I have not heard him on the radio or in the press for a while.

Has any body heard him speak or noticed a press article, where he has been quoted?

NO! But I heard GREG today, he spoke well of how the current management are going.

He has been too busy looking at recruiting a couple of tall players for next year- I guess after the stuff ups in recruiting over the last two years in not obtaining Nic Nat & Lewis Jetta as a rookie.

The sad thing about this post is that you're not joking.

I know jayceebee quite well, and he continues to reassure me that Jack Watts will be a very good player for us, as i have my concerns. Whether or not what he said above was tongue in cheek or not, i don't know, as it is so hard to convey tone through writing. However, he is a staunch supporter and believer in Jack Watts.

I think what jayceebee is referring to with the Natanui comment, is that we really did ourselves no favours in winning 5 games back in 2007. We could have picked up both Watts and Natanui if we'd 'list managed' a little better in 2007.

But then all these other possibilities wouldn't have come about, such as Sam Blease and would have we won fewer than 5 games last year if we had of had him?

I have noticed however, whenever Natanui is mentioned on MFC boards, everybody gets extremely defensive. Everyone on this board realises that there's an elephant in the room, but simply refuses to acknowledge it. I hope Jack Watts becomes a great player, better than NicNat would be great, but no one can deny that Natanui will become a very good AFL player. If you do, you'ree just living in dream land. It's as simple as that.

There are parrallels with Hodge and Judd here. Hawthorn castigated themselves when they missedon Judd in favour of Hodge, but on balance theygot it pretty right.

We should not be too concerned, it is early days.

Hold on, didn't you start a thread on Watts and how he might be no good?

Now your telling us to not to be concerned?

Make up your mind.

When there's an event on involving the Demons, CC is never far away. He was at his brilliant best last week interviewing Aaron Davey and Liam Jurrah at the Women of Melbourne Long Journey function - http://demonland.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=20237

Chris Connolly has the complete faith of Jimmy Stynes, and this says it all. This is now a 'club' with the kind of solidarity we haven't seen for a long, long time, and still there's a chorus of pea-brains amongst our supporters who [censored] and moan from a position of complete ignorance. Witness also the ridiculous postings on Jack Watts, and the weekly spray of vitreole to a rotating host of players. Whilst this has been less in the past two weeks, almost no-one escapes.

This is a fan website, sometimes fascinating, sometimes funny, often infuriating, and too often just pathological. Part of enjoying the seeds of resurgence we are seeing is to seek out the enjoyment of others, but so often it ends up being wild negative speculation. As was written in an old song...'you've got to accentuate the positive'. A worthy mantra I'd say, and doesn't it kind of sit closer to the Jimmy Stynes method?
