R >> Z-Allan Matthew - Gone

X >> C+-Haynes Ben - 3rd strike and you are out
>> B-Henneman Aaron - See Bullen & Bolton
>> B-Hille David - static performance over last 3 years which is ok but you need a #1 ruckman which he aint
>> A+-Hird James - what can you say about the sook, he sure can play
X >> Z-Hunt Sam - keep him becuase he is Kruds love child with the talent to match
>> D-Johns Courtney - the missed years are evident but Sheedy loves hime expect him to be on list for years for the potential
>> A-Johnson Jason - undoubted talent but weary from carrying a lot of passengers
>> B+-Johnson Mark - also undoubted talent though are J&J headed the down the same path as M&M
>> C+-Laycock Jason - doesn't offer any greater prospect than Hille great trade bait for an early draft pick
>> ?-Lee Andrew - no history
>> A-Lloyd Matthew - should just scrape past 1000 goals
>> B-Lovett-Murray Nathan - late bloomer that the Pies obviously didnt need a couple of years back so good was their list
>> B+-Lovett Andrew - another late bloomer will look to go to Freo or WCE
>> A-Lucas Scott - you blokes wouldn't have won a game all year if it wasn't for Fletcher & Lucas
>> A-McPhee Adam - one of those excellent Freo trades and all they give us is Longmuir!
>> B-McVeigh Mark - consistent performer but not at match winning level
U >> C+Monfries Angus - a shortarse lightweight a perfect candidate to trade to the Power
>> BorZ-Murphy Justin - get a lot of ball which on some days you wish he didn't!
>> ?-Nash Jay - no data
>> B-Peverill Damien - honest toiler that needs a better talent to tail behind
>> B+-Ramanauskas Adam - how can anyone wish him anything other than luck
>> D-Reynolds Joel - Sheedy seems to have made the decision already
X >> D-Richards Ted - #40 on a list of 39
>> C-Rioli Dean - can delight and despair but not depairate (sic) enough
>> C-Slattery Henry - Collingwood 6 footer written all over him
>> C-Solomon Dean - toiler who gives away too many free kicks
>> A-Stanton Brent - living up to his draft position and looks the goods
>> D-Thomas Paul - was he picked to fill the list?
>> C-Watson Jobe - picked on his fathers potential and fair enough but doesn't have his father potential a very ordinary player
>> B+-Welsh Andrew - will need to take the next step for you
X >> D-Wilson Adrian - Is he on the list for the same reason as Thomas?
>> D-Winderlich Jason - full of promise and thats all you'll ever see
X >> C-Zantuck Ty - heres a bloke that would burn in a top team unfortunately he isn't in one

Still a lot of duds in that list
and good to see that the Martian's
master plan of turning the Bummers into
a team of midgets is going ahead
at great pace

Last year recruiting 3 out of 5 players under 6'
and this year thus far cutting 8 players only
one of which is under 6' and the only recruit
also thus far is also under 6'.

For the record just over 70% of players
are 6' or over but the Martian has so
far managed to get the Bummers down
to almost 60% but still with the draft
to come there is time to drag it down

Seems the Martian has taken the term
Baby Bummers to heart.

And these blokes reckon we've got problems FF!
This pick No. 7 better be Hird. Lloyd, Lucas and Fletcher rolled into one.
PS: You left Campo out.

Well, give or take 99 points, you may well be right...

Hang your hat on that one if you like Dave.
One all for the season I believe.
And from five goals down at 3/4 time the first time round!
Slagging Carlton won't alter the state of play at Windy Hill.

You're a bit harsh on Dyson and Monfries, but the rest of it is pretty spot
on...there's a lot of pretty average players there...and there's nowhere
near as much young talent coming through as they seem to think...

A finish between 12 and 14 beckons...and Colin's gonna be a Carlton member
in 2007!!!
