It's funny, because the posts defending his ability remind me exactly of the ones that defended Henneman, Bolton, Lalich, Reynolds, Cupido, and just about every other under-acheiving dud we have had on the list in this wonderful period of mediocrity.
It's funny, because despite all your pot shots over the years, we haven't had any superstars on the list who were held back by any of the players on your signature.

It's funny, despite whatever treatment you had while you were on sabbatical, you're still not capable of telling the differance between a signature and a post.
When you can actually explain what you are trying to say in that post, please let me know. Tell your therapist what you want to get off your chest, they might be able to help you.

1. Through attrition we have already have the 3 required spots for the draft this year.
2. This is the single worst draft in draft history, dependng on where we finish, our picks next year will be 10 - 15 spots better than this year.
3. If we delist next year, we will be swapping them for players in the top 60, this year they will all be swapped For players 77 +
4. We already have a crop of young players who will benefit from game time next year.
If you want to take a punt, fine. But at least shorten the f****** odds.
1. You never know, we may be able to find a good kid late in the draft.
2. The "weak" draft is based on 18 year olds, maybe there's a good "mature age" player out there.
3. I would back some random kid to be at least as useful as NLM anyway.

Probably ignoring people like you
My comparisons had nothing to do with talent (which a reasonable number in here claimed Stants had none of) and everything to do with the fact that such a generous number of both BTers and EFC supporters in large buried the knife in the back of Stants and then turned around and bayed for the blood of those who booed at the game. It's all a little two faced to me. IF everyone boos NLM this year, I'm sure half the posters who are anti him in here will still carry on. The nature of the beast indeedie.

agreed.... can't really see us delisting any more players before the national draft... but if we want a pick in the PSD then maybe one more player will be axed.
