Oh yeah?

[Jono]

GC Suns have a cool polo shirt.

 

[Matt79]

So their team will be:
B: kid - Bock - kid
HB: Harbrow - kid - Brown
C: Stanley - Rischitelli - kid
HF: kid - kid - kid
F: Hunt - N. Ablett - kid
Foll: kid - G. Ablett - Harris
Int: kid x 4.

Taking Carlton as an example of a team with one super gun mid, a lot of hyped early draft picks, and a handful of decent-mediocre established players, am predicting the Suns to make up the numbers in next years finals that's actually a better back line than the Blues.

 

[Jono]

In the last 3-4 years the two best players in the league have changed clubs.

And GC had a red hot crack at Riewoldt to if I remember correctly.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Hunt will play in the back-line, have no doubt of that.

Nah, Cooney re-signed earlier this year.

 

[benchmark00]

David Swallow will be borderline elite for them in the next 4 or 5 years I reckon.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Reckon he'll be borderline elite sooner than that. He was still 17 and came in the top 5 for the Liston (or that's what I was told, CBF checking), that's pretty awesome.

 

[benchmark00]

Yeah, such a gun ****.

Should be a brother/brother draft rule.

 

[Jono]

Nah, Cooney re-signed earlier this year.

Nah **** him. Did his hammy and cost me a Dream Team premiership.

Harris will be in there somewhere. We'll see Day, Bennell and Swallow in there somewhere as well.

 

[superkingdave]

Nathan Ablett probably won't be there next year, has did almost as much as Hunt this year. Nathan Krakeour will be there somewhere

Defence will be something like.

Harbrow Coad Hunt
Krakeour Bock Brown

People having a go at Ablett leaving on radio. Fair enough be upset, but let's not pretend you wouldn't jump ship to a new business/competitor if you were offered more than double what you were earning.

 

[El Nino]

And GC had a red hot crack at Riewoldt to if I remember correctly.

Not really, Asked if he'd be interested would of been on around 500k a year, said he wasn't then re signed for Richmond. And will get that same kind of money in 2-3 years.

Surely Jono was talking about the proper Riewoldt.

 

[Jono]

I did mean Nick, as he's in the best 5 players in the comp, and not Jack (yet).


Highly dispute the term 'proper' from Benchy though. They're both guns.

I think most Cats fans have an issue with the way it was dragged out for so long. All you needed was the announcement to be made on Today Tonight and it'd be Lebron all over again.

That said, I have no issues with it. He should be able to take whatever time he wants within reason. Doesn't owe the fans a quick answer.

 

[Jono]

What? Judd's move to Carlton was way worse and more prolonged than this.

When should he have announced it? During GF week? That'd be Judd-ish selfish (and I love Judd so not having a go).

He waited after the Cats were knocked out, and after the GF.
