LOL, dude life's pretty good if that's your gripe .. I think most punters know what was meant by it :D


ok DUDE we just make sayings up then 8)

so if I was "swinging the tomahawk" there is no way I would put James Sellar, Tony Armstrong, Rory Sloane or Simon Goodwin on the "chocolate box" - sorry DUDE you know I meant chopping block :roll:

Craigy loves Sloaney and you don't have to be a rocker scientologist (sorry I actually meant rocket scientist) to realise that you will not pick up another Sellar or Goodwin in the next two drafts so why on Pluto (he he I meant Earth) would you delist either of them now? :shock:


LOL .. Feel better now touchy dude?? ;)

douglas WILL be at the crows. he has had a pretty good year. has a good future. crows have got many games into him in a couple of years. he will definitely be at the club in 2010.

Players in doubt are:

Mcleod
Goodwin
Burton
Gallman
Hentschel
Sellar
Jacky (maybe)

I think you are fairly close there, but Sellar may get another year.
McLeod, Goodwin, and Burton, are doubtful because of age and wear and tear.
Hentschel is because of recurring severe injury, and I doubt he will recover fully.
I expect Burton to stack on a turn if he doesn't get a spot in the team in the next couple of weeks.

Not sure about the first 5, Goodwin should get another year. Even without new contracts, have you actually seen Armstrong or Sloane play before making that comment? Bit like me saying Brodie Martin will be cut because I haven't him seen him do much.

i think that the big three in macca goody and tyson will all get another year as they have all proved to be great contributors and still are capable of winning games of there own backs... burton will have the rest of this year to prove his worth and i beleive that he will get anoterh year to as he adds that X factor to the team. i think that nick gill might have played his last game for the crows and that maybe jacky is on the outer aswell. douglas dosnt do alot for me and i would much rather hava petrenko in my team then richy as he looks dangerous and has alot of potential...i think jonathon griffen might be struggeling aswell...

Sellar HAS to go. I cringe every time he goes near the pill.

Bearing in mind Kane Johnson has already retired from Tigerland, I'd still be looking to offload Troy Simmonds, Cleve Hughes, Jake King, Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls, Jordan McMahon, Jay Schulz, Kane Pettifer and Tom Hislop.

I would say that the Tigers will need a Mini-Skip, but that's for hard rubbish.

Fair points

Don't think the first 5 I've listed are in any doubt, they'll all be gone.

Maybe one of Armstrong and Sloane may hold on but even if they've got a ten year contract, doesn't mean they can't be delisted, just means club has to pay out on contract that they have.

Think that one of three out of McLeod, Goodwin and Edwards will be gone and think it will be Goodwin.

You might be right, but they'd be silly to sign Armstrong and then delist him 3 or 4 months later. Sloane has only been on teh list for a year and shows a bit, i can't see him being cut.

yeah he got dropped, and was unlucky IMO and also in craigs opinion. (stated that publicly)

but he has played i think every other game bar the swine flu game he missed.

how can u say get rid of petrenko? He gives 100% everytime he attacks the ball and plays the game, yes he may look unco when he kicks, he doesnt get a great deal of touches but his workrate for the team is extremely good. something that is a great sign in a kid for the future.

And psyber, i had goodwin and mcleod on that list because of there age and body. Sellar will probably get another year i would think!
