Kinder.

You mean he sounds like he's straight out of kinder.

 

RPFC, have a read of your post, you sound like your straight out of kinda. You sound like an insolent little Brat.

Really?

Maybe I thought that your post about Jamar having no firends amongst the playing group was something akin to kinder speak?

And I am pretty happy with the readbility of my posts.

Insolent? Yes.

A brat? Yes.

Well structured and easy to follow posts and arguments?

It's the off-season folks.

It's the most interesting time of the year for me. The only time it gets more interesting is if we were playing in a PF.

 

No. They didn't think much of him. Imo they didn't think he had It.

I could see he could. But needed some, encouragement, prompting, and maturity.

I hope he thanked you in his AA speech.


Yes - it has to be a net change of -3.

Even without trying to rehome Dunn and Bate, coming up with three outs should be a piece of [censored]. Maric and Wonaeamirri would be delisted with the promise to rookie list the latter. Warnock on to the trade table then delisted if no takers.

You're right though - it's the possibility of trading in players that makes it interesting. It then becomes even more critical that we try and find a home for those other two, and I'd accept pretty much anything in return, including a downgrade of third round picks (Jade Rawlings deal) if we were absolutely desparate. The other option is to delist while in contract, but that one always makes me nervous.

Bit harsh!

Joel Macdonald must be in the frame.

 

I think this guy might have something to say about this. I for one know he has had 40 on his back pretty much since the day jamar came to the dee's.

Yeah, I copped years of crap for wearing that number on my back, 6/7 years now (4 diffrerent jumpers), with a badge thrown in there for good measure. Friends were buying me drinks and giving me congratulations when he bagged 5 against the blues, I got messages of congratulations when he made the AA team last year. My support has never faltered.

My girlfriend reguarly questions who I love more, her or the big man, I'm very good at changing the course of conversations


We've already delisted one player so only two to go.

As well Robbie I have a gut feeling that Neeld will not make wholesale changes to our list this year.

May want to find out for himself how good the list is.

But look out at the end 2012 if you have not provided the goods.

Having said that tomorrow he will announce 10 delistings

Murphys Law. I agree with you it's not what the previous coach and Demonlanders think it's what he thinks. We are prepared to swap/delist/retire half the players but he may find that with a bit of hard work there are some gems in amongst them.

If any haven't read it already I suggest that you have a look at this.

Some have just about written off Maric but he may be something that Neeld sees some value in, perhaps in another area.

Also its supposed to be a very thin draft this year - I wouldn't expect many delistings - a few trades if we can do it - but not many delistings

Im just wondering how much Neeld may already know of this list. Malthouse was onrecord as saying this was the list he would have been interested in, had things been different. So Mick obviously had done some homework and it would be reasonable to assume he 'might' have passed on or indeed discussed in some manner this info with Neeld.

Given the now famouse "gaps " on the board Im inclined to think Neeld had a fair idea of who hes inclined to move on, who to keep...and who might need a closer look.

I'd completely forgotten that. That's how quickly I've moved on.

Traitius Maximus - gone

pick from the following

Maric - delist

Warnock - Trade if he wants out

Wonna - delist/rookie

Bate - Trade if he wants out

I'd do the minimum list changes this off season by most reports this draft doesn't bat deep

I cant see much player movement before free agency and an untainted draft next year.

Firstly clear out all rookies and start again.

Warnock - Trade

Bate - Trade

Wona - Trade

Morton would have been my first on the list until last week's bombshell two year deal.

Comprimised draft = minimal movement.

Firstly clear out all rookies and start again.

joking surely...

I'd keep Nicholson and Evans they showed plenty this year

Lawrence and Johnston we haven't even seen

Having no friends. No I didn't say that.

I think I said that maybe they, the players, didn't believe he, 'Had It'. I think he had plenty of friends.

No, I posted a reply about your childish writings & rantings. Not your spelling.


As far as No1 ticketholder, I was It when the Russian didn't have a friend even amongst the players. So, you'll just have to do your homework young fella.

Hoisted by his quotes. I love this place! :)

Fair enough, I can see I used that word, but that wasn't what I was intending to Imply. Poor grammar. (As in Believers).

I was trying to say that No one believed in Him. Sue me, I'm not a Solicitor.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
