Footy Classified GF edition

I havent heard anything about Tim Callan going anywhere. The coach is a huge fan.

I think he's talking about out of our 22, as opposed to being delisted/traded. I agree if thats the case.

Callan is a good player to have on your list because you know he'll contribute when called upon, however he isn't a player who you consider in your best 22.

Who would you have in mind, perhaps a Roughead? I doubt Pavlich would be going anywhere and for two first rounders we are looking for a blue chip player.

I honestly wouldn't have a clue what the club is up to or who is for sale, but if we want something decent we are going to need some decent bait and two first rounders is a start. The salary cap is going to influence what we do as well.

Yep, I get it now.

Annoying how they said 'We have the GF we all wanted' - same as they said last year.

F... I hate that saying. Its like we didn't need any of the finals, dismiss the fact another team got dealt the short straw.
I really hope its a one sided GF.

I agree, I hope Geelong smash them. Not that I have any inherent dislike for St Kilda, I just couldn't stand the smugness all the so called experts (read, has beens) would be exuding if the team with the twin towers wins the GF.

Why each year do we have players wanting to leave? Power, Jordy, Faz and now supposedly Everitt? Is it most likely a situation with all of the above players being fringe players, thinking they will find a side where they will fit in and actually make the team, or a problem within the club?

It's an interesting trend, but each of those guys share some similarities (outside types that lack intensity).

I think it suggests the direction we're going and the attributes that Rocket places a premium on - maybe they see the writing on the wall and rather than try and improve themselves, they look to move on.

Begs the question, why did Clayton throw our first round picks away on guys who struggle to compete?

I think this was the issue with Power and Farren Ray (all the experts call him by both names!). Don't think it's specific to our club, happens every year to some degree.

IIRC, Jordy wanted to leave because he was having some personal problems (read: girl troubles), and in his opinion, "the previous club" didn't offer him enough support -ie- Rocket didn't jump on a plane and beg his missus to come back home. The stupid little sissy.

I hope the Saints get pumped too.

They don't deserve to be there IMO. Simple. They don't deserve the flag.

I know where you are comming from but then Geelong win it may as well be Essendon (yuk)I am soooooo confused

In fairness to Ray im not sure competiting was his problem but the rest yes.

J Grant - Does he compete? Does he have intensity? Have not seen him live so its hard to tell.
