There hasn't been much said about Jason Taylor's impending move to MFC since Collingwood got upset about poaching their people back in February this year. It is my understanding that he will leave the Pies after the national draft to join us as the National Recruiting Manager.

I assume that a contract has been signed and he is definitely coming. Does anyone have anymore news on this front?

Does anyone else believe he has given us a few tips under the table for this upcoming draft seeing as how important this year of picking up guns is for us?

No. He's a true professional and will see out his contract with the Pies in that manner before joining us when he becomes available.

Over the last ten years we have been extremely poor in player selection hence our current position on the bottom.

This year I propose we try the "names in a hat" method until JT comes on board.

It is difficult to believe we could do worse.

Well I hope!

Better still, use the names in the hat to chose a Phantom Draft option from Bigfooty! thats a lot more professional ;)

.... although we could get screwed if there is a typo :(

Suck on that one eddie! :)

Eddie?

The guy who held Taylor to his contract and left us in the uneviable position of moving Todd Viney down and sideways to be Head Recruiter for a year?

Yeah, we really showed him...

Funny I had the same thought rpfc

Still I think we have it covered with the "names in a hat" technique

I really hope this post is 'tongue in cheek', but just in case it's not, does 'high performance with high integrity' ring any bells?

I sincerely hope he hasn't given any 'tips' and I sincerely hope no one from the MFC has asked him. Edited by djr

Yeah that sounds good in practice.

If he does give us a few tips under the table, then he not the sort of person we would want put in charge of our recruitment. That would be incredibly unprofessional and a breach of his current contract. Would you trust him not to do the same to us in due course?

No, Taylor is better than that and will join us when his contract expires or before if released from the Pies earlier.

Poor Eddie !! pawwwwwwwwwwwwww Edddddddyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy !!!!!!

altogether now.... Poor Eddie !!! :)

I really hope so.

I must fess...I kinda hope he's winked and nudged at least :)

I just hope he is the best at it.

And that includes not working for us at all until his contract begins.

We have already been burnt enough with recruiting.

thats right ...stiff upper lip stuff ...rahh rahh !! etc.

I only want whats good for us.. F*#k the rest..I really dont give a damn after all this time.

Other clubs play the game to suit and win, they also win premierships... Weve beena dumbclub, fessing up to thing s when is wasnt required and punished probaly more for stupidity than breaching any rules really.

Who gives a flying if we get something , honestly. Were Demons , therefore surely faustian rules apply.

There is so much scullduggery in this business, in this sport only a naive idiot plays totally by the rules, especially as these same said rules often screw us.

The rules arent kosher, why abide by them religiously ? ( association intended )

So what's so good about this guy?

in simple terms.. what has Collingwood got we havent

also where are they, where are we.

Often it comes down to cattle.

Moo !!

I have an uneasy feeling about heading into such a big draft for the club with the recruiting setup as it is currently. They really can't afford to fudge this year up with such a strong draft hand.

Hopefully it is not one of those things we look back on and say how the hell did this happen. Obviously they can't do worse than CC and BP, but they must do a hell of a lot better.

who's talking AFL Rules here?

I am talking Business Rules.

"Loose Lips Sink Ships" is a beauty, says it all. We must play hard ball & give nothing away.

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
