[Mutineer]

That was faith and was banned.

Red Rooster or Hungry Jack still available?

 

[1970crow]

Still think 28 is way overs.

We should be getting a future 3rd back.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Red Rooster or Hungry Jack still available?

Red Rooster would be for inside trade news...

 

[FR0GGY]

Lol, really? I missed that one.

Anyone been Hungry Jack's?

Yeah Scorpus confirmed it

 

[jenny61_99]

Lol, really? I missed that one.

Anyone been Hungry Jack's?

He could become “Did somebody say KFC”. We’d never guess it was him.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Yeah Scorpus confirmed it

Well he does lack originality.

Perhaps he come back as a Man of Dishonour.

 

[crow2crow]

Given drafts are year on year this doesn’t matter.
The number after compensation is given is what the pick really is.

its sliding way more this year than last for example so it does matter.

the pick is fine IMO but we need something back

 

[Mutineer]

That was faith and was banned.

Avatar all ready for his return..

 

[FR0GGY]

It doesn’t matter because pick 28 in this years draft might be equal to 15 last year or 40 next year.

 

[1970crow]

he came third in their b&f. the pick is projected to be 31 by the time its taken. hes 28, not 32. be a little realistic !

He'll be 29 before he plays a game for us. How he voted in their b&f is irrelevant, he's leaving for personal reasons, we're not contending and he's only a nice to have for a couple of years. Talk is that we're extending his deal to 4 years, that too is madness. Without him we got Tex, TT, Fog, Keays and Rachele as a starting 5. We've then got pick 4 coming to the club plus Curtin and other young mids and Rankine that we need to be able to rotate through there. He'll make us better short term but at the cost of developing a contending squad, we should be paying only the bare minimum. If he stays, goes to Port or retires, it'll have not negatively impacted our next contending period one little bit.

 

[George Kramer]

Was he Alex

Only Alex would ask that

 

[Danger in Texas]

Tom Morris off the cuff on Furnace - we’re open to splitting 4

Still just can’t see it happening, though

 

[Crow till I die]

Red Rooster or Hungry Jack still available?

Guzman y crowmez?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Tom Morris off the cuff on Furnace - we’re open to splitting 4

Lol, has he missed all our club officials saying we are taking #4 to the draft.

We don't have spots for another pick either.

What a numpty!

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Guzman y crowmez?

Love Mexican food, but not Guzman.

Zambero much better for starters.

Its not irrelevant at all.... we dont even have a list spot for that pick so i wouldnt get my knickers in a knot

 

[1990crow]

Still think 28 is way overs.

Given our list spots situation (self inflicted) it's really not the end of the world.
If we could get a pick 50 odd back for points for Welsh that works.

Then next year go after Goad as a ruck prospect, and Wanganeen-Milera with our first round pick.

If we start being a consistent finals team players like Wanganeen-Milera, Phillipou, Sharp (assuming he gets drafted interstate) might look as coming home being an easy decision.

 

[Danger in Texas]

What a numpty!

I missed the bolded

But yeah pure common sense says it stays lol

 

[1970crow]

I’m using Edwards and Dowling in the midfield ahead of Berry, too

And Taylor and pick 4. All should get minutes ahead of Berry and Crouch.

 

[Runnin Blue]

Come on down, Clarry!

 

[Crow till I die]

Yeah Scorpus confirmed it

Well well well..the bet welcher in his new iteration got the Dan Curtin call spot on

 

[crow2crow]

Lol, has he missed all our club officials saying we are taking #4 to the draft.

What a numpty!

of course we're not or we would have delisted someone else to have another list spot

 

[Cromulant]

Love Mexican food, but not Guzman.

Zambero much better for starters.

Unless you like flavour.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Come on down, Clarry!

Wants to go to the Cats, but Dees refusing to trade him... for now.

I feel sick. Hamish's list has proven to work against us, just pick the best available midfielder.
