He's a topic starter:

Recruit Woewodin. He's been getting 40+ disposals every week in the WAFL, we'd get him at a bargin basement price and he already knows most of the older players and has signalled his desire to return to Melbourne.

Why not?

Next year is essentially meaningless. So too the year after I guess.

How about we use that bargain basement price to draft a young kid who might not make it (we lose maybe a year or two of Woewodin as a contributor - at best) but who might turn out to have what it takes and be part of the McLean and Bate era that has a crack at the flag.

Wrong. The next two years are our window. The time to win a premiership is now. We have a great mix of experienced, middle tier and youngsters. Save for injury, this could have been our year. In three years time there will be no Neitz, no White, no Yze, no Godfrey, no Holland, no Pickett, no Ward, no Brown, no Wheatley, no Wheland and possible no Robertson (he'd be close to 32 by then). That's a lot of players that will be leaving, none more important than Neitz. You can't under-estimate the importance Neitz has on the team. When he doesn't play our forward line falls to bits, every single time. He is the staple holding the entire forward line together.

When he doesn't play our forward line falls to bits, every single time. He is the staple holding the entire forward line together.

So you want to prop up our list now in the gamble that an ageing group of Neitz, McDonald (you missed him), and White can carry youngsters - who are generally inconsistent - to a flag at the expense of building for the McLean & Bate era?

I don't share your faith in guys like Yze and Pickett at all. Blokes like Holland, Ward, and Brown aren't especially talented and are fringe types who wouldn't get a gig in the best sides IMHO. Whelan is struggling to get out on the park more and more, and while I rate the guy I wouldn't bet on him breaking his finals hoodoo and win us a flag.

Providing we can adequately replace Neitz at FF (agree it's a massive hole) and White in the ruck we'll be better in 3-5 years when the mind and bodies of guys like Petterd, Garland, Frawley, McLean, Jones, Bate, Dunn & co. have matured.

PS. Wheatley won't be gone in three years - he's ~26.

Woey was a great player, but i think its time for him to wake up, and come to the realisation that no one will pick him up for next year

He was a slight chance of getting drafted at the end of 2005

He was a 1 in 100 chance at the end of last year, if there was a team desperate enough

He is absolutely no chance whatsoever of getting on an AFL list next season, despite the no. of 40 possession games he gets in the WAFL

plenty of worse players have been picked up at his age in the preseason draft. and at 29, the age when he was delisted by collingwood). i am surprised no one picked him up back then, because i think he woul dhave played for zilch. and i am dissapointed that a player who could win a brownlow (especially for us) could be effectively out of the game at 28. amazing really.

but this is a stupid thread. and you can't really think we should get him back if u have any idea about footy.

He wont play AFL again and he knows this.

But why would he not consider coaching

He is apart time coach at Freo at the moment.

He said he would like to be involved with MFC in some way in the future.

Not a bad thing i think

Oh hang on......is he serious?????? :o:o:o

My first thought was that the suggsetion would be to recruit Woey as an assistant coach. I guess that just shows how little credence I give to the idea of him playing at AFL level again.

What might be interesting is Woey being a player/assistant coach for Sandy, like Rigoni did for a year after he was delisted by the Demons.

But of course, there are probably going to be about four of the demon's older players all looking for a spot in Sandy next year!

Sandrigham line up for 2008 -

B: Brown Holland Lamb

HB: Woewodin Bizzell Ward

etc.. etc..

Assistant coach to Gary would be a great role for him or how about fitness coach or something?

*just a hint* you might want to check how to correctly spell the name of the man you want to coach.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
