[Crows I Am]

Who wastes a top ten pick on a key defender though?

They can load up on them with later picks or trade for one.

How many mids do they need though? They have taken so many in the early part of the draft. They need to start adding quality players to other areas of their team.

 

[jenny61_99]

We're discussing what's been reported, as we always do in these matters.

Fair enough.

 

[CrowToon]

I've decided this morning I'm ok with the body of the bird. The top half is the ****ing shitshow part. I also feel like the Adelaide writing is very basketballish.

I'd still vote to bin the whole thing and start again.

Yep

It looks like it's carrying something on its back

I don’t think there’s any redeemable features about the entire design. It is absolutely horrible.

yeh it looks like its a primary school drawing comp. bin it.

 

[FR0GGY]

The colours are ok

 

[Viva la Mattner]

yeh it looks like its a primary school drawing comp. bin it.

it looks like my son has made it on Minecraft

Here is hoping that is the one of the final draft's before making the last few changes before official rollout

 

[dogs105]

Yeah, but you're negative about everything the club does

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Yep, our 22 is significantly different to their 22 at this stage.

Especially in midfield

So if he’s starting some games in centre square for them then he’d get some good opportunities for us

They don’t lack speed like we do either and he’s got plenty of that

 

[WeeBlake]

Maybe we’ve come late with some of the Luko money?

It’s called a war chest

 

[jenny61_99]

Yeah, but you're negative about everything the club does

wtf is going on this week? Is it a “let’s pile on Jenny week”?

 

[119others]

I thought you were taking the piss.

I was just joining in

Ok mate, thanks for clarifying. Don’t think I use sarcasm too much and certainly wasn’t here. I enjoy WW perspectives as much as acknowledge some things are a little “out there” . When he isn’t occasionally baiting the normal issues (SA stuff inc coffee) I feel he has a deep understanding of many big picture aspects of the game and enjoy his contributions to our forum.

 

[119others]

Dude, you realise when you have someone on ignore you can still choose to see some posts? I saw some interaction and had a look at what the fuss was about and seeing you fawn over Wayne vindicated why you are actually on ignore.

nah, not buying it old mate. You have now done the same thing now on MULTIPLE occasions.

Ps you seemingly won’t be able to respond now either

 

[GreyCrow]

wtf is going on this week? Is it a “let’s pile on Jenny week”?

Have you had a coffee yet?

I disagree with a lot of what Wayne says, but at least it's always a "unique" perspective.

Sometimes this board is just the same three opinions repeated over and over again, and it's good to see someone swim against that. I think he gets targeted here because some folks have thin skins and don't like dissenting opinions.

 

[jenny61_99]

**** coffee, I need a margarita.

3 opinions? i must have missed the other 2 haha

agree with your thoughts on WW and hope he keeps it up

 

[GameofSloanes]

I know they have ample HB replacements for Houston, but it's surely gotta hurt if neither of Perryman or Cumming get there

Do they have ample replacements? They struggled to replace him in finals, was one of the reasons they played so poorly

 

[BRL121]

**** coffee, I need a margarita.

George Kramer She's swearing again!

 

[Carn The Texan]

Has anyone asked Sid Draper's entourage what they think of the new logo yet?

 

[El Doederino]

Has anyone asked Sid Draper's entourage what they think of the new logo yet?

Correction: Has anyone asked Josh Money what Sid Draper's entourage say that Sid Draper thinks of the logo yet?

 

[Mostyn]

Has anyone asked Sid Draper's entourage what they think of the new logo yet?

I laughed at the mention of "the Draper camp feel that ..."

The Draper Camp? What kind of ridiculous American rubbish is that?

Who's part of this supposed entourage? Two mates from his year 12 English class? His mum?

 

[40porpoise]

So if we bring in Cumming ANB and Peatling, they all improve our 22? Who goes out?

Cumming-Smith or Laird
ANB-Murphy
Peatling-Berry?

 

[Mostyn]

George Kramer She's swearing again!

I don't think tagging posters in order to target other posters is a good look?
