2017 Off-Season

[Lightning McQueen]

Don't need a tool forward.

They’ve got the biggest one already!

Oi, he made the AFL "Team of the Finals".

[morell]

I think his best position is as a small running defender when it comes to the negating side of that role but his disposal can be below acceptable when he's at full tilt. Small defenders need to use the ball really well in today's game.

He's spent time as the pressure applying forward but, again, his disposal when kicking at goal can be unreliable at best.

I don't think he's ever had the midfield tank in him, certainly hasn't in the last 2 years.

Totally agree. Was always a better defender than forward. His closing speed is unreal. In my mind he could be an elite shutdown small defender with enough tools to rebound as well.

If the game continues on trend and small forwards are the bee knees he would be a handy addition back there.

He has got the goods but his decision making though is very poor.

I do agree, but I think it's more he hasn't learnt how to control his mechanics and execute the skill yet. He has *amazing* lateral movement - with pace too, but this means he get's unbalanced very easily.

Andrew McLeod moved in a similar way, but he learned how to slow down, every so slightly, at the critical moment and get balanced before kicking.

So many times Impey wins a ball, evades one or two, gets into space and has time to settle, but fluffs it and kicks the wrong side of the ball or hits it on the wrong angle or floats his ball drop.

Has the tools, needs some maturity and real development 1on1 coaching to get it all together.

Best of luck, Jacko. Will be remembered fondly for his commitment to the club, at a time when we were at absolute rock bottom. 6 years later and he is driven out of the club by doing the selfless thing and fulfilling a huge hole for us in 2016, then overtaken for a defenders spot by young blokes with better foot skills.

ya, Jacko.

I swear i'll punch any imbecile Port fan who dares boo him when we play the dogs next year.

Charlie Cameron has requested a trade to Brisbane

Brisbane have 18 and 19 (rocky)

Melbourne can send us their first rounder this year and next year and we will give back our second rounder to them.

Send pick 10 to Carlton for Gibbs.

We end up with Gibbs, 19, and Melbourne’s first rounder next year for lever and Cameron and a second rounder.

Pick 10 and what else for Gibbs?
People assume Carlton will be more lenient this year but they’ll want the same as last year if you want him.

Didn't Betts say at the Grand Final wake that "I can guarantee you he will be here next year" when asked about Cameron?

What’s he gonna say? Yeah I think he wants out, dunno.

Ahh maybe he could have left the bit about the ‘guarantee’ out perhaps.

"Ask Charlie, it's his decision" instead of looking all smug in his shitty hipster glasses.
