jeff farmer was too, but it was how we dealt with him, gaz apparently had such an impact on him... wonder if we have that one now... clark maybe? Jones?

I think (just my opinion/suspicion) that Jurrah's issues run a lot deeper than Farmer's ever did - to the point that it might not actually be possible to manage while playing football full time.
he was fine up until the slight unsettle down at his hometown, before that it was fine.
The problem with Jurrah is that he is an elder so he feels he has to make an impact if something like that happens maybe? I dunno... don't know enough about aboriginal culture I must admit... learned only a little at primary school... which is a problem in itself but either way...

Yeah I don't think any of what he and his community have been through could be described as slightly unsettled.
that was always a thought it was gonna happen, melbourne is thinking 2 or 3 of who they want may be there by our pick, still nothing to be concerned about
clearly downplaying it but Jeff Farmer never had to experience that of what I know, hell most footy players wouldnt have, without that he was perfectly fine.
Id love him back

Weird moves from West Coast if Collingwood take Freeman we'll almost certainly take Dom Sheed
ThePuppetMaster
Yay
Collingwood are rumored to want Bontempelli @6.
we apparently are looking at a player than name i cant spell/pronounce whatever, starts with k

Not necessarily as Collingwood believed to be very keen on Bontempelli at 6.
We can only hope this is true.

not far off... dunno what pick we are looking for him though, I saw the name and im like wtf? Hes a tasmanian apparently... made no attempt to guess his heritage though but doenst look anglo
Yeh it looks weird at first but the more I look at it, it's not so bad, you just have to keep in mind Jesse White isn't worth all that much.
I think its more what pies gave to get pick 6... pretty much jack squat
Well they gave 11, 31 and 49 for pick 6 and White, it's not outrageous

Howe would be awesome in defense. I wouldn't mind him filling in there with our current million forwards setup.
that article is horrible, that makes more sense
ThePuppetMaster
Yay
Will be interesting to see how Damo Barrett interprets WCE's trading here... considering they didn't even get a player (and I know they'll try to get Yeo)
I reckon Collingwood might make a play for Adams and pick1/Patton for Shaw, 6, 10 and another player like O'Brien.
Just a hunch.
Just a hunch.
Adams and Patton for what you said maaaaaybe, but if it was Adams and essentially Tom Boyd, I'd hate GWS if they let that through!
