridge, dor example.

My understanding was that he refused to move to defence, but I think your info is better. You've caught my gist with both Main and Notte. It's very much a mental thing rather than a physical thing. Both those players are very skilled. I think Main is very talented and now that he's awakened he'd be a very good player for us. I'd definitely take him over Gorter and Tunbridge.

 

[dinnaz]

Tony Notte always looked like a good player but always struggled to put on size. From memory the nail in his AFL coffin was the fact that his lung capacity was found to be too small which unfortunately is genetic.

 

[F_therest]

Masten would be a great get for a rebuilding club like GC, with his renowned work ethic at training. He's fallen behind a few in our squad this year and would get more opportunity in the seniors there. Potential win for all involved if they would part with a late second or early third.

Wouldn't be surprised if we were interested IF Gibbs left.

What's he worth? He got dropped right? I wouldn't have thought it'd be much considering.

masten is a pure outside runner tho.

ideally a late second rounder but rekon he'll go for a third rounder.

Your third would get it done mate.

Carlton has a pick in the late 30s, yeah? That will do.
