OMG don’t ruin our great trade period- no way forget about him finished as an afl playerI agree. I think we are now strong enough to take punt on Bennell. However there may be a few others that are also interested.

What else did your bird whisper?I have a source who reckons Alabakis will be sharing the number 1 ruck duties with Ryder. For example, after Ryder plays 5 games he will be rested and Alabakis will come in for a couple of games. Imagine a 211 cm giant rucking for us and then going forward and terrorising the opposition's defenders.
ummm are you saying players shouldnt use steps in the off season ? i mean he wasnt waterskiing or trampolineing
So Just doing some research on where our list is currently is at.
I've ranked the players in terms of who I think is our best in their respective positions to worst.
In addition, I've placed them where I think they will play this year.
Lastly I've seperated into small and tall forwards, mids etc. There may be the odd exception of a mid sized player

Analysis
At this stage there are some obvious results.
1. We have way to many defender, more specifically we have to manny small defenders. Some like Paton, Coff, Clarke and Jones will probably play higher up the ground but to me at this stage their dominant position is in defence. It's easily our line with the most depth but I think we;ve just got way too many talented players who are gonna struggle to get opportunity. To me there is a fine line between selection pressure and just too many viying for the same spot. You need to allow guys to have confidence to make mistakes etc etc.
2. We are still very light on in the ruck stocks. One injury and we are basically screwed. Think we'll need to draft one in (potentially Biggy.)
3. After trading Acres we are exceptionally light on for big bodied mids with really only two on the inside. This has me worried TBH.
4. Following on from our ruck, issues I think more concerning is the lack of hieght in the forward line. The pressure on membrey and King this year will be huge and I think we're gonna struggle with out Bruce. So one would think that Battle may move back forward epspecially if Robo is back. Even so I think we are really tight in the forward line. In addition, we are very inexperianced, it was very difficult to rank the forwards.
I have a source who reckons Alabakis will be sharing the number 1 ruck duties with Ryder. For example, after Ryder plays 5 games he will be rested and Alabakis will come in for a couple of games. Imagine a 211 cm giant rucking for us and then going forward and terrorising the opposition's defenders.
Wait, wot!I have a source who reckons Alabakis will be sharing the number 1 ruck duties with Ryder. For example, after Ryder plays 5 games he will be rested and Alabakis will come in for a couple of games. Imagine a 211 cm giant rucking for us and then going forward and terrorising the opposition's defenders.
yeah, there's 5 metatarsals, and if he did it rolling his ankle it's most likely the fifth metatarsal which takes the least weight. It's like breaking a pinkie over a thumb, thumb is a big deal, pinkie not so. Also I broke my fifth metatarsal when someone stood on my foot mid tackle, it healed up fine and there are no lingering effects at all.The Herald Sun can reveal Hannebery’s latest setback came when he stumbled on some outdoor steps at his sister’s house in Perth.
The midfielder fractured a metatarsal bone in his right foot in the midmorning accident, which occurred at the start of the week.
I think you have been on the sauce. Do you actually know where he played this year?I have a source who reckons Alabakis will be sharing the number 1 ruck duties with Ryder.

Use by: 10/03/1976I reckon your source is real dodgy.
Legitimately the most entertaining thing in life is watching Galapagos trying to kick on the run.Wait, wot!
Isn't he still a broomstick with arms?
Frankston?I think you have been on the sauce. Do you actually know where he played this year?
Ammos after Frankston didn’t want him.Frankston?
From all reports, sounds pretty minor. A small tear in his meniscus that he didnt even know he had. Played the season with it and only found out about it when the club gave him a medical. He has been training so it hasn't stopped him from doing over the off season and will probably just have some load managed throughout preseason.Can anyone give me a better understanding of hill's knee issue like will it not be gone into the new season or is it something that just has to be managed ect

Speaking of lemons, I reckon your facial expression would be that of someone sucking on a lemon. Why are you always sour?Hanners fractured bone in foot 8 weeks. Stumbled down some steps apparently.
Season gone fractured feet ruin peoples careers let alone seasons. No preseason yet again.
Lemons are ******* expensive these day.
I tripped over a bag and fractured my footI slipped down TWO steps and fractured my fibula.
Can happen.
I tripped over a foot and broke my bag. That really hurtI tripped over a bag and fractured my foot
I 've also got photos of my fractured foot.So anyone want to see my foot again after slipping on steps in Edinburgh?
Reckon a few are still traumatised from the last time.
your source is on the sauce ... Alabakis will not be first ruck for Sandy next yearI have a source who reckons Alabakis will be sharing the number 1 ruck duties with Ryder. For example, after Ryder plays 5 games he will be rested and Alabakis will come in for a couple of games.
