Whispering_Jack 31,368 Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 What did he say? I heard him. Line and length interview on all aspects of the MFC, CSFC, the alignment and the players. Obviously thinks Hogan will make an impact as early as next year, likes Jack Fitzpatrick and a few of the other younger players coming through the ranks and spoke highly of his Casey listed players. Diplomatic about the departure of Neeld and the changes at MFC. 1 Quote

Whispering_Jack 31,368 Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 This time last year, there were a few people who felt that the Western Bulldogs were "tanking" to improve their draft position and, on cue, they lost the last 10 games (didn't look like winning any of them including one against a badly injury-riddled, out of form Carlton). Had Melbourne fared slightly better they might have finished 16th and had our draft position with the possibility of snaffling Jesse Hogan. I sense that we're about to see a repeat. Could GWS beat them at the weekend? 1 Quote

If we get done by GWS it will be " dees tanking again" Beggars belief Edited July 2, 2013 by old dee Quote
Red and Bluebeard 2,101 Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 You know rusty that all stems from the WW2 were the Poms put out the story that they were superior to the Germans in fighter planes because they ate lots of carrots which improved their eye sight. The reality is was 99% crap and Propaganda. To get an advantage you needed to eat massive volume of carrots over a long period of time and even then the affect was marginal. Sound familiar? Bomber PR department! Are you saying that was the problem with the reality bus? If only success was 99% crap and propaganda, in which case I would have a 99% chance of success at anything! (and if the remaining 1% was banana cake ... ) Quote

Redleg 42,156 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Posted July 3, 2013 I keep hearing from different people, that we have Roos as Coach next year. Not sure if they are all peddling the same rumour or have knowledge. Each time I ask for the source, it is just, "that is what I have been told." Quote

Redleg 42,156 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Posted July 3, 2013 I wonder if Roos has said we must get a PP if he is to agree and the AFL have agreed and tried to soften the blow with Gillon's statement, recently. Then again conspiracy theories could be just that. Quote
Redleg 42,156 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Posted July 3, 2013 On the MFC site, Craig is suggesting a couple more guys might get there chance this year and he named Davis , Taggert, Tynan and possibly Barry. I would like to see the first three get a chance this year. Barry can wait until next year, as he just doesn't look ready. Quote

H_T 3,049 Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 I am hoping for Port to win, to put a break on the Blues and for the Pies to then smash the Blues next week. Love to see them finish ninth. I prefer Ninthmond. Just for kicks. Quote
