4. Remember the names Chris Tarrant and Andrew Mackie (who we went for last season but Pagan could not get).

possible trade Nick Stevens for Tarrant and their first Round Pick?

andrew mackie - Geelong player?

Secondly, I'm sick and tired of the person they call "Synbad". He comes on here and thinks he has control of everyone, thinks he has some kind of divine mandate to convince everyone on this site about the need to play for picks, get rid of Campo/Kouta etc. But the thing is Synbad, you're not a very smart man. Not very quick at all. In fact you're quite stupid.

Firstly, this is the man who only 3 months ago said and I quote "now if Kosi hadn't been a number 2 pick, would you think he's any different to Deluca. Deluca does more for us". Deluca, ahahahaha, Deluca. Now if you said Fevola, maybe I'd take that. If you said Thornton, I'd say fair enough he gets on the park each week. BUT DELUCA?. You're not very smart are you Synbad? You're a simple man who just goes on what happened in the last game. And of course it's all good for Synbad to bag Whitnall and Campo now, bag us for giving them such long deals. But hang on. He wants to give 5 years at 500k to KOSI. THAT IS RIGHT. KOSI! The person who has never had an injury-free season. ever. now if he's getting injured now? waht would happen in 5 years do you think? Crazy. See you're not clever Synbad. You compare Lance to Nick HOlland and other long-term deals taht have gone wrong. But you're not smart enough to learn from history's mistakes. Well I'm glad you're not in charge of the club. . But you like to feel you have some sort of responsibility for the club, don' you? Well you don't. . But you can think you're doing something if you like. When Lance and Campo go, you can think you had a part in it if you want. But Collins and Pagan don't care what you think, they will make those decisions for themselves.

And thank God for that. Of course, I have always been browsing these forums, but never registered. Don't want to get involved in any politics that's going on, it just gets too tempting. But I'll tell you what I've read of the famous "Synbad" since the early days of theblueview. well, in 2003, he was reminding us that "lance was only 23 and is going to be one of the competition's top 10 players". In fact, in a number of posts, he continued to emphasize Lance's "age and ability". Not very good at looking into the future is Synbad. He also stated earlier in the year that "we have enough kids, we'll be lookign to trade our first round pick for a ready-made player". Yeh right, see Synbad is good at reiterating what his mate's think, and what the current situation is like. but we all knwo that Synbad, we don't need to hear it from you. The club doesen't need your help. And talkingcarlton really isn't getting much info now that Shane O's been shafted. Shane O doesen't have a lot to give to your friend, does he?. Shame isn't it.

And of course what Synbad would do if he was in charge of drafting. hahaha, he bags people for not going to TAC matches and listening to what the Journos think. Well imagine if Carlton listened to what you think. Marcus Drum ahead of Beau Dowler. Again, Synbad's not very good at judging talent either. But he wants something to do with football, maybe cleaning the floors is all you are good for. Try that, it's the closest you will get to having any job at the club. But of course, if anyone wants another 190 cm Key Position, they are welcome to recruit one ahead of a taller player. Don't worry about previous mistakes with Massie, Vance. I won't say Livo is a mistake because he is coming good, and it was a weak draft. And of course, he forgets Mitchell Clarke. Not a smart man Synbad at all. Never occured to him that Clarke might have just had an off carnival like Franklin. I personally have heard that Murphy and Ellis are still rated higher, but Clarke is definitely in some recruiters top four.
But Synbad would have us take Drum, not just ahead of Clarke but Dowler
and others. I'm glad he's not in charge of recruiting.

Contracts is also one of Synbad's specialty. Said no-one would be paid what they are not worth. Well Fev was . But Synbad would say, he's worth it! Talent we can't afford to lose. Fine, I like Fevola too, I think he's a fantastic player. But at the right deal, I would let him go. I'm glad he signed, even though he isn't worth 400k, I'm not disputing re-signing him. I'm just saying Synbad's belief in Collo shoudl be questioned. Houla was also signed for more than he's worth . What was the excuse there Synbad?Ah, can't afford to lose talent, can we?. How many more times will it happen?.

I wish you would just shut up Synbad. You shouldn't be worrying about Campo or Whitnall's contracts. Others will. You should be worrying about recruiting, if you're interested. But don't bag others for their views, because yours are quite ridiculous. You shouldn't be bagging people for supporting Lance. Hell, you shouldn't be bagging Lance at all for his fitness problems. I believe you have some of your own from what I have heard. You shouldn't be bagging people for wanting to win games. You have no right to, after saying we should trade early picks this year, and thinking we were back. You were fooled much more than they were, so you really don't have a right. Others are entitled to make mistakes as well.
But I'm glad you think we'll bad for three years, because if you think it, we're bound to be good. Because you're wrong alot of the time, as I've mentioend before. You thought we'd land a big name last year, we didn't You thought Lance would go, he didn't Crap we weren't offered anything, we were offered pick 21 from Hawthorn Turned it down though. But you never mentioend that did you Synbad, you choose your information carefully. Because stating that the club rated Whitnall highly wouldn't be good for your apparent "cause". A deal was also nearly done for Whitnall to be swapped with Travis Johnstone the year before. Very nearly done. It wasn't. We pulled out. Synbad also never mentioned that.

So a few things now. Now I'm expecting to be attacked by Synbad, it does not bother me. From what I have read, Joshua gets it alot on this site anyway. I'm hoping you will just attribute this post to him, I really shouldn't be posting on here. But Synbad has just irritated me beyond belief. So here is some info you need to know, and hopefully it will shut Synbad up.

1. Lance will not be re-signed this season. Trade/delisting intentions are not known, but he will not be re-signed, Lappin to re-sign soon, on a two year deal. Campo's intentions are unknown, however it is believed he is geniuinely considering and the club hopes will most likely sign two year deal on reduced wages Walker and Waite within two weeks.
4. Remember the names Chris Tarrant and Andrew Mackie (who we went for last season but Pagan could not get).
5. We will not be getting Koschitzke. He may walk for 500k for 5 years, but Denis is not stupid enough to do that.
6. Walker and Waite within two weeks.
7. Off the record West Coast have asked us about whether we would be interested in Gardiner, we have stated we are not interested. (they seem to think he is worth our first round selection, most likely pick 3 or 4 overall, insane!)

.. Insert abuse here Synbad.. But I will not be responding. Having fun dreaming about meaning something to the club.

you've lost it scotty.

stevens for tarrant? F@%&#! that!

I cant understand why everyone hates stevens (and to a lesser exten lappo) all of a sudden.

they cant do it all on their own, so no wonder their form is down.

you cant throw the baby out with the bath water

So what is your first name Mr. Supremo?
Regards pedro.

Some of the points in this post may be well made, some of the information may well be absolutely spot on. But, IMO, the purpose of this post was to discredit/attack another poster.
