After seeing the game this year, we are still in need of a few pressies for our team from Santa.

First and foremost we need a key forward? Santa I wish we could get the big Pav from Fremantle and get Gibbo to have a year where he has no injury.

We also need a crumbing small forward who can kick goals? Santa is Jason Ackermanis available.

Santa we also need a ruckman who can compete with the quality rucks of the league. Can I have a fit Huddo, and an improved Meese and Maric.

Santa we also need some class midfielders and taggers. Can you please get Neil and the match committee to give Dougie, VB, Needles, Weekends and Pfeiffer an opportunity to press their claims in this area as well as one or two more midfielders being selected in th draft.

I hope I am not asking for too much Santa. I asked for a fairer father son rule last year and you gave me the grandfather/son rule. I have been a much better boy this year.

Well I don’t know what you’re expecting from Gibbo, because I seriously question whether he’ll be the answer to our lack of quality KPP. At this stage he’s very much an average player; I see that he recorded good results in the sprinting tests, but I don’t think he’s particularly quick. Maybe this indicates he’s not completely recovered from injury but then again I don’t think he’s ever been too quick. He occasionally takes an absolute hanger as he did last Saturday, but he’s not very consistent. He picks and chooses his contests, he should always, always lead up the ground and make an option across half forward but too often he just stays in the square. His main attribute is his vertical leap so to make the most of it he should come up the ground more than he is currently doing. He’s not a bad mark below his knees, although his kicking is rather average and his temperament is quite poor. Still gives away so many unnecessary frees. And I tell you what, he’s going to clean up so many people during his career, because whoever gets in his way in marking contests will feel his wrath.

:eek: Your kidding aren't you ;)

Last week everyone said how hard it would be to delist players when or current list is SO GOOD.

But when you put the best against the best in finals type atmosphere the weak links get exposed.

1. We have a key forward Bigman....Kenny....aint he good enough for you?

2. And we have a great small crumbing forward in Bode...why do you say we need one?

3. And we have a class tagger in Shirley....?


Sorry I don't follow these requests......West Coast surely has shown us to be well positioned in all these positions ;)
 
bloody crows fans

try 2 and a half wins on for size......then you can ask for something

also as above poster said all stupid requests.....YOUR TOP, remember that

It's almost time to acknowledge that out of a draft that got us VB, Liam, Ivan, and Knights.......Gibbo was probably the weakest link !

it did - but maybe WW my sense of humour did not come across that well either.
 
imo we need to chase gardiner. Our rucks are very ordinary. Crap around the ground. Unless big huddo can come back firing. We should be playing Ricciuto in the midfield. Has played the majority of his AFL games in the midfield. If he is not fit enough then he shoudlnt be playing. When he plays forward he either plays well kicks 5 or so goals or gets very few touches. Neil seems to be very reluctant to be playing him in the midfield for some reason. Yesterday he would have been ideal to give us some grunt in the midfield. Bring welsh back into the side to release roo.
Just my opinion.

Well Meesen is exceptional around the ground, so no need to worry, he's the answer. Maric's strength is his ruckwork while Meesen's is his work around the ground and ability to play up forward. What a terrific ruck division they will form for many, many years.

WTF?!?!?! :confused:

No thanks, I would rather stick with Huddo, Meesen and Maric thank you very much.
 
We need a key fordward, and a good one, one with genuine class, not just a McGregor/Perrie workhorse. We also need one or two pacy midfielders, with a bit of NATURAL grunt in their game would be nice.

It can't be morals or ethics that bother you? After all Adelaide picked up Carey.
