Bay Riffin

Saw that. Just a gut feel but roos to me is never one to reveal much and I get a shifty feeling with him. It's an annoying trait but he dodges questions like a politician. I remember him acting so surprised as an innocent ex coach at what Brock revealed when the footy world knows he instructed mcveigh in a nab cup game to not kick goals up forward. Maybe it just me.

Are you trying to outdo Freo on there poor trading record.

Yes lets rate our players on their form in just recent games. Myopic thread of the year this one.

Hawthorn got a first round priority pick twice then on the 2nd time got buddy.Did they DESERVE it ?

And your hogan report ?

Can we please NOT put a first year player front and square as the person on our main supporters website?Appreciate the efforts why oh why do we put this pressure on our new recruits?

if thats is true, then that is DISGRACEFUL.

Grimes, Garland, Clark missed a year plus due to foot injuries. Viney and Evans currently with foot injuries.

Bartram was a great competitor and very good tackler. also would have been a candidate for worst kick in the AFL when he played. shocking technique.

Why is everyone wanting McDonald in as midfield coach? What are his credentials? Not as a footy person etc but as a coach?We have inexperienced assistants already.

I am now convinced neeld is completely deluded. Questions were exactly what you would expect - did you lose the players ? You must be unhappy with progress? Lack of development of players eg watts and blease must be an issue? He just denied any issues of any of the above. Not even a hint there was any issues or problems. Everything was hunky dory.

Did he have a pretty good leg up at Port though? Without the extra recruiting advantages how would he do? I'm unsure.

I'm sure Vossy gives him hugs when he goes missing completely once the opposition take control like in the collingwood game.

Interesting you would make that call after he has had a quiet game. Why elevate players when they aren't getting the pill at VFL level. Taggert looks good but wait till he hits some form at least. Fitzy got in the best multiple time and is just holding his head above water at present.

Geez I hope this is wrong. Being screwed by a manager of an 18 year old to become one of our highest paid players before he gets a game.That's just the pits for us as a club. Our hard earned money we spend on this club should go to an experience midfielder to come in next year and help us rise up the ladder. I will spew if we pay hogan that much now.

Not a fan but he should be given a couple more weeks against some lower sides. He deserves that

Blease continued pathetic defensive efforts have kept blease from playing. Not neeld.

Well he hit back. sure its like Peewee Herman punching Mike Tyson, but it was the most venom (the only venom) hes used.

Well McLardy had a crack at him. First time I've seen him throw a punch with any venom.

Yes that open mike was very interesting. seems like a very honest character, but even that was tested when Mike brought up the Barry Hall decision which enabled him to play in the grand final. no way was that in play and low impact.

and are careering past Brisbane, Doggies on their way up the ladder as well. Was always going to happen. but yes we should be talking finals not being on the bottom.

The development of gold coast is actually not that interesting, given they had unprecedented draft choices + Gary Ablett the best midfielder in the AFL + were able to secure blokes like O'Meara through the mini draft which is just pure icing on the cake..oh and there's more...the next year then secure Martin through the mini draft to put some icing on the icing. As one judge said they will have number one picks playing back pocket. and FYI Swallow there true first number one draft pick is currently playing half back. If anything you could question their lack of key position power, why not draft a Jesse Hogan given they had Ablett, Swallow, Bennel, O'Meara, Matera etc etc. They are positioned nicely to rise up the ladder but is that un balanced side sustainable for finals footy ?

He did help oversee debt demolition so he gets a big tick for that. I would like to know the real reason for his perosnal loan a few years back. does anyone know ?

Ablett, Scarlett, Tomahawk...handy trio right there. arguably best midfielder and full back I've seen, and Tomahawk structurally very important to their third premiership.

So why Icke? Yes he is ex Melbourne? But gm of footy operations is extremely important. Were freo and Carlton that great under his tenure?Same question for Jnr McDonald. Model citizen but can he coach ? I have no idea.
