Lacking a superstar?

An ugly mixed metaphor if ever I saw one. How does one harp on a chestnut?

Get back to class, bell has gone, kids are licking the whiteboard.

Back on topic..... maybe our superstar is our coach.

    said this before.so dont be bored.

    jack steven,give this man a 7 year contract.will be a dominant mid in the league for this period.

    and the saints had a coach last year who was willing to trade,any amount would have been worth it.

    We have a superstar and his name is Lynden Dunn. We need to sign him ASAP before other clubs get in this mans ear. He is UFA.

    I thought last trade period that Stevens was categorically out of bounds despite their willingness to trade anyone else (ie McEnvoy).

    he probably was,buuuut they had a loose cannon as a coach and he wanted trade day to be his opus.

    wouldve given them keys to the safe for jack steven..

    He isn't a free agent at the end of the year

    Toumpas, Tyson, Hogan and Viney.

    They will be our superstars.

    yes, i agree, but the whole thing is we need someone now to show them how to do it

  • Quote

    Yes we lack a superstar, but I would rather see a team orientated game plan executed to perfection first and witness stars evolve from that.

    Hawthorn and WCE are two fine examples at the moment. They have an array of quality players but their team orientated brand of footy is their highlight.

    With regards to Hawthorn yes we can list off Hodge and Mitchell but they are certainly not in their prime, Roughead is also a beut but they clearly state they don't want to focus on one target to try and make their team less predictable and harder to shut down.

    Right now we do not need a superstar.

    We need players who are willing to learn and work hard.

    Later the superstars can be approached.

    Yes he is and he is one of our best. We need to sign him ASAP.

    It's the bill and teds excellent adventure conundrum isn't it.

    Bill: Ted, while I agree that, in time, our band will be most triumphant, the truth is, Wyld Stallyns will never be a super-band until we get Eddie Van Halen on guitar.

    Ted: Yes, Bill, but.... I do not believe we will get Eddie Van Halen before we have a triumphant video.

    Bill: Ted, it's pointless to have a triumphant video before we have decent instruments.

    Ted: Well, how can we have decent instruments if we don't really even know how to play?

    Bill: That is why we need Eddie Van Halen!

    Ted: And that is why we need a triumphant video!

    Both: [think for a second] EXCELLENT! (guitar riff)

    We lack depth in the 16-30th picked area.not the 1-5.

    In order to stop the Heinous rot of the past we need to learn to be totally Excellent to each other on field in order to be... triumphant... in the future!

    This would include no more bogus delivery to the forward line that way.....we can.... party on....dude!

    Thats such an indictment on the MFC

    Every other club has had multiple superstars since then

    What the hell is wrong with this club

    Yes he is and he is one of our best. We need to sign him ASAP.

    I agree, Dunny was in the top 2 or 3 on the weekend and is a key player in the backline. I now Frawley is an all Australian but Dunn is equally important, some of his delivery during the switch was outstanding we just found it hard to capitalise. We cant afford to loose either Dunn, Frawley, Garland or T-Mac. That is a defence that could take us to finals.

  • Quote

    We dont currently have superstar, the closest is Jonesy wo is probably tapping on the door. I think Clark could have been but I doubt we will see him again. Hogan and Howe have potential and who knows about Salem and JKH. I thought Watts game on the weekend was excellent so who knows we may get some return out of him.

    Very sad state of affairs.

    A seriously good question Bbo

    The answer: I have no idea

  • Quote

    All those players named would be dying to come to the Dees, if nothing else, just to add a few flags to their CV.

    I think our first task is to get rid of sub standard players, adopt the Roos recruiting philosophy of adding a few more good hard players, by trading an early pick for a lower pick and a player for example and starting to climb up the ladder.

    When we start that climb and show we are on the move, then we can go after a star player or two.

    You have my vote Redleg.

    Not sure how I am going to fill in this winter waiting for the changes for 2015

    lol reminds me of bill and ted's excellent adventure.

    To be a most excellent famous band, do we first need eddie van halen to join the band and help us a make a triumphant music video? or do we need a most triumphant music video to get eddie van halen to want to join the band?

    dude i think we need to learn how to play instruments first...

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
