Oh ok, So he was maybe criticizing Gawn, or maybe thought we shouldn't have re-signed Spencer? You believe everything you read on the net BBO?

Christ Stu, settle down and try (I know it's difficult for you) being logical. Reread your comment - it's silly. I believe there is something called list management. or future planning. Now, given Jamar's age, and the fact that both Gawn and Spencer have had serious knee issues would it not be prudent to keep an eye out for future replacements?. This not being disrespectful to anyone - it is good planning.

Being logical? Like making assumptions on what a poster meant despite what he posted and then starting yet another argument with me cos it's just what you do...

Were you in the Hassett Room Stuie?

It's actually up to someone to prove something DID happen rather than it didn't. As I said earlier, you could make up anything that way. ie- Peter Jackson told me in the Long Room that you wet your pants. Now, were you there at the time to say it didn't happen? Cos if you weren't then that means it DID happen.

Far out. Have you guys even been on the internet before?

I didn't make an assumption Stu - I postulated an alternative. Now go away and learn a little about the rules of logic and debate before engaging with me! Goodnight!

When you "postulate an alternative" but disregard the others you're making an assumption.

Paul Roos said at training the other day that you pick your nose and eat it. Now, being you weren't there to hear it then it must have happened.

im not the one disputing a posters comments on the forum, who was obviously at a pre match function where some information was given which GIG chose to share

Stu you have this childish habit of needing to have the final word. This is not uncommon in one who has not attained full maturity and cognitive development but, unfortunately, it tends to confirm those very facts.

The final word? Like continuing to post after saying "Goodnight".... Nice to meet you Pot.

Give it a rest, children.

Stuie is right to question whether or not the comment was actually said, because it seems an ultra odd comment for an assistant coach to make, and we have heard many fabricated rumours on here. Also, the retort of 'you weren't there so you can't deny it' is not a good one. Just because I wasn't at the royal wedding doesn't mean that I'll believe someone when they say that the Queen gave Prince Phillip a wedgie.

The question was asked " will we target a KPF in the off season" as Dan McPherson is one of our forward coaches. His response was what I posted earlier. They will be looking to bring in a ruckman.

Believe it or not I have better things to do than make crap up to get a bite out of a pathetic poster on this site....

You said "they will be bringing in a ruckman to replace Jamar". Big difference.

Jamar's contracted for next year so obviously he didn't mean replace right away.

As Roos said to ling post match, games are won and lost in the middle. We need more quality through there. We corrected the midfield in a big way but Cross is 31 and Vince is about 28.

We need mids and half backs that can run and use the ball and get it forward efficiently.

I think mids. 2 or 3 mids can easily be tagged out of games now, 6 or 7 good mids cant be. Tyson being tagged last week made me realize it when we didnt have all that much depth to pick up the pace.

I do think we need another key forward to join Dawes and Hogan next year, if only because you have to account for injuries. It's left us very vulnerable this year and basically meant Roos has had to compromise his ideal game plan until he has the necessary players to pull it off.

I'm not sure another KPF is required if Hogan comes good and Dawes remains competitive but hits the scoreboard a little more regularly. For me the void seems to have been created by Howe's move into defence. I think it was fairly widely accepted that Howe would be that third forward to bob up and kick a few here and there and maybe one day become a Bruest or Gunston type. Maybe he still has that ability and potentially under Roos he will provide. At the moment though he's made the back half his home.

Stuie get off the internet and go to the outside world because everyone here clearly understands there is merit in the comment. It's bleeding obvious since Jamar came back in how much we rely on him FFS if he goes down we are in a spot of bother for a while again. Spencer and Gawn are not ready to lead our ruck division yet. Meth Coast have Sinclair, Lycett, waiting in the wings for Cox or Natanui, Freo have Sandilands, Clarke and Griffin playing well in the WAFL waiting to get his chance. That's just two sides with 3 players capable of leading a ruck division not to mention those they have waiting in the wings.

Back on topic in regard to a KPF or KPT young Tyler Keital from East Perth has stood up well for WA in their games so far, is a forward but can swing back and take marks floating across half back. Some good upside in this kid.

Salem will be a high quality mid, Tyson nearly is already, you'd think Viney is a lock to hit the elite bracket.

Nathan Jones is relatively young still. Also, I think Vince can play till he is at least 32.

I still remember Bernie dominating a SANFL game a couple years back and he is one of the more natural footballers I've seen.

Vince is pure football, I see no reason he cannot keep playing for another 5 years.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    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

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    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
