James Gallagher

[J.Gallagher #1]

He was our best player in the first half and from wat i saw didnt even get on the ground in the second half is it just me or does Gary Ayres not like him or sumthin coz i dont think he gets as much of a run as he deserves??

I didn't think he stood out that much early on. I was surprised he was so high up on the disposal count when they showed the stats during the first and second quarters. He still isn't very damaging with his disposal.

He was too soft. He didn't got at the ball hard enought. Used it OK I thought.

I'm not a James Gallagher fan, but I did think he was having a reasonably good game. I was amazed with his lack of game time.

He was probably a bit stiff not to get more game time. With Bickley retiring would he be a trade bait??????

I don't see any point trading Gallagher as I don't think we has much trade value at the moment. We might just be trading away a good player for not much in return.

Unless of course he plays some good games this season and his worth goes up in the eyes of other clubs.

He'll come good. Neil Craig seems to think there is something special about him.

That's what I mean though. Right now he doesn't have much trade value. No point him coming good at another club! (Like say, Shannon Cochrane at the moment)

well i was thinkin not only in this last game but in most games when he gets a run he gets the ball but it seems that ayres doesnt give him enough game time and i think that he would probly take the role of Bickley when Bickley retires just my thought.

You mean Stuart Coachrane

Someone has to go in order to get some quality youngters onto our list and adress our needs at the same time

No one is doubting his ball getting ability but so far this year he has burnt the ball beyond belief. If he had half the guts and courage that Bickley does, he would be one of Ayersy's favourites. Look at Mattner, he has bugger all skill and footy smarts but he has toughness and that why he is in the side.

Errr yeah, Stuart Cochrane. I guess I just had his Christian name confused with some of his former teammates... Grant, Watt, Motlop.

Well if he isnt successful at footy from what I seen on Saturday night he is a great dancer and know's how to pick up 'RED HOT' blonde chick's On a serious note he is a great bloke and very down to earth and knows how to relate with the supporter's all important in being a good footy player.He is developing into a very talented footy player now and will be an asset to the AFC in the future!!!!!!

Would you guys be happy if we got Lance Whitnall??????

 

[maccas_no1]

No to Lance Witnall but a 'big' yes to Camporale

We need KPP and ruckman. Midfielders are not on out priority list. We have a few of those.

Yes. He can hold down CHB and CHF and is still young-ish.

To state the obvious though, we aint gonna get him in a direct swap for Gags.

Wouldn't be a bad FB I think. Would he be worth more than latish 1st round pick??????

I think so. I reckon he's almost an untouchable as far as Carlton are concerned.

What about Trent Croad??????

Pass. If we were a Melbourne based club, maybe.

Thought so!!!!!! Is there any other good ypungish KPP capable of playing both ends that would possibly be up for trade??????

When you go for it you really go for top notch don't ya??????

Yes Leppitsch signed a 5 year deal last year.

Thinking more... I think Essendon were once considering trading Scott Lucas but they wouldn't be now... are we still a chance of luring Ben Holland? (we've been trying to get him for a while)...
