Elusive Tunbridge

.

Perderson played some great footy last season and will contribute this year working on his consistancy fitzy will also stay on imo . Every club has back up players and I believe both could make it in the one's on what we have seen so far .

Ingenious way of getting around the Pederson censor.

No thoughts, just hopes.

i read the headline question. Has anyone answered it yet? Or do I have to read the thread?

The original will o' the wisp half forward. In my mind's eye a high, looping punt wobbles through the goals at the city end.

Sharing the assumption that van Demon will be elevated pronto, the second elevation still remains in limbo. I expect that King will be left to mature and learn his trade at Casey this season, so if there is to be an elevation it's out of Harmes and White. I suspect that Harmes is under the greater pressure to shape up this year if he's still to be with us in 2016.

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.

I'm pretty sure that McKenzie was only put on the bench at the last minute, after JKH was injured. He was meant to play at Casey but went to Etihad as insurance. He wasn't needed, and played at Casey in consequence. No point in using Brayshaw as an emergency sub, I'd have thought.

Rushing inexperienced kids into the team before they know how to look after themselves might be all right with #1 draft pics, but not #3.

This:

"He spent his early childhood drifting around the paddocks of a large property in the NSW Riverina when his only real friend was a young Indigenous girl."

Marked him for life.

I think either Bail or Jones will be retained because I expect Roos to let Brayshaw rip it up at Casey for a few more games. If Pedo goes OK today he'll surely come in for Dawes - no way Jamar will be dropped. JKH only missed because of a late injury, so he'll be back, probably for Toumpas as you suggest.

as woeful as viney's disposal is, at least he attacks the contest. he'd be in my starting 22.

Not sure about this. He's a terrific "see ball, get ball" player, but he's a long way short of "see ball, get ball, use ball". I don't know how coaches develop better decision making, but if it doesn't happen he's got a limited future.

I remember that, just before Hawke defeated him, Fraser gave an interview in which he talked a little about his childhood, and I believe that his commitment to human rights and opposition to racism was lifelong, and not a late blooming.

Tony Abbott's tribute to him made no mention of this, but was confined to the narrative of saving the Australian economy from Labour's profligate spending, which was Fraser's narrative at the time. Abbott used the same narrative himself in 2013. Fraser proved to be a poor economic manager, but probably not as clueless as Abbott.

Agreed, Bobby. I also thought Jesse started to work into the game later on, and will be much better for the run - he knows now that he will have to deal more effectively with FBs who try to monster him. I was happy with Frost's game too, and certainly wouldn't write him off as a relief ruck just yet. They've only just started to train him for this role, and it will take a while. In the meantime we have fast, aggressive young tall who's willing to have a go whatever we ask of him.

But if we can replicate yesterday's teamwork throughout the season, we'll get first crack at the draft for sure.

These types of posts are hilarious. Its the same as suggesting we automatically become better after each loss as we "Learn" from it. If that was the case we would be damn near unbeatable.

All it shows is that you know nothing about football.

Just home from a disappointing game and I've read through this thread. ding, I'm sure you have some opinions about the game, but overwhelmingly you seem to prefer to pour contempt on other posters. Just goes on and on. I wonder about the state of your soul.

What would you like to see happen, fence?

There are always going to be elements of risks on both sides of the deal with any signing.

The kid is happy at the Dees, we are happy with him. A bloke like Salem re-signing is a good thing.

The other option is that we don't re-sign anyone for fear of things going wrong.

This is the essence of it, I think. The first year is tough, and tougher for him because of his golden ticket, but the supporters took to him and he obviously loves playing footy. I don't know how he felt when he kicked the sealer against Essendon, but if you could bottle it we'd all be drinking it.

We have this ongoing fear that players will leave us for a better offer, but I just don't believe he's going to Scully us.

Selling memberships isn't work, it's a privilege and more of a hobby.

Absolutely. Volunteers should pay the club for the opportunity to make large numbers of cold calls at dinner time. Some people get all the luck.

Your comments re the umpire are interesting. I was with some doggy supporters and they were annoyed at the umpiring as well and thought that there team was hard done. I did not think the umpiring was a factor at all. They missed and paid frees for both teams that the other side would have been howling about.

I wasn't troubled by the umpiring in general, and I don't think they favoured either side. The HTB interpretation struck me as offering little chance to the player in possession, and I wonder how teams will adapt to it - reluctance to take possession? hurried disposal? something else?

oh sweet, cheers. wtf did you read that?

Read it somewhere.

Then you got me worried, so I phoned the club. You have my permission to attend.

wtf is there is no free entry for members? they are making us pay for this garbage?

Scan your membership card at the gate and walk right in.

You should end your posts with a full stop, TDI. In this instance, after "good or bad".

If we can get 40,000 members onboard this year i will be happy...

29,510 at the moment. 35 looks good, but 40 is a bridge too far.

Unlike you to be dismissive of other posters, TDI.

I got it to work on Safari. A small victory over the Evil Empire.

Roos secured the Sydney coaching job when the players jacked up and demanded that he be reappointed. He's clearly a man who inspires faith in his team, and perhaps we're seeing signs of that here. It's pretty clear that Lumumba came because of Roos. If I'm right, this means that the transition to Goodwin will be a critical moment for the club.
