I think If we do go all out in getting Smith and Oliver we should get Stringer as well. Would come cheap and we need to replace Hawk.

The club hate Stringer after he pissed a lot of people off during his last visit, he will never be a Geelong player

 

[Strange Cat]

What do you mean you could go on? Do you think our list is in good shape once our veterans all call time?

sighs

This is really coming across like a troll post, you can’t even get the coach name right and claiming that the list is in for a long rebuild when we had just played in the prem with the youngest list we have had in nearly 10 years.

Trying to give the benefit of doubt but it’s not a good start

What does Brad Scott have to do with anything

Clearly a troll.

Our coach is Don Scott. Everyone knows that.

Hey guy, long time reader and first time poster. I created this account to post my thoughts. I feel like I am the only one worried about Tasmania coming in and us chasing after Baley Smith and Oliver. I’m worried we will fall like Richmond or Collingwood if we get these players. Oliver is a good player when he is healthy but has questionable skills. Bailey Smith is an over rated player with bad skills and is too busy looking at himself in the mirror. Both players have had their issues with illicit drugs and I’m just worried they would be a bad influence on the young ones who are easily persuaded like Tanner Bruhn and Coutney Dempsey.

This is supposedly the super draft with talent that bats off deep into the draft. Shouldn’t we be keeping our first pick or trying to get more draft picks before tassie come in. With Dangerfield, Stewart, Cameron, Dunc, Touie, Blicslavs, Stanley, and Guthrie all potentially retiring next year I think we need to start getting Youth in.

I would much rather spend our first pick on a young good player like Finn Ossulivan, Jager Smith or Dan Frazzle.

Also how long does Brad Scott stick around for?? Will he do a Hardwick and go off to Brisbane like the media were reporting earlier in the year? He has done a great job but it’s hard to stay motivated when you have to start a long rebuild.

Anyway I’ve had a few wines tonight and could just be losing it. Maybe someone will help straighten me out or help me not feel as nervous for our future.

If you are serious …. how do we get the picks required to get OSullivan or JSmith …

If we had a pick ..lets say P4 … than we would take that to draft and get BSmith thru another means. But we have 17 ..which will become 20 ish on draft night.

They way we draft and trade is trying to maximise the draft capital one gets from finishing high and utilise the attraction we have for players …the types that give one instant punch to the side…. just as we did with Danger.

We have sevral young players on the list ..some playing , some in development … OHenry.Bruhn were both top 20 picks Dempsey is a rising star. Holmes our B&F winner... what our side need to reinforces its next 5 years is middle 20 play now talent of a significant standard.


Who is Dan Frazzle?

Hi Greg thanks for dropping by.

I don't think there's any way imaginable we'd get a Finn O'Sullivan, Jagga Smith, or anyone that changes the game much for us more than Smith would. Bulldogs lose a bit on exchange which always happens. Best available for us there is probably Taj Hotton.

Also interesting you mention that we should go the youth route when we've already been on that road for a few years and it and to be paying off.

I think the worst case scenario for us is becoming North Melbourne after they dropped 1300 games experience. Their problem wasn't so much not having good kids, their problem was they couldn't attract external talent to grow with them and instead kept adding kids who in turn needed more direction and coaching. We have added kids, we need to add the big guns.

Our previous coach Bon Scott was a bit of a loose cannon

Michael Scott while at times was a good coach for us by understanding his players strengths and weaknesses he also spent too much time focused on unimportant things.

He was a bit theatrical really

You know how you mentioned how we've probably got a Richmond nuff on here somewhere with an alt? I think we may have found him.

Piss poor really. You at least have to pretend you know what you're talking about. It sells the facade.

I mean, I'm a Hawthorn supporter, but I spend enough time here that idiots think I actually support this club.

It's all part of the act.

Yeah I always wondered how he got the job in the first place

You're a Hawks supporter? I thought we were all secret port adelaide supporters.

Narkle looks every bit the footballer he did a few years ago. Not on the field though, just the photos.

I chop and change, but I like supporting the greatest evils mankind has ever faced. It's kinda like my kink.

Genghis Khan, Pot, Mao, Stalin, H!tler, Brereton, they're all on my wall.

I thought everyone did that?

3/10 attempt

The point of the troll post is to be believable

 

[cats_09]

It got deleted? Lame

2/10 effort there. I’m heading back to the Tigers board where the CFL and sHocking can’t hurt me anymore.

Peace

Correct that the thread was cleaned up a little

Normal procedure when a post is deleted is that subsequent posts which quote it are also deleted

It's also pretty clear we've ventured a bit off the trade discussion track - cleaning up helps stop that venturing further into unnecessary territory

Don't worry, I'll help get us back.

Troll keeping us up late. Poor old cats_09 probably has to work tomorrow with delete finger bandaged.

FootyLad0 it's sad that people won't appreciate that brilliant comedic timing.

Poor FFF was a short lived phenom. A candle that burned twice as bright for half as long, one might say.
