Can’t work out the Dicko re-signing, will struggle to play 5-10 games next year imo.

It’d be presence around the club more than anything else. Too many mature blokes leave at once and the culture takes a hit.

 

[grassman75]

Wonder if something like this eventuates, probably a few picks involved to even things out better but

Gold Coast - Jake Lloyd
Collingwood - Steven May
Sydney - Darcy Moore

Sydney get shafted there.

Can’t work out the Dicko re-signing, will struggle to play 5-10 games next year imo.

Whilst his form trend isn't great, he is still only 31, wouldn't be on big money, is one of very few natural forwards on the list and brings much needed experience.

As long as our medicos think he's a fair chance of getting his body right, he's best 22, low cost and clearly worth a list spot for mine.

Rather 5-10 games from Dickson than another season of Smith

Roarke hasn't impressed as much as any of the other young players this season, but that being said he certainly wasn't bad. Certainly looked like he's getting more comfortable.

My biggest issue is the huge amount of depth we already have at that offensive backline position; JJ, Richards, Suckling, Crozier, Hunter, Williams, Caleb's been moved there, Lynch...And we've already seen all of those guys up forward at times because of the excess we have. So yeah, I don't think Roarke is bad, but is he going to be good enough to justify keeping him on when we have needs elsewhere and are already stacked at his position? Dunno.

Williams looks set for the midfield. And I'd suggest hunter would move back to a wing as possible with JJ. Suckling is nearly done and Richards's I'm a big fan of forward of the ball, will clean up our entries nicely. In saying all that smith is still depth

He's just not quick enough. It can't be hidden.

He's never going to get a game ahead of Crozier, JJ, Richards or even Lynch for that reason.

It's the same reason Roberts and Collins never got games.

JJ, Crozier and Suckling the only clear backs there for mine and Suckling hasn’t got long left. Richards, Hunter and Daniel will float through at times but aren’t backman and it appears Williams is earmarked for a possible midfield role.

At worst he’s cheap depth on a nothing contract, and can play a role in the team. He’s missed years of footy with injury so he isn’t done developing. With the expected high turnover of the senior list, I don’t have an issue with keeping him on for another year to see if he can continue to grow.

Where did this Jake LLoyd to Gold Coast thing come from? I've seen it posted a few times but can't understand the reasoning behind it.

Getting a crap offer from the swans apparently

 

[JJHunter]

I heard a rumour that there's interest in Taylor Duryea.

I cannot fulfill my burden of proof and therefore it would be illogical for you to believe me but I want to have this here so I can flex when it eventuates.

Oh god NO !

 

[who_let_the_dogs_out]

Apparantly hes set to join Collingwood

That'll just about do it for the suns. Will have to send the keys back to the AFL.

 

[JJHunter]

In the end 4 out of 10, 2 out of 10, is just their opinion. ****wits the both of them.
If someone can remind them that our "irrelevant" club beat Essendon and North and checking the finals schedule, none of us are playing next week anyway.

If you rate our year anything more than 4/10 you are kidding yourself !

Don’t be so touchy to criticism !
We need to look hard in the mirror to improve.

We aren’t irrelevant - but that’s just Barrett - most non bulldogs would ha e the same if not harder judgement on us

 

[VogonProsthetnic]

He won't be the last. Still a long way to go for Buddys $1 mill a year 9 year contract payments.

 

[Zephiisdaman]

Jack Hombsch, is he good and would he add anything to our side? I see port are offering him around and would be cheap. Can play tall and small from different bios I've read about him.

I actually like Hombsch. He has a nice bit of campaigner in him also.

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

Sydney get shafted there.

That’s why I said licks would be involved, but if I’m honest, I think GC comes out of it worst if it was just players.

Players? You mean more than just Dahl?

I'm waiting for something to happen no finals makes for a very boring time. Going to be a long off season

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

Waiting for a better deal than is being offered plus has a connection with Stewy Dew doing his apprenticeship at the swans.

Hunch or inside info?

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

Doubt Dahl news comes out. He’s going to the cats but they’re in finals. Probably won’t hear anything official on the Dahl front until geelong are out of contention I reckon. Same goes for Roughy and wherever he’s headed. Possibly an announcement from a club that both are exploring free agency.

Afl site that dickson will sign a one year extension

 

[Yojimbo]

Was obviously taking the piss out of the "we need leg speed" camp.

Is there a leg speed camp ? I bought some fast twitch fibres on E-Bay and they sent me a bag of pubes.
