    That deal of trading 11 for Dunkley and Collins isn't looking great in hindsight when you consider we could have taken Curnow.
    Collins is still a teenager. Much too early to tell if he will be a good player for us. Has improved this year too.

      I think sometimes fans get lost trying to get a perfect player and forget that you need role players who do their role well.

      Hamling being a perfect example.
      So what role does Roberts fulfill if Trengove comes on board? Boot-studder?

      The decision to re-sign Roberts mid year is seeming crazier by the day.

        Think he's a very limited footballer who is too short to ruck and too slow to defend.
        I think he is a better defender and forward than Roughead and like Roughead he is a good leader around a club.

        He's no star but would be very much a structure player for us hopefully meaning we could have Boyd spending more time as our key forward.

          I think he can relieve Boyd of a lot of his tasks allowing him to spend more time forward.
          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

            I'm not sure of that. Depth at key positions isn't something we've been renowned for. It might make a pleasant change having both players to call on in defense, putting pressure on an otherwise quite young and inexperienced group. Adams isn't the most durable, Collins has played 1 game, Young half a dozen. Take into account form fluctuations with those guys and all of a sudden it's not so crazy having a 50 plus game Premiership defender pushing for selection.

              Bit early to make a call on Collins. Reckon he's getting a good grounding at the lower level .
              Bigs can sometimes take time , and supporters need to exude more patience.

                If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

                      I like that the club is pro active. If we miss out we miss out. But we seem to be giving it a good hot go. That is all a supporter can wish for.

                        What about Scott Thompson from North. Out of contract & has been a good player for them for a long time & would fill a hole for us. Have to say though, i can't stand him.

                          I could never support him. In fact I'd like Cordy to punch him in the head in every pack mark situation.

                            I do feel the same BT but i felt that way about Barry Hall as well. Anyone that decks Chris Grant is not someone i ever want at my club but once he wore the tri colours i had to support him.

                              No. No way. Not ever. No.

                                Scott Thompson is a shadow of his best from several years ago.




                                And he's a knob.
                                I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
