Jetta has been transformed

Gawn our small forward!

God the umpiring is shite
-
There are no simplistic explanations or solutions to issues such as this. Let's just acknowledge with sadness the waste of a great talent. Pleased to hear that he still values the connections with his Dee mates. Looks like it is the hope of playing footy again at some level keeps him going.

Gorne for 2-3 and so he should be. Thug.
-
I think Robbie missed a lot of games thru injury and that caused him to miss a few Best and Fairests
-
This is what dreams are made of. Final piece of the puzzle should it happen. Way better than Patton and probably on a parr with Lynch as best young forward. I think we are going to have to cough. up big bucks at some stage to complete our list. Having Tyson there may be a good start. Fingers crossed.

This bloke has to be given the flick. Anything that comes from his mouth is derogatory. Hopefully Allison and Miller will undo any damage done.
-
Yes but you can observe body language and indirect cues. Fun to speculate.
-
Should have added that I think it's highly unlikely he'll be there after 3 years as coach but seems committed long term to the club in some capacity. It's all looking good I reckon.
-
Interesting watching Roos on 360 - Bomber basically endorsed Ling and Roos was coy re Kirk. Bomber implied it would be a bit weird for him to be coach with Roos there. It's between Ling and Kirk I reckon.

Melbourne should offer Patrick Dangerfield a $10 million contract

To contradict what I said earlier was impressed with Danger today - not a great game by his standards but showed real G& D today trying to lift the Crowes despite playing hurt. Great leadership I thought. -

Not the right path for us and not the way Roos works. It must breed resentment as has been shown in the past. My other concern with rapid accelerators is that their hamstrings are prone to ping and they're never quite the same again. Too risky in the long term. -
You're right but it's therapeutic to stick the boots in. Don't spoil our fun.
-
I have said it before but next to Roos I think George Stone is the most important to tie up tightly. Much of our midfield turnaround is due to him. As long as he stays in place and we pick a coach that has the players respect we'll be OK.
-
Reckon GWS should relocate to Tassie - a state that understands footy. Could swab felafel for King Island cheese and mutton birds.
-
Hope they implode. Was destined to fail. It was all about Vlads ego. Wouldn't listen to advice including from Roos that it would be a hard sell. Also Sheeds has a lot to answer for. Can't say I'm sorry. The Scully decision must be biting them in the bum. What a joke he's a million dollar player. Doubt he's one of their top 5 midfielders - run with player at best with no penetration with his disposals. Gees schadenfreude I feels good.

Nathan Bassett has a good record of success and seems to be able to gel a playing group.

Players to target at the end of the year
chook fowler replied to JackVineyForPresident's topic in Melbourne Demons
Not sure we need to replicate Cross with a Sewell or O'Keefe. Our leadership stocks are now pretty good. Would prefer a 22 - 24 year old from a good system. -
Peter Jackson must be convinced to stay on.

Really can't see Roos as CEO. it's not that he couldn't do it but why would he? He is a hands on footy person not a bean counter or numbers cruncher. I know there is more to being a CEO than that but they are at arms length from the footy dept and I can't see Roos enjoying that situation.
