We're in trouble!!

[demonboy13]

We are in a bit of trouble when taking a look at our list!

we have 6 spots available on our list as we currently speak....places that were occupied by white, yze, neitz, holland, weetra, bode!

when you think about it, valenti and wonnaeamirri should both be promoted off the rookie list, leaving us with only 4 senior list positions available....

at best, even if carroll gets delisted somehow, we only have 5 positions....yet we have picks 1, 17, 19, 35, 51, 67, 83 and/or PSD #1

meaning we can add up to 8 players to our list.....8 talented young kids would be great, but we have no room for them!!!

Something needs to be done and it needs to be done NOW or we aren't gonna be able to draft the kids we neeed to!

 

[WeAreHatedAgain]

Every club has to have their lists trimmed to 35 by 31st of October

You will proably delist more players

 

[demonfan9]

Calm down mate.

Assuming Carroll goes, we'll have five spots. #1, #17, #19, #35 and either #51 or PSD. There is no guarantee that Valenti will get promoted anyway, so that might leave us with six picks.

And even if it doesn't, I don't want to see a player hastily sacked just so we can draft some skinny 17 year old kid at #83. Probability is he will last two years before he gets chopped anyway.

 

[bringbackschwarter5]

Valenti won't get promoted, i'd even say that Spencer would be a better chance to get elevated during next year

 

[Henry_Hill]

yeah valenti shouldn't be promoted i reckon. i'd rather take a chance with a pick.

 

[whelan=legend]

Carroll will go.

That is 7 free spots. Promote Wona.

6 free spots.

National Draft: 1, 17, 19, 35, 51

PSD: Pick 1

That's it.

 

[Dez!]

We should only use our first 5 picks in the draft, nothing more than that is needed.

Also use pick 1 in the PSD if something is available, wouldn't mind Tom Lonergan if he is out of contract.

Valenti is a dud and should be delisted.

Seriously Dez!! Don't we have enough duds on our list? Now you want another ******* like Lonergan!! No wonder why our club is f**ked!!

Are you for real ! He was one of a very few players this year to show that he can play.

Can't beleive the thinking of some of our supporters.

 

[The Bigporkknuckle]

Are you on crack!!!! Valenti will either be elevated or kept as a rookie. With the year we had he was by a long way not one of the worst players. And too see what he polled in the Liston of only a handful of games shows he can play. Obviously there is a step up but he will def be given the chance to show us whether he can take the step.

Are we better off delisting someone who has shown huge potential or pick someone up with late pick in the draft and just keep our fingers crossed.

If you are a true supporter comments like 'Valenti is a dud' help no one. He is still a kid so if he ever read that you would make him feel great. Constructive criticism is fine but yours my friend was far from constructive.

We mostly all agree that the club is in the shizen, but we have to look at the positives and look at moving forward. If you dont want to do that then bugger off the club does not need you as a supporter nor wants you as a supporter.

 

[Flashhh]

Dont 100% disagree with the opening post.

Six spots on the list, as the Carroll fiasco is far from a done deal, with Wonaeamirri surely in line for a promotion. Which leaves us with five spots, six National Draft Picks and a Pre-Season Draft Pick. My guess is that we will use 1, 17, 17, 35 and PSD Pick 1 (and ND Pick 51 if Carroll goes).

 

[Dez!]

Seriously Dez!! Don't we have enough duds on our list? Now you want another ******* like Lonergan!! No wonder why our club is f**ked!!

You are a dead set moron.

delisted? your a moron... valenti did awesome for a bloke off the rookie list... he averaged 17 touches and about 2 clangers for the year... go jump off the westy

Bit harsh Puckled, but then I woulden't mind giving him a push.

i get a bit ancy when idiots rag on shane... hes a a solid if not good first season and has every right to be on the senior list as wonna does...

Amen Brother AMEN, The last thing we need to do is kick a player who actually showed something down. He was very gutsy and along with Cale and Wona were a bright beacon.

 

[Wolfmother2]

I don't think either will be promoted.... With Robertson most likely out for ten rounds then one can be promoted to play round one whilst staying on the rookie list.... One might be promoted if there is nothing in the PSD

 

[Beats]

The problem for Valenti is that we have a plethora of players of similar types, all at what I consider to be around the same skill level.
Wona is playing in a position in which he does not have a whole lot of competition, added to that he has shown that his skill level/ability is currently better than anyone he will be competing with for that spot...
However with that said, I don't think he would be in our best 22 next year, and I fully expect Maric to overtake him very very quickly.

And I'd like to add, Cheney please gtfo, if you don't agree with the other posters on this board that's ok, but if all your going to do is slander other poster's/ our players without providing any justification(let alone reasonable jutification) then you are an absolute wristy.

i know someone pretty close to the sandy footy club and he said that valenti's old man is pretty pissed off melbourne and sandy have split and would rather see valenti play for sandy than the deez. also heard something about the warnock's as well

Valenti is a good reserves player but is not good enough to play AFL. Simple as that. This will be his last season on an AFL list.

I'll meet you there hero.. We'll see who would be 'jumping' off.

I agree on Valenti, he's too similar to many of our other midfielders, if we didn't have many in & under players then he'd probably get promoted, but we've already got plenty and he was playing this year while we were missing McLean & Moloney and Jones was in poor form, not all those thing should happen at once next year.

But i think Wona will be in our best 22. I don't see Maric playing a role the same as Wona, Wona is at the feet of our marking forward and he gets the opportunistic goals, where as Maric will create more of his own goals and play up the ground a bit more. Both will fit into our side, maybe not long term, but for next year at least.

Justify what? Do i need to state facts on every post do i? Gee i didn't realise this was a history class!! Players like Valenti, Jones, Dunn, Bartram, Bell, Jamar, PJ, Whelan.. They will never take us to a flag.. I seriously can't believe that people on here think that they will... This was the year to throw out alot of dead wood, but as usual we keep hanging on to these fringe players and never go anywhere. Keep hoping boys, coz we've just wasted another 10 years.

Cheney, You are a very negative supporter who has a potty mouth. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but for christ sake we are rebuilding a side. To crusify poor Valenti who is just a kid is outrageous, Jones, Dunn, Whelan all have there places as well.

If you have to hang it on someone, Carroll, Jamar and to a certain extent Sylvia deserve it more than them.

Is your glass half full or half empty ?

If Shane wins the Norm Smith in 2012, you will be proud.
