No but knowing they aren't going to annoy you for a while is worth the pay off. I don't block people for long but sometimes people just get annoying. If you ever got a response from the Brisbane game email, I'd love to read it in a PM, if you don't, absolutely respect that.
NWM yes

That’s not fair, I was about to post yesterdays correspondence I received from Elvis, but after seeing this I’m reluctant to share it now

Tarryn Thomas opportunity - the 'missing piece' elite mid?
Morning Gents
After bidding on this prodigious talent in the 2018 Super draft (before our ultimate Chayce Jones selection), he is gettable from all accounts, esp with Kangas abundance of highly drafted mids along with their strong chance of trading up for Reid this year. And pick 9 should do it (according to ‘expert analysis’ on SEN this morning) with Bombers, Sydney and others interested. Assuming Kangas may release him I suppose it does leave the question of whether there may be other skeletons in the closet and our clubs policy on bringing in young men that have had some troubles in their relative youth (I was all for going after Dusty Martin on his first major contract extension back in 2013/2024 but he had also had behavioural issues and his player manager, Ralph Carr, had trouble finding buyers at that stage on a reported 500-600k / year ish for a 4 year contract from memory. The potential was always there though with Dusty and upon maturing would have been the buy of the century). I see similar strong upside with Thomas and would be exactly what our midfield needs as a burst player from stoppage with exquisite skills, and exhibiting both inside and outside mid attributes.
Bailey Smith also a chance but clearly both Bailey and Tarryn have had some issues and I understand Smith’s stress and anxiety identified before the draft (and to be fair have arisen during his first few years as a professional athlete) scared away interstate clubs and probably a higher risk factor even (but admittedly I don’t really know).
Assuming we cant obtain GC Suns pick 4 for Mc Kerchner assuming Hawks don’t take him (or possibly Wilson/Sanders if available at pick 9), I hope we are looking at opportunities to bring elite talent in now whilst we still have peak Tex. This could include trading up for pick 4, using 9 to trade for a quality mid, bringing forward our 2024 first to avoid being used on Welsh etc. We have been the best performed club in the last 2 years securing 2 elite talents in Dawson (for way unders – nice work, somewhat payback for Tippett!) and Rankine paying a fairly full price. Decent crack at Day and Redman but unfortunately not always easy to dislodge and hopefully Philippou on next years ‘bring home’ list.
We weren’t that for off genuinely competing for the flag this year with a few more close wins and finishing top 4. Our best is as good as anyone’s and I would rate our chances against most top 8 teams in a big final at The G.
With Welsh to come next year (ideally 11-20, not top 10 so not sure if he needs a strict burgers and fries diet for the next 12 mths ONLY) and the chance to bring in Sid Draper (perhaps bringing Arlo as a rookie this year) and its basically rebuild done, and with an elite midfield (Dawson, Thomas, Pedlar, Rachele, Draper, Soligo and more) along with the comps best forward line (certainly whilst we still have Tex performing and ideally a step up next year from Fog and TT) and an exceptionally cheaply built backline which you have genuinely done a remarkable job with (Murray, Hinge, Butts, Keane all freebies/rookies, Worrell for unders, Max a rare gift from Head Office and Milera returning to peak form).
Good luck over coming months guys but would love to see a plug and play elite talent brought into the midfield for next year (Tim Silvers mentioned we may look at last minute opportunities recently if they arose).
Look at you go!
Dont let them knockers get you down
.
Some of the most bestest(obvious) moves the Club has ever made are lifted straight from this board.
Smith is done, hinge and milera half backs and Soligo should be on the inside.
i suppose the dilemma is this. If you are thanked and encouraged to provide constructive input by the Clubs CEO, GM List Manager (and others) or cater to clueless and disrespectful anonymous BF numbnuts, you need to choose which course of action to follow.
Actually on second thoughts, its not really a dilemma after all is it
How cute, you believe the nice man meant it and was interested in your opinions.

every time i see something like this im tempted to do the same. I don't have the plums though
I’d take Michael as he is today over James Aish…
What about Phil Gallagher?
Put him on the wing or on ball. Would be a fantastic pick up, exactly what we need

You didn't watch him play in defense for 3/4 of the season? He look better after moving on the wing late in the season but still just bomb the ball into 50 after going for a run.
Smith provides next to nothing. He was an absolute gun a few years ago, but he's miles off his pre knee/concussion form. he used to run hard and hit up impossible targets with 50m darts on crazy angles, these days he just bombs long to contests. Sadly he'll be locked in all 2024 with Sloane.

Think it has more to do with hating most things AFC... as rarely has anything positive to say about the club.He hates smith and i remember him saying if smith did an acl he wouldnt be missed , says it all really

Don't get me wrong, I don't enjoy reading from those think that the AFC can't do any wrong either... but I prefer to listen to those posters with more balanced views.
