Round 5 - Live Scores and waffle

[whufc]

Hard to recruit, when we can't get recruits jobs and stay within the salary cap. Also we've lost too many quality players over the last three years.
Also a wingman on baller that doesn't get the ball, kick goals, or kick 40 metres (Obrien) wouldn't make a premiership side (in my view).

Agree but the last couple of years we have even got recruits that havent made it to round 1.

Other teams like Sturt, West and Eagles are continuing to recruit well so there is something we are doing wrong.

The biggest criticism of us onfield i can make is that our problem areas 3 years ago are still our problem areas
-Lack of competitive ruckmen
-undersized defence
-never any more than key forward
-lack of blokes with genuine footskills

We have become a club of excuse makers.

All clubs have the same problem getting players jobs



Nice to get a win over the dogs.

Except the power , crows and bays.

Have heard another one of our 'big' recruits has left the building as well.

[Booney]

Soders just said Porplyzia looks after Westies Youth development, good for the kids there. But he also works in strength and conditioning for Adelaide. So, he helps develop players he plays against? Really?

Looks like it. Didn't like being dropped today so walked.

Done a great job with juniors right down to 12 year olds. Lose a few in draft this year I think

Another quality character by the sounds of it.

It amazes me how far away we have gone from the things the club use to believe in once we got desperate.

That alright, Kris Grant used to buy Grenville drinks before North v Dogs games thus building his strength and conditioning.

Free up a fair bit of salary cap, pity we have to wait next year. I think he thought the sanfl was going to be easier than it proved to be.

Name?

[carey]

I assume Gilbee?

[Big Phil]

Edmead- has pace (that is it) plus his a arrogant knob (still remember him telling the Gowans at training once how he finds the game easy because of how quick he is) The Gowans twins response was very interesting and not appropiate for this forum.

I'd dispute who the arrogant knob is...

If that's the only part of my post u have picked out I haven't done to bad

Correct.

Correct.

You are better off with out him. Get a kid in there that wants to be there

[Big Phil]

Gillbee very inconsistent and never really played 4 full quarters...

Disappointing if he has walked, if in fact that is true...

[cennals05]

I have just heard that Gilbee will be back. The club gave him a week off because he has some other stuff happening.

Apparently wasn't at the game today so I think people are putting the two coincidences together

I'll be slightly disappointed if he did leave, like u said he is inconsistent but his one of the very very very few players that we had who could become a match winner by breaking a game apart for us.
