Won't cover the next 12 months though. If we were to trade for Cam McCarthy, for example, then it's covered.

I'd be giving Foster more opportunity to come on. Cam McCarthy would be in our best 22 but if we end up with Schache I think we'd be going in too tall. I see Casboult as essential because of his relief rucking and that second ruck position being more important due to the sub rule being ditched, so the forward line (with Schache) would be something like...

HF: Thomas - Schache - Murphy
FF: Walker - Casboult - Everitt

There could be room for another tall rotation with the sub rule gone but I dunno.

Rohan Connelly made the point on radio today that "another station" was going on about Watson's head all game.

Sounded like high school kids picking on the fat kid.

Watson has got to be gone though surely. Shows flashes of capability but unfortunately he's only ever played forward in a rubbish team so it's virtually impossible to succeed unless you're an absolute gun. Which he isn't.

An injured Daisy is still better than half of the blokes we have.

Not really, even when he was fit he was useless. TBH I've forgotten all about him, he doesn't enter into the equation AFAIC, anything we get out of him is a bonus. I'm kinda hoping Swann and the Brisbane Lions throw something at him, after all, that's all Swann has got to offer really.
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

We decided to take Thomas instead of taking a compo pick, which ended up being used on Cam.

Cripps, McCarthy, Weitering,  Schache use pick 7 last year and that's a pretty solid spine to rebuild off.

Rice on a HBF, SOSOS, sort Yarran out. Still have Gibbs.

But it's Carlton and we would have picked a Sporn type instead of Cam

McCarthy was next on list that year, we would have taken him if we had the pick.  I think we used it on Cripps instead.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Nah, Daisy has put in some really good efforts for us when he could get out there.

The problem is he can't get out there.

I hold out hope that this changes, because he is the only player on our list that has won a flag and knows what it takes.

Daisy has stunk it up until he moved to half back at which point he was serviceable butanother HBF at 700k is the last thing we needed.

What else would those dickheads focus on?  Oh yes, they did slip in the odd innuendo about Dick.

Watson shows glimpses much in the same way that Jones does.  I suspect that Watson has more chance of success than Jones, if he goes to one of the middle six teams.

The half back position doesnt really exist anymore.

You have key defenders 1 (Jamo), 2 (Rowe), and a mid size coming in 3rd (White/Jaksch), a back pocket negator who generally minds a small and occasionally gets up the ground (Yarran, Buckley, Docherty, Tuohy), and the other two rotate through the wings (Yarran, Docherty, Buckley, Tuohy).

Sometimes you mix them up depending on whether or not you are playing a plus one behind the ball, or matchups, or even resting on field, rather than on the bench.


The west coast game last year he was outstanding.  Likewise, he was really good against Sydney this year before going off.




Its still a hope that he will come good more than anything, but anyway.  Its true we cant afford to waste that much money in our cap, but I cant actually see where its going any more.  Unless we are front loading everyone which we might do moving forward.  Not many big contracts left, and not many coming in.

I agree, Watson can be serviceable as a KPP at either end, we have too many serviceable players which probably stamps his papers.

Jones is a very unfortunate situation for us. MM really did a number on our club, sons of former team-mates, sons former players he coached, blokes on long contracts who could not get a kick at other clubs, best buddies on a superannuation boost and Daisy. I'm not too fussed about Daisy because when he gets on the park he puts in, the issue is what he is capable of isn't worth what he gets remunerated, Daisy is not Chris Judd!

If you look into those last few years too closely you could end up paranoid! ;)

The contracts are irrelevant. Are you telling me MM who was brought in as head coach and Saviour had zero influence over the choice of players, staff and coaches?
