PLUS Your club board comp is now up!
Kinda agree with Faganslions36 on this one. If he has those opinions, why isn't this the place where he can express them? Just because some don't agree (and I am one of them) doesn't mean he shouldn't be able to give them providing they are not offensive. (which they were not) Really, doesn't this forum allow people to debate/talk about their opinions...right or wrong, or do the PC police own Big Footy also
The club believes they have more than enough options on their list already for the tall bigger forward developing. Like you, I am also impatient but its easy to forget that most/almost all KPF's don't really surface until they are 24-25 years old. We are a season or 2 away from that happening but I also believe they will. Lynch is about to turn 27, Brown the same, Hawkins 31, Kennedy 32, Darling 27, Cameron 26. Not many of those elite KPF's mentioned were doing what we need at 21-22 years old. It takes time for the body to mature.
Knightmare is Chris Deore who writes for ESPN. It says it in his ESPN bio.
I don't think anyone wants to deny someone an opinion, but people get a bit testy and will call out people who make assumptions about a players character, or make statements that are just wrong. this is a general statement and not aimed specifically at Faganslions36.
Agree, I'd be staggered if we bought in a key position player at either end. Also hopefully Walker stays he is great coverage at either end in case of injury.
I got sucked in with the early speculation and I still want Brodie Smith or Rory Laird!
I agree unless it is an elite KPF in the right age bracket for us which is extremely hard/rare to come by, eg. If we were confident we could get 25 year old Joe Daniher's body right I'd be for bringing him in.... for the right price.
And that's the key to it all isn't it. No doubt that Daniher is an elite 26 year old KPF providing he is fit and plays. My questions to all that before we go "ALL IN" for him is: How much$? Who do we sacrifice for him coming into the list? Can we roll the dice on his fitness? Al, these questions and more!!! Lucky we have Noble & Co who I trust will make the right decisions for whats best for the club.
OK. Not PC. Another one....OFFENSIVE!!! There's another overused one for the snowflakes in this world then.

Read my post next time. I was responding to his assertion that his opinion was "fact" which he subsequently conceded it wasn't. No objection to contrary views/opinions. As you say, within boundaries, that is one of the purposes of this forum. But personally I get sick of posters bagging our players which is how I would characterise his original post about Witherden. He's free to express it and I am free to express my dislike of it. It's nothing even approaching political correctness.
That warm weather is good for the joints
Didn't you know freedom of speech means freedom from consequences/reverse opionions or so some people think.
Thanks but reading it once was enough. lol.
I'm not into thinking it's more than a remote possibility but if their was any way of snaring Daniher I'd be doing whatever it reasonably took because he'd make a massive difference to our team , including freeing up a couple of players who currently have a big responsibility every week and are still learning.
One way experience or not, think should be Ok to say what he said in this forum. For the record I don't agree with his comments but I do agree with him saying what's on his mind providing its not dis-respectful or offensive. If he said something really positive, nothing would be made of it but because its not complementary, he is told to tone it down. Sure he should be ready for the people to come back and debate what he says be it with or against his comments. That's what I thought one the thing things this PLATFORM was here for...opinions & debate of opinions. Talking in detail about his thoughts and others view may even give him a different perspective on Witho…..maybe.
I don't want Jenkins Macca but Hipwood nearly did his knee last year and we need to look to strengthening our list in that area if we can because we've had a dream run to date.
