You really believe that?

So you know it is so, but the Nuffies at Collingwood still put the video up?

Really.

He is not going anywhere. (Please excuse him for saying he likes seeing family)

After watching todays game against Port, we need a backup ruckman as Cox cant be the first ruck if Grundy goes down. Maybe a Nicholls from the Suns.
Watching the disposal from defensive 50, l know dont mind the idea of going after Harbrow. The guy can actually hit targets coming off halfback.
The forward line with Reid and Moore is something to persist with, but we do require another natural forward, l wouldnt mind the idea of Darling coming in to fill that role.
Lever l still think we are in the box seat to get.
Off the list, players l would look at using in trades, or getting us into a better position in the draft would be Langdon, Cox, Fasolo (just to get him back to WA), Thomas, Aish and Sidebottom.

I correct my statement, Cox won't make it. No club will want him. We need an ACTUAL backup ruckman.
It takes our board on here too long to see he isn't a player.
What makes it even worse, our football department/coaches actually believe he can play.
Just because you have physical traits to play the game- doesn't mean you can actually play the game.
The only trait he has is height- that doesn't translate to being a footballer.
He's rubbish.

The exercise has been a complete waste of time and of resources. Hine is to blame here and to be honest Buckley too for actually thinking he would provide a better foil than a Travis Cloke.
It's these types of people making decisions as to why we will continue on this path of being royally screwed.
We need mass change.
Complete overhaul of the football department and recruiting team.
Hine and Buckley must go.

.
Has taken more contested marks this season than Travis Cloke and has played fewer games....

And interestingly Darcy Moore has taken more contested marks than Cloke, Redpath, Stringer, Crameri, Dickson and Boyd put together....

Why is everyone hypothetically willing to throw the kitchen sink at Lynch.
He is averaging just over 2 goals a game this year. Tommy Hawkins has kicked more than him as has Robbie Gray.
Seriously I would rather take our picks to the draft. At least that way we are not paying overs for trade and we are paying next to nothing initially in salary cap.
Lever first plus Shaz. Lynch all our best players plus our next 5 years first picks. Seriously there is some genuine over rating going on here.

If the right player came along I would trade Sidebottom.. but he is a seriously good player. So if it for Sidebottom and a pick I'd expect a great return.

It's an absolute pity I didn't play AFL because you'd all be saying trade Pendles to get me. Too busy subwoofering it down Chapel. Women booze forget it re. As a soccer player I was inconsistent BC of this. Now that I'm a lil older I realise my life has all.. been a shoowww. But f it.. wouldn't have it any other way mate.. that's it mate.

I agree it would need to be something good, the reason l put Sidebottom on the table was on the premise that we need to be bold this trade period. Not making finals for 4 years and with glaring deficiencies in the side, we need to bite the bullet.
Whether its a Sidebottom or another A grader, if we are able to obtain a key forward or back then that will solve a problem that will continue to stop us making finals if not rectified this trade period.

I don't believe a forward line with Fasolo and Elliot is efficient. I obviously believe we should retain Elliot, and put Fas on the table.
I would look at getting Fasolo back to WA for his own well being. The trade l would look at is getting Jack Darling.

Agreed. We have enough mids as it is.. and when you open up a spot in the side for another one to step up in place of Sidebottom there's always a surprise packet or someone on the periphery that normally does do well.

Sidebottom is a great player though. So if it is him and a pick I would expect a star in the making or star and a late pick or mediocre player in return.
