We should get use to it. Melksham is Stanton Mk II.

Crameri has been great this year but if Gumby reaches his potential that we’ve long have hoped for I pick Gumby over Crameri any day of the week. But in any case that wouldn’t be the choice we would have to make. With Hurley and Gumbleton as key forwards, Crameri would make an awesome third...

Goal highlights: Only had nine possessions but those four goals looked impressive. Good contested marks and mobility. I’m dying to see how good he is once he builds more confidence. I will cry if we trade him and he turns out to be a gun.

I might be wrong about this but I thought one of the reason Gumby was rated so highly as a kid was because of his contested marking, wasn’t he suppose to be best 2-3 contested mark of that draft?

Forget about delistment. He’s a mature age recruit.

Hooker is a terrible kick and bad decision maker. Some times his bad kicks are due to terrible decisions. By bad kicking I mean he kicks either high trajectory forcing receiving players to wait or drops short. Examples of bad decision making are trying to break tackles and run from standing...

There is no point in trading away Bellchambers without a replacement that is more mobile/better. In future seasons, presuming we trade away Bellchambers, Hille retires, and Ryder breaks down, we’re going to replace them with 2nd grade ruckman or or 1st/2nd year Daniher? If we trade away...

Was so excited watching Gumbleton today. This is just a topping on top of the good season we’re having so far.

Assuming Gumbie keeps improving, I've got no problem with Gumbie, Hurley, Ryder, and Crameri playing in the same side. Whether they play at the same time in the forward line depends on how well our opponents and us are playing on the day. If we’re on fire can’t see any opponent covering our...

Re: Joe Daniher - "He would be No.1 by a country mile." | 8 goals in the TAC Cup Does anyone know if Joe Daniher is as good as Kreuzer was in his draft year?

Re: Ant's Rant: Round 3 edition with updated musings about Round 4 I thought it was a sh*t tackle. Noticed later in the the game he did the same thing to another player. Someone needs to teach him to roll to the side.

I've been out of the loop. What's happened to James Seller that you would offer him for Dyson? Thought he was highly rated in Adelaide.

You’ve been on this site for seven years and you find it surprising Collingwood supporters personally insult our players? Collingwood supporters wouldn’t insult our players if we didn’t post on their boards? Because clearly we wouldn’t insult other teams players if they didn’t post on our board...

Avoiding personal insults on bigfooty forums is an oxymoron. Just look at the Bendigo v Werribee thread. One of our supporters just wrote they hope our PM gets physically hurt. Don't expect a lot of intelligent posts on bigfooty forums and you will save yourself a lot frustrations.

What do you expect. Unless you plan to ban 90% bigfooty members you're going to continue to see stupid posts. Hell I like to ban 90% of posts made by our supporters on our own board.

I haven’t watched any Fremantle games this year but is he really that good? It just seems all this comparisons to James Hird and saying his better than James Hird at this stage seems a bit premature.

Exactly. Rohan is relying on hearsay.

No one is questioning Hurley can play back and forward but the issue is which one is he better at and which position would he add the most benefit to the team. There’s no disputing many of the great key position players could play either end of the field but they all eventually made their...

Fletcher’s ended up playing fb for most of his career but we all know he could’ve been a pretty damn good forward and I feel Hurley might go the same way. Just going on recent form I like Hurley down back. The advantage of this allows is us to bring in Gumbleton if/when he shows us he can hold...

'Morally bankrupt/mercenary’. Give me a break. No fan of judd or carlton but i’m sick of warriors coming out slagging people who haven’t done shit to them.

Ant555, you’ve probably already mentioned this somewhere else but wanted to know what your thoughts on Gumbleton are? Do you think he’s going to be a good/great player for Essendon given the past five years? Have you changed your assessment about his potential?

Clearly there are two schools of thought on Tbelly. Either 1. he is 1st ruck material, or 2. he isn't. You both make good points for your respective side but clearly none of us really know which category he belongs until he either gets delisted or is regularly playing snr footy as 1st ruck...

Originally I thought if Gorringe is really good enough then I wouldn't mind drafting him at 8 for the same reasons you list above but then I remember we have Joe Daniher to look forward to in 2012. Given we already have Bellchambers and Bock in the pipeline (hille, ryder, bellchambers, and...

Re: Two-game ban looms for Hurley What Skeeta says.

I know his shown some serious talent, but captain? come on, hurley has played one season and just committed a moderately serious offfield indiscretion, and we're talking about the Essendon Captainship held by Hird, Lloyd and their ilk. I'm sorry, no matter how good his performance onfield, until...

Hi Patrick Bullet, Not sure what your background is but I've listed a number of books below that i think would be great if you intend to pursue an economics major. Principles of Micro by Mankiw et al. is the standard for 1st year micro. Personally I would recommend a classic: Economics (1st...

Missing Ant already. :(

I don't think we would delist him even if he had a really sh*t year for reason of there probably wouldn't be much better with the draft picks we would have this year. TBH, given the amount of chances dyson had, by my estimate houli has at least another two shit years left before Knights would...

Hey BiG, yeah effectively it was a trade for Mark and 24, but i still don't think its worth it. ;) Its a pet hate, but I hate trading for old players (even if they come cheap). The hate comes from the days when sheedy went and got Zantuck, Murphy, Mark Allan, that WB players etc etc. I think...

TBH i was absolutely flabbergasted when we traded pick 16 for Mark. I can guess the reasons behind the move with Lloyd and Lucas retiring, and losing Lovett, thus needing a backup player who can kick goals in case Gumbleton and/or Neagle doesn't come up, but i still don't like the trade...
