You know Daisy is a 185cm half forward flanker right?  :wallywink :lol

Yeah thought you were being a fool again, how silly of me to think you could actually contribute sensibly to a thread. BTW, he has played in just about every position going....would be good to have him in the team regardless!

So he's a KPP? Played FB, CHB, CHF, FF has he?

How silly of me

And dont be such a baby  :lol

Wouldn't risk taking Thomas, that ankle injury is a nasty one. No guarantees he will come back from it and be the player he was

Wouldn't consider Watts either, he's a floater, shows no desire, agrression, endeavour let alone a killer instinct. Not even sure he has the talent that people keep saying he has. For his size his should be starting to monster pip squeaks but all he does is run around picking up cheap uncontested possessions and avoiding contest. Just seems to be happy to float about not worrying about improving.

Leuenberger I believe will stay in Brissie and if he doesn't he will cost plenty you'd need to pay overs and I am not sure we want to be paying overs for him. I'd rather back McBean in to be as good if not better TBBH

So thinking about it here's a thought, why don't we look a drafting some more kids this year and develop them. And while we are developing them in our own VFL team in 2014, we'll start playing some more of the kids we've picked over the last couple of years ...you know McBean (a Leuneberger type), McIntosh (a Thomas type), Darrou (a better option than Watts cos he has aggression) etc.....

Just a thought  ;D

As previously discussed we need at least two to three more KPP'S to take the next step, the next big step IMO and I am talking the GF....

Matthew Leuenberger (Brisbane), Dale Thomas (Collingwood), Jack Watts (Melbourne) are three that would fit in for mine. We need to stop stuffing around and go for gun players and players the we can use and turnaround......we must get serious during free agency!!

Dale Thomas is one of the best KPPs going around. Would love  :gotigers

boy oh boy woweeeeee

X 2

LMAO

I would argue watts isn't a kpp either, barely makes the grade as a footballer

Leuenberger I believe will stay in Brissie

we should actually target billy longer now that Leuenberger appears to be back in the team and pushing longer to the reserves

I reckon we need somebody ready to go because our window is going to be wide open from next year.  Longer will most likely come good but he still has a fair bit of learning to do and we already have McBean in that category.  Ivan needs a hand - actually I think he needs to be our #2 in a top 4 side - and Leuenberger is young, very good, and ready to go.  Vickery can be a permanent key forward and back up option until McBean pushes him aside.  All in a perfect world of course!   ;D

I corrected your poor typing  ;D

You typed "tend to agree with this view"  in between 2 paragraphs so it came up as part of the quote

So before editing it looked like this:
