Am I the only one not excited by Cockatoo?

Not a fan either

Welcome to cfc nakia cockatoo

What's this about nakia

 

[FootyGeek]

Well Elliott bled navy and the club as successful on his watch.
Taking the AFL to court was even quoted by "Collo after he got his pockets full" but made him feel better I bet. At least he admitted he was wrong, unlike you and some others......Worked for Essendon btw.
As for AVCO....we'll they did give us good money, so not sure your point!!

There you go people of bigfooty.

Whenever you read a Surrey post always remember he advocates for Carlton to follow recruiting and list building policies refined in the 1970s and 1980s.

Something to keep in mind when trying to unravel the logic behind the words.

Sorry,

SOS Jnr is handy up forward , McGovern is going to be a jet anywhere he plays .

Mcgovern is 22 y.o. Playing in a forward line where he is attracting the 5th best defender. His stats per game this year were comparable to a 19 y.o. raw Jack silvagni. If McGovern played in our forward line we would probably rate him alongside casboult and jones.

Admit that you have never watched McGovern play and we can all move on.

I'd do Gibbs and 24 for the crouch brothers.
Stick big fat contacts in there face make them want to be traded home.

I'm saying that SOS wouldn't have low-balled Tuohy's contract if things weren't already in place. We would have signed up Tuohy for sure if we didn't think the return on him was more valuable.

I admire your faith and hope you are right but I read the contract was pretty reasonable - how could SOS possibly anticipate Tuohy's worth given North were the original suitors and Geelong have zero picks to offer us?

What's this about nakia

Nothing...

I would compare him more to Jack Darling in his first year.

 

[SurreyBlue]

It's easy to be critical.

What do you think the club should do to get a "top 4" list of players?

Build an environment where players don't leave.
A winning Culture builds that. Developing the players to win and succeed makes others want it come and not leave. We have built a culture of draft picking......it should never be about draft picks. We had the most no.1 picks of any list last year and I'm sure many more top 20 picks then say Hawthorn. Where did we finish again?

Culture, pride, development and belief builds success!

It was an insulting offer (300k) given Tuohy's recent form. For that reason alone I strongly suspect SOS has been very much hard at work behind the scenes re: Tuohy.

I watch every crows game

Very mature of you....

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

I watch every crows game

And you can't see that McGovern is a potentially elite talent? Cool.

 

[The Flying Doormat]

Very mature of you....

I have my moments

McGovern is 22

If you replaced casboult as our chf with McGovern, we would be a worse side

What is it with everyone overrating crows players.

 

[Wickzki]

McGovern is 22

Has 10 years in front of him.

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

I'm not sure what that has to do with anything.

 

[My name geoff]

Im pointing out that at 22 it's not surprising to be playing the way he is

 

[dazdoggy]

McGovern is 22

Yes but jack Darling dominated at 19. Never really progressed as much as we thought he would. I think McGovern will do the same in that position. Anyway McGovern we won't be able to get

 

[Gavstar]

I read that sos laughed on here but that poster was trolling an Adelaide supporter. Is there any actual evidence of this?

Good thing we wouldn't be doing that then would we? McGovern, SOSOS, Curnow and Harry McKay with Casboult protecting their young bodies would look like the makings of a potentially extremely good forward line. Now if we can find a legitimate goal scoring small forward somewhere it'd be even better.

 

[I AM CARLTON]

Please tell me we won't be handing over pick 5 for Marchbank and Pickett????

 

[My name geoff]

I'm not sure what that has to do with anything.

I'm saying casboult is a better player but no one here rates casboult and everyone seems to be foaming over McGovern
