Agree on the small defender - Harbrow showed this year what a weapon he is with the run and creative attacking football from deep defence...also has the pace to clamp the Stokes', Byrnes and the like. Another key defender is required in the next year or so - a succession plan for Blake / Maguire. Re...

Previously posted this: Either Nathan Brown and a pick for Ball. 20yrs old so only young - big strong CHB (195cm's) - can lock him in for 10yrs. Build a backline around him and still plenty of upside! Free up the Sam's Or McKinley from WCE with Ball to Pies & Davis to WCE With Peake coming is Ev...

No thanks. As has been stated we have more than enough small fowards. Last night I was perusing Collingwoods list and I have come to the realisation they have absolutly nothing I would consider a worthy trade for Luke Ball. They will need to get another team involved or a player plus draft pick for...

If we get McKinley and a high 2nd rounder for Ball, with Davis or whoever going to WCE and we get Everitt with the 2nd rounder a good result.

Either that or Nathan Brown & 2nd rounder for Ball from Coll.

Get it done.

I'm in between memberships!

Was member in '09 currently not a member but will be again in '10.

Ok if I continue to visit the site Champ??

I posted this on another Bally thread, but reckon it's appropriate here as well: A couple of blokes that may be of serious interest to us at Collingwood are Ben Reid and Nathan Brown, who are ready made CHB's. If we let Goose go, they may be very appealing as "back-up's". Both were taken ...

I can think of nothing sweeter for scum fans if there was 30 secs to go in a PF... Blues up by 3 points... BJ collects on the wing, takes a bounce and drills it to FEVOLA... GOAL! Saints go into the GF. I'd pay $10k to see that. :twisted: Camera pans to the crowd where Hamill,Kenny Sheldon and Wow ...

Too slow, can't kick...it is unfortunate but he has had a contract offer on the table since July. I still think he is injured, or at least not 100%. Luke ran the 100m in year 12, with his time being almost a mirror of Judd's - he was a very quick when first drafted. Coll have nothing of note that we...

Ball leaving the Saints - Collingwood is his club of choice.

Regardless of how cheap he is, no for me. We need footballers who are hungry for success, I've never seen Nathan Brown as having that mentality. He has never had the chance to play for a serious premiership contender. There are many older players who die for the chance, just ask Max. My doubt is wh...

Joffa was #25.

Stephen Theodore, then Tweedale.

Any one in between?

Joffa then went to #5

Have heard that we are looking at / considering Peake from Freo.

Good source....doesn't mean it will happ though and I have no further details

Both Maguire & BJ both bulked up quite a bit...if you remember back, this was when the Lions were big and strong and GT tried to emulate their style of play.....however I think he read the landscape incorrectly and the style of game changed to a more posession and running game. Something that pu...

Geoff Ablett won about 3 for memory '79, '80, '81

Straight swap: Ball for Salopak from PA.....

Not smart enough for that, MENSA certainly aren't knocking on his door!!

27 next year - too old for us to consider!

I think you'll find they are a heavier weightrd type of top that is part of their training load - ramping it up pre finals and then lightening training so they are Cherry Ripe for Sept action....

Let's also take into account the amount of time Goose has been out of the game. He would not be AFL match fit and bring him in on such a big game would be a gamble. If Max is still injured for the Weagles game, RL might consider giving him a run in a less pressure game. Providing of course it suits...

GRAM in, MILNE out...the one change this week

I'm led to believe that the AFL & the club have Choo Choo's DoB wrong.
He is a year older than first thought.

What have I said? Our midfield can't improve on their kicking? Our kicking in our midfield (besides luke ball) is up to standard :wink: Up to what standard? Even if it was 'up to standard' you can still improve. Luke Ball & Lenny Hayes, 50% of our A Grade starting mid field are not up to standa...

Interested if anyone knows if we have a dedicated kicking coach. It seems to me that our foot skills as a team are lagging the other top line teams and have done so for a number of years. As proved in our finals series this year, we were eaten up by skillful and creative kicking by the 2 top teams. ...
