Get Lovett

[Nico]

You know what, sometimes it pays to actually look at the posts in their entirety before you have a go.... Now toddle off and check again. I'll be here waiting.

Sorry, still can't get what you meant by the post I referred to in any other context as to how I originally saw it. Clearly I don't get your sense of humour if that is what it was an attempt at.

Your post was in very poor taste RP

If you want good meat on the plate, what about Courtney Johns? Could be handy on our forward line. He may be injured until late next year, but he is a young punk with plenty to offer IMO.

Other than that, Ricky Dyson sounds like a top choice if we are to chase quick midfielders.

Maybe..... But I'm not the one that edited their post.

RP, regardless of Nico going off half cocked and getting it wrong, what you originally said was pretty ordinary.

You'd do better to let this thread rollover to page 2 and out of sight.

Just putting it out there, how about Varcoe? He's younger than Lovett, and a similar sort of player. He can only seem to get a game at Geelong through injuries to teammates. He'd walk into just about any other side. He's quick, he tackles well, and has good skills. Perhaps we could look at a double trade, him and Tom Hawkins for a first rounder. Do some more trading to secure a replacement, and hopefully higher, first round pick from elsewhere (as it would be an understatement to say that we have nothing Geelong needs in terms of players). Thoughts?

So that's a "no" to Varcoe then?

I thought I had???? Wasn't me dredging it up.

Well if you didn't wait until post 64 to acknowledge, if you could call 'maybe' an acknowledgment, that what you said was poor form, maybe others wouldn't have dredged it up.

[reigning premier]

Can't respond to a post until one's made..... Which from my view, was about 4 before that magic number 64...

Has anyone heard what is going on with him at Essendon, are they looking to trade him or does he wanted to be traded. Still think he could be a strong prospect either as a small forward, or if he gets his fitness up as a good outside midfielder.

[connolly]

Initially I wasn't too keen on recruiting him either, but we may have a solution to some of his issues in the we have two of the most respected indigenous players going around to provide the guidance and leadership he may need .

It may be that at Essendon he was put into the role of being one of the leaders to the other indigenous players and couldn't handle it.

Perhaps with MOL and AG to guide him, he could turn it around.

Any thoughts.....

We have two outstanding indigenous leaders. If there is anywhere Lovett can make a go of it it might be with us. I think its worth a shot. By the way i abhor domestic violence and "men"who use violence against women. But offenders do deserve the chance at rehabilitation. If he is genuinely interested we should give it a go. He can play and is very quick.

He is a very good player but once a women basher always a women basher.There is no need to belt a women that just shows how piss weak you are.

After all that i dont want him at my club.We want a family type club.

My little Jack Russell's - Guus & Gecko - bash and crash my wife on a daily basis !!! Me thinks it is hilariously funny, particularly when the wife has had enough, screams at them and they go scampering off out the backyard where they then have a bark-off with the neighbouring dogs....

People change, including footballers, so give the bloke a chance !! Beating women is a 'piss weak' effort and I bet Lovett wakes up every day hating his actions in relation to this matter however, the only way to help the young fella is with education and forgiveness.

Hands up those that have never done a thing wrong in their life (ie. public drunkeness, jaywalking, spitting, swearing - which all can be prosecuted in the eyes of the law). If so, you're a liar and Big Brother is watching you....Hands up those that have forgiven family or friends for criminal or immoral acts. If not, you're a liar or as cold as ice and should probably change your name to Scotty as in 'Scott no friends'....

We're not a family club, no AFL clubs are. Get off the grass - the Sydney Swans are in business to win premierships and make money by attracting the corporate dollars and members.

Jaysus, sentiments like that went out the window when players became pro's, if not decades before.....

Unfortunately Nick's Premiership credits evaporated very quickly, and probably by his own doing, but many others amazingly kept theirs intact despite continuos, shocking form. I would have thought players lose their place in the team for the following reasons: suspension, off field indecretions, injury, team balance, match ups and poor form. I ask the question, are some of these more equal than others?

Youre probably right, personality must play a part in everything, including whether the coach or leadership group wants you in the team, still, 2005 was a while ago, no ones getting any younger and after his reco Nick won't play proper footy til he does a full pre season in 2010, I believe he will be 30 by then, time for small forwards to say goodbye, except for the exceptional ones

It was reported in the herald sun yesterday (sunday), that Roos had met with Andrew Lovett last week, but that Fremantle were leading the chase for him.

But really, it all means very little.
