    Rowan Warfe on the way back in?
    To provide the spark and toughness that is needed?

          No doubt that we need Barry Hall to have a chance.

            Do a deal with him.
            Brown envelope, lots of cash.
            Name on banner - "thanks for being a champ" etc etc
            He takes out Hamill, Gehrig, Riewoldt, Koschitske ...

              No, a secret ploy by Roos to distract the opposition by having them rolling around on the ground in fits of laughter at his attempts to play football.

              I'm on the Chandwagon!!!

              If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

                What is with you guys continually bagging our players? Saddo is out, so lets move on to Warfe? Who's next on the list? Fosdike is my bet, he seems to be a bit of a favourite whipping boy.

                A couple of clangers from bugger all game time after an extended absence doesn't make Warfe a dud. Bring him back to add some experience to the back line.

                  as nice a guy as warfe is id prefer to put roosy out on the park... despite his retirement he is probably in better form.

                  tho nothing against warfe.

                  Presuming we dont have hall we need oloughlin to fire in the forward line with 4-5 goals and hope people like buchanan who is very impressive and other little people can crum off him...

                  maybe leo barry could go forward?? tho it would be silly to move him from defence . Im just trying to think who would be a good mark up forward.

                  at the moment with whats available id be tempted to play doyle in the ruck and let ball play full forward he used to for the eagles sometimes. Then hope oloughlin and okeefe play well

                    Damn those attempts at diving marks were funny two weeks ago. Bring Warfey back for comic relief. Afterall, the rest of the day will just be painful.

                        Was all to do with regards to his contract which expires this year and most likely won't be renewed.

                            The best game I saw Warfe play was the game a couple (more?) of years ago when we beat Richmond by 1 point indoors. Mainly that was because whenever he was up the other end of the ground, I was attributing all of his and Schauble's possessions to him. He had a blinder. Schauble was rotten though; he went missing every other quarter.
