Anyone know where Kerr is at? We kept him on the list and booted Setanta, who clearly wd have been handy at the mo. If Kerr can't get a gig when Garlett can't get near it, but is continually rewarded for bad form with games. Hendo injured after one game , how predictable. Great to see Levi and Bell get a gig but will be very tough, Esp for Levi. Maybe we could come up with a radical plan, maybe no ruck man but an extra mobile player to exploit Minson on the ground....hang on, Ratts is coach, no chance of any imagination, be no stats to support anything radical. Lucky we just signed a third first ruck for another 3 years on the back of 35 games over4 years at $400k a year....hang on, he got himself suspended after being dropped to the 2s, so when we need him, he's in the stands. We are a train wreck. We had a great chance to build a side from the draft and we have blown it. It is so infuriating to see us back at rebuild stage, and when I hear talk of who we are going to get from other clubs I shudder, another overpaid underperformer who we swap high draft picks for. Look at north, the list is all their draft picks, no swaps. Why couldn't we do that, what has happened to JR, Bower, Lucas, why are players going backwards, why have we got so little out of picks from late first to 3rd round. We are headed to our longest ever flag drought. I think it stands atv23 years. It is so depressing. 18 years next yr and no hope till we rebuild.
I should restrain.... Got to restrain..... Cant get sucked into this again...... Damn it...
1) "We kept him on the list and booted Setanta": How is he travelling? Where does a person 8 yrs into the system with still no understanding of the game fit into a premiership team? Would he get a game at CW? He would be laughed out of vic park.
2) "Hendo injured after one game , how predictable": If it was predicted for him to be injured after 1 game that is a huge legal issue that (if you have been near any doctor in the last 5 yrs) Docs wont be within 10 mile of. You are talking about docs names, reps and dollars on the line - for one game?? And the thought from another poster that Ratts would over rule a docs recommendation?
3) "Ratts is coach, no chance of any imagination": - Duigan V Collingwood - was that someone else's move?
4) "no stats to support anything radical": See above
5) "Lucky we just signed a third first ruck"... Collingwood, Geelong and Hawthorn would like 1 let alone 3.6) So 2 injured ruckmen is not a key we need a third always as back up?
7) "We had a great chance to build a side from the draft and we have blown it": yeah Marc Murphy has had half the stats of last year. Judd was a waste of Kennedy.
"It is so infuriating to see us back at rebuild stage": Let me ask you something - back at round 3 with a basically full list - were you saying we should rebuild?
9) Look at north, the list is all their draft picks, no swaps: Correct me if wrong but just about at full strength? How did they do early in season? How would full strength NM go against full strength Carlton in a final nuts on the line?
9) "We are headed to our longest ever flag drought": Keep the faith man, keep the faith
That was a good move. Now it's just a matter of working out which one to trade. We should be able to get something of value.
