13 ex-GWS players and Liam Jones, Tutt say hello from the burbs.
Nah mate, Palmer's going to be great. They even picked him in the prelim team and you've got to be good to get a game there. So what if we got him for a pick in the 60s and they then recruited players dropped by Freo, he'll come good.

Closer to a pick in the 160's.
To be fair he was (allegedly) only picked up as a consideration for the Giants not drafting Macreadie, and is probably only going to be picked in "break glass" type scenarios.

Yeah that's the reality but I saw Blues and GWS people (a rare find indeed) talking up Palmer over the pre-season.

You found a GWS support? It's probably a AFeL programmed bot with a few typical responses to different scenarios.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Yep. I'm worried that if we delete the thread that taking him back at the end of the year when Carlton delist him will suddenly seem like a good idea.

Someone has to travel with the senior team just in case.

Nothing would make me happier than Jones finding some form and eking out another year or two.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Wouldn't it be great if he got into the team and kicked 5 or 6? Then had a purple patch and kicked 60 odd (they'd be very odd) goals for the rest of the year?
I don't think even that would fool Boulton or Silvagni but St Kilda would probably give up their first pick for him.

If a Carlton player actually starting to play well would SOS trade him to GWS?

Kind of like a promotion/relegation system.

He'd be the first Carlton player sent to work at Head Office in Sydney.
