Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Are there any good financial advisors off-contract in 2021? They need speed, safe under the high ball and be able to pass both sides of their body

Preferably one who can kick goals, because if some posters get thei way, Moma would be playing CC.

RE Crichton, all of the fooball commentators players etc.think he is the best talent on the market,you don't get those wraps for nothing.

Brooks the next Joey John’s OPPS!

No excuses this year baring injury

Everyone keeps saying that but until the forwards perform he's got excuses. And it remains to be seen if the forwards will perform this year

Please don't tell me there is an substance to the Mitchell Pearce rumours.

He would likely bring a variety of substance with him.

Its like employing a financial planner
They are there to help you get the best return on your money

Financial planners being there to get you the best return is actually the complete opposite way to the way the industry works. Financial planners are there to take money out of your hand and offer nothing at all in return.

Warren Buffet agrees with me.

Just for the record, that is not my quote, I was responding to that quote.

My quote was,

"As long as we don’t employ Elijah’s financial planner.
Some of them don’t want to return your money."

So I guess, along with Warren Buffet we both agree on the usefulness of financial planners.

As a financial planner, thats a little offensive. There are plenty of good ones out there that you don't hear about. Its only the rogues that get the attention - all industries have them.

Sorry if I offended you, and I would agree that there are good and and bad operators in every industry, and I take it that you are one of the good ones in your industry.

I understand that there has been a bit of a shake up in the industry in recent times relating to disclosure of commissions and requirements to put clients' interests first and for financial advisors to disclose any conflicts of interest.

However, various inquires and Banking Royal Commissions haven't done a lot to enhance the reputation of financial advisors.

My own personal experience with 2 or 3 financial advisors that I have had initial meetings with haven't really given me the confidence to part with the 2 or 3 thousand dollars that they wanted to come up with a plan for my particular situation.

Thats fair enough Hank. The Royal Commission has started raising the bar ie. degree required etc which can only be good for the industry.

Many people are skeptical about advisers for good reason but hopefully that changes once the riff raff has exited.

Financial Planner (and my naivety) cost me $250K after investing in Great Southern and Timbercorp investments. I was lucky - some others committed suicide. Good and bad in every industry- I found the worst grub on the planet

Wow .. that’s a pretty horrific ordeal to go through mate ..
You must have a well paid job in order to recover ..

I think the forwards have what it takes next year.

I would like to share your optimism, but most likely we will be dominated in forwards, as per usual. :confounded:

 

[Snake]

The forward pack at this stage looks pretty good IMO.. obviously injuries will be the key to success , with the starting pack I do not think the majority of teams will dominate .

 

[LeichhardtTiger]

The forward pack

At last - a sensible post in this thread related to actual Footy! Yep, if fit our starting forwards will be solid. The youngsters will push each other to be selected. I don't think losing Josh A is a problem. From memory he suffered pre season injuries which affected his early impacts in recent seasons.

What are you basing that assessment on?

Our forwards look stronger. We were about the 13th/14th best forward pack this year and I’d rank us 8th/9th next year based on past performance. What is the clubs plan to get us to the promised land though? We are well on track for 9th.

Defence. I can see us scoring 20 plus , but we need to shore up the defence

Mentioned on here a few days ago that Mansour should be done by next week, but things have changed... Mansour has told a mate of mine 'Not happening news to me', unless he's lying but he seems like a good guy. Guess we have to wait and see what happens 🤷‍♂️
