Call Your "Boys"

[davey_magik]

I call Sam Blease .

 

[Bartram_Class]

As for Watts, I think he can be everyones boy.

The public bus if you will, everyone hops on for a ride. Or village bicycle, but hes better than a bicycle.

 

[whelan=legend]

I'm calling Bail as a bit of a somkey

Reckon he will suprise alot of people next year, won the QAFL rising star award ahead of Dayne Beams!

 

[Deenamite]

I call Barry Prendergast. Impressed me a lot throughout this week and those leading up to it. *

*NOTE: not willing to accept any responsibilty for the decision to draft a plethora of small/medium midfielders over more needed KPP.

 

[melbournemartin]

Blease and Strauss.

Our dynamic duo in the midfield for years to come.

I'm also jumping on the Jesse Ryder bandwagon

 

[KickLongTackleHard]

I'll call Robbo, will be back in 09 and take at least one more speccie for the red and blue.

Dale Steyn - bowls wheels, look forward to seeing him on Aussie decks.

Joe Cole - Lamps was taken but I love this guy almost as much, great feet.

He is mine .

 

[Oscarman]

I'm adding Jamie Bennell to my list, but if Casey Sibosado gets onto the main or rookie list Casey will be one of my 'boys'.

The definitive off-season thread. Please don't move it Mods, it is loosely related to the club, hear me out.

Below, you are able to name your "boys", which basically mean that as the season wears on (whether it be AFL, EPL, NFL, LPGA or MLS) you are able to take any credit for their performance or any slack for their lack of form.

Example in case,
Davey_Magik will come on at some point and probably name Colin Sylvia and Dean "Fatter than Frank" Ashton among others. As the season wears on, any poster could, without remorse, refer to Colin as DM's boy Colin Sylvia if they felt like slagging him off when he attempts to shrug his way out of another tackle on QB.

However, if you don't name them below, they aren't and will never by "your boys".

Bearing in mind, you may name a player thats already been mentioned but sloppy seconds are a dirty business.

A few ground rules -

1. A maximum of two Melbourne listed players.
2. Juice is off-limits, as if he would be anybody's boy.
3. No-one can have Jack Watts yet.

Other than that, anything is fair game. General Sport discussion is acceptable, lets kick it through to Draft Day with a bit of well meaning chat.

*Bump*

There's been a bit of bumping of late and I think this thread deserves to be included. Interesting read going over this.

I could name nearly every player under 22 as well as some quality senior players to boot such is my anticipation/excitement for 2010 but my "boy" for 2010 is none other than Nathan Jones - he will cut sick this year and the young stocks around him will benefit as a result.

 

[Chunkydee]

Bring on 2010, the year of the emerging DEMONS
for me it's

Daniel Bell - set for a ripping season, forget the past, this is his time to shine...
Brad Miller - let's get behind our number 1 lead up forward, im going with 63 goals this season...

 

[Dez!]

Flash Davey - Just wait for 09

Yep I'll stick with Flash seeing as I got it right before.

 

[carn dees]

Im going with straussy,
and adam maric to xplode onto the seen

 

[Bartram_Class]

I'd like to orphan Paul Johnson after the '09 he served up.

Edit: Mind-clock hasn't ticked over into 2010

 

[Dez!]

I'd like to orphan Paul Johnson after the '08 he served up.

Keep your garbage.

 

[Bartram_Class]

Keep your garbage.

I feel like Bailey in trade week now.

 

[Capt_Concussion]

I call Dunn to really dominate.....the VFL

(I just think he's been wrecked by position changes)

 

[Wise Guy Sam]

I'll give Jamar a home. He can be my boy for 2010.
I think he will really make the ruck his own this year. Had a few injuries in 09 but when he got on the park he looked the goods this year. Also hope he can kick a few more goals

Does anyone know if that means I need to buy him flowers or something.

 

[Demon 86]

There's this guy at the Dees- called Liam Jurrah.

No one's called him yet but between you and me I reckon he'll be a gun

My boy Jurrah!

Also EPL- Seamus Coleman for Everton

And cricket- Smith (dirty New South Welshman- but gonna be a superstar)

 

[Oscarman]

Carlos Tevez can get ****ed. He drops out and I'm adding big Maxy, and JJ Hickson from the Cavs.

 

[RPetterd15]

I'm calling young gun Jack Grimes but would also like to know if we can choose first year players?

 

[Pjkimber]

Im going with My Boys Colin Sylvia and Austin Wonaeamirri.

Cant wait to hear Bennell to Jetta to Davey to Wonaeamirri to JURRRRRRRRRRRRRAH!

 

[Oscarman]

I'm calling young gun Jack Grimes but would also like to know if we can choose first year players?

I've already claimed big Maxy so go nuts.

 

[whelan=legend]

Scully and Trengove, bitches.

 

[RPetterd15]

damn it I edited my original post but pressed the wrong button and it didn't post... I guess I'll take Tapscott now with Grimes, also calling Mitch Marsh and Shaun Marsh.

 

[cannons]

I'm tipping Bate to have a great year.

From all reports he's looking stronger and more defined due to his work this pre-season, and with the improvement of our midfield I think he'll start to get some better service and work his way into a greater number of games.

He'll go from being a good player who attracts little attention to someone who will start to get more recognition for his hard work and ability.
