i don't think will is much of a deep thinker and tends to just spew out hot takes as they come to him. also joins a long line of ex-players who seem to have nfi about list management and trade values. don't know why people get so worked up he puts out some okay products. helps having skeeter there as a more reasoned voice though. i have no doubt that when we're back up and about he'll be our number 1 fan.

Yeah when him and skeeta debate something it reminds me of a 12 year old that thinks he knows everything arguing with his old man

Skeeter must have alot of splinters on his arse cos he sits on the fence so much.

I love Schoey, don't think he's out of line towards the club tbh.

Similar position to me.

I love lines, but don't think I'd do one out of Schoey at the club tbh.

Some nice stuff about improving and that this year wasn’t viewed as a success in anyway but there’s not a lot of specifics

“We’ve got pick No.3 this year and then No.23 as it currently stands. How do we position ourselves to bring in that talent but also, we do have a gap on our list in the 22- to 27-year-olds. If opportunities come up that we can add to it, then we look to do that as well without giving away our draft capital.

This statement is reassuring.

So what he is saying, trade away all barrass picks for some players.

I read that as we’ll trade players, not picks.

I wonder who the seven candidates are

 

[flyinghi64]

"Several"
Could be 2-3 but several sounds better and more reassuring.

 

[Bender_]

"Several"
Could be 2-3 but several sounds better and more reassuring.

Couple = 2
Few = 3
Bunch = 4
Handful = 5
Several = 7
Burgiellion = 9+

I would expect the consultant to present a shortlist of 3, no more.

 

[BeornJ]

Couple = 2
Few = 3
Bunch = 4
Handful = 5
Several = 7
Burgiellion = 9+

If we are talking about money, ten million is known as a 'Mutimer'

Five is a bag... wait, that's for goals kicked.

 

[wce4premiership]

Couple = 2
Few = 3
Bunch = 4
Handful = 5
Several = 7
Burgiellion = 9+

A Burgiellion is actually 0 but everyone thinks it's 4.

eg: He kicked a Burgiellion goals in the WAFL today.

 

[MrWoollie]

Couple = 2
Few = 3
Bunch = 4
Handful = 5
Several = 7
Burgiellion = 9+

I'd agree with a bunch of your list (couple, few, bunch and handful) but I have to disagree on several being seven. Even 'few' can be a bit variable, just not as variable as 'several'. And I use few as three.
A few is generally considered to mean between two and several. Some people use a few to mean around three, but this is not a universal interpretation.

Several is one of those more flexible amounts.

From Collins...
Several is used to refer to an imprecise number of people or things that is not large but is greater than two.

From Dictionary.com
being more than two but fewer than many in number or kind:

I can't believe it's not in the Boardisms thread - but some dude on here thought several = 7. So in my usual form of flogging the same jokes to death (but not to Dark Sharks levels) I chucked it in there.

Have you got a day off?

Everywhere I go seems to be filled with multiple Bender posts. Even random threads I've never been to before.

No, this is my job. After they fired pantskyle I had to take over as senior board spammer.
