[NICK THE PIE MAN]

You know we have problems when you say we should have Jarred Molloy at full forward. Your right Joffa, it will be a long time. God Help us.

There has been a bit a talk about McKee here is a grab from Colin Wisbey from the other board (lol)

"Pre-trading, even Balmy and Judkins stated we MUST get a backup ruck for Josh. i.e. They talked as if they didn't even consider McKee an option. That's the trouble when you take a synchronised swimmer, give her a sex change op, and expect a contact ruckman to pop out of the water."

It would have worked if the damn water wasn't contaminated!!!

MINE IS AS FOLLOWS
B) R BETHERAS S PRESTIGIACOMO B KINNEAR
HB) T LOCKYER M RICHARDSON S BURNS
C) N DAVIS N BUCKLEY P LICURIA
HF) B HOLLAND A ROCCA T LANE
F) C TARRANT J MOLLOY G FREEBORN

E) R SHAW J CLEMENT H SCOTLAND


***********************************************************
WELL I'D RE-JIG THAT LIST AND REMOVE MCKEE, WASLEY, LANE AND BETHERAS
TO LOOK LIKE THIS

B) T LOCKYER S PRESTIGIACOMO B KINNEAR
HB) J CLEMENT M RICHARDSON S BURNS
C) N DAVIS N BUCKLEY R SHAW
HF) B HOLLAND A ROCCA L DAVIS
F) C TARRANT J MOLLOY G FREEBORN
R) J FRASER S OBREE D ADKINS
I) B JOHNSON, C STEINFORT, A UKOVIC, P LICURIA

BRING JOHNSON ON FOR A BIT FIRE AROUND THE FORWARD LINE AND STEINFORT TO SHUT DOWN THE OTHER TEAMS BEST MIDFIELDER WHILE GETTING SOME GOOD TOUCHES HIMSELF

HAD TO REMOVE MCKEE HE'S SHIT WONT BE MUCH, WASLEY TOO MANY TURNOVERS AND IS COSTLY CAUSE HE'S SO QUICK HE GETS THE BALL THEN
JUST TURNS IT OVER. R SHAW ON THE GROUND AS THE BOY HAS PACE AND SKILLS AND WE HAVE TO KEEP BUILDING OUR TEAM. CLEMENT ON THE BACK FLANK AS IS FAVOURED POSITION AND HIS SKILLS ARE SOLID FOR THE PIES TO BENEFIT FROM HIM BEING THERE.
UKOVIC UNLESS I'VE MISSED SOMETHING HAS TO COME BACK FROM INJURY - TOOK BETHERAS OUT OF THE TEAM SORRY MICHY. UKOVIC HAS MORE PACE AND SLIGHTLY BETTER SKILLS. NOT SURE IF SCOTLAND WOULD BE WORTH PUTTING OVER LICURIA AS LICURIA CAN BE KING OF THE TURNOVERS AS WELL, LEAVE THAT FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO COMMENT ON.
NOW THATS A YOUNG TEAM BUT THATS WHERE THE OPTIMISM LIES. A FAIR BIT OF YET TO PROVE THEMSELVES PLAYERS ON THAT TEAM BUT ALL HAVE WELL RATED ABILITY. BEST REMOVE THE DEAD WOOD, LIKE MCKEE, WASLEY AND LANE AND MOVE FORWARD. LETS NOT PERSIST WITH MEDIOCRE PLAYERS


E) R BETHERAS T LANE H SCOTLAND

Hasn't Lane been delisted?

Ask not what your club can do for you. Ask what you can do for your club.

As my mates keep tellin me, I've picked a good time to be living overseas. If thats the best we got, we are going to be last or second last, although hopefully we can pick up a few goers in the next draft(s). But, I'm lookin at another 2 years before we have any real chance.

[Newelly]

Can't remember lane being mentioned on the delistings but he might have been - if so no terrible loss. Well yeah London Dave besides the man Buckley no players strike fear into opposing coaches hearts, we really only have the element of surprise which in turn won us 5 games straight at the start of the season, though some of those players have matured and will be better this year but I can't see a huge improvement on last year - considering we won 5 straight but only won 7 in total its difficult to see us improving much on 7 wins if we do at all. The Saints will be better than us this year - thats a given with all the players they got. Who is going to finish below us?? Wet Toast are on the way down but not so much that they would expect to finish below us, tho its possible.

[jeff#2001]

Wasley is a very good player

had a few injury probs this year and could not find form
like the other 40 ODD PLAYERS or whatever

But give him a go im tipping wozza to win the chazzy brownlow

GO WOZZA U LEGEND!!!!

WOZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZAAAA

Lets not all be too negative, fair enough it wont be the best side in the competion but we have to be realistic we dont have the hirds, loydds the blumfields.. But in time we will have we will be a force to be reckoned with, it might take a while but we will get there. I know its hard but we have to stay supportive, support the team we have now and for future years we will have the team we all have dreamt about!!!!!!
.......... I hope
