good old cement hands

He can't seem to get his hands together. hate to see at the end of a concert if he tried to applaud, could get embarrassing.

With Megan Gale being such a great catch, you'd have to wonder how old Thimbles caught her.

I wonder if she's let him hold baby yet, don't want to drop him.

Hampson and Wood are similar quality of terribleness but at totally different costs.

Stef Martin is another.

Tom Campbell at the Dogs is stuck behind Will Minson, I reckon he moves clubs and plays good footy.

Same with Jon Giles at GWS. A few on here mentioned him before the GWS got hold of him. Paying overs for Rucks is like paying 7.80 for a loaf of bread.

But he's ours now, so everything needs to be done to get him up the scratch. I like Juffa's thoughts of getting his footwork right when flying. Get his eyes tested, get him doing hand eye coordination drills. This summer needs to be nothing but contested marking when not doing weights or running.

If Ol Hampster was a dinosaur hed be a TRex notice the resemblance ?

 

[69 vintage]

Maybe they should check his eye sight he couldn't even hold a chest mark on the vfl highlights video .

In the Sunday Hun yesterday Jon Anderson wrote an article about the dearth of "real" ruckman. Mentioned how 1 ruck man a few weeks ago took 3 bites of cherry and still dropped the mark...un opposed. When said ruck later did take a mark he was meet with Bronx cheers.

Wonder who he was referring to .

Notice Cam Wood is doing well at Northern Blues. Carlton played the fame far better than us. We gave up what was pick 28 for their spud and they wisely got their ruck "insurance" as a mature rookie pick.

Hampson and Wood are similar quality of terribleness but at totally different costs.

Carlton spent a 1st (or was it 2nd?) rounder getting Warnock to play with/back up Kruezer. They got Wood as a back up to them, the equivalent of Stephenson for us.

and Wood is way worse than Hampson. At least Hampson can win the ruck.

Statistically they're very close. The aforementioned article mentioned that Wood got 77 hit outs in the weekend and 66 HOs a few weeks ago. Not saying Wood is good or anything but on par with Hampy.

He makes Trent Knoble look like Simon Madden
The worse trade in AFL history

Who should the club have taken at pick 32?

(I'm assuming we couldn't have stowed the pick until this year's draft. Am I right to assume that?)

Cam Wood for pick 14 from the pies would be worse IMO.

 

[Tygrys]

Cam Wood for pick 14 from the pies would be worse IMO.

St Kilda giving away pick 16 for Andrew Lovett trumps them both, although arguably Hampson remains our worst trade since Pitura.

In hindsight I reckon the Schulz (Will probs win the Coleman this year) for Farmer and pick 71 was worse there for us.

This isn't a fun game for us to get into though.

Yep that's still pretty stinky. Ours is bad but not that bad.

The Lovett deal is ok, value wise. Speedy wingman for a side that was definitely in a its premiership window that lacks speed makes sense. But the ramifications after the deal was done have been horrific. But don't forget, Andy Lovett was a super footballer, everything we lack right now. Andy Lovett at his best gets a game in any side. Jarrod Picket is a very similar type of footballer.

callum toomey has JP available at our pick at this stage scooper. love to see us trade up and land him and clem smith.

With Megan Gale being such a great catch, you'd have to wonder how old Thimbles caught her.

This is the problem - When you have a super hot Missus you often spend more time worrying about keeping her than doing your job.

I personally had a very lucky experience where for a brief three month period I punched way (way way!) above my weight. everything about the model girlfriend was true (super hot, super good at the horizontal tango). Alas every time we went out every guy in the pub/bar/cinema/restaurant would make moves on her. Drove me insane, stressed me out and inevitably she hooked up with another guy.

Too late for Cymbols but it must do his head in....

I'd stay away from Clem Smith. Just a little untidy for me.
