big statement to put the childs life on it, i will hold you to it

as for the subject, doesn't surprise me as many have surpassed him in importance in the eagles midfield and he even struggled to come back after injury at a stage earlier in the season.

He is an above average midfielder but in a rolls royce midfield, his talent is not fulfilled.

[Riewoldting]

Not going to reveal my source, but very much wants to go to Brisbane

... for the Eagles' end-of-season trip, and won't take no for an answer.

Will put Winmarvellous's child's life on it.

[Unforgiven]

Interesting, he isn't that bad a player.

[Oh When the Saints]

Well, he was out.


For a long time, I believe, and in Los Vegas too.

[Teflon]

how old?
worth a punt?

[SaintBot]

how old?
worth a punt?

he would be at least 30 by now wouldnt he

[Saints Premiers 2008]

second rounder and who???

we couldnt waste a first rounder on him surely

we are over topping up

[midas_touch]

Turning 28 in two weeks.

Quite a good midfielder, but has been out of favour for much of the year due to the emergence of players like Priddis and Rosa.

28 on the 30th of this month.

i think so, but not at a high price.

we may need barks' approval to punt on a recycled player though

[SaintBot]

only 28! wow...thought he was a few years over that.

Worth a 2nd-3rd round pick.

Would be in our 22 for sure.

[Saints Premiers 2008]

i would rather have fletcher then priddis...he (priddis) is soft as butter

[fonz_#15]

i'd say a late 2nd round.

was 3rd in 2003 b&f and 2nd in 2004 so he c an play a bit.

3rd in 2003 with Gardiner gifting the ball to him in the ruck.

Wouldnt mind seeing that again!

[fonz_#15]

no complaints from me either..
he uses the ball ok and is a good runner

[TimeToShineFellas]

was 3rd in 2003 b&f and 2nd in 2004 so he can play a bit.

Love those penetrating left foot kicks of his.

And doesn't mind a goal or two, which is ideally what we would love most of our midfielders doing on a consistent basis.

[skeptic]

we need fast midfielders and tough enforcer midfielders

whilst a good player I don't think he excells at either categories

[evertonfc]

Our third round pick, definitely. Maybe a late 2nd if we could get our hands on one.

I'd love to see him with us. He'd have a massive, massive point to prove in 2008 to show he's still got it.

[ausfatcat]

realisticly thou he has what maybe two or three years in him?? And has off field problems.

seems to be more in the fiora mould with slightly more class and a bit more toughness, having said that i would still welcome him to the club should it not:

a) jeapordise the development of younger mids i.e armo, mini

b) come at an expensive price i.e higher than late 2nd round pick or a GOP.

spot on. i rate him pretty highly, and at a new club he would have an agenda to show the eagles he shoukd not be overlooked.

[Dan Warna]

i thought we were against topping up?!!??!?!?

[Winmarvellous]

Not me. Better than Mini ever will be.

[evertonfc]

i thought we were against topping up?!!??!?!?

Depends on the circumstance, Dan.

An All-Australian with something to prove who's wages will be low and available for a lowly pick, well below his potential value?

Has pace, great disposal and would walk into our first 22?

Gimme gimme gimme that thing.

But if you're saying we should top up with 33-year old midfielders who are finished, then no, that would be stupid.

Case by case is the key. There's no blanket rule. By and large, go for youth, but if the case warrants it, exceptions can be made.
