If he takes his time and someone can get through to him that it's not his job to win the Dally M, but just grow over the next few years then yeah, I think he could be a fine pickup... The question is whether he can control his ego and wear that role. Those sorts of traits aren't easily overturned...

True, and if someone like Robinson can't get through to him not sure what BA can do. Still he's a talent and like Segs could be plenty of upside and might not cost the earth.

Yep the only thing that might get through to him is when he has to change teams because his attitude won't get him a contract extension. Probably a small chance of making a difference though. If I was looking at signing him I'd be coming down hard on him and what was expected and how he better pull his head in if he wants to play here before I'd even talk money. If he can't handle hearing that then he won't want to sign and I wouldn't want him too

Would go well with Foran maybe??? Good back up plan if we don't re-sign Norman.

I've read this 20 times over and I admit, I need help understanding.

How is this a whinging post about how crap the club is? I can't quite decode it. Thanks to whomever translates for me.

Yep, tough love is what he needs.

Norman's mates will sort him out.

I think the old praise, criticism, praise method. We think you have great footy ability that would suit this team. Your attitude is shit and you are a nobody who needs to take a good look at yourself. We think if you work on your attitude you could be one of the best this game has seen.

Use this on my kids all the time works well but they don't have a poor attitude to start with

It's probably better than leaving your kids in the woods to be eaten by Japanese bears.

The drums are beating louder for a return of the special one but hey what would I know?

 

[Twizzle]

Does he have his own percussion section ?

 

[hineyrulz]

Can you hear the drums Fernando........

So we're signing Dilhara Fernando?

I'm genuinely excited Twiz. If we are smart we should keep it secret and announce it at halftime prior to our next home game.

Same, would love to see him in the blue and gold again.

Foxsports will get at least 6 articles a day out of this

Others have heard similar but they are not big noters like me and sticking their neck out.

I'll wait til that Tahnee woman confirms it.

Might be OK as a rangy backrower.

She did cross my mind. Good on her if she has a scoop.

I certainly hope your info has legs. Even if just for a little while.

Her post last night goes against your scoop Avenger. She says he won't return.
