On good authority/ The "good" mail....

I can only imagine that the players' attitude must have been unprofessional and disrespectful of the club to evoke such a response

Have you played much footy? I always found that fire and brimstone gets better results than hugs and kisses

Yes I have played footy, and played it hard and tough without resorting to the biff, as Carey said on Talking Footy, backing into a pack is tough, not hitting or grabbing someone, nobody knows whether the story about Viney and Martin is true, would be surprised the Players Association wouldn't make a stink about Viney still being in the industry if it was correct,

This topic is now degenerating into the usual bagging, move on, the Club is going forward

well eff him and anyone else that has/is contributing to our pizzweak culture - a culture that has us gone 50 years without success. I hope Viney gets them all by the throat and that they are sent packing if they don't walk the line

this culture has crept in after smithy left, & has ebbed & flowed thru peaks & troffs since. and we've never had a depth a talent & ethos of elite hard work, accept under Barrassi/Jordan - Northey eras. then slack re-entered again.

those damn slippers must be banned from around the club. AFL footy is a sleeves up, get into the muck job, which involves loss of blood, & plenty of bruises, given & taken. & injuries aplenty.

we've had too many who take, but don't give enough over the years.

this culture infects most all kids who don the jumper. Can't blame the kids, its the leaders on & off the field, who hold the standards, & therefore allow a culture to grow.

I have good mail that we will only be receiving mail twice a week . So I think that will make it the pretty average mail.

Quote your source. This kind of outlandish statement starts wars. If you're not prepared to name names then retract immediately!

I would have thought 3 times a week average and twice below average?

I say bring back carrier pigeons.

this was such a good thread topic, which could have had really good info. in it.

Oh well, back to doing what we do best; you think Watts or Toumpas will make it?JimSigh.gif

It's a hard one Song. I just wish we had picked that other bloke, Wines. Has that been mentioned yet?

I hope those looking at WC - A Gaff have reconsidered. Is the definition of a soft down hill skier. Had 1 tackle last week in the wet when Pridis had 18. IMO does not play the style of football Roosy want's.

don't know, stats can lie. especially if a player wants Out.

I would be surprised if we went there, we certainly wouldn't offer a high pick for him. Stretch will be a better version anyway.

Wouldn’t use a high pick, but if he’s coming out of contract, I’d certainly gauge interest. There’s always the threat of the PSD if we lured him home. We might be able to bargain the Eagles down to a second round pick in this scenario.

Whilst he hasn’t kicked on from a promising start at West Coast, he’d still be a good addition to our midfield group. He gut runs to find the ball on the outside and uses it neatly.

Wouldn't spend a 2nd round pick 'Chaser', we need to use some of these now but depending where we finish on the ladder that PSD pick could be a winner. The AFL may not like how we use it but we need to play hard particularly if they don't come good with a PP.

I have it on good Authority that Scott Lycett has verbally agreed to terms with port Adelaide and much to the disappointment of the eagles the two clubs are trying to work out a deal, this probably hurts our chances of being able to snare Callum Sinclair if we were looking at him

Callum just signed a 2 year deal with the Eagles last week so is probably off the table anyway.

SPR im not trying to question your sources but you seem to be in the know with alot in the AFL which is alright I guess but your strike right is pretty..

If West Coast knew he had already verbally agreed to Port Power he wouldn't have been picked to play this weekend.

It's one of those things Dazzle, I work in fitness, and know a lot of the AFL fitness guys so I hear things that way, but it's amazing how quickly things backflip on you, I am pretty happy to just say what I hear when I hear them based on the assumption nothing will change, this is coming from a family member of Scott though so i'd say it's going to happen unless WCE block it

    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
