Christmas Present

[Drakey]

Ok

It's Christmas morning & Father Christmas has left a little note in your stocking.

You can have 1 player from another club for Christmas.

Who do you want?

 

[Bitch]

Probably Nathan Buckley. How about you Drakey. It's your topic. Who would you want?

------------------
The Blues. The best in the business.

 

[StrengthThroughLoyalty]

Maybe santa's elves could cobble up another James Hird, for the saints.

Whould have to put a bit more glue in the feet.

Hird is a match winner that can dominate a game forward or in the middle, easily the best player going around at the moment.

 

[Bloodstained Angel]

Kouta please

and so he doesn't get love-sick I guess you better toss in Ang as well.

 

[Bitch]

BSA,
I was actually starting to respect you. But that cheap shot about Kouta and Ange was uncalled for. Anyhow you can't have him.




------------------
The Blues. The best in the business.

 

[TigerTank]

Michael Voss or Jeff White would do nicely thankyou.

 

[Bloodstained Angel]

He would never want to come up anyways Bitch.

OK Ok it was a cheap shot but even you would acknowledge Kouta is a much better, happier, more settled player with Ang there as well ?

 

[Bitch]

BSA,
You are not suggesting that they are anymore than friends are you?

------------------
The Blues. The best in the business.

cheers

 

[Bitch]

If he can play football like that. I don't care what the rumours are. Mind you though, it would be an awful waste if it was true. Which it isn't.

------------------
The Blues. The best in the business.

 

[Shinboners]

Mark Mercuri because he's such a wonderfully skilled player. Or Andrew McLeod if you could guarantee his knees.

 

[Pessimistic]

An in-form and fit Shane Crawford and Shaun Rehn will do us nicely thanks,

Perhaps Buckley for his footballing rather than his leadership qualities

 

[Drakey]

I'm like a kid in a candy store. I can't make up my mind.

I want a CHF cos we NEED one BAD.

I ruled out Wayne The King (like that Rooboy) Carey cos he's turning 30 this year & is starting to look a bit 2nd hand. I want this chrissy present to last. The King comes with too much gaffa tape on the sholders these days.

Next I thought of Chris Grant whose younger & looks almost new but he's turning 28 & seeing as I will have to save up to buy a new one I REALLY want a CHF that will last.

So then I thought "go for Ben Holland" he's young & got plenty of skill. But if I go for him then why not take a chance & go for Mathew Pavlich who is REAL young & will be a gun.

Then I went away & did some work (errr) & when I came back & had a look I saw someone had said Kouta & I thought "oh yeh forgot about him".

Then it hit me!!!!

I'll have Lance Whitnall please.

21 years old, already played lots of games, great mark, plenty of footy smarts & fat to boot. What more could I want.

 

[sainter]

After our new coaching recruit and players like Aaron Hamill and Fraser Gehrig, I wouldn't feel right about asking for more players.

But if I had to choose a current champ, I would go for a Chris Grant or James Hird and for a youngster, perhaps players like a Trent Croad or Adam Ramaunaskas would be my first choice.

And Bitch, you said in the Essendon again thread that Aaron Hamill left purely and simply for the money.

I'm sure you were aware that Aaron and his manager approached Carlton many times during the season trying to get a contract extention but was told to wait until the end of the season every time. His asking price was reportedly over $200,000 - 250,000 less than what he is getting now.

If he was that far down the pecking order at Carlton and combined with the embarrassment that he was forced to endure at the Best and Fairest, money was a contributing factor but definitely not the only factor.

 

[Drakey]

Shit Trent Croad!!!!

Forgot about him. Now I have to rethink again.

Tough question, but off the top of my head... Matthew Lloyd.

 

[ArdenSt]

Jeff White or Mark Mercuri

 

[jod23]

The Eagles are in the same boat as Adelaide and desperatly need a CHF and who better than Kouta!!!

All the way with Kouta wouldnt be a bad spine then with Cummings Kouta Kemp Jakovich McIntosh.

 

[Westy Boy]

I'll have a James-Wayne-Trent-Lance KoutaHay-McLeod-HaslePavlich-Graham-opoulos to go thanks.... actually... better make that two.

Now..... just to figure out where we're gonna play him...

 

[Bloodstained Angel]

Drakey

Goodes ?
O'Loughlin ?

It is Xmas after all and all good children deserve the very best ...

 

[GoEagles]

My top 3 for the eagles would be:

1) Kouta (naturally)
2) Jeff Farmer
3) Dustin Fletcher

 

[Magpie-Fletch]

1) Justin Leppitch
2) Peter Everitt
3) Adam Goodes

Three quality players who also address our needs perfectly.

 

[Grendel]

I hear you Pess, a return to form of 99 for Crawf will do nicely. Also Rehn to be the ruckman he was would just top things of well.

I guess if it was carte blanche then Hird,Carey,Kouta etc. Only trouble is all of them are in their late twenties. So my go would be Voss. Thats M.Voss not his saint bound brother.

 

[Drakey]

You guys are greedy.

Santa only gave you 1 player for x-mas.

Bitch I don't mean any harm to Kouta because I'm sure he's a lovely guy and all...but I think you will find he is *** . He used to have a girlfriend but he dumped her recently and it was all just for show anyway. That's what I heard at least...

P.S. No offence to Kouta or anyone because he's a great player and as a Blues gal myself he's my fave.
