Perhaps its just a contrast with all the others on tripleM these days. Spedman posted:Well this was reported yesterday: Its a double bluff. Soon all the cards will be on the table and checkmate, the race for fyfe will be won. By us! Seriously though, they dont quote any sources at all which is really strange. I doubt the club would ever confirm we werent into or were into someone 100%

Kim Hagdorn is the font of all WA footy knowledge tyvm The day before that St Kilda/Fyfe article, Cooney "wrote" a column telling Fyfe to leave Freo, one of the reasons being the mining boom is over in Perth (  ). But the only reason I can see him coming to Melb is for team success, and I don't think going to St Kilda puts him in a significantly better situation to justify the move

Really? I'd say St Kilda are far closer to the flag than Freo. A Fyfe type would put them right in the frame

Especially given how even the comp is at the moment. There's no superteam like late 00s Geelong or Threepeat Hawthorn running around, you just have to play consistent good footy at the right time.

But with St Kilda, to me, its fells like the Emperor has no clothes, every talks about how great they'll be, but I can't really see it. And thats just a personal opinion from someone who doesn't follow St Kilda very closely, so I'm sure I'll be proven wrong. And in terms of profile he won't be come a Chris Judd at St Kilda, for the very reason St Kilda isn't Carlton in terms of following/media. I'd be more concerned about him leaving it was Rich/Coll/Ess/Carl chasing him.

We should be chasing Fyfe, Gibbs, Martin, and Josh Kelly, and considering it a failure if we don't get at least two of them, but something something wrong sort of person organic growth how good are the Crouch brothers?

Fyfe would be a great fit at Adelaide but a) could they afford him and b) getting someone to move to Adelaide as always difficult

He's not entirely wrong. If you're a team that views your premiership window as "wide open" and yet aren't getting the job done, you should be chasing the kinds of players who are at that tier. And if you can't get them, you should view it as a failure. Spoiler alert: except for Gibbs (who doesn't belong next to Fyfe, Martin and Kelly), who they might get, the Adelaide Crows are almost certainly going to have a failure of an offseason.

Solemn Sloth posted:Setting your criteria for failure as two of the top ten mids in the comp (not Gibbs, but the rest yes) is actually dumb Yeah, that's a fair argument. Adelaide should be approaching all three with heavy brown paper bags stuffed with money fully expecting to get one. They will probably dip their toe in, get scared off by the bigger bids and gently caress off to masturbate to Crouch photos.

Jamie Elliot going off injured with a leg problem. I don't like to wish injury on players (except for maybe Toby Greene) but jeez I hope he's out next week, he always rips us to shreds E: Wells has done his calf again, to the shock of literally nobody except the Collingwood list manager

The sooking by Geelong fans about Hawkins copping a week is hilarious. He's genuinely stupid enough to do so a week after the AFL said that they were cracking down on jumper punches and whacking people in the guts.

And he didn't even whack him in the guts, or in the chest and have it glance up, he smacked him square in the jaw.
