Stanton - Pick 6 ?

[Sublime]

Subby remember your a sick puppy these things dont get to you ok

Oh yeah... Better grab my cleaver huh?

The bumbers are shopping Stanton around I reckon this guy is an elite mid who was slightly down on output this year. At Carlton he would run free and with a massive engine and probably 170 + games left in him I think he would be a great get.

Sorry fella but that's got to be the single stupidest suggestion so far for the 'silly season'. If i had false teeth they would've been impaled in some poor b@stards neck such was my involuntary convulsive reaction to this thread's headline.

If there is one truth in football, its that you cant TEACH ball skills
You either have it as a kid or not and Stanton cannot kick the football on EITHER side
Why would we want a guy who can get the prune but cant get it to anyone! we had enough turnovers this year without this hack

Pick 6 for stanton and I would be stoked. He's not as bad as alot are making out though... probably around pick 13-19 would be fair methinks.

Carlton should give up pick 6 for Stanton and Essendon's Pick 5.

That's a fair trade.

only way we will possibly get stanton

 

[walga]

No to Stanton, we need a good CHF and rucks. I think we have sufficent midfielders

 

[HereComesTheTruth]

If we forget about stanton being a pick 6 and the fact he's a hack for just a minute....

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME STANTON PLAYED AT CENTRE HALF FORWARD? or tore a game apart with a couple of big contested marks inside 50 in the last quarter?

Pick 6 is our last realist chance to pick up a quality KKP...why would we waste it on another midget

Not as cool as Beamsy

 

[Barry Zuckercorn]

Yes!!!!!!!!

U do realise that pick 6 isn't all that flash hot ... apart from Salopek the rest stink so if history is any guide then I have a feeling we need to consider Essendons number 1 mid who is only 22.

I think we should decline our pick 6 when our turn comes up cause were guaranteed to pick up a spud.

Would Selwood have turned out a dud if he was picked at 6 instead of 7?

 

[Brenno]

where do i sign?

Quite clearly yes.

Just in regards to the OP... People always complain about the players who 'run free' in every team. The outside receiver types always cop flack round here on BF. Stevens and Houlihan to name a couple from Carlton. Travis Johnstone cops it, as does Stanton at times. The last thing i want to hear is people complaining about another 'soft' outside player at Carlton, its bad enough as it is.

Every team needs their 'soft' running players because if everyone dived onto the hard ball we'd have no one to give it to.

I agree with what you are saying in terms of outside players and everyone needing them... that is why I am suggesting we consider him.

I'm saying i couldn't deal with people whinging about another soft player round here. I'd end up going crazy with even more stupid comments flying around.
