Yeah but you’re only trying to be cool

Someone finally accusing me of trying to be cool.

 

[Alwaysacrow]

McSpudry won't like this news about Peatling. Time to go fishing

 

[Mutineer]

I think Lalor is a choice made up by this board

Haven’t heard us linked to him at all - Smilie and Langford, Draper all yes. Suspect it comes form that group

Why exactly would the club telegraph to the media who the player on top of their list is this far out from the draft?

There would only be a select few at the club that know that and even then a lot can change with more intense interviews and family meets.

Gang, I need some help.
I have this feeling. It’s like an impending sense of doom, but…the opposite.
I don’t think I’ve felt this for a long time. I’m not sure what to do!
All help appreciated

DON'T GET COMPLACENT

Look at our rucks, that will get you back on track

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Why ..?

Surely Houston has got a voice in where he plays next year

If his objective is to break his Contract to get back to Melbourne .....he doesn't get to choose the Club in VIC

He has no voice in the matter, it's Port that have to be satisfied

Yesss. It’s quite disturbing isn’t it

[PeterSalt]

He’s happy to talk to Carlton and north according to reports

So in the end port could say we are happy to deal with north if you want to get back to melb or stay with us ( contracted 2 more years )

Fair enough

On the other hand, why would an established player and 2 x AA move to a cellar dwelling club

He's been playing finals at the power, surely his first choice would be to go Carlton

 

[Jeffcrowe]

I think Jeffcrowe was first?

But Jenny had a great source.

Yep took me a while to convince people it was happening but had it from 3 good sources including Peatling camp and the club

Actually wasn’t sure he would choose us but it does make sense re money and on/ off field opportunities as well as Jenny’s source re partners

 

[Crow till I die]

People keep saying port are no chance to get in ahead of us this draft. North hold pick 2 and might part with that to get him

 

[Jeffcrowe]

He might see something brewing at north and a chance to have a crack in 2-4 years time at success

Carlton are in window now but they wouldn’t want to waste too many more years

 

[WheresGroomgone]

I think some of you didn’t even sleep last night. The fact that this OFF-TOPIC argument is still going is a sad reflection on you.

It’s a nice day. Go outside. Get some sun.

You definitely don’t live on the Eyre Peninsula one of the worst weather days I have experienced and I had to drive to Streaky to pick up a caravan for my daughter - hideous!

 

[Jeffcrowe]

No

They would only trade future 1st and back themselves to push up ladder

 

[rabidcrow]

Actually a bit of a shame to miss out on the 20-40 area of this draft but can’t complain about the acquisitions

Re pick 4 , not sure we will get an elite mid in this draft but it will definitely be a good one

Really. Everything I read suggests “super draft”. I know that’s relating to the depth this year which seems phenomenal - you don’t think the top end is “super”

Lets wait and see on that

 

[Golumless]

It's okay. There's zero chance we're not taking an elite mid at pick 4.

Get excited now, save some time!

We will definitely pick a mid with pick 4 - take that to the bank
And we will definitely pick Welsh.

Probably the only 2 live picks we take


Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Never underestimate Adelaide's ability to do something catastrophically stupid when we're being aggressive.

Though I do think it's likely we will, but who knows, Reid and Hamish might trade down for a 2025 first.

 

[Scorpus]

Why hasn't anyone fired up the PlayStation yet?

Pick 25 and F3 to GWS for Peatling and 38.

F2 to Melbourne for ANB.

38, 42 and 60 to GCS for 26 and 74 (which we don't use).

Take 26 to the draft.

Cumming, ANB, Peatling, Pick 4, Pick 26 and Welsh.

Throw in some other off field improvements, and it's a great offseason.

Pick 42 to Melbourne for Neal-Bullen

F2 to GWS for Peatling

 

[ABAB]

DON'T GET COMPLACENTView attachment 2130388

Double down on fine tuning that "game plan" he rolled out in the first 4-5 weeks over the preseason which he initially said the players couldn't executed and then admitted they had to tweak it as it was shit?????

 

[Jeffcrowe]

BANG

Seems like everyone wants to come to this debacle of a football club



* we have lots of work to do

 

[Danger in Texas]

No

Imagine if Port land Sharp

That said I think North would rise a decent amount next year if they land Houston, Parker and Darling

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Pick 42 to Melbourne for Neal-Bullen

F2 to GWS for Peatling

This would be unreal but won’t happen unfort

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Same , about 2 years behind hawks maybe if they start to land trades

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

**** I love Justin Reid.

If I never see Murphy and McSpudry in the team again it’ll be too soon.

Smith replaced too which is sad but beyond due.

Laird on thin ice

 

[PeterSalt]

He might see something brewing at north and a chance to have a crack in 2-4 years time at success

Carlton are in window now but they wouldn’t want to waste too many more years

Carlton are definitely going to be there about for the next couple of years .. injuries this year shagged the back half of their season

North .. it's just really hard to see in the short term

He's 28

Personally I'd be looking to move somewhere that in the window now

 

[footy4ever]

Love hate.
Love to see Tex in another system
Hate to see him in another jumper.

I'd barrack my guts out for him if it was Brizzy. Not against us of course:
