Go Ricky Go Ricky....

[Rooboy 96]

from all accounts he is progressing very well... as are all our recruits... here's crossing our fingers anyway... so did anyone get out to the game... if so a report would be good...

If Ricky can stay fit, then you'd have to say that Clayton is in danger of permanently losing his place in the team. Clayton has pace, but not the delivery skills. Ricky, HAD pace (we hope he can get it back), but he's able to deliver the ball with precision, and it's going to be precise delivery that will be required to make the most of Sav's leads.

One of the Essendon regulars is a pal of Ricky and he says that Ricky is on course to make it through the Ansett Cup and into our side for round 1 of the season.

Yeah, the INs and OUTs look to be in our favour and I'm starting to feel too optimistic for my own good. So, to get our feet back on the ground....

Motlop, Smith, Harris...all kids and will need at least a year to find their feet in the big league.

Sav. As Joffa posted on the main board, don't get too excited just yet. The Pies fans have seen it all before.

Ricky. I really do hope he does well for us. For all his injuries, he deserves some luck going his way. Don't even take him one game at a time....just one session will do.

McLaren and Sinclair. Actually, I'm very optimistic about these two with only a few minor reservations. I'm sure that Sinclair can do for us what Powell did over at Melbourne or Cameron at Richmond. McLaren will be very good for us....he has good delivery skills and can play anywhere along the flanks.

Don't forget Stevens and COlbert

You're not helping here....I'm trying to get pessimistic....okay????

And Corey back to his 96 best, and the improvement in the likes of Adam Lange..

Hang on a minute guys.... it's February, time to remind us all to keep our feet on the ground - every other club is in a similiar position to us - confident of a good season.

The recruiting was crap in 1999!

What did we give away for Colbert?

[croode]

Our first five draft picks plus Mooney plus Welsh plus give Calthorpe a home.
Now lets see how that formula works.

 

[Spidergirl~RiCkChiCk]

ok ok i will try keep a lid on it but its very hard after wearing his number 8 all year waiting and waiting for him to return for the Pies but he never did so now its gonna be wicked if he can stay injury-free and we can finally see him play the good footy that we know he is capable of!

So what is the new LOOK Rooboy96, does he LOOK like he will go after the ball this year, does he LOOK like he will kick a goal this year, does he LOOK like he has got his feet back on the ground after 1999, and does he LOOK like he has stopped eating those creamed jam donuts, or are you going to tell me he has just had a hair cut or something. I love Shannon but he really did frustrate me last year and if he doesnt have a better year this season then he will have trouble getting a game each week.
