J-Pod

[Purple Suit]

I don't mind get Pod's, as long as we get another young KPP with our first pick. We can't be sitting here next year begging Pav to play on and nothing in the cupboard. Unless we already have Cameron signed up on a 12 year deal for 15 million.

 

[PapaJ]

I still don't no either.

Sure, none of the options currently on the table are absolute winners lets face it.

In the end of the day, the only thing where you're going to get general agreement is stuff which is simply not going to happen or we've already missed out on - Cloke, Cameron, Hogan or this years No.1 or 2 pick etc.. So it's then just a matter of contested opinion whether what sort of left-overs we go for if we go for the left-overs at all.

Now he is like an old boyfriend. You aren't sure if you want him, but now that another chick (Carlton) has taken an interest in him, nobody else can have him!!!

I'll be so disappointed if we dont get him he's already my favourite play for next year!

I've already turned my Stephen O'Reilly badge in to him

Unless they can turn some nifty trading into the #1 pick where we get Tom Boyd, the J-Pod option is the best short term bandaid. No trading required, just negotiation with the man himself. Bondy can do this.

Of course, I'm sure nifty trading for #1 pick + J-Pod would also be acceptable folks

Can we wrap Joel Corey into the deal in a player development role before somebody else snaps him up?

Didn't he just retire?

 

[Wigarus]

Pretty sure he means a non playing player development role.

Like a coach or sommat.

It's a good idea. We should also look at Nigel Smart. Highly rated, although I don't think we're looking to add to our coaches team.

Yes not likely I think Freo have a full compliment of coaching staff.

Nigel Smart? Why do we need a COO?

You mean Lappin

We don't need blood J-Pod he's not even that good!

We sure as hell need someone or someones. At least Pods is proven, can take a contested grab, is a good kick and is a genuine forward, which is a huge step up on our present position.

I just don't understand why we are making so many changes to our side if this side got us to the granny this year. I do understand why we are picking up Free Agents such as Colin Sylvia but I strongly believe we should not be trading our Grand Final players for someone from another 17 sides...

besides two words: he's old

What grand final players are we trading out? I haven't heard of any other then the speculated deal for GWS first pick .

 

[Stazzaz]

He has already been kicked out of Geelong so why should we take him in he is like a new game you play with it until it gets boring then go put it in the second hand box so other people pick it up and do the same thing as the former owner we should learn and just trust that Geelongs coach Chris Scott has thrown him away for a reason and not bring him in to the FFC.

He will fill a hole for a year or two. Many of the young guys we pick up never play a game let alone two seasons.

He has been kicked out, because unlike us, they already have his replacement ready to come through: Kersten.

I haven't said I have heard that I just think we are going a bit too far with this trading thing... I understand we can trade out someone like Viv Michie as much as I don't want him to go and maybe just maybe Silvani because he is a great player but we have just already got players there for that role and they are playing it just a tiny bt better than Silvani and that is the same thing with viv I just think viv should leave for his own sake Viv is like a mini Fyfe and Silvani is like a mini McPharlin yet I just think Silvani should stay because sadly enough mcpharlin is getting old and we need someone to take his spot we he leaves the club and retires so Silvani should stay and about Viv I think If he wants to take HIS career to the next level leave if he wants to wait a handful of years only getting a few games until one midfielder such as Mundy leaves the club but Viv could be delisted by then.

Kersten, that name sounds familiar.
Who did we pick up instead of him?

We have heaps of young KPF in line Jack Hannath if you want a tall guy and Crozier if you just want a Mid/Forward type guy

Young fella - take a deep breath and PUNCTUATE! It will make reading your posts possible.

all true, but we are just trying to improve our best 22 and the quality in our depth. We have structural problems that need to be addressed now and we will draft to try and fix them for the future. Will be interested to see how it all pans out.

Like I said, JPod is a genuine forward. Hannath is a ruck who can go forward. Crozier is brilliant but he is a half forward, high half forward type. Neither fill the hole we currently have.
