I think we draft well, but recruit poorly eg Bilings, Sharp etc

Was Lewis selfless at the Dees ?????

It's extremely frustrating, annoying, maddening and soul destroying watching him kick long to a contest, ignoring short options only to see the ball slingshot back for an opposition goal.

If only Captain Parmenter were in the side.

We'd be better off without supporters like him he likes stacking crud on us and always attacks us.

I'm disappointed that Gawn said that they "broke our spirit" - makes us sound very weak

AJ has only played 2 games. I haven't seen him, is he not up to it???

Melksham needs to find form at Casey first.

Hore reinjuring his calf doesn't bode well - they call it an old man's injury and they can be very problematic

If that's the case, then it makes sense that we are a very inaccurate team when shooting for goal

I think we should play McDonald as the relief ruck up forward/wing then Turner can play TMac's role in defence. We should play Fritsch closer to goal and Roo at CHF

Spargo

I'd have him back. We hopefully still have a good relationship with him. We need a ruck once Max retires. I'd give them future picks etc....

Would rather have a specialist kicking coach, we waste so many shots for goal and end up losing games even when we have more forward entries.

Is that a "Gino" quote. I saw an ep of that English morning breakfast show back a piece and he said it then.

Maybe i think I read that he's in town at the moment shooting a film.

He might want to go, but unless we get a deal we like then we hold him to his contract. We let Neal-Bullen go, but that never played out in the media. I reckon we do a swap for Jackson or then 3 first round picks and they need to be like Bolton's picks not 16,17 & 18.

We have been left behind by clubs like Geelong and Carlton. They've gone to Ireland and recruited players. We haven't for over 2 decades. If it's a funding issue can't they ask for donations from the Demon faithful.

You'd think he hasn't come forward to state his preferred club because if he says us, then he may not be able to be part of the Academy program. Also if he wants to stay up north he could come out and say his preferred club are the Suns. Therefore I'm hoping he picks us as he'll have Gawny as his mentor and play forward ruck for us like his dad. Secondly the Suns have another couple of Academy players that are ahead of him, how can they pick them all. Camporeale twins went to Carlton from SA, rather than try their luck in the draft and maybe have an SA club select them.

Gawny to have a ripper

Please

I think Brown will surprise a few if he gets into the side.

Genuine question why have a second team. I don't have one and never will. I don't understand how people can follow a team like say Fitzroy/South Melbourne then follow them to Brisbane/Sydney. I sometimes have a sofy spot for ex- Melbourne players who've been traded but that's it.

Height can be misleading. I think a player's ability to leap is more important if you're trying to decide between certain players etc, think of Jeff White he was 195cm but had a huge leap.
