Home for the game on the Goldie, so will be in attendance.

Come-on mate, waiting for a summary of the game

Agree PSK , we got to give these kids a decent shot at it though. I get annoyed when a young guy gets a game, struggles a bit with the tempo, and gets sent back to the Maggies. Some senior players struggle for 3/4 games, and play every week

Drizzled all night, ever get a chance good stadium. Karl was the surprise package in my eyes for the night, the scoreboard end goal was a gem, S Gray into everything, AhChoo deserves his spot on that & past form, Lobbe great to see getting another go, HH into everything, fight just down from us livened the game up, 9K people, reckon very close to being equal with supporters. After the game Hombsch, Chad, Lobbe, Young, O'Sheacame over to the Emarld Lakes Golf Club for an hour & mingled.

Throw the kitchen sink @ Dixon, & if his ankles hold up playing him at FF, if he doesn't mark it, have some great crumbers to take advantage of anything that goes to ground. Schulz, if he wants to go, (money) so be it, but thanks for the memories.

Reckon you are the favourites now for Dixon and he could be the missing link. Always thought he would go to you with his relationship with Hinkley and Shaun Hart,

Ideal replacement for Schulz if he seeks to move.

+1

Schulz needs to go, he's not a key forward, he's a second tall.

Pretty useless to us if we are missing the one crucial position (that is in the most demand). Conversely, we have an abundance of contested mids (2nd most demanded player), we could possibly swing Andrew Moore Gold Coast's way (killing two bird with one stone  :P ). Hinkley seems to be against trading players though, and despite the fact I don't expressly agree with his position, it must do wonders for the playing group's morale knowing that their friends and co-workers jobs are secure

Hopefully 'the Karl' can become a second 'Chad' (then we've figuratively cloned our best match-winner  :P ) 

Hope he can mate as rumours are very strong that Chad will be heading to Hawthorn at the end of his current contract.
Speaking with people I trust with info on the weekend it's a done deal already and the source they heard it from was Chads father.

Yeh I know it's massive hey but I do trust these people not to be jerking my chain. Still a year to go under his current contract so alot could play out before then but the word is at the minute it's a done deal. Not sure how this stuff goes on when someone is under contract but we know it does and clubs continue to get away with it. Look at us and Danger think that deal was done awhile ago also.

I'm not joking, if he leaves he will literally become my most hated player in AFL history. When he was drafted he was a spark of hope in a dark time for our club.

He told GWS he wanted to stay in Adelaide and I'm hoping he hasn't changed since then. I already dislike the Hawks for their unsociable football and held no opinion of their stealing of players from struggling clubs. However, I will hope it doesn't happen.

He's the sort of player whose departure will make other players (esp. our various Vic based players) consider leaving and the club will fall apart again. He better not have, like Dangerfield, become arrogant and entitled enough to think that he should be playing in Vic rather than SA.

Will be receive the salary cap left over from both Hodge & Mitchell (possibly Lake as well) if he leaves?

& I thought the loyalty of our players was our greatest asset under Hinkley.. If there is any truth to this it would turn out that I was wrong

I feel like a Brisbane Lions supporter does every year, just 1,000,000,000x worse because he is the sort of player who I think is capable of becoming an all time great (possibly the best player in history - could overtake Gaz)

More members than the Crows hey? I suppose The Titanic was sold out a year in advance too, and we know what happened there...

I think you'll have no trouble overtaking us again next year big fella :) Hopes were high for 2015, but not to be :(

Nah that's for Dangerfield. All the garbage about Geelong might be Huff & Puff

[fanTCfool]

Sam Gray has had a massive month, between him Amon & Ah Chee - you've been seemingly been showing your guns of the future one week at a time! We'll happily take them all at the Blues in exchange for Henderson  ::)
How stiff was Amon to miss the Rising Star Nomination last week? Good thing is I believe he can still take the whole thing out next year!

[nas]

Gray, Amon, Ah Chee grabbing everything available, & see them perform last Saturday, very encouraging for the future.

All three were very good last week and Ah Chee and Gray were good the week before also. Plenty to be encouraged about mate.
