hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Marcz showing his true age!!

what about David Astbury from tigers. While he is tall he showed in NAB last year he could run with the ball while still providing a good overhead mark. He burnt so many last year early on and then got injured. Rookie priced (sort of) this year he could go under the radar with all the other Richmond def (Conca, Lids, Houli, Ellis, Morris). Not expecting 100 average but more like a high 70s to low 80s

Nope from me. Burnt me last year (i know why the flower did you have him ::))

I had him just like I had Stuart Crameri until I got cold feet and gave both the flick on the Thursday of round 1 last year.

everyone is expecting him to average 100 so im not sure he is a smokie

The F.A.R.K.

Would you consider Steven Salopek... anyone out there that would defs would have balls but before you all jump on me for even suggesting it hear me out. Yes he has been frustrating through his career but I heard the other day that Primus wants to rejuvenate his career and his best is still ahead of him. He has been training real hard especially on speed training to try and get back up to AFL standard.
Year  Av
2003 28
2004 46.9   
2005 24.6
2006 79.1
2007 80.1
2008 94
2009 84.9
2010 71.7
2011 70.9

Now 2012 will be 5 years since his 94 year but he only turns 27 in June so as a footballer he should be starting to reach his peak. Obviously since about 2008 port have been a very bad side (or since 2007 gf) so everyones average would have dropped and while im not expecting them to come top 4 or even top 8 this year I reckon they can probably improve on their 15th place last year and get a few more wins. Add Brad Ebert to the 2011 as well as John Butcher and Brent Renouf and there is a lot of potential there. A fit Justin Westhoff and a firing Kane Cornes and Boak wouldn't hurt. With this lineup there is room for improvement which should mean a slight increase across the board in DT scores. Add that slight increase and the way he has been training preseason and I reckon that Salopek could get back to peak form. It has happened to plenty of players in the past. A form slump for a few years then a huge comeback year. Im not expecting premium status from Salopek or a 100 average but just for him to get back in the team as one of their top players like he was in 2008 and get close to his 94 average. At his price he could come in as a handy cash cow who if he does break into premium an absolute steal.

Saying all this my balls are still growing and they just arent quite big enough to take this risk yet
