Pav is key forward number 1 who is number 2?
Mayne is 3rd tall key forward.

We are 1 real forward away from top 2(does not need to be a great forward).
A ruckman trying to play forward just because he is tall doesnt cut it.
Whats needed is a guy who understands how to play as a forward.
So they dont lead into other forwards space, create space for other forwards, understand when to lead and crash packs etc etc.

With our current squad i can still see us making it close to the GF or maybe making it.
Throw in another real forward alongside Pav and im dreaming big.

I think we are currently 6 points and just under 1 percent away from top 2 - but I know what your saying.

However - having Pavlich and Walters back will be able to make a monumental difference to our attack potency to match and beat the current top 3 sides. Our forward line of Walters, Mayne, Balla and Pav will match it with anyone - having another tall on top of that mix will reduce our ability to pressure which is key to our current success.

It will be super nice too if Sandi can get back soon, so he and Zac could float deep forward at times :D

Yes I have heard of that this Pavlich Bloke, He wears number 29 for Freo. Can you please tell me when he will return from injury?

No, no I can't without any certainty at all.

But I am supremely confident that he is close, as is Walters, Sandi, Mora etc etc, and we will have a very potent forward structure for the finals.

Can you tell us when you will stop being a drama queen who is jumping at shadows and calling for every head on a stick that is "big" to join our club?
 
Kristian Jacksch might be another to chuck on the list.

Pick 12 or something for GWS. Has to contend with Cameron, Patton and possibly Franklin down there.

Has been kicking a few bags in the NEAFL (yeah, okay, its the NEAFL). 195cm forward.

Thought so.... I still stand by the fact Freo need another experienced forward. I suggested Shaun Mckernan and Jesse White. Did I say trade our 1st, 2nd and 3rd rounds for either? No

Im going to remind you again. It takes 3-4 seasons to develop a KPP just like Zac Clarke. Now Imagine if Pavlich and McPharlin retire at the end of 2014. Both will be 32 next season... You think about that?

For me Being a drama queen, Im far from it.

If anything your the one being the drama queen, Im not the one giving the pot shots.

*sigh*

Do you really, and honestly, think that the club is unaware of this situation?

My point is that you keep coming up with crabs, but other posters, (such as todays call on Mitch Thorp), are putting a bit of thought into it.

You are just trawling AFL clubs and coming up with names. And then wondering why people are scoffing at your suggestions.

But meh....continue.....it seems to be the norm around here of late.

99% of the time unless you finish around the bottom of the ladder will you have the chance of picking up a KPF who will become great.

When a club is in need for a KPF who is really good and finish around the top of the ladder you need to either trade heavily for him or find a a second tier KPF who can help compliment the forward line.

Yeah.

And what the f*** has that got to do with taking Jesse White or Kosi

I have never denied that we are in need of KPP's.

I just don't jump at every opportunity like some.

Well Geelong got Harry Taylor for their 1st round pick (17) in the 2007 draft.

I see what you mean though.

So there are dozens and dozens of great KPF's running around????Sorry JMT I must be failing this week's comprehension test.
Explain please.

Suma said they are being extremely cautious with Pav.

I reckon he'll return with about 4-5 weeks of the H&A season to go.

Pavlich, Sandilands and Walters to return to full training next week according to RTB. Obviously Walters can come straight back in but Pav and Sandi will clearly take time to be AFL ready.

Don't preach to me you f***en idiot.

And when did I say that he couldn't?

But condescending bullshit is not needed.

How in the hell are we beggars?

We have a war chest bigger than most, a great recruiting department, tradeable depth in our squad and opportunities that are beyond your comprehension.

Just relax a little, champ.

You are at it again. I looked at three different threads and you were arguing in an aggressive way in all three of them. Why does this always happen with you. I think you need to relax a bit.

BTW I wasn't being condescending I was just putting my opinion across. Anyway go on arguing with posters on here. You seem to enjoy it.

Personally we are doing fine without Sandi.

I am desperate seeing Tarberner getting a game.
