Actually, the scoreboard flatters us.

He looked in slow mo.. Was good to see him kick one near the end.

Why isn't Fitzpatrick forward? They are just double teaming Hogan.

Hahah, Viv, well done.. He just pushed him over, get out my road bish.

One thing is clear, we need more Clisby's

Howe would've used those 4 spuds as step ladders, so well umpired.

So it's ok for Blicavs to throw it, but not ok for Howe, alright then.

That wasn't a free to Horlin Smith, he ducked into it, what a farce, joke.

Looking forward to seeing 'the savior' go around, good luck Hoges.

Yeah agreed.

AK had an exceptional year. That is basically why he got redrafted. If Jurrah done the same, he'd get picked up. AK actually speaks extremely well, I make the assumption that he isn't coming from as far back as Jurrah.

Lets just take any win we can get.

Jones as selfish, lol.. I only hear this one on demonland. Reserved, yes.. Selfish, absolutely not... Jones leads by example on the field and has always had the respect of the players. There was a couple of separate groups before Moloney left, it was only natural Nathan would've hang around the older heads - as they were the midfield. Grimes hung with the younger guys, naturally, therefore him and Trengove got more votes amongst the players. This doesn't mean players thought Jones was selfish, just that they were swayed more by Grimes and Trengove, we let young kids pick our captains and we have let young kids run our club.. Gave the players too much say, before these players were even AFL grade. In the meantime, Jones was busy racking up B&F's and was respected by older heads in the game - experts who had actually achieved GREAT feats in the game, not kids who haven't even proven themselves...Roos was a fan of Jones, amongst many in the media - who thought Neeld couldn't run a bath, let alone a club. Everyone outside of Melbourne known Jones was the logical choice, we went the other way and had no leadership.

Roos has respect and our list will respond to respect, it is why Jones has always been our best choice as captain. Players respect Jones, just as they respect Roos, we have a list that simply will not budge for anyone it doesn't respect.

Symons might get a game in the main squad, I don't think the others will.

Sorry to hear that. This 18 games is 18 days IMO will be a success, just like the big bash was a success. I think we'll end up seeing football regularly played on Monday and Thursday - possibly even one of Tues or Wed. I have been to the sportsbar at Crown to punt on the GG's - it is a great environment, If I lived in the city I'd head there to watch the footy, regardless of having it at home.

Is the future.

Maybe Watts should've been a mid all along. I've been swayed by some astute demonlanders that this may be the case. If so, Watts is a must have, it is certainly worth the risk, he'll be around the ball and is a SC dual position player. At 411k, you could do far worse. Definitely a risk worth taking. Dees are going to be like 2013 Port, but probably even better, we will be SC gold. Dom Tyson is a must have, he'll end up around 450k,

Yeah I've squeezed Watts in, he is too cheap not to - plus as you mentioned, the midfield role. On top of that he is dual option for supercoach, forward and back. I couldn't fit him in my star studded backline, so he is in my less than average forward line.

I have Vince, Tyson, Hogan and JKH. It was a toss up between Vince and Trengove, but i'll see how they go in the NAB cup.

I think we have 2 rucks for the future, Max Gawn and Max King. Jamar could possibly be useful this year and next if fit, this will allow King to develop. 2015 onwards, Gawn will be our no 1 ruckman. 2016 onwards, Gawn and King will be our ruckman. In 5 years time, King will overtake Gawn and go on to be the best ruckman we've had since Jeff White.

Mine was Watts, he should rack them up as a midfielder. Can be picked either down back - or up forward - in the supercoach. Vince, Tyson, Hogan and JKH look the goods as well.

Jack Watts will be the most improved.

I'd be disappointed if any of our players blamed the previous coaches or board. Nathan Jones didn't seem to have any trouble performing, it comes from within, Jones knows this - as do all the elite. We've had a lot of pea hearts on our list over the years, thankfully most of them are now gone.

COLA is just one of many unequal areas in the AFL, but under the current socialist regime - it will not be removed. Once Vlad goes, then hopefully the next bloke can work about fixing up this big mess.
