Yes I too was very surprised at Boot's comments regarding Treloar. I thought he tried his guts out and accumilated decent figures. I also tend to agree with you that he will most probably remain with GWS.Sir Alan of Didak wrote:Nice write-up Boot, but I have to disagree with you on one point...Adam Treloar. I reckon he's the best of the GWS youngsters and the most Pendlebury-like player in the league...aside form the great man himself. A complete player, both inside and out. If we could land him, I for one would be very happy. No way in the world GWS will let this bloke walk...

Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!

Who do you think are the youngsters that we should aim to recruit this year?Lazza wrote:Yes I too was very surprised at Boot's comments regarding Treloar.

Nice to see some praise for Varcoe, I was one against the recruitment of him but he has been fantastic all year. Happy to eat humble Pie, as when ever he gets the pill, I feel the same as when Pendles does, something good will happen, clever player.
Fas seems to be one of those like Blair where there isn't a lot of love for him, thought again he was really good. Was anyone actually there and seeing our delivery to the forwards especially in the first half?
Goldy gave up 8 goals give it a rest. They only kicked 11, yeah he was caught out a couple of times but never stopped trying. Important player for us.
Taylor I don't think I've been critical on here of his disposal but I have been in my head and it's clear he has been working hard on it. A couple of bad turnovers but a fantastic game from the kid.
Don't know why but i'm not surprised the way Crisp goes about it, this is where I think we have had a massive win, our recruiting last year has been great in our development as a team and we haven't even seen Greenwood as yet.
Brown made me smile all day, just really happy for him to be out there doing what he does best, shutting down the best forward. Played every game this year after only playing 3 last year. Don't undersell how important this guy is.
Marley always been one of my favorites, he was heavily criticised there for awhile and they were saying all he wanted to do was wrestle etc, imagine the sledging and where his head would've been after the assault and people calling for him to be sacked or worse to be locked away. That's gone now and we are seeing terrific footy from Marley this year.
Very rarely do we see that 15 metre kick sideways from our kick outs, we only do it when there is nothing else. Last year we were doing it from nearly every kick out. This was a part of our game that frustrated me the most last year.
Loving that other than the drug saga for us, nothing else seems to be a problem, obviously the culture at the club is very good. Bucks deserves a lot of praise in what he has done to our great club.
Only negative for me was Seedy, lucky to get a game yesterday and didn't show he deserved the recall. After watching the replay, wondering if it's because he really is just an outside player, does not appear to like getting the ball for himself, preferring to hang back, almost looking like giving up.
Injuries aside for the GWS, believe we still had their measure, I was only worried for the first part of the second quarter where we let them play uncontested fast footy.
Loved our last quarter, Clokey owes Jamie a beer or a coffee, fed him beautifully in that last.
We are still awhile away, but who knows get Reidy back, as well as Greenwood and Scharenberg to play we might after all play finals.

My "young recruits" into the senior team would come from Abbott, Manteit, Goodyear, Maynard, Sharenberg, Freeman, Gault, Moore, Marsh and Cox. The next batch of youngsters I would like will have to come from the National draft.bkelly123 wrote:Who do you think are the youngsters that we should aim to recruit this year?
Who we should recruit are 2-3 players in the 22 - 24 year range who have had some AFL/VFL experience and can add instant depth and replacement for injured players but who don't need player developing right from the start.

I hope fans don't get too carried away with the win on the weekend.
The Giants were competitive for 3qtrs, but the number of injuries they had during the game caught up with them in the final qtr. Hence the score blew out.
We still make enough mistakes, that Bucks will know we have huge improvement to be made, if we hope to beat the Dockers and Hawks, in the first two games after the bye.
At least, we are in a good position to play finals this year.

I've had enough of the selection committee, sure as hell I'm not going this week.
