And yet they still took him number one in the draft, so are you saying they
stuffed up because i seem to remember a Brownlow Medal being won in
2008 which would also mean the umpires also misjudged his character
as well. Maybe they got rid of Coons because his knee was stuffed, maybe
they orchestrated the Griffen trade because his back was shagged. I am
just glad Tom Liberatore is still there it fills me with ecstasy, cough,cough,
double standard, cough, cough.
Fascinating stream of consciousness, but I think you've taken away the wrong impression entirely.

I didn't imply that Cooney was a bad off-field influence, I stated outright that he was a lazy trainer and given the prodigiously talented Stringer looks up to him, we don't want that example around the club. Off the field, they can live in each other's pockets if they want.

Libba has nothing to do with it. If he's still pinging, he's doing it like a ******* champion, because he's one of the players that set the standards at training, rather than barely meeting them.

I know what you are getting at and the point you were making, i was just
taking the piss on the fact that football supporters normally don't have an
insight into what a man does in his spare time unless he gets arrested for
being a serial killer or something. The whole Ben Cousins thing is a good
illustration of this point, he never tested positive and i was happy to
support him without knowing or even suspecting what was going on
behind the scenes.

I think all but Hooker are contracted, but can become free agents if they want.

Hurley would be the perfect player to add to our back six. Would love to know if we're going for him.
Yeah Hurley is probably one of the top 5 players in the comp that we do need.

Can shut down his man but also an excellent intercept marker, contribute to rebound style and also has great movement.

Who do want to come club via trade at the end season or we don't bring anyone in ? Given Likely to be following player not playing Minsion,Morris's ,Matt Boyd some these player will retire at season end.
Hurley/Hooker have to be targets, IMO.

But which Ruckman? That is the question. Will be interesting watching rucks from other teams to identify IF there are any candidates. So far, the cupboard is bare.

I know this is the LM thread, but let's not all judge what we need just yet. We have a young group that will continue to improve, we have selected some bigger bodies in the draft to help complement those already on the list. Let's pause the discussion until it becomes clearer what we do actually need.

Having said that, I think a ruckman is probably going to be needed.....
