Oh you mean On-field, do you mean Seller, is He our 'Leroy Brown'... Is that why we went for him, big, strong, aggressive???

who knows? Hopefully Neil Craig had some good info...but we certainly do need the enforcer type at the club.

    He did not show a lot at the Crows, i think he was delisted?

    Why do we think he is going to be a world beater at the dees?

    I do not expect much beyond a bit player role.

    Was he delisted under Craig's watch ?

    Interesting view on the importance of captaincy from Glenn Archer from a Herald Sun article.

    Archer said: "I don't really care who is captain. At the end of the day, it's more the leadership group than the captain. If Boomer was to stay on for another year, I don't think it's going to hurt anyone.

    "But if he was to hand it over to a young guy like Jack Ziebell, that would have positives, as well."

    Asked if Ziebell, 21 next month, was ready for the captaincy, Archer said: "He has got to toss the coin and give a bit of a pre-match speech. I don't think that would be too hard for Jack."

    He makes some interesting points doesn't he. The leadership group is more important to Arch, and he would know. He always played flat out.

    Craig resigned/sacked/boned on 25 July 2011. Sellars was delisted at the end of that season.

    From Sellars record at Adeliade, Craig was not picking him much. it would have been doubtful that both could have been at the Crows in 2012.

  • Quote

    My point was though, did Craig have any involvement in the decision to delist him at Adelaide ? Given Craig was boned/sacked/resigned graciously before the season's conclusion, I doubt Craig had the final say at Adelaide on Sellars (ie not under Craig's watch), and given he and Viney may have put forward Sellars name in a positive light as an option for late in the draft for Melbourne's recruiting (and a second chance) of a tall KPP - I believe Craig may have been a tad surprised at the Crows decision.

    I hadn't factored that in, but both Craig & Viney would have coached Sellars whilst at the Crows...Let's all hope they both knew something that the crows don't, going forward.

    Read post 290 on this very thread:

    "I was listening to Neil Balme on the radio the other day and he stated that the leadership group is considerably more important than the individual that's made captain."

    My pray list is getting a little long wyl!

    not sure I have time for one after

    - Davey returning to form

    - Green back to 2010 form

    - Grimes and Tappscot staying healthy

    - Fitzpatrick firing up

    - Clarke being worth the dough we are paying

    - you know who getting more than 4 touches a game

    - Cook getting a game in the Casey seniors

    - losing by less than 10 goals at Geelong

    and the dees having a game plan that they can implement.

    Not sure my knees are up to too much more time beside the bed.

    I will bring some sedatives to the AGM O.D. You are definately in need after years of heartbreak.

    I genuinely believe that we have a great coach beginning his reign...

    Only results will tell i know...

    Apparently they played him as a forward. And must have judged him thus.

    It seems we are looking at him for defence? or as our LeRoy Brown?

    Had a knee Op just before Christmas and back on the bike last week wyl.

    Slowly coming good.

    My wife tells me to fire up a dees player would have been back in full training 2 weeks ago.

    Only difference is about 45 years!

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
