'coming years'......its like the never ending rebuild But I'll be coming after your lot in the trade period G !!! Best wishes for 2015 mate
Feb 2015brings the never ending rebuild of the Hoppers into its next phase. (LikeI actually have a plan, full of phases, strategies & what not - who am I kidding) That being said......with the draft a few weeks away, I'm kinda liking this squad - if you ignore the backline !!! Defence Stratton, Mullett, DTalia, JFrost, BGoodes.....ugh!!!!!!!! Middle Hayes**, Rockliff, Neale, Curnow, Adams FM, Lyons FM, O Rourke, Morabito**, Dwyer**, Cripps*, Freeman*, Dumont* Forward Stringer, Billings*, JMartin, Honeychurch*, CCameron, Karnezis, Markworth Ruck Sandilands, Witts, Griffin** * Denotes new gun hopper Jack Billings: Paid overs with the #1 pick + the budding star in Billy Hartung. I rate Billings above Dunstan and have high hopes of a Lenny Hayes type career. Mitch Honeychurch: Took a flyer on this young pup, jury well & truly out so far. Patrick Cripps: Even though I HATE his team, the kid will be something special in a few years. Nathan Freeman: The much hyped Pie; we will see if my one eye goes blind. Gave up a defensive gem in Webster to get him. Trent Dumont: Taxi man......please dude, don't hail a cab. Project player. ** Denotes most likely to be delisted (others to be added) Lenny Hayes - Our captain rides off into the sunset. Great player, great man. Anthony Morabito - Its not confirmed yet, but the fragile bugger is wearing thin. Sam Dwyer - Love the guy, but is just a depth player at the Pies. Jonathon Griffin - Sandi's back up who gets injured more than the 40 yr old superstar. Draft Picks 10-15-31-33-55 // 91-107. Went into thetrade periodwith #37 as my first pick left remaining......now have 4 inside that number.

Went into the trade period with #37 as my first pick left remaining......now have 4 inside that number. Mate, your rebuilding efforts have been my favourite spectator sport over the ORFFA off-season. I second Prap's thoughts - really really well done. The team has been transformed and looks far more formidable than last year. Just hope you get a fair run at it with injuries. Oh, and let's talk defence in the coming days!
Well four weeks is a long time. Not sure whether to have a smoke or throw up in my mouth. The rebuild went into Fitzy like overdrive. In fact, I may have taught the young pup a thing or two................. 10 trades in the 2015 PSD - note to self: Stop drinking Red Bull. Defence (4) Stratton, Mullett INJ, D Talia, Matty Scharenberg* Middle (9) Rockliff, Neale, Curnow, Adams FM, Jed Anderson*, O Rourke, P. Cripps*, N Freeman*, Dumont* Forward (7) Stringer, Billings*, J Martin, Honeychurch*, C Cameron, C McCarthy, Karnezis Ruck (2) Witts, Grundy* (* Denotes new Hopper The new kids on the block are............... DEF Matty Scharenberg: Boy does this kid want to pan out for me I tell ya. Should be, in 2 years, ourbest Defender MID Jed Anderson: The kid can wrestle crocodiles, lets see if he can break into that bloody Hawks squad. Patrick Cripps: Even though I HATE his team, the kid will be something special in a few years. Nathan Freeman: The much hyped Pie; we will see if my one eye goes blind. Gave up a defensive gem in Webster to get him. Trent Dumont: Taxi man......please dude, don't hail a cab. Project player. FWD Jack Billings: Paid overs with the #1 pick + the budding star in Billy Hartung. I rate Billings above Dunstan and have high hopes of a Lenny Hayes type career. Mitch Honeychurch: Took a flyer on this young pup, jury well & truly out so far but NAB form very good. (Special mention to Sunshine McCarthy.....has sat on the squad for a year with no fanfare or games.....but watch out) RCK: Brodie Grundy: The Pies have a 1-2 punch in the Ruck. No one knows who is 1 or who is 2......so now we have both. ** Denotes delisted Lenny Hayes - Our captain rides off into the sunset. Great player, great man. Anthony Morabito - The fragile buggerwore thin. Sam Dwyer - Love the guy, but is just a depth player at the Pies. Jack Frost - Great defender after only one season, but SC irrelevant Brett Goodes - Future coach of the Western Bulldogs Dan Markworth - What's to say, just a bloody shame. Draft Picks - this is where it gets fun............. Went into the2015 PSDwith #37 as my first pick, traded 4 picks into the top 35: 10-15-31-33-55 // 91-107. But I got bored & kept going................. Now I have 3.10.11.......three first round picks.........+ 48/91/107.......well, no one cares about those anyway. **** We shallsee what unfolds.............it's been a fun ride.
