Jeremias, I get your point but you still have to reward form whether it’s from 8 weeks ago or training form over the next couple of weeks. Best available doesn’t cut it with me. A player may have come back from the break and not have done all his program and be over weight but still be available to play to play. Fit and inform is critical. It’s integrity of selection.
Charlie not worth much to us atm
that's the spirit!
Hence the reason for my post
See I would say no because if he is out it doesn’t really hurt us unless someone else is missing.
Yeh I don’t think we are going to see any players clothes shopping at Kmart any time soon, though it could possibly make some of the lower paid players more open to a trade now they are more aware/awakened to financial stability.
I feel about Newnes the way I did about Kerridge, but there is one important difference - Our squad needs to be developed and we all had an idea that Newnes would likely take the place of maybe an O'Brien, Williamson, or possibly even Fisher or Dow.
When you sign someone for three years, you don't sign them on to play reserves football.
I didn't mind taking on Newnes but did have these reservations in place. We'll just have to see how it plays out, but we can hardly blame Newnes for being selected.
Damn.....I thought it was next week we see he teams. Another fortnight to wait. Came here too early
Did we really sign Newnes for 3 years ?
Thats the part of our list management that has frustrated me the most. Plenty of 'lesser lights types that we either missed or didn't seriously consider who have gone on to be strong players at other clubs.
With the fact that Buddy is now having soft tissue injuries at 33 I think the Swans will be more desperate to secure Daniher come the end of the year and will back there medicos to get him back to his AA form pre groin issues, Essendon and DoDo will as usual play hardball in terms of letting him move so Sydney have to offer enough money to stop Essenscum from matching the bid which will automatically lift the compo pick to first round, is he worth it? fully fit absolutely he’s worth it and Sydney will back themselves to get him there. The other option is a trade which with Dodo in charge just won’t happen so he will be at Sydney next year and yes Essenscum will most probably get a first Rd compo pick. He’s a restricted free agent so Essenscum can match the offer and keep him, hence Sydney won’t be able to offer peanuts and will have to offer descent coin.
It will be interesting to see who Dodoro targets if Daniher does leave. You'd think Wines would be a good fit, but J Cameron is a nice upgrade on Daniher.
