Probably just his manager dropping the C-wood name for more coin.

I'm more interested in the trades that aren't splashed all over the papers during the season, as history shows that they are far more likely to actually happen.

So far wolf, you’d have Ross the toss Lyon as coach and also bring a midget plodder as our star recruit. You really want to drag this club into the gutter.

Perhaps even held a poll, in which he recieved $&@* all votes from Nicksters.

But how did you do that? You only joined Nicks in March this year.

Don't tell me you were on here under a different name how surprising!
hehehe.

Wish we had a speedy classy goal sneak like Jessiah Pickett.

Imagine him crumbing Cox’s taps, he’d be our leading goalkicker.

C'mon now..

Ross Lyon could do wonderful things with this primed defense

P.S.

I am not in anyway related to Ross Lyon, its just that my name translates from Italian directly to Ross Lyon, just a co-incidence really..

I’ve wanted Petracca for years alongside JDG, it would be perfect as you no longer miss out by JDG going into the middle.

Sorry Rude but we seem to look a lot harder for players that are we’ll, slow, stupid and unskilled.

There weren't many replies.

Walker is in AA form now tho.

The problem with these guys is their age (Both over 30). Aren't we better off to go for some younger options?

I said before, I'll say it again - suggest someone - who's experienced and available.

As for Petracca - He is a luxury, not a necessity. We may not be able to afford a free agent at all anyway (or at least the top end ones) if our 'youth' develops the way we hope and we have to pay them some coin. Again I can't see to many in the near future free agents which are gun KPF.

Ps: As for Lyon, I don't specifically want him either but I at least acknowledge him as a quality coach, also the games changed - Ross understands this... we won't be seeing 'siegfried line' style tactics from him. I'd be just as happy with B.Scott.. almost, I think Ross is a better coach but Brad is more passionate.

Mrs WPT & I caught a bit of the Adelaide Fringe Festival and saw this bloke (very funny)

Turns out he has 8 children one of who is Pickett. I wish we drafted him too
