THE STRUT IS GONE

 When Toby Greene is up and about he struts shoulder's back head up and he backs it up on the field but the strut is gone and so apparently has his and the teams confidence with it.

Sure he kicked 3 against the Dogs today but they were smashed, 27 points isn't a smashing in the scoring sense but a deeper delve shows a much worrying sign. 30 scoring shots to 13 in the second half alone 17 to 5 and -21 inside 50's.

So where is it going wrong? Well today they had 2 goal kickers that has to be some sort of record and not the kind you want, they seem to have a lot of downhill skiiers players who look a million dollars when things are going well but when shit goes sideways not where to be seen, sure Kelly and Ash were missing but everyones got injuries, all of a sudden the midfield looks pedestrian and might need a kick in the ass maybe kill 2 birds with 1 stone put Toby in their from the first bounce and the strut might just return and with it the Orange Tsunami because at the moment the Orange Tsunami looks more like a ripple in the kiddies pool.

Trade Talk

2 days to go and as usual the big trades mentioned prior to the trade period beginning are going to come down to not only the last da but in some cases poosibly the last minute.
So far we have seen the following trades:
Goal sneak Eddie Betts to Carlton, Adelaide gets a Future Fourth Round Selection, so basically zero.
West Coast do a pick swap with the Lions they receive pick 46 and 91 and the Lions get picks 52 & 64 why who the hell knows.
Midfielder Ed Langdon and Pick 26 and a future fourth round selection to Melbourne and Fremantle get picks 22 & 79 and a future second rounded. These future late picks always intrigue me can't figure them out.
Pacy Full Back Sam Frost picks 42 & 61 and a future fourth round and Melbourne get picks 50 and a future second rounder wow seems to be a lot of messing about.
Another set of pick swaps GWS get picks 6 & 59 and St.Kilda get picks 12 & 18 now these pick swaps DO make sense to me a high first rounder (6) and the saints get to top 20 in return wins all round very astute.
Now the first and the most complicated move since a high ranking Soviet official wanted to defect to the West with West Coast receiving Tim Kelly and a future thrid rounder from Geelong and pick 52 from Essendon, Geelong getting 14 & 24 and a future first round selection from the Eagles and pick 37 from Essendon and Essendon gets pick 33 from the Eagles and pick 57 from the Cats talk about complicated.
Well that's it for now but the last 2 days will see plenty more and hopefully the Joe Daniher to the Swans doesn't get done but if it does if we could get Luke Parker or Isaac Heeney I could live with that (somehow...).
