i have no problem getting career mfc players just over the line for a milestone game before they retire. if we were aiming for finals it wouldnt have happened, but it is a good thing to do. if we show loyalty to players we're in a position to demand it back.

Injury has slowed this guy down, he was an elite player just a shame we took the gamble and paid the big bucks to find out, and his last game against the hawks was more than average kept us in it for a long way i did enjoy dutchy smiling to the crowd that day 3 goals not bad for a chump i would say

When was he an elite player?

Actually, it sounded like it was JIMMY that said to him that he needs just 2 more games to reach 300/ life membership.

That's what Ooze said.

Then if it was Stynes that decided Ooze should get to 300 games, I have major concerns. Also, I was under the impression we hired Slade group to find us a new CEO (at no doubt considerable cost), and yet all I read about Craig Camerons decision to rethink and accept the role was that Stynes kept ringing him asking him to reconsider. Should that not be the role of the Slade Group to canvass and follow up candidates, not the President?

I know Jimmy is only new to the role, but if he doesnt want accusations cast on him as being a control freak, he needs to let selectors and consultants undertake their roles independantly and trust their decisions.

Craig Cameron's?

Don't you mean Cameron Schwab's?

Whoops yep, Cameron Schwab! Thanks HT

Holland in and Stef Martin to make way.

That would be a stupid decision. If Holland is to come in it should be for Newton.

My thoughts precisely, Holland to FF.

I agree, and if reports from the luncheon are correct, I wouldn't be surprised if Newton missed.

IMO Holland will be the supporting ruckman option guys. Not to say he won't go foward and kick some sausage rolls...

That seems probable. Looking at the team, you'd think that White will ruck, with Holland forward, then when White needs a break maybe he'll go to the bench and Holland will ruck.
