      That's always what I say too.
      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

        Don't trade Stringer. This is the right time for another club to bring him in, when his value is at its lowest, not the right time for us to sell him
        If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

          Another season like the last two and his value will be even worse.

            "GOLD Coast foundation player Brandon Matera looks set to seek a fresh start in 2018."
            Any interest? 25 yo he looked very good early on but has had some injury issues of late.

              In the glimpses I've seen, which is limited, he looks ok. His stats are impressive too, most disposals 29, most goals in a game 6.

              They're allegedly into Webb, maybe a swap.

                Does Matera work hard enough defensively? Ability wise, he'd be a good pick up .

                  He has what we lack in the type of player he is. But you also make a good point RE his defensive work.

                  I'd be willing to take a punt on him.
                  More of an In Bruges guy?

                    Averaging about 17 disposals and 2 goals a game this year. Pretty decent stats

                      In a team that haven't been fully engaged to play this year, that's good. I'd happily have someone like that running around for us.

                        Would be very happy with Matera. Smart footballer.

                          He is actually the type we need. A genuine classy small forward, with terrific goal sense.

                            I've got really serious questions over his application and work rate. He's undoubtedly a talent, but there's a really high chance that being at the Gold Coast for nearly 8 years has ruined him. Takes a lot of plays off.

                              I don't think I've ever seen Matera tackle another player in 8 years but he has a fair bit to work with talent wise.
                              They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
