Big call by Crackers Keenan - GWS will struggle

Critics of Sheedy have said he only went back to coaching to break Jock McHale's record but he believes the fire still burnt in his belly.

He was rejected by Melbourne and Richmond before becoming the successful candidate for GWS.

Others have said that he went back to coaching for an even more fundamental reason and that he made the courageous move to Bleaktown for the same reason his star player did - the $.

And that is the stuff that failed franchises in sport are made of.

This is a strange article by Crackers.

He's having a few bob each way when he takes aim at GWS and then says that the place is a "promised land".

While he looks at the veterans (mainly on pensions) recruited by GWS his analysis completely fails to consider the inexperience and lack of physical and mental maturity and quality of the five uncontracted players picked up by GWS with the help of the generous concessions provided by the AFL.

There's nobody there in that vital mid 20s age range who can lead this squad and provide the necessary on field guidance to cope with the team's initial years in a tough competition. At least the Suns recruited such players as G. Ablett Junior, Brown, Brennan, Rischitelli, Bock and Fraser who were the backbone of their team last year to provide that guidance for the kids.

GWS picked the eyes out of the young talent in a shallow draft and have some very good young players coming into the system but we know it takes years of development with the help of seasoned players around them to bring them up to the levels required to achieve a successful combination on the field.

I think it's going to be an even longer wait than even Crackers thinks and it might not even happen at all.

Is it any coincidence that free agency will be introduced around the same time as a team with bottomless pockets?

GWS will get all the players they need, by hook or by crook! Mostly by hook but plenty of crook too I'm sure

Not necessarily. It does mean though that victorian clubs such as the MFC have to improve in all areas of contract negotiations both GC $un$ and GW$ will not have bottomless salary caps forever. If i was Nought Melbourne or Footscray i would be feeling a little vulnerable.

Complete proof there was no knee soreness causing those 'average efforts' throughout the year.

It's not in my nature to wish a career ending injury to anyone but.............

lol @ that article.

Is that for real? Wanting to find out who'd win if Scully sat out? Hey genius, how about the guy that comes 2nd to Scully, I reckon he might be the one.

I agree DC. But not the point.

well DeeMfc in order for there to be a point you would have to believe at least something shoddy said.....and there is the dilemna

unless your point is that Kevin Goebbels is spreading misinformation and propaganda again

"And of course not only have they already got players but next year under the eagle eye of Phil Scully, the $100,000 recruiting man, they'll have even more young talent."

Crackers taking the urine. Love it.

I also hold very bitter feelings about the snot nose kid ( may he rot in hell) but complete proof - please point me to where the article gives complete proof he had no knee soreness last year ?

He had a bung knee - he was out for the better part of the last half of the season and now it might be feeling better ? is that a possibility ? It is unheard of that a footballer has an injury, rests and it gets better ?

Actually, I would have thought that the article could just as easily be construed as complete proof that he does have an issue with the knee... it is certainly a much more feasible explanation for having him do a lighter training load (75%) than his team mates... as was mentioned before, all Shoddy needs to do is watch who follows Sulky in to work out how well they are traveling.

In other words Sheedy is saying

"Tom has a saw knee that the whole of Australia hope buckles and we have to restrict his training and always will"

Go F**k yourself you greedy bunch of scumbags

Yup - you could certainly read that into the article.

look closely at the label and you can decipher the words "genuine polystyrene"

Are you talking about the label on the weights or the label on Scully ?

This is the Scullduggery thread, right? I posted a huge picture of the Sculldugger himself!

Honestly, I am sure most of us are over it and just despise him. Couldn't help myself when I found an oversized picture of Benedict Arnold.

Yes, but Benedict Arnold rarely appeared in Pro-Revolutionary War Forums for fear it would embolden the enemy and just [censored] people off...

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
