As their bodies mature it will get you one rung higher. Credit to Geelong the way they set up behind the ball and attacked contests in waves at full speed with bigger bodies physically wearing the swans down. Swans always had plenty of numbers at the contest but couldn't get their hands on the ball. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmerjo Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Reflecting back i got a scare in the pre show entertainment. It was when the football was being delivered to the G. I was gazing at the telly but not really listening,next thing i see a parachute hit a passing jet liner. Did anyone else notice it? Took a few seconds to see what was playing out and get the heart rate down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got some pace but looks a fraction soft. Guru Will...has gone a little backwards, is in my opinion played out of position....Goodwin has done a Jesus Christ on the fella....first half back then half forward, then back in the back line, yes you like to get your guys to play a few positions, my take is he is a natural winger...Has pace is a racking long kick on the run and can kick goals, hes a fair tackler but not defender class in my opinion.... The dicked around with first with Brashaw (which worked) then Jordan this year.......(which was sort of ok) its just crying out to stick Hunt there.....and i will shoot an email off tomorrow to Simone...make sure hes got the word... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmerjo Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 With the granny over it's time to get the deadwood off the lists and pick up some X factor talent. My club the Kangaroos are like a pub with no beer. Luckily even without a spiritual leader there are a couple of players willing to walk the plank from other clubs. Looks like Patch Adams will continue on as caretaker till Clarkson starts. Listening to Ralph last night that might be a while away but good to see our Pres has backed in the future coach. According to Ralph the families are not willing to testify to an independent panel which is prolonging the saga. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexRRR Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Well the hot gossip this morning is DeGoofy could go west....to clear the air so to speak....so where to land? We all know Freo trying to land Jacko boy so is light on for draft capital....but....the blue and gold team.....with an ageing midfield and gold plated Kelly........could it be on? Whispers in harbour town that there willing to add another 30+ brownlow medalist to the squad, its all hush hush but the talk all year is he needs to get out of the fishbowl.... Port? yes there looking at the Weed......to go by the way of Jack.......well big Tom is back and they have faith in Ben and then theres going to be Grundy and Gawn hanging in the forward 50 most of the game as well....... Bedford the little sprinter who made a name as a sub this season, isnt going to North.....Clarkson is on the nose for the brothers... Tomlinson will be persuaded to cross the city, and since he is of Euro decent we can guess that one of the blue and white teams severally lacking in experience will cough up a 4th round pick for him... Its all good fun....... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt if De Goey comes West and WC are the most risk adverse side in the comp. Doubt we'd look at him with his "bad boy" history. Not sure about Big Tom being back. Word on the Soi is that he's had another setback with his ankle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom has 6 months to sort it out......no hurry ron.....Casey won the flag dropping one game all year...so im expecting to see some new blood next season..... Weed.....i recon he is looking around, another crucifixion here, you just got to play blokes like him and if you need to carry him you carry him, he would be just as useful as some of the other freeloaders in the team we had this year.... My post this morning is a stir im killing time before i head out......in between coffees the the system isnt functioning to good....i could have done better but thats my excuse..... Eagles always bounce back.....Tigers are doomed....loading up on FA, so far im happy the way the dreadful dees have used FA or traded for a particular position and relied on fresh young blood....so far.....the cupboard is chock a lotto full why we need Grundy is a mystery to me.....you know....id be running the weed next year...tell him its make or break...yeah yeah i know...you dont give up on a 200cm guy to easy.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRRR Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Just seen...Hunt on Eagles radar.....well im pretty sure the ex Essendon duo of Melksham and Hibbered will get a new deal.....well offered a new deal, and i think Hunt will get offered a deal too.....i cant see them hanging on to Oscar Baker you can have him, but....we do need to freshen up the list... Not the end of the world if any of the trio depart but if any Hunt is the likely one, he is way more easily covered than the other two. Anyway im all for moving a few on you see what happens when you hang on to some players to long... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRRR Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Trade week opens and right away the press are onto Hunt and Eagles......dont get excited Will, Hunt is a good player pretty sure unless you offer an unreal contract Demons will match it, they haven't got a contract offer on the table yet and id say there looking to see who's interested in him and maybe what they could get for him, or what they have too match or do better to keep him, like hes worth wouldnt be easy to hit on the head as hes one of those types of players who could be worth tons to one and peanuts to someone else, and like i said there got options in the rear half of the ground but at the same time Simone rates him.....i rate him too....

In our situation i would have had Scott back if needed and i wanted him gone at the time. Not happy with Josh Jenkins saying Louge is worth more,paying on potential is a dangerous game. I can see why our recruiters got the flick as we start the draft with picks 1 and 55. Let's hope Jack Bowes comes our way,i like him as he has a cool head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, how poor must Lever have been this year to finish 19th after playing 19 games? hahah i said dont get excited, Jaden is not a free agent we can match what ever is offered to him, Demons do think highly off him, of course if the Eagles put a high offer in id say we wouldnt match it, so there you go.... Im looking at the leaderboard now....2 Petracca got there by reputation, Viney had the best preseason in eons they said id rate him around 10th....Picket must have picked up most of his votes the last 3rd of the year, Sparrow.....only because he was on the ball a lot...and thats my point....mids were spraying it...love him still young but not 9th, Neal-Bullen did have a good year, Jordan was a bit of a dud in my opinion and to be in the top 13 im spitting my beer out... My rating and i do watch every game is Oliver Brayshaw May Langden Gawn Petty Leaver Harmes Neal-Bullen Petracca Viney Fritsch Hunt Pickett Jackson Getting the ball you need to do something with it...Hunt i rated around 13th in the team that finished 2d so there you go even 19th in a team that finished 2cd is still an achievement... Id say Eagles will need to trade for Hunt unless you offer him a big contract as im sure we will match anything reasonable....not in the bag...... Brad Scott coached with one arm tied behinds back there Fj, i recon he will do well at the Bombers, there a destination club, Hird? ummm.....wont senior coach a gain....i thought he was a front runner .... Sheedy....well.....he coached so long cause he cut players that would cause him issues....they turned over a lot while he was there....i recall thinking gees they get a lot of new players coming in.....he had is core 5 or so and had them on side, thats one of the reasons he lasted so long... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmerjo Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Confirmed,Jason Horne-Francis wants a trade to Port Adelaide. Looked a bit home sick last year so let him go or hope after another season he feels at home. My gut is let him go,for a price of course. Ollie wines or Dan Houston and a future first rounder will do me. Pity as think he will be a gun in 5 or 6 years time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
