Ryan O'Keefe

[CharlieG]

He's killing me. Seriously... he shouldn't be allowed within 50m of goal. Irresponsible, silly footballer.

[Nuts4Bolts]

Can you send him to Windy Hill then please.

Can you send him to Windy Hill then please.

If I were managing the list I'd be interested in hearing offers. What would you give in return?

 

[Nuts4Bolts]

Who would you want, within reason? We should of swapped Richards for O'keffe.

Come on Charlie, you know O'Keefe is one of my favourites He is a tryer, runs all day, presents all day. Ok he blazes, (i'm not sure what incident you're referring to either) but he still has a terrific kick on him. Would walk into any other club.

Taking into account his ability (currently not being consistently fulfilled, but well proven) I would think that O'Keefe is worth Kepler Bradley and a top thirty draft pick, at a guess.

My frustration with O'Keefe is that he's only a top 100-150 player in the league... if he would just engage his brain on a regular basis he'd be top 50.

Paul Chambers does all of the above.

Means nothing if he wastes more opportunities than he creates (which is the case at the moment).

Would walk into any other club.

No, he'd saunter into any other club. That's more in keeping with his blase surfer-boy attitude.

 

[stellation]

I'm with you Charlie, ROK is really getting on my nerves of late. PASS THE BALL RYAN, PASS THE BALL! Pingaway O'Keefe is proving rather damaging to our forward line.

 

[grimlock]

Let him take the kick-ins, then he'll have to learn how to kick!

 

[Jeremias]

o'keefe is a very good player. i would love him to play for carlton. what would u want from us for him?

Bring back Saddo!

If we can't have him, Marc Murphy would be nice

 

[Jeremias]

you want saddo for okeefe? i would do that but we need saddo as an experienced defender.

you can have murph on one condition. give us craig bolton and leo barry

 

[Ed_Gein]

Never liked Saddington.... as a defender anyway.

This is the point isn't it? [Tho I question whether he'd make it as high as 100 - that would put him in the top 6 players for all clubs - I doubt he's that even for the Swans] But you get the feeling he could certainly be top 50 material. And he's such a critical player for the Swans, every bit as important as Kennelly.

Personally I don't think it's lack of effort, I rather suspect it's lack of confidence. whatever it is I hope he resolves it soon.

You've had him on your transfer list for a while haven't you Charlie.

Were you one of the luminaries on RWO who would have transferred Goodes 2/3 years ago?

 

[nico]

Can you send him to Windy Hill then please.

Correct Nuts. Every other club would have him at a pinch.

Tell you what though how about we pay you lot to take Mathews off our hands.

Kepler Bradley, you jest.

If he is 100-150 in the comp and you think he is dumb, and Leo Barry is top 50 who would win the IQ test. I know who I would have my money on.

How quickly some people jump off. I seem to recall a BOG in the Preliminary Final in 2005. Took a bit of concussion into the GF.

He is not playing that bad. He misses no less than Nick Riewolt.

Yes, but he did a lot of his good work up the ground. Thankfully, he kicked straight as well (2.0). However, he misses far too many. He's unreliable up forward, and at the moment we can't afford such poor efforts.

He is not playing that bad. He misses no less than Nick Riewolt.

If I were a Saints fan I'd be p'ed off with Riewoldt as well.

You seem a little worked up tonight.

I had Goodes as *potential* trade bait in early 2002, when he was playing crap football and his reputation far exceeded his performances. He came good by the end of the year and I was very happy to be wrong.

If you think that O'Keefe is a similar case you've got rocks in your head (pardon the pun).
