i think we found with CJ how far behind the AFL the WAFL is. CJ was reputedly a gun at the WAFL, 3rd best in teh competition on form. at AFL level he looks lost and skillless. by all accounts CJ is earning his keep in the VFL. with the retirements will get a second year and we all hope he improves....

Is too much of a risk. Even at a bargain basement price, I question the philosophy of trying to plug gaps with guys who are tapering off rather than on the up. Heard Ken Judge, Glenn Mitchell and Kim Hughes talking about him a few weeks back and they were raising the issue of his viability as an AFL...

Thank god for that. I've had the utmost respect for Aaron as a player and now I've got respect for him in acknowledging that his body's not up to it any more. The writing's been on the wall for a couple of years, he gave it everything he had to recover, but has now done the right thing by the club.

Yes, he ticks all the boxes in rucking ability and ability to contribute around the ground. But why take on another player in the second half of his career with question marks over fitness on the say so of the medicos? The medicos said Gardiner was fine, they've been saying Hamill will be fine for t...

I reckon Barks 4 Eva. He'd be able to have as many ruckmen as he liked.

went to play amateur footy. Last year was playing for Old Xavs in A grade Ams. Not sure if he's still playing this year.

No way we should give up pick 9 for Fevola. That is not, IMO, a balanced deal. No way

1.who's going to win the flag? Cats 2.where will the saints finish in 2008? 1st 3.what are you having for lunch? Ham, Avo and Salad roll and an orange 4.brownlow medal winner? Bartel or Kane Cornes 5.where will chris judd go? Not to bloody Carlton 6.plans this evening? Working on a show until 11.00....

I agree with Grumpy

I've also been around Newman a bit. The guy is a complete tool IMO. Arrogant and up himself to the max. Genuine pr**k

Sorry bot. I thought I'd cleared it but it popped back up again. Should be ok now thanks for that...fwiw i agree with you...id rather develop a young ruckman with heaps of potential, in hope that he will eventually turn good rather than grab another 'matt clarke' who can ease the pressure for a yea...

Do you know exactly how many is it now Stinger. 358?

Sorry bot. I thought I'd cleared it but it popped back up again.
Should be ok now

Agree that it's an area of concern, but no point filling holes with quicksand, again. IMO we do not want another recycled injury prone past his best ruckman who can't beat Blake for a place in the Geelong team.

FAIR DINKUM. Trade Goose. No way. 22 y.o. His best footy in front of him. Can be the backbone of our defense for 8 - 10 years. Trade him for an early pick who may or may not turn out ok. Madness. He's untouchable IMO unless it's a seriously good offer like Judd or Cox or Chad Cornes for example. Oth...

Is it possible that the sacred meteorites were influenced by a darkening of the moon? For when I gaze upwards at night, I see the moon with the face of a cat upon it. Could this not also be a prophecy?

Last year same time, we were talking about McDonald. He'd be as bad a bet as Gardiner. No way.
Hudson, well, another one on the decline from a hardly lofty peak. Give 'em both a miss and concentrate on developing young guys or picking up someone with genuine ruck cred. I'd take Jolly.

Great news. My respect for the man and the humble way he goes about his business is huge. The ultimate team man, no fuss, what an out and out champion. By the way, can any one tell me if Harves has ever been reported? I suspect not, I can't remember any incidents. To play for that long and never gra...

anyone know how many AFL games he played in total?

Absolutely no way. The last thing we need is another re-cycled failure from another club with a huge question mark over him. Hard enough for him being in Perth away from his family in Broome. How do you think he'll go in Melb. in the middle of winter?
Definite no from me.

Only if the deal is skewed in our favour. It would have to be a very late pick or bottom 10 player and a late pick at worst.

I agree with you Brewer. Cousins is an arrogant tosser who liked to party too hard and his lifestyle caught up with him. One of the home grown West Coast clique that includes Cousins, Kerr and Fletcher. Boys who've known nothing other than the relentlessly one-eyed West Australian media fawning over...

No sympathy at all. Seeing him spitting on the carpet in the rooms confirmed that he is a feral wanker of the highest order. But even before that, I never bought into this whole 'has a serious drug problem that he has successfully rehabilitated from' bulls***. Cousins is and always has been a rich ...

Yep, pass on both.Too old. No more re-cycled players past tjeir peak please.

thanks GSG, very nice of you
