Franklin and Thomas may end up the poster boys for the pitfalls of Free Agency.

Building a list continues to prove to be an art form that can't be mastered with $.

... or without $!!!

Jabberwocky, I agree for the most part. However, when you see the gifts bestowed on Gold Coast and GWS, I'm not completely convinced. All things being equal however, and I think you are right. And Thomas may prove a greater flop than Buddy. They're in trouble and it's good.

I'd have offered Murphy for trade for boyd certainly, Mick needed to understand that it was a one step back two step forward type situation

One thing contributing to the issues at Carlton is an expensive recruit who isn't performing It’s black and white: Daisy’s no Blue

But Mick wanted Daisy!! So, Mick (and CFC) got Daisy :-)))))

There's a lot more to leadership than that, you either get it or you don't.

You never got back to us Machsy. What's that phrase you're so in love with? NFI

Machsy doesn't need my help, but let me answer anyway. To be a leader you need to have followers. Hodge has followers; Nick Reiwoldt has followers. I'm not sure Chris Judd has.

And this is not a criticism of Judd. As I've said before, it doesn't matter whether you're intelligent, courageous or highly skilled. There are plenty of examples of footballers with those qualities who wouldn't have, or didn't, make great leaders. And, conversely, others who become terrific leaders even if they're not anywhere near the best player in their team. For example, Nick Maxwell. Or, in another sport entirely, Mike Brearley.


Symptomatic of what I was alluding to, but not exactly.

I'm not going to give a dissertation on leadership, but a key component is communication.

Jude's sometimes aloof and disengaged personality is not conducive to good leadership.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.
