Recruiting Aker?

[PuntRdRoar]

Raines only played 1 game the last game of Frawleys tenure...you should hear the crap on MMM about how spud produced Raines lol it makes me sick...anyway for mine 1 game in R22 under Frawley doesnt really count in the scheme of things.

No Tigers jumper for Akermanis

RICHMOND has ruled out recruiting out-of-favour Brisbane Lions star Jason Akermanis.

Tigers president Gary March yesterday made it clear Akermanis would not be at Punt Road next season despite coach Terry Wallace leaving the door slightly ajar for the 2001 Brownlow medallist less than a fortnight ago.

"It would just go against our recruiting policy we established when Terry started less than two years ago," March said.

"I believe 'Aker' would be better suited to a club challenging for the flag next year and we might not be that close yet."

Akermanis, who is contracted to the Lions for another year, is now likely to concentrate on shifting to either Collingwood or the Demons via the October player-exchange period.

Makes sense but ive slowly warmed to the idea of having him....i just sort of wonder when and if we will ever have an all out superstar 
that can take the game by the scruff of the neck and win it off their own boot...

i have a gut feeling withing a yr or 2, tambling is going to be a freak show, take this game on and become an outright superstar. 
as mt stated in another post, he didnt get 30 touches on the w/e, but he single handedly got us back in the game with his freakish speed, evasiveness and talent. i only wished he had of slotted that goal on the run from around 50 out, his work in the middle was gr8 when in there and his speed and nimbleness really worried the bullies

blinger watch is on, he is gonna get freaky

You really think he got us back into the game?  I will pay that Kraks got us started in the game but I wouldn't have picked Tambo for getting us back into the game.  Couldn't pick if any one individual on his own bat did that.

Let's hope so Bully. If Blingers can in a few years time regularly combine winning the footy with his speed then he will be scary  . We've seen glimpses of it a couple of times this year.

I agree with Bully too Julz. We were getting killed for speed and Blingers changed that. His pace and desperation won us some vital 50/50s across half-back and the defensive side of the centre.  We just couldn't put the good work on the scoreboard. Missing that goal on the run was Blingers only minus for the game. He should have nailed that. Goals like that lift the whole side.

so if x = bully what does y = ???


blingers did change the game, and mt/y is correct, i feel if blingers nailed that goal it could have started something special

[julzqld]

But he didn't.

[Mr Magic]

But he didn't.

For high draft picks, both Bling and Lids kicking for goal so far leaves a lot to be desired.

2006

Lids 3.10
Tambling 10.15

Fingers crossed. 

 Isn't Pettifer our leading goalkicker this year?  With 26 goals or something?

How lame does that list look?

Seven News reported we're still in negotiation with Akermanis, despite March's denial....
