we cant simply afford to throw the baby out with the bath water
we need to re jig our list due to poor selections, development and just plain bad luck which of course is typical of our lot
simply put my belief is the following 7 things have really stuffed us,now 1, 2 or even 3 or 4 but 7 fmd, they are
1 gault not comming on after a huge investment
2 the big show a perfect body shape fit and the physical tools to succed in todays game with PRESENCE
3 swanny the ONLY GUY we could bank on to consistently beat his opponent 1 on 1 with PRESENCE
4 clokes fall of the cliff, prior had presence
5 jamies backhas presence
6 reids decline prior had presence
7 dawes broken knuckle huge imput into our last flag, placed too much pressure on cloke, key player underrated
please note all are forwards and all would be top 22
a forward line comprising the following looks damn good
elliot cloke swan
abbott dawes fasolo
moore could then develop on a wing or in the VFL alongside Cox
Now all i hear is BUCKS is this and that ,fuelled by a rampant media (vultures) and predicatably endorsed by fools , trade pendels ,sidey ,sack eddie,sack hine fair dinkum what are you guys on, you do realise that we have never recieved a fair rub of the green , would have 10 more wins over 2 years sedated your HATE and your calls for CHANGE, because thats what's happened and some perspective is required.
off the list imo are obvious
oxley,blair,goldy,sinclair,sier,keefe,schade
trades
aish,broomhead,sharanburg ,reid
incomming
brown f/s,alir,cox thomas
rookie
swan ,sier keefe
get lever or casbolt
i love this team then
adams alir dunne
howe varco lever
AT wills wells
fasolo moore elliot
pendels swan kirby
grundy maynard greenwood
this team wins most weeks with swan or kirby deep deep deep, levi tagging, lots of flexability and plenty of hard heads, presently its levi ,adams ,maynard and a bit of pep from Grundy adding lever wills,kirby and swan gives us PRESENCE
NOTE only2 new players and 1 champion returns
TOP 4 beckons
easily done
ben reid and 3rd round to sydney for alir alir and second
broomhead,aish,sharenberg ( he wont make it )and pick 4 for lever and pick 2
heaps of cap space then for Lynch,wright, cameron , who knows
11 changes from current list
2/3 from other clubs in trades
2/3 rookie upgrades then hit the draft and look at speed
I feel though we could lose Grundy and others if Bucks Goes and he just might be for Lever
if so Cox goes in as First Ruck and Always will give us first use anyway, so( i dont want him to go but) IF the price is right?
WE AINT FAR AWAY BOYS
