Richards??

[magpies42]

Does anyone have any idea about when stretch will be fit and playing!? His injury status is "test". Hopefully he'll play for williamstown or im affraid his career will be over before it started!

 

[Coin_Toss]

If Cameron Cloke and David Fanning continue to impress the selectors, I reckon there would be no room for Stretch in the side. Sad, but true!

 

[Jabso]

Once he gets back he needs to string 5 or more games in a row with Willy to be in contention.

 

[magpies42]

Yeah i think he is our best ruckmen but needs to prove he wont break down all teh bloody time, so yeah i think 5 games or so in willy orta do that. But is he fit to play this week?

 

[MarkT]

Richards might never be fot for more than a fortnight. The bloke just doesn't have a sound body. We have to assume he'll never play and build a ruck division accordingly and then if he does play it will be a bonus and one way or another give us a tradable ruckman. At present we have enough hacks to let go so we can carry him but unless he plays and does well in the next 18 months he has to be cut at the end of 2006.

Fanning's performance in the seniors in the next month will determine Richard's fate. If he continues to show dramatic improvement he has already shown (eg his game against the Eagles), Richards will be traded and replaced with an 18 year old draftee.

I'd give Hall as much time as possible in the ruck for Willy. Walker shouldnt ruck, he should play key position, where he is at least half a chance of making the grade.

For Willi?

For Collingwood. He has no chance as an AFL ruckman, but might yet make the grade at full back. Times running out for that too.

Agree.
I think we would get a late 2nd round pick for him.
There are few clubs who need a tall defender Blues, Aints, Norf (to replace Colbert), Bitchmond etc.

 

[hotpie]

Doubt we'd get better than a third rounder for him. We're in a dilemma with all our many tall "project players" at Willy, and four senior talls getting very late in their careers (Rocca Presti Wakelin and Clement to a lesser extent).

We have very few "middle aged" talls, Fraser being the only one and he's struggling with injury. Its either a matter of finding some 24 year old kpp's to replace the 21 year olds who wont make it, or holding on to our 21 year olds and hoping like hell they will come good.

[guess_who]

Hope to see the big man bag soon, so that C.cloke can be put in his place.

Totally unrelated but any way, I dislike C.Cloke because of the fact that he acts like he is a superstar on the field and he is a ********ing dud.

Any way, a friend of mine went to some social event, and confirmed my theory that not only are the clokes hated, especially cam cloke is an arrogant ******** head.

No way we would trade a second rounder for Walker.

We also have Perry whos playing very well at VFL level so we are covered for backman KPPs.

You could always move Corey and Sav back too.

Corey = dud

Happy?

Walker is not a complete dud, but I agree we should trade him.
There are clubs that would want him.

Not sure what we would get for him.
Maybe promote Fanning of the rookie list. I think he has far more potential than Walker
