[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Jones at Carlton turned himself from being a spud KPF to a very good KPD when his career was on the line

Can Billy do the same ?

It's a wooden spooners strategy imho

How is Crouch doing?

Unpopular opinion, but I think he adds something we don't have. He is deceptively elusive in close and stops and props until he can get a decent handball out to a teammmate in a better position. It is a plus that he does a lot of handballs, especially now that his brother is not in the team.

I haven't always been of this opinion, but I think we should keep him.

Unless ROB does a serious injury, he's not being replaced. He's earned his ruck spot, and no amount of bad performances are going to see it taken away from him.

No player should have an absolute mortgage on their position in the side

How long was this the situation with Jacobs, its not healthy....

I'd take him at Sturt next year TBH, we are light on for KPP depth.

It was an interesting revelation by Ebony that "the boys" think Cook is the most talented player in the club.

 

[Scorpus]

Only problem is then you risk another team picking him up as a Delisted Free Agent before we can get him in the rookie draft. Seeing as there are very few good state league ruckmen out there, you'd think that he'd be attractive to a team that would need one. Happy with him taking a list spot just to prevent anything happening.

A player accepting a DFA contract is their decision. It's not a draft. He's uncontracted as is, so him being a DFA or uncontracted makes no difference.

The only risk is someone taking him before us in the draft, which I doubt would happen

Frampton gone from hero to zero this quarter so far

You're becoming very biased and predictable. Frampton killing it with 19 possessions to halftime. (You might expect him to get a few less against the wind.)

That's how we roll though.

Look at Sloane in the midfield, Mackay on the wing, Lynch in the forward line.

We're about rewarding tenure, not performance.

At the point I made that comment he'd only had 2 touches for the quarter

It shouldne be

Im happy to give some ground for rhe captain of a club but all other positions should by earned, and kept on performances.

The DMac situation is one of footballs biggest unsolved mysteries

And with good reason too

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Strachan is worth keeping on the list for another year. Re-rookie him

That was obvious 10 weeks ago

 

[WaynesWorld19]

You blokes been playing Frampton & McAsey up the wrong end.

Scorpus says this isn't possible

 

[bigman]

Playing the wrong flank who is coaching this team

Playing the wrong flank who is coaching this team

A guy we thought wasn’t good enough to be an AFL assistant. Can only assume we couldn’t afford to pay him out.

 

[bigman]

Pedlar having a mare

 

[Scorpus]

Getting towelled up in both quarters we've been against the wind

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Can we swap Frampton with a traffic cone from the bin?

Billy our best so far

Billy on target for 60+ possessions


Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

If he gets 60, place your house on him getting 7 touches or fewer when we bring him up to AFL level next week

Hello Scorpus .....on point with your views on Frampton playing back I see .......not

You need to free your mind up & stop being closed to opportunities .....don't pigeon hole your thoughts, you're wrong way too often

Frampton has always looked good at SANFL level. His problem is AFL level where he will never make it in any role. Take it to the bank

His 21 disposals so far in defense is about as indicative of his AFL form as his 7 goals at this level earlier in the season

There's no guarantees ......but its worth a try with Frampton in DEF at AFL level

Rutten came as a CHF .....failed dismally at that, largely due the same reasons with Frampton .....no tricks and straight line runner .....but made the transition to DEF

Agreed. The history of footy is littered with people who can look great in the state leagues but never make it as AFL players. The next Gary Ablett is one of these.

But a team offering him just a marginal amount more than he'd be on with the rookie contract would be more attractive. Why stay at Adelaide on 100K rookie contract on a 1 year deal if given a 150K 2 year deal elsewhere for example. Happened with Ryan Abbott from Geelong a couple of years ago, who got delisted and then picked up by St Kilda even after being promised to be picked up again by Geelong in the rookie draft.
