[Andronicus]

Yes, the last 20 years have taught me that everything is going to plan.

Just bowling off a long run.

 

[I Remember Bluey]

The AU falcon was actually one of the better Fords to drive. It was just bog ugly.

So who better to test drive it

Sorry Pev

+1 for ed richards, he was impressive in the guts last season when the bulldogs needed him. good user of the ball, good not slow.

also +1 for oscar allen. he's a jet

Starcevich for me.

 

[eth-dog]

Starcevich for me.

Nah. Won't get him, will cost a bit for what would be a negligible upgrade in quality.

 

[Vindicater]

Nah. Won't get him, will cost a bit for what would be a negligible upgrade in quality.

Oh and here I was thinking that Ed Richards and Oscar Allen were a genuine chance.

 

[eth-dog]

Oh and here I was thinking that Ed Richards and Oscar Allen were a genuine chance.

They actually fill needs though

 

[faible]

Fantasia

 

[boncer34]

They actually fill needs though

Ed Richards is as negligible an upgrade as Starcevich

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Ed Richards is as negligible an upgrade as Starcevich

Nah Richards is ****ing fire. His midfield work was outstanding at times last year. Would be a perfect foil for Durham and Caldwell.

 

[eth-dog]

Ed Richards is as negligible an upgrade as Starcevich

Not sure. He's been really good since moving inside. He's also a better kick than Caldwell, Durham, Tsatas, Hobbs etc.

 

[Yoda_]

Starcevic when going is in the top echelon of lock down small defenders in the competition

Don't deny that. But so is McGrath.

I think he's one of those 4th string looks good in a good midfield type. Not sure we have the quality that would keep him up.

 

[yodellinhank]

Shame he never really gets going.

 

[jannissary]

starcevic is far better than you're giving him credit for. commands their backline

 

[cavalcade]

Starcevic when going is in the top echelon of lock down small defenders in the competition

Gets ground level support from Zorko 175cm & Answerth 182cm. He just wouldn't get that for Essendon. Brisbane is a better team all round by a million miles as well.

 

[Vindicater]

They actually fill needs though

And so does Starcevich.

 

[eth-dog]

And so does Starcevich.

Not really

 

[Vindicater]

Not really

Agree to disagree

 

[bombreys]

Don't deny that. But so is McGrath.

You're overrating McGrath and underrating Starcevich - he is probably the best in the comp.

Aside perhaps from running, Starcevich is quite bit better in every way.

No, he's in a better side. He's a jet, don't get me wrong.

 

[Call Me Cake]

You're underrating McGrath and overrating Starcevic. McGrath would look almost Hodge-like in that Brisbane side.

 

[jannissary]

brisbane’s defence would be substantially worse off if starcevich wasn’t in their lineup. obviously they belted sydney in the grand final, but he was a consistent defensive force from minute one. ask any brisbane fan and you’ll hear similar. he brings their entire defence together

pidge is a fine player, but he’s far below starcevich in every category except fitness level, which even then is debatable.
