seems to play his best football off the half back flank. He might have pace but he's softer than Grigg and loses his poo to easy.
To be honest I just can't see him fitting in the current side.
Our biggest deficiency at the moment is our forward line, we need to go hard for both a Key forward (Dixon, Lynch, Carlisle) and a small forward (Matera, Motlop, Hrovat)

Softer, but significantly more talented.

Why would you get Carlisle, and play him forward? Where he is a proven failure as opposed to back where he is aa quality?

Well I'd get him primarily to play down back but he has kicked 8 in a match as a forward - which is twice as many as Vickery's biggest haul. Handy swingman at least.  WADA concerns not withstanding, we should be heavily into him. Wanted him instead of Griffiths in '09 and still do. Should swap them and right another of Hackson's wrongs.

Essendon would probably want Rance and our first round pick - absolute prick of a club to deal with.

If this club picks up yarran, they deserve every bad thing that happens to them  :facepalm

Just another little pickle with disciplinary issues.

In fact, the truth is - youre all racists m

You only have hopes for him because he's aboriginal.

remember the old coon cheese add with the two boys watching the footy back when krackuers were playing? one was a north supporter and his mate said I'll swap you a cracker for a coon.

Motlop and Yarran are bit players. Wouldn't give a 5 yr deal for motlop and wouldn't pay more than 450k.

Get some a graders Richardson you hack of a footy manager. How many have we attempted to go after and failed. The closest was trengrove

Wake up and get Treloar or Danger. Yarran please

i know it's not good practice to make judgements on one incident or one game, but when you look at the way our entire side played friday, the pressure, the intensity, the second efforts, the work rate to get to contests and to set up defensively,then look at motlop yesterday and gee, you wouldnt have wanted that out there friday.

you definately wouldnt want to offer someone that has so much work to do on their game a 5 year deal.

Would you notice much difference though if he was in the team instead of Lloyd or Newman?

lloyd sill needs a decent chance to prove himself. he didnt do too much wrong in the short time was on the ground on friday

i cant ever recall seeing newman do what i saw motlop do yesterday. actually i cant ever recall seeing too many senior footballers at any level do that.

non efforts are pretty much inexcusable, regardless of how much talent you have.
