Internationalise the AFL!

The IAFL - International Australian Football League
And we play for the AIFL Tower!

First team can be the Siberian Saints.
Second can be the Kazakhstan Blues (#1 ticket holder - Borat)
Third can be the Alaskan Hawks
Fourth can be the Tibetan Kangaroos.
And fifth the Mongolian Demons (Very close to the snow fields. This will encourage their fans to relocate too)

But seriously St Kilda should fold and their players distributed through the draft. As retribution for the Greening attempted murder by a member of the Victoria Cuntstabulary, we should get the two Nicks and we should have a public stoning of O'Dea and Jeans at Victoria Park.

It would be good if it happenned but I can't see how our salary cap will allow us to fit in Rewoldt as well as Cousins and Judd.

[RayByrneForPOPE]

Why the hell would we want Captain Kleenex? He's the same kind of player as Tarrant a leading chf that gets heaps of possesions but doesn't kick many goals, our forward line is functioning heaps better the way it is now. Id rather wait for Nathan Brown and Reid to develop before we got this overrated Sook.

Here we go again! It's usually later, but this year it's only Rd.11 and the bullshit is flowing thick and fast!

What's the bet no one from CFC will even talk to the managers of any of the above-named players. The idea is that we, here, on these boards start talking about such things, then the managers start crowing it about that 'Collingwood sources' are discussing the aquisition of the players.

Those 'Collingwood sources' being US!

Then the Brions and Essendon't management are free to pick up everybody while everyone at Collingwood is busy fighting off accusations about big mean Collingwood poaching everybody elses players.

Could someone do a Collingwood team sheet including all the players we've been linked to in the last few years. Fev, Gardi, Judd, Pav, Stevens, Riewoldt, etc.? It would be a mighty team!

The point is, we HAVE a mighty team. I remember the 1990 guys well, I knew a few of them being the same age. Apart from Daics and Pants, they were a team of workers. Guys who played for each other. No big egos, just a bunch of guys with complete respect for their teammates (just like the great Hawthorn sides).

"if we are looking at a premiership window of 2008-2012,"

We're not, Spoljar. Keep it to yourself, but we're looking at a premiership window of Sept 20-Sept 30 '07! These guys are the real thing. There's nothing soft about them. There is no one they can't beat. Even the so-called superstars, guys like are hard workers with leadership skills and a strong work ethic. Every week has been a challenge for some reason. And we keep coming up against the odds. Even better, NO ONE is picking us! They all have picked Geelong (on the strength of 3 good games!), WCE, and Adelaid-down as premiers, which is perfect! Adelaide can't kick ten goals, Geelong will fold like a card-table, then Mooney will get rubbed out for 4 and Ablett will get injured, while West Coast will most likely all be in jail!

Our 3 losses have been in games where we were in it for most of the match, and against teams we know we can beat. Meanwhile we've come from behind in the first 2 wins, won the impossible Anzac Day match, against a hot Essendon, overcome huge odds to beat an 'unbeatable' Adelaide at home, Accounted for Caaaarlton when they were looking tough, broke the unbreakable Brisbane hoodoo, and knocked off a confident Freo who thought they were going to get another 120 point win at quarter time! All achieved by working harder and wanting it more.

These new guys are going places: I've never seen anyone work as hard as Swannie, except maybe Harry O'Brien. Heater is on All-Australian pace, and Pendles is the best new player I've seen in twenty years. Meanwhile Travis, Neon, Daisy and Dids are becoming true champions, while the elders like Burnsy, Cheesy, Presti, and Pebbles are playing career best footy. We'll win the flag this year and be a much better team next year without buying anyone from anywhere. Let's worry about the guys we have...we don't need anyone else, no matter how good.

nice, 35forever, i like it

No to Reiwoldt: Tall marking forward who cant Kick Straight don't need anymore.

No to Cousins: 29 yo Drug Riddled F---wit (thanks jay and the DR)!!

No to Judd: Would command to much from us. Not willing to give up the resources required!

Pavlich: Would love to get him. If we didn't have to give up too much ie the price must be right (it can't be with Judd)

[Tannin]

The price for Pavlich would be sky-high. Either that or the Freo management are totally stupid, which they are not. Two first rounders plus a top-up would be about right. He will stay at Freo, because even a Carlton wouldn't pay that much, and Freo would be nuts to let him go for less.

[The Prototype]

Pavlich would most likely go back to South Australia if he left Freo, at least that was the last I heard about him.

[jimbeam]

This is Grant Thomas retribution on butters, he will ruin the bloke at that club by using the players, dog act and should pull his head in, what about the supporters and other players. I think its a selfish act.
