Freo given a huge boost...

...with the news that Trent Croad may be dropped


Seriously though, this has been a long time coming. If Croad fails to impress in the WAFL, what odds that he gets offloaded back to melbourne to free up salary cap room for the rest of the squad (a finals appearance will undoubtedly raise the players market values).

No surprise there really 4 eyes.
Croad has really worn my patience a bit thin. Even so much so , My freind who purchased a Croad autogragh jumper last year has put it in the cellar from all the constant abuse he gets.

Don't come in here trolling just because the wheels are falling of over there.

4 Eyes Id post this in the WCE forum but I cant But I saw Chris Judd walking his dog today , wearing a beanie , dark sunnies and a Melbourne tracksuit ..... something in the wind I suspect. This is not a troll.

About time too.
I mean realistically this guy should have been droped ages ago.
And you think about it with Carr,Simmonds and Woods set to return who will make way?
Orge has well and truely earned his places so hes set as is Schammer.
My tip would be Croad,Thorton (useless this guy) and siegurt (see comment about thorton) out.

Yep, Thornton is useless... I mean he only had 2 good games for us out of 3 this season, and he hasn't only played 4 AFL games all up or anything. What a crab... delist him now.

And yep, Siegert played last week so we will drop him. Great idea, that one. We may as well delist him as well.

And thanks for that info D4E.... nice to see you keeping up to date with the latest Freo news.

Anyway, Croad should be dropped and play in the WAFL... it might give him some confidence back. He has struggled at CHF for us this season. Last season, he was pretty good playing out of the goalsquare but with Longmuir playing there now, Croad will need to find another position where he can contribute for us.

I'm not 100% sure he will be dropped though. He is good in the wet weather and there is the forecast for rain.

Ah yes sarcasim..awesome..
Who would you drop then?
I mean Carr,Simmonds and Woods are in our top 22 so who should make way?
Siegurt has been useless in all games he has played this season.
Thornton has never showed anything

I don't know which Fremantle you were watching last week Sabre but Siegert wasn't playing. And regardless, do you think he was usless against Geelong? I mean, it wasn't Siegert that kept one G. Ablett to only a handful of possesions.

Thornton was very good against PA keeping S. Burgoyne pretty quiet as well as the others that he was playing on. I forget who he matched up on against Geelong but he did a good job also. He kid is quick, provides run from half back and has a decent kick. So he struggled against Pike... that happens to the best defenders going around. And yes, I would still drop him, but he has shown he could be a player in the future. The kid is 19, give him a break.

I would drop Webster, Thornton and Croad. If it is forecast for rain, I would be tempted to keep Croad in the side.

Surprisingly, Croad getting dropped seems to be the #1 AFL story here in Victoria

And I couldn't resist such a creative thread title (I'm so proud)

Here's a tip D4E.

Blowing your own trumpet about your thread title immediately drops it's value in creativity, a bit like laughing at your own jokes, which you undoubtedly do.

Sabre, I don't know what you've got against Seigert and Thornton, but you really should get over it and show a bit of support for the youngsters, they've been handy fill-ins if you ask me, especially Seigert, who laid a game saving tackle on Wojinski? as well as playing a pretty good game against Geelong.

Your credibility kind of falls off the perch when your wanting to drop players who were'nt even in the team the week before.

Here's a tip BP.

The big smiley face next to the sentence indicates it was meant in a lighthearted manner and not to be taken seriously. Criticising such a sentence immediately indicates your level of intelligence.

Get off the grass, you're proud of your little joke, and when no one made any comments about it, yoy started blowing your own trumpet. Your "big smiley face" means jack, you can't help giving yourself a pat on the back.
You are a nerd.

Only when they're up themselves, like this d4e poindexter fella.

I've got this image of him.....cokebottle glasses, pimples, cardigan draped around his shoulders and guffawing at his own jokes, while eating meat paste sandwiches.

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

This is just plain sad. Being abused about my appearance by people who have never seen me. Maybe you would also like to give me some pointers on my fashion sense? Or some diet tips?

Is this another one of your jokes?

I've seen you. You're very neat.
