Elusive Tunbridge

Gone.  He'll be sent straight to the tribunal, three weeks down to two with an early plea, and Roos will send him to the naughty corner.

Other teams will look to provoke him until he proves he can control his temper.

Are you saying players want to make sure Roos is gone before re-signing?

If Jesse isn't clear what the coaching structure will be next year, he'd have to be a little bit thick.

Any ginger wearing 13 is all right with me.

I don't know why the MCC members, the ones who fork out the most every year to see the Dees play, are considered to be the least knowledgeable supporters

There's an obvious level of commitment/dedication there, simply by virtue of the cash you have to fork out

 

So wrong in so many ways.

i suppose that is why a club official at the agm, when asked this, said "at worst" we would expect he would only be unavailable for a few weeks but if you want to believe they were prepared for a one season suspension, then go ahead, 

 

If you want to believe a club official at the AGM, back at you.

I thought the possibility of a twelve-month suspension figured in the decision to offer Melksham four years rather than three.  Trying to read the minds of the notoriously closed-mouthed Melbourne FD.

Distributing "like" like confetti on this thread. Demonland in "up" mode.

Might be worth giving him a go, if Goodwin likes him, but I expect Essendon to price him out of the market.

Umm I think you need to re read the thread.

It was my comment and I just added "and a war dance".

Did it not take place?

I just add it to the stat's listed.

Butter wouldn't melt in your mouth, old dee.

For mine, you would want to keep Garland, Gawn, Fitz, Toump , Pedo, Cross (another year) Harmes and King. Don't know enough about White.

Cut White and you'll wind up getting another rookie on the same money - you have to fill the list. He'll stay. Jamar's retirement would free up some money, but the salary cap is certainly an issue. Confident it will be sorted.

Agreed, CF. Bilious History is a special branch of fantasy fiction.

I'd like to see Aish at MFC. After the last round of trades/drafting I'm confident that if our selectors think he's worth getting, they won't pay overs for him.

A vandenBeg/newton type? Would that be like an apple/orange?

One of teh old club stalwarts like Todd Viney could also help out by setting Hoges up with one of their daughters to strengthen his ties to Victoria

Plain, weedy nobody like Jesse would have no hope of finding a partner himself, especially in a small town like Melbourne.

my friend has told me a few times that Jesse has said he probably wouldn't go back to Perth at all if not for his family, that there is so much more to do in Melbourne, and he loves being in the home of footy, apparently a lot of his mates are over here now anyways, besides Dom sheed who is an Eagles boy, jaeger up at the Suns and David swallow is up there too

Perth is a very nice place to visit, but after six months the walls start to close in. And they don't have the G.

If we have a full list, including JT and CP, we can't offer a contract because the position doesn't exist. A contract for 2016 is a different thing, as rpfc points out.

it's a great story (so far) isn't it maurie? seeing young players develop seemingly from nowhere is one of the delights for a footy follower

Barry Oakley wrote about this in "A Salute to the Great McCarthy" (1970).

"It is the story of McCarthy, the brilliant young footballer from the bush, and his adventures when he comes to the big city, determined to succeed."

Barry Oakley also wrote "Let's hear it for Prendergast".

Thank you.

Keep forgetting some are a bit sensitive here..

The older types are more sensitive to change, bet a few around here are still holding on to their VCRs cursing this new fangled DVD phenomenon ..

Warm, wet pockets all around.

Av - or maybe AvB.

Hnmm you are as seriously Biased as I was with my support of one "Juice Newton"!!

Look, he has played 2 and a half good games in 2 plus years!

Shhesh he aint and never will, have it!

Would love to be proved Wrong but I cannot see it! Little pace and not hungry enough!

Time to move on, He aint the future!

Of course you would. We all know that.

American Sniper - bad in so many ways. Eastwood claims it's "... the biggest anti-war statement (in) any film". Chatting to the chair again.

Agreed. In the best of all possible worlds, Ollie is in the Port LG.

But then, if we had drafted Wines, he might have had a career-ending injury at his first training session and we might still have got Petracca and Brayshaw. Endless vistas of speculation...

Only someone suffering from groupthhink would deny the accurate use of groupthink

I expect you know what you mean.
