Interesting, was just discussing this bloke with someone, would be an excellent pickup imho, hope our club is one of those in the mix!

Your club doesn't appear to want to cheat the cap CP...the honest Johns don't succeed in this event.

Expect Haynes to go to CDFC or Port if anywhere...though North still have some coin to bandy about...allegedly.

I guess it depends on how true he is toward his reason of wanting to re-join the AFL, he would be facing some stiff competition within other forward lines ... If it's about $$-only though then I agree TB, I would suggest we're not in the mix :cry:

I think Spirit the last time TB measured a foot, he then noticed half his ruler was missing!

I think also, Sticks is so emarrassed by "that" photo, he has never returned to the Bay since.

I also "think" that the Snouts are considering cancelling the 2006 season due to lack of interest.

Given his emergence at the West Coast a few years back, I am surprised he has fallen off the AFL radar so quickly. A 6 footer with good pace and good hands and one of those players who is able to kick a drop punt 60 metres without too much trouble.
Agree that he would be a great forward pick up for any club and will command a very good defender.

In the SANFL, Haynes would be a top pick up but he is finished as an AFL footballer. While it is true that Haynes does have a penetrating boot, where the ball will go is anyone's guess. Another big problem for Haynes is that he has no peripheral vision at all...his decision making is ordinary to say the least. If Haynes is such a gun forward, ask yourself how he could not get a gig at Geelong that suffered injuries to Ottens, Chapman and Johnson this last season.

Dont know that one TB. Lord of the Rings not high on the agenda. Didnt see John Waynes name on the credits so didnt bother. Now True Grit, thats a movie!

On the looks department, am told I am Frankie J Holdens twin. Similar personalities too apparently. Even more evident after a "few" scotches. And add to that I am the genuine, Ole 55.

No, that one's not going through to the keeper. Kingsley is not as strong as a Matthew Richardson or Matty Lloyd. His best position would be as the secondary forward which is why Geelong recruited Brad Ottens. However, Geelong has not had the chance to use Kingsley as a secondary forward so he has become our main attacking option. Despite being played out of position, Kingsley has kicked over 50 goals in a season three times during his career, including the last two seasons. My only problem with Kingsley is that he kicks too many behinds.

But you're right because he probably wouldn't get a game at Hawthorn because he isn't a clueless 20 year old who might, just might come good in 2009. It is fitting that a Hawk supporter is named Matt because most clubs will be wiping their feet on your lot next season. :lol:

Thats all well and good but the truth of the matter is, as REB said, is he has minimal decision making skills, isnt strong enough and his kicking is erratic. He also was terribly inconsistent.

May do alright at SANFL level but I wouldnt be throwing the cheque book at him
