I think it would be tough to trade for him. Buckley loves Dick.

Dick's a hard one, just the sort of slippery customer we have trouble with. You know that if Dick gets a few touches early he could explode.

The best thing you can do is to try to suck Dick up the ground and get him away from the goals.
Ha ha just ha ha:D...and Crow Mo what are you thinking? You want us to get Dick from Collingwood?? Not content with the shaftings we've been given by them of late?

If Milera and Roach develop the way we hope problem solved.
Roland Ah Chee could be available with Gold Coast having an abundance of talented kids.

I'd have him any day of the week, assuming we didn't sell the farm to get him. He's exactly the type of player we need.
C'mon Stabby, I was trying to make a pun....badly it seems. And I just cant bring myself to say that I'd want to get Dick from Collingwood. However, the player by that name would be very welcome to our team.

Gah, I suck :eek:

My defense: Got up at 3AM to go to the Dawn service out in Eudunda. I'm too tired to recognise puns. In my sleep-deprived haze I'm seeing Dicks everywhere :eek:

EDIT:.....I see what you did there in your first line.:D

You're right there, I certainly don't agree.

No offence to Phillips, but we don't need anymore depth players, what we want are genuinely talented natural footballers. Someone who is quick, has flair and reads the play well. Someone mentioned Brandon Matera earlier, he is exactly the type of player we want.
you think he doesn't have any of that?
ok..

I pray to God that Milera can develop into this player.
I must have missed that. He was the first player to come to mind after reading the OP. This guy is sensational. If only...

mosquito fleet?
be nice to get some players with leg speed that can bring the ball through the centre of the ground and supply the forwards with chest passes.
Dangerfield proved against Freo and Johncock against Carlton what leg speed through the middle can achieve. But we just seem to prefer playing "pass the ball to the wings" until we screw it up and it ends up as another goal to the opposition.

I really think Jaench will be a real player for us, has speed and is willing to take the game on. He did some very nice things for us against Carlton, especially when taking the ball in the middle then backing himself to nail a goal from 60.

He's played 12 games for us. We have so many of these sort of players sub-40 games that we really don't know how they're going to end up once they hit their prime. We have a few clues but we're not certain yet.

Give them time, we have talent all over the ground, our forward line is covered for the next decade. Hope we hit our straps this year, this is the most exciting AFC lineup I've ever seen, I've been supporting us for over a decade now. Also the youngest lineup we have ever had!
