So am I right in that we are most likely to end up with just ANB, while Port will be getting, Luko and Cumming? If so, that is a total disaster for us. Need at least Cumming.

It would not be a very good start to the off season

Who knows and trade week hasnt even started god people shit the bed in here like port going to win it all look at their list and draw and record against top 4 teams its shocking the chances of them winning it in my mind were 20/1 they fail when the pressure is on

A full strength Milera is just like a new signing

Before cracking the sads, how about waiting until the end of the trade period. Life’s too short to worry about this ATM.

Not sure about that

 

[Cromulant]

We would all like to think that, but a full strength Milera won't happen again

Are you taking the piss?

We here this every year, and he either breaks down, or when he does play he hits nowhere near his potential

Sadly you're right.

What could've been

 

[bonehilda]

Of course they’re taking the piss

Of course he is.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Not sure about that

He was taking the piss. At some point during preseason, there will be a fluff piece about how Milera is loving his rehab and feels like a brand new player.

He will..... for about 4 weeks.

I don't give a shit about what Port do, other than its recruiting players that we could have.

We need to get better than 14 other teams, not just 1.

We live in hope. I wouldn’t be putting my house on it.

Plus signing spuds to long term contracts and paying high prices. We might miss out on stuff but at least we're not destroying our list management. I'd rather miss out than do stupid list management stuff. Its just a pity we live in a state with a spend now worry later club. Whoever takes over from Ken is getting an absolute shit sandwhich.

Summary:

Lukosius nominated Port
Cumming had a medical with Port and Crows and will soon decide
Houston is leaving Port for a Victorian club
Soldo is leaving Port for a Victorian club
Tim Parham from our fitness department is leaving for Port

Actually, that was very useful.

 

[Mostyn]

Scrolling through this random X account (who did post correctly on Keane 10 days before it was announced), they mentioned Leek Aleer a month ago. No idea on track record before Keane, but it's a rumour thread.

A big no to Leek.

 

[Carmo]

The Power's sub was a 19 yo, Hawks had a 33 yo.

What were the average ages of the 22s?

Not sure if anyone answered, avg games port 95.3, avg age port 25.1, 102.0 and 25.2 for hawks.
Ports team is 20-30 games more experienced than we were for most of the season.

 

[Pugsley]

With the knees of a 60 year old.

So, Rozee managed to help get a big recruit across the line for Port.

Will Tex be able to do the same?

Tex is cooked

 

[Cromulant]

Tex is cooked

This has nothing to do with his playing ability

But cool

 

[Mostyn]

Tex is cooked

What's that got to do with his ability to attract an important recruit, like Rozee did?

 

[Multiballz]

A full strength Milera is just like a new signing

How many weeks of his career has he been at full strength up until now?
