Makepeace

[Schwatta]

No way.

1) He will be picked in the ND, most probably by the Kangaroos

2)Why do we need him? Would you prefer him over Fev, Waite, Fish, Kennedy? Or Lance? And he certainly wouldn't fit AS WELL as those guys.

WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!

kangas delisted him as laidley the moron didnt like him and he decided to play under performing players in the back line over makey. we wont redraft makey that is laughable, we have an abundance of small defenders who are under 23yrs so that is the direction laidley is going. putting his faith into players who may never be up to it.

Makey would fit into your defence very nicely, hes couragous in marking contests, helps his fellow defenders, has great skills. he just lacks a bit of accountability due to him zoning off his opponent and rebounding with runs out of defence and even the odd goal from 50. this is a type of player that would mix in really well with your youngsters. he also played his best footy under pagan. laidley has always changed the way he plays as he does with all our players hence their confusion on the field this year.


Would you prefer him over Fev, Waite, Fish, Kennedy? Or Lance?

What a stupid comment/question. as if makepeace would keep those 5 players out of your team or replace them in their positions LOL. those 5 players would be in your clubs top 10 and im sure makey would easily be in the next 12 best IMO. I hope (but know) makey will find a new home as he has 4 or 5 yrs still in him and he plays for his team with full efforts. picking him up with your pick in the psd is ideal as you get a ready made player who can play a role and you dont use any of your nd picks so you can mostly concentrate on youth. one mature aged player wont throw your youth plan out the window itll make it better as it gives your youth time to develop instead of throwing them in straight away when they arent ready like hawthorn do.

READ THE THREAD BEFORE CALLING IT CRAP!!

They weren't talking about makepeace in either case. nobody is saying makepeace over Fev, waite etc. who compares backs to forwards like that. read the post properly before attacking it.

btw they were tslking about edwards

I think we should pick Makepeace up with our very final pick in the National Draft and use our pick 1 in the PSD on a ruckman or KPP like Brooks or Gaspar for example. Makepeace has always been a player that I like to watch. He's good overhead, strong in the contests, has sufficient pace and can zone off and kick big 50 metre long goals. I think that he is similar to Wirrpanda at the Weagles. I bet all North supporters would remember that winning goal that he kicked on the run 50 out to snare a slinder 2 or 3 point or whatever the margin was victory over Port Adelaide at Manuka Oval I think. While either Brooks or Keating or worse - C.Cloke could really help out our ruck stocks and in the KP big man department - with others such as Leuenberger (hopefully!!!), McLaren, Deluca, Bryan, the developing A.O'hAilpin, and Batson (if retained).

Might wanna read the post before you embarrass yourself .

This whole AFL youth culture is getting out of hand when we start throwing footballers on the scrap heap at 27.

Makepeace is no star, in fact give him a couple of games in the Navy Blue and we will be complaining that he is just another Longmuir, Chambers, etc etc.

The embarassing thing is the state of your club. Administration level are fighting amoungst themselves, your list due to cheating, your players not wanting to play for the club and financial state of the club which has now come from a powerhouse down to the broke clubs like the dogs and the roos. paying off a legends stand that doesnt get used is pretty embarrassing.

Maybe the roos should give you guys the gold coast contract as a relocation may help you guys out. good luck pagan youll need it as you are the scape goat for the clubs stupid decisions prior to your arrival.

If you take Lance out, our backline's average age is going to be 20-21.

It's everyone's answer to just throw these kids to the wolves, it wouldn't hurt to have a pacey, wiser and experienced head down there. Christ there where people listing 'Nathan Brown' in their best 22 for next year...

Dude you already looked like an idiot with that rant, now you're confirming it. Just let it be.

Maybe we should burn down the stand for insurance... Is shinboner spirit an accelerant?

Take your bucket and spade and head north young man - your team is.

Makepece is a far better footballer than Tegue nd he won a B&F at Carlton.

We should be trying hard at Brisbane younsters a few pending , Hadely, Brenman, McGrath.
Any of these would be a great turnaround after a dull trade week and a positive assest to the team. Does any one have info on any of these guys?
Ciao

Agree, with McGrath the most likely, we need another small forward to join Eddie.

McGrath can mark overhead & crumb ,eddie is really only a crumber.

 

[prouyt78]

makepeace would be good for the backline has some class and at 27 should have 4 to 5 years left could fit right in to a back pockett/half back flank and let lappin play as a crumbing forward along with betts

 

[Silvagnis]

Again, why was he cut by the god awful Kangaroos?

See Chambers, Longmuir, Saddington, Mott, etc, etc, etc and please think again.

It's the first year we haven't traded for a hasbeen and you're wanting to draft one!

 

[WalkerTexasRanger]

In principle we need another ruck and Brooks was touted as a youngster, but he's been at two clubs already and not really set the world on fire and cemented a spot in the seniors.

The irony is that if he had 'set the world on fire' he wouldn't be an option available to us.... How tall is he?
