Someone needs to go back and catalogue all of the calls that
hungrytiger preaches as fact but has got completely and blatantly wrong.
"McGovern 100% gone to Freo"
Im at a Brendan Fevola function.
Mcgovern is 100% gone to Freo. So theres our Round 1 pick.
Cripps heading home, so is Jack Martin
Spoke to a very good Carlton mate who lives in Brighton with big connections he says Cripps is heading home to WCE. Its not a money thing. Home thing. He will get big money eventually at WCE.
Id say Gaff is how this happens.
Ive also heard we are into Jack Martin through friends of his. Hes not going to cost too much.
Ryan returning through the WAFL - nope, came straight back into the side.
Actually just spoke to someone about Ryan and he's lining up for EP this week and playing next game against bombers. I'd say Petch is a fair chance now. Shuey and Petch in.
Kennedy back against the Crows - nope, missed that week and the week after
KENNEDY is back for this game. Have a look at the video yesterday of him. He was running and says it's mostly muscle corked. Simmo said he will be back too.
We definitely now have been shown we can't play 3 tall fwds when it comes to the crunch. We need more run.
Edited changes
INs
JK, Ahchee, Sheed, Venables, Barrass, Watson, Petruccelle
OUTS
Mcinnes, Waterman, Masten, Hutchings, Schofield, Jetta, Lecras
Getting rid of slow guys and Old has beens. And never will be's in Waterman and Mcinnes.
We need to do this now. Get some youth in before we play an improved Giants and Pies.
Tim Kelly's missus and kids are back in Perth - nope, Mrs Kelly said she was struggling in Geelong but she was still there.
His MRS and Kids are back in Perth...Get over yourselves he is coming home.
Cripps has told Carlton he's leaving - nek minnit signs for two more years.
Cripps has told Carlton hes leaving Avishka. Ive got this from a top source too..hence why this blues man that started thread is saying its not what the media are saying about him. And instead of waiting til Free Agency next season they can gain for him now.
And it could look like this.
Blues are using pick 1 to get Dylan Shiel and an exchange of picks maybe.
Mitch Mcgovern is going to Carlton.
Blues have also offered a big contract to Jeremy.
Eagles match and force a trade. Jeremy and say another WAFL Victorian player Ie Mutimer or someone else for Cripps.
In affect Blues get Dylan Shiel, Jeremy Mcgovern and Mitch Mcgovern..
Could be a similar situation for Tim Kelly.
Lycett to be used.
Eagles get Cripps and Kelly lose Mcgovern and Lycett.
Dont forget Lecras and Emac to retire. Could really retire Jetta too.
Someone has said on a thread not long ago that West Coast were getting 2 classy mids. Well theres your 2 mids.
Mcgovern will be offered 1.2 plus million
Lycett wants to be number 1 ruckman so hes looking at 7 to 800k. Thats 2 million.
We can get Cripps and Kelly for less.
Eagles physios hopeful NicNat only had bone bruising - if they were they kept it pretty quiet, Simmo's reaction immediately after the match suggested everyone suspected the worst. Note: couldn't find his follow up claim that NicNat was going to retire and take a job with the AFL, think he deleted it.
Physio above has spoken to the Eagles physios. He said to me they are hopeful its Torn Meniscus and bone bruising. 4 to 6 weeks. But pain associated with both are similar. See above.
Swallow headed to Freo - nope, re-signed recently.
Ainsworth was heading for a round 1 debut before he got injured, hence Masten getting a reprieve - nope, Ainsworth didn't miss a week of action.
Ainsworth looking good. He was the one the Eagles said was the bolter in the preseason and Masten got a lifeline as Ainsworth got injured.
Gaff will put pen to paper in a couple of weeks - we're still waiting
Just heard that Gaff will put pen to paper within a couple weeks.
Keanu Pinder to West Coast - I suppose this could still happen but we're actively trying two other basketballers, not him
Confirmed Keanu Pinder to West Coast..Have some pretty good company tonight at my local.
This will still take some beating.
Ballantyne has signed at Baldivis Brumbies with his mate Blaine Johnson.
