This is the list... there is no one else.

I get the concept, but I have to dispute the premise. Hugely presumptuous to think there won't be another top 10 pick. There almost certainly will. Plus the list is still being built, with the midfield being added to again next year. This is not "the list". Not yet,

The optimism around here is a good thing, a great thing, but there seems to be an EXPECTATION of a miracle turnaround seeping in. Roos needs time to fix this mess.

There is no doubt about your premise, but the point is, draft picks, as they were in the past, cannot be seen as a panacea. We are where we are now, because of that blinkered belief. The main point is, there are a number of pieces to the puzzle before we climb up the ladder. Draft picks may be part of the solution in the long run, but certainly in no way, are they the panacea once hoped for. No-one here realistically expects "miracles" from Roos, but our hope is that we begin to see something in 2014 that resembles team, unity and belief. If I see that, I will be happy. Anything else that may come our way will be a bonus as far as I'm concerned.

Agreed.

We'll have a top 10 pick next year, because, quite simply, we won't be good enough to get out of the bottom 10.

The list is also not complete. A list with Dunn, Strauss, Blease, Jetta, Nicholson, Pedersen, Byrnes and Tapscott on it is not complete.

Oh, and this is definitely NOT the list... at the end of 2014 it is not unreasonable to think that another 5 or 6 could be gone and there is certainly no guarantee that we won't be getting a top 10 pick again next year (in fact, it's probably odds on that we will).

Wait is this a thread for like a motto for our players or who we will have in 2014?

If its the 2014 thread wait till the next offseason to discuss it.

No, it appears to be more a thread dedicated to misconstruing its intent and missing the point.

Hahahaha,i think this is a bit of a crappy thread to be honest.

Sorry to drop this nugget and run. Thanks for taking the reins Beelzebub and Iva ws and yes that's what I meant.

Not literally the will be not further changes but rather the ideology that they should not rely on further injection but grow together, trust each other and expect to get results from the work they put in as a team.

Having said that can we turn Nicholson over now?

So...."This is the list guys! This is all we will have. Except you Dan; you're cut.

This is all we have! Neville? You're cut.

Those standing here are all we will have!!

I can't wait to cut you next year, Lynden..."

I don't really agree with the sentiment, Territory.

We are getting a top 10 pick next year, and maybe a good player in FA/trade. We don't have a good list. There is more pain and change to come.

Nah, I like Nev's attitude towards the pill, he can stay.

Sorry to upset so many but I think this list, (with a few MINOR tweaks i.e. no more quarter list dumps) can go places.

Go Dees and show em the path Paul!

Very profound Lord. I shall assume an appropriate Zen position and reflect on your wisdom.

That was a Neeld quote....btw whilst looking back on Neeld's tenure I found a post from Ron Burgundy Ï absolutely love Mark Neeld back in March 2013, that should be a lesson to us all, Lord Hear Our Prayer.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
