And brains...Has too many teeth?

Every club would enquire every year about the top five players of every club to see if they could shake something loose.Pretty sure GS has legitimate sources as without knowing him personally it comes across he was a part of or heavily involved with the club at some point.
His delivery was salty, rumor may still be legit.
Again, that was fabricated. Know it for a fact he never entertained the pies approach and certainly never did a medical with them.IIRC ... Was interested in moving to Pies a while back. Reportedly failed the medical.
Unless the source is an AFL journalist, the rumour has no credibility.
Are we really talking Kreuzer?
Forget it. Won't, can't nor will be going anywhere.
Pity we couldn't make good of moving on Murphy in 2017, before we gave him another year of leadership.
Would have killed a few birds with the one stone, forcing Docherty & Cripps into leadership roles earlier, as difficult as that may have been.
The time to move Gibbs on, was perfect and the net result should start shining through soon enough.
I was at the club last night and bolts was there running things business as usual. Sounds like bull$hit to meWe had a board meeting last night, where Bolton fronted it, so that rumour needs to be called out for the blatant ******** that it is.
Would have been 12 dimensional chess had we pull that off - adulate the skipper, give him the B&F over the superior Krooz & Doc, to shift him on to a contender - but what could a contender have offered us in a weak draft year?
Of course. Would have been a bad look but a bold one that only a very strong club could pull off.
Murphy would have wanted to be willing as much as GWS would have wanted to be willing to take him.
Murphy & Gibbs were the two prime names being floated around that 2014 - 2016 period for trading out and it just felt wrong then.
When Gibbs did go, it was the perfect time and opportunity for us.
I felt the same way about Murphy in 2017, but it just wasn't to be.
This may be a bit discursive, but I'm convinced that Tom Rockliff is close to the biggest missed opportunity we've had, more so than Saad/Shiel/Smith. We desperately needed a senior midfield body to replace Gibbs and the loss is amplified by Murphy being a 'nothing player' since last year. Now we're stuck lamenting Murphy as the last man standing - but it didn't necessarily need to be this way.
Really? Rockcliff?
I feel that in the wash it will be Shiel, because if we did somehow pull-off a last minute bid for him and usurp a stubborn Dodoro, he'd be playing for us now and we wouldn't have this 'Have we made a mistake trading with Adelaide?' scenario rolling on.![]()
Rockliff, I **** you not. We don't need stars, we need big bodies who can win the ball, kick goals, and do it all with a nasty edge over four quarters. And for no loss of draft currency.
Feel he would have made for a terrible 'cultural' fit for the CFC.
Also not sure an expensive 29 year old (effectively 28 in '17) may have been particularly high on the CFC agenda, regardless of what may have bandied about in regards to our interest in him in 2017.
Bolton will coach the season outRumour on Twitter bolts sacked tonight ?
I call BS
Thanks for the info, always much appreciated.Bolton will coach the season out
And beyond ? ...Bolton will coach the season out
Exactly if TDK was a year older and getting games this year instead of being injured Kruezer because of his ongoing issues should be our backup ruck next season .I don't understand this Kreuzer talk. We can't keep him on the park, why would anyone else want to take that risk?
Thanks B70.Bolton will coach the season out
Oh god............this "if only" mentality is seriously doing my head in - serenity now, ffs...........This may be a bit discursive, but I'm convinced that Tom Rockliff is close to the biggest missed opportunity we've had, more so than Saad/Shiel/Smith.
