Mission accomplished!  ;D Imagine if I put in a Dr Seuss phrase

A reverse schulz and a foward McMahon,
Both players who can't hit the side of a Barn,
Trade them at once, no wait which one first?
Who knows which club, has a dud of a thirst?

Ramps, I'm certain I'm not the only one here who thinks you are being a bit Melodramatic. At the moment, you're making George Costanza look like Elliot Goblet

i reckon Ramps is on the money to be honest.

We have more holes to fill and this list, we have here has been blessed with a good injury free year. Facts are we still lost to 9th and this team has an abundance of average place years

We need more quality through the door than Blair's astute selections of Grigg and Hampson.

We need to get a Star footballer not depth players.

You dont see Barcelona or Manchester United or Real Madrid buying from the op shops.

If only it was that easy ::)
There aren't to many stars moving anywhere this year, I'm not sure who you want us to target but firstly they would want yo have to come to us and secondly we need something to offer in return for trade.

Have to agree tiga

Ramps and I say this with the utmost repsect, when we sat 3-3 earlier this year you said the "re-build had been a failure" (or words close to that) and we needed to start yet again. After 23 rounds we ended up making finals and finsihing 5th. So the re-build cannot be classed by anyone including you as a failure. Time proved that you made a bad call in the heat of thwe moment  becasue you were disappointed and you like all of us want success.

Perhaps you are doing it again because I don't think you can seriously believe the recruitment of one player is going to send us spiralling down the ladder?   

With compo picks still be to handed out pick 28 is likely to be end up being around 31-34 range. Which is close to what we handed out for Maric when we gave up our 3rd round pick. Let's not forget that by finishing higher up the ladder our 2nd rounder pick is a late pick and more like a early 3rd rounder.

I think that we should at least give Hampson a go, see what he brings to the table and take it from there

Ditto with the remainder of the trade & FA periods plus everyones favourites the Drafts  ;D

We need to be brave, Pick 11 and Nahas for Dangerfield, or what about giving a team FIVE  :o players, for just one player?

Derickx, Nahas, McGuane, Lonergan and Foley for Ablett!

Settle down Ramps, your just becoming silly now.

Not saying I agree with it but going by what Dan Richardson said today, the Club believes our second round pick would've dropped down into the 30s once all the compo picks are added in and so our pick would equate to a late second rounder or early third rounder.

I think Shaun Hampson will be excellent for the Tiges and I look forward to seeing him star in 2014.  :thumbsup
