Laidler played round 1 haha.
A quick check of his stats shows he has played 12 of 13 games this year :)
Not a bad effort considering the bloke had only played 5 senior games over the past two seasons.
It's remarkable to think that someone who missed so much senior footy has been able to cement a...
Laidler requested to be delisted because he knew mick wouldn't play him.
He also knew there was plenty of demand for his services from other clubs.
Absolutely rapt that he is playing consistent good football in a successful team.
As opposed to languishing in the seconds under an incompetent...
Malthouse is on the money - no need to apply the razor to the list this year. No need for drastic changes.
After all, we have one of the oldest lists in the AFL, a handful of key players to retire in the next year or two.
Plenty of key position kids waiting for there opportunities in the...
Change the station dude. Love SEN but a Wallace and Bartlett combo have as much football credibility as the UN in world politics.
Warrick Capper as a commentator would provide better football insight than those two muppets.
This.
He resigned prior to the national draft as well - alarming.
He was not poached, however, Richmond took him on after he left us.
Williams spent 14 at the cats. He was involved in building a list that has seen 3 flags and countless top 4 finishes since 2007.
The man helped build one of...
Can anyone inform me as to whether Andrew McKay has had any coaching, football department or management roles at other clubs prior to becoming our GM of footy operations?
The Football Manager plays a critical role within a club.
A job that oversees the coaching, recruiting, list management...
Mick also said our list was fine when he took charge. He went on a holiday during the free agency and trade period after the 2012 season.
Wouldn't be surprised if the clowns in the football department told him to take the holiday instead of coming in and having some input on the team he was...
100% spot on - yep, all the way back in 2002 and 2003.....A decade ago.......
Look at what we were given since then during the 2004 - 2008 years.
So much time, so many draft picks and poached players and yet..........three "top 8" placing's (not including the one made by default this year)...
Well there's quite an age difference between Fev and Thorp for one..........
Maybe if we had Fev during the 2011 season we actually would have made the top 4 for the only time since 2000. Or made the finals in 2012.
Instead we have been one of the most poorly performed clubs since 2002...
I'll take these posts with a grain of salt. The credibility of a big footy poster is no better than a media report, chinese whispers from a mate or a talkback caller on SEN.
I'd probably say a big footy poster has the least credibility out of the four.
Regardless of whether he has matured or...
Very disappointing to see Laidler go.
Much better footballer than White, McInnes and Bootsma and has proved it in the past.
All the best Laids. Hope you tear it up at Sydney.
Great post - very true.
Fact of the matter is nobody on here knows if Thorpe has matured. Only those around him would truly know. His family, friends, teammates, workmates.
Rumors and media speculation are nothing to go by, so no point getting excited.
I'd take him with pick 39 if he is...
Why is everyone so certain he will sort out his kicking?
I really hope he does, I'd absolutely love it if he could put 50-60 away for us next year.
But I'm a realist. It's a hard thing to fix.
He would have had coaches his entire career trying to sort out his kicking.
From when he first started...
What?
Anyway, I haven't given much to this thread, so here is my best 22 for next year:
Tuohy Jamison Duigan
Yarran Henderson Laidler
Scotland Carrazzo Simpson
Robinson Waite Gibbs
Walker Casboult Betts
Kreuzer Judd Murphy
Armfield Warnock McLean...
His nick is Kruzering - not Kreuzering.
A person with your forum experience should have picked up on that.
Attention to detail mate, its a skill that's needed in real life.
Dramoth, I also hope that Levi turn's his kicking around.
But the fact is kicking is a natural thing. Its not like hitting the gym and bulking up, improving your tank.
Not many players can turn there kicking around.
Levi has THE most awkward kicking style I have ever seen. Kid's in the under...
Just telling it how it is matey.
The bloke will cost us more games in the future. Couldn't kick if his life depended on it.
Anyone who disagrees simply does not watch football. Or has a mental capacity of a 4 year old.
He'll cost us games in the future. You can quote me on that.
At least...
Haha quite possibly the most hilarious post I have ever seen. Sig worthy.
One day I told a friend that casboult will cost us many games in the future with his bad kicking.
As I watched levi kick 0.5 against a depleted gold coast team with our finals chances on the line, I as you, felt vindication.
