chook fowler

I hope that when he does come to us, which seems likely, he is given the benefit of the doubt and everyone doesn't try to find fault. He obviously has talent and Goodwin must have had a close look it him. I have little faith in the system at Essendon overseen by Hird. He may well flourish in a new environment.

Rather have the Toump as depth rather than M Jones or Terlich, unless we get a good deal for, which seems unlikely.

Would be formidable in combo with Petracca, Brayshaw and Vanders.

Sounds more like a soccer player.

Could be Danger-ous?

Good. We'll take Treloar.

I've never got involved in the Wines vs Toumpas thing so I've got nothing to get over but anyone who thinks that Wines won't end his career as a great player is fooling themselves.

Doubt it. Wines is a star.

I can't believe the penny hasn't dropped that our club is now run by professionals of the highest calibre. They have nothing to prove. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Happy to trust Goodwins and McCartneys judgement on this. Also PJ and the recruiters won't pay overs for him.

I think we should take a lot of comfort that we are not leaking players like GWS, Brisbane and Gold Coast. In fact most are making a case to stay. This would suggest a very positive feeling in the group about the future and a strong bond between the players. Hope I'm right.

I don't know anything about this guy but he sure generates a lot of negativity. Can anybody explain why? I would have thought Goodwin would have a lot of insight and wouldn't chase him he was a dud.

Butcher by name, Butcher by foot.

Does DNA stand for Do Not Argue?

There is a real sense that something is going on of significance. Have the feeling a big fish will be landed from left field.

I think we should get BBO to entertain them both.

Yarran - NO. Don't need another lazy front runner

Goodwin would know a lot about Myers and probably would be behind any moves to get him.

Howe in recent weeks looks more switched on and exuberant in his interactions with his teammates- wonder if that means he's made the decision to stay.

llower than a snakes belly

I think Maxxy is pretty committed to the Dees. Would be surprised to see him go.

I assume you mean misinformation.

Trouble is Jimmy is going about as well as the Greek economy. Next contract may be in drachmas.

I think Roos rates Garland, as do I, so I would surprised to see him go.

Far more confident in our list management these days. Happy to accept their decisions - if they want Prestia it will be for good reasons. The recruiting so far under the new regime has been impeccable.
