I read all of your post solely because of your account creation date. Anyone going at 6 posts a year average for 15 years needs their posts read!

HBF goes at 6 posts every 15 mins....

Let's just get a plugin on his browser that changes 'Gibbs' to 'Jones' and that should keep things under control for 12 months.

I've got one that changes Trump to Drumpf (care of John Oliver).

Pretty funny, but it can get a bit hairy though, as I sometimes have to quote websites for work...

I have always very much gone with quality over quantity with all of my posts....unfortunately for me most people on here saw through that after about the first week!

When he was fronting up at the brownlow to intro the retiring players I was thinking he had gave the game away. But then realised he gave the game away went he went to EFC.
Btw, understood even less of what he said than I did of Andrew Lloyd.

Andrew Lloyd?

You mean Andrew Welsh?

Or perhaps he's some kind of footballer/property developer/musical star - Andrew Lloyd Welsher...

Boot studer perhaps?

Happy to lose Gibbs for some young talent. Great player and I like him but he will never reach his full potential at the Blues. Adelaides 1st rounder and a young player works for me.

Crows 1st plus Lyons is a fair deal.

Crows 1st plus Lyons is a fair deal.

No thanks. If the Crows are low-balling Lyons, we should be able to get him far cheaper than that.

There is no way Gibbs is going to go back to South Australia. The state can't afford to pay its power bill...

Is that Dylan Shiel's hamstring?

That's only because their power output is inconsistent.

Generally realiable enough, but occasionally output is less than expected and then extremely high output.

Hey, that sounds familiar...

EDIT: and it's during the low output that everyone thinks about future proofing and trading with interstate is a serious consideration...

What I am saying is that Docherty's zone and attacking play seems to be much better, as do his disposal skills. If Marchbank offered that while playing as a KPD, he'd be at Weitering's level.

He's not, in fact he's a long way off that and arguably never worth the pick that was spent on him. Still want him, but not a chance he's worth more than 23.

I understand where you're coming from, but you're judging apples against oranges. Doc didn't have any of those things when he first arrived, he only had potential. Marchbank is the same except you pay more for KPD potential.

That said, I'm not arguing we give up 5, even in a downgrade type situation.

The Herald Sun went with the Smedts rumour this morning, for a late pick. I'd be ok with that.

You do, but I'd argue Doc's output outweighs Marchbank's expected level. Doc looks like he'll be a 4xAA defender.

Surely spells the end of Sheehan if so.

I think he's probably in trouble, either way, but yes.

I wouldn't. Too injury prone. No tricks. Not hard enough. Rather try our luck at jagging a player in the draft.

The official reaction of the name Gibbs in the rumor thread.

I wouldn't. Too injury prone. No tricks. Not hard enough. Rather try our luck at jagging a player in the draft.

With the amount of players being delisted, we'll be picking into the 90's. Is Smedts better than Pick 91? Pretty likely.

 

[SafeAsMilk]

Smedts is a dud. Bites off way more than he can chew every time I've seen him play. Tries to be Stevie J, ends up butchering it.

 

[HBF]

lack of rumours causing the cfc crew to start eating their own. We need some rumours pronto!

Usually pretty quiet in GF week.
They should start cranking out again next week.

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Smedts is utterly, utterly putrid.

Smedts is utterly, utterly putrid.

Looked like a superstar in the making in his first season...I think injury has been unkind...and it isn't easy to get a gig and keep it at Geelong.

for mine - he has the talent - but is his body right?

Even his pranks get foiled by the cops.

No football brain, poor skills, not hard enough, injury prone.

He is not up to it.

No he is not.
