banter! well when u read b/w the lines , u will seethat some posts are offensive but i dont see them being edited!
while some sit back and get wet over richo i will watche jenna jamieson, i know has nothing to do with this thread, but what the hell its banter, and jenna does more 4 me than richo

Banter - I would think when someone puts a smiley face (this one  or this one  or even this one  ) or the cool face (this one   ) and the end of thier post then that's banter.

When someone posts personal comments about partners etc then that's offensive.

Moving right along  .

I have heard good things about Casserley.  Remember also there is a draft coming up with some talented midfielders in it. 

Interesting times

I'm a big fan of Cass LT. I think he will surprise alot of supporters next year. He just needs a injury-free run after suffering from OP earlier this year and catch up to his peers physcially over summer.

Weaver on his yahoo tiger talk site made a interesting point. He mentioned that despite calls from supporters to pick up a tall with our first drft pick that we could go for a genuine midfielder instead if we consider the likes of JON and Lids say as "modern" talls - 190cm footballers who can run. Add outside players like Meyer, Cass and Blingers and we may not have the depth of young genuine midfielders that we think we have with just Polo, Foley and Raines.

I just worry about their size against the monsters - alot of these kids, especially from WA (eg JON and Casserley) aren't big across the shoulders - and seem to take a while to bulk up. I suppose it depends on how patient a club's prepared to be

If you got any doubts just remember Anthony Banik...

You would a very strong, even midfield with depth to protect your defence. I guess the Swans get away with it with Barry, LRT and Bolton but they have no teenagers in their best 22 so every Swan is physically mature. At the other end premierships are usually won around a big strong talented key forward - Hall, Tredrea, Lynch and Brown, Carey. We still need a young traditional KPP or two. I can see Wallace picking up Clinton Benjamin though at #8 unless one of the better KPP is still around. He won't be able to resist a 188cm tall skillful footballer (and growing?) who can run 100m in 10.5 secs.

Banik was probably a few years premature for the drafting system and player maturation nowadays.

He was rushed in, played some good footy, but injuries took their toll. 

This draft I think we will go with a classy midfielder at 8, a tall at 26 and 42.  And a speculative after that.  Depends if we can nab another pic early

I reckon we should be looking at KPP's. Our midfield depth is pretty solid and we have plenty of players capable of rotating through the midfield. This season we lacked a solid tall defender and strong marking/leading CHF/FF to compliment Richo. We seemed to be regularly getting it into our forward 50, but from there we struck trouble. I would prefer to see two tall forwards kicking 4 goals each rather than Richo kicking 8 on his own.
