[Macca19]

I think its crazy giving someone with Acklands track record a 3 year deal with good coin.

mate you must have the memory of a "Gold Fish"

your post yesterday, and I quote
"Syd-Dog is brilliant at reading the paper and then putting the story onto a forum topic. Brilliant!"

BUT
then recently you started a thread on J hay sublime condition with a direct link to the Age's real footy

" Hey Look there's scuba diver man "
then does a lap of his fish bowl"
Hey Look there's scuba diver man "
and so on and so on
" Hey Look there's scuba diver man "
" Hey Look there's scuba diver man "
" Hey Look there's scuba diver man "

its a DOG fight!!!!!!

Ackland.....number one pick. Well thats something I would never expect to hear in the same sentence.

Anyway, calton you just as easy pick up a young ruckman with that number one pick. I forget his name but hes a giant an moves alirght thats expected to go pretty early. Get him. Ackland is probably only worth a 3rd round pick at most.

[Macca19]

Stan - He'll go number 1 pick in the pre season draft, not the main draft.

Parry to the crows via the pre-season draft

personally I can't see this

Parry's height is a concern, most leading AFL ruckman are closing in on the 200cm mark, Parry would be given away 5-6 cm to the smallest AFL ruckman going around

it just wont happen

I actually made mention of the fat bastard from the Age paper, cos it showed a good photo of his fat guts. I dont simply read the paper and get on the internet and pretend i have inside knowledge on every single club in the afl.

I see better crap in my toilet than the stuff you post on here old man.

WHO CARES A if we are extracting stories from the media, one of the main purposes of this forum is to discuss what is making news, this thread proves that very point, members have posted their views on Ackland's move and the impact on both clubs

In regards to toilets, mate, no one here wants to know about your Adelaide park lands extra curriculum hobbies

In regards to this age thing you keep recycling, c'mon surely you can be more creative then that, your a teacher, man of the world, your taught in England

C'MON I expect better then calling a 34yr old an OLD MAN

Will accept you disappoint your partners but don't disappoint the safooty members

The ruck position in the current AFL enviroment has changed though Syd - as the athlete is taking over in that position these days !!!

I havent seen much of Parry though - which category is he in ??? ( the athlete ruckmen or the traditional ruckmen )

[Maddogmike]

yarda yarda yarda - dribble as usual

too be honest I am not sure on how good of an athlete Parry is, but at 194cm he would need every bit of athletisism to compete as a ruckman in the AFL

lets bench mark Parry against the best as he would need to compete against the best

Cox is 204cm and he showed in the GF he is an athlete, his work around the ground was sensational, 10cm is a big advantage to be giving up......

I wish Parry all the best but in my opinion I don't think the crows will target him

[Maddogmike]

and we wish you well in your football career/comeback. I hope you win the association medal

[sydney-dog]

association medal is never on the Agenda, team success and enjoyment is

The best is Cox yet I dont think it is his height that makes him outstanding around the ground.

His ability to be another midfield player with his skills and his ability to get the footy is what I see beats every one else - especially us.
