Cheers Rusty !!!

Yes but to continue the merry go round here..... If his body isn't up to it according to us then why the hell would another club off us Pick #8?

Posted this in the Aaron Davey thread, but equally applicable here....... The unfortunate reality as I see it is that he has always been required, and has played well enough often enough to justify his selection. That is quite obviously no longer the case. Appalling attitude, numerous poor and extremely costly performances and what seems to be a complete incapability to lead means he can no longer justify his ongoing automatic selection. We have been through this with "sacred cows" as Range Rover put it earlier in this thread, in the past, and we can't and shouldn't support that any further. He (as well as few others) needs to be told in no uncertain terms that what he is putting out there in skill as well as (and maybe more importantly) attitude and leadership is completely unacceptable to this team. He is no longer a protected species, and must at the very least try to perform or he will suffer the same fate of a lesser (for want of a better word) player. Now we all want him to be back to his best, to be accountable to the team and the match and to lead, but right now his inclusion is only justified on a very long past reputation, and that is no longer good enough.

Followed by what, no more email, in fact no more internet, then mobiles and land line usage, then no contact outside the club at all ever..... Come on please, stop clutching at straws !!!

Bub, he's of little to no use right now on the 'G either.....

Sympathy voting ?!!!

Not unlike the media at large......

6. Watts 5. Gysberts 4. Martin 3. Jones 2. Evans 1. Sylvia

I think that covers just about all there is to cover !!!

Well they are playing out of Rooty Hill, not going so well for them so far !!!

Hadn't we already ?!!!

Well it started with the movie, but I love Cleveland, not the city so much although I do sympathise with the Browns and the Cavs...... But the Indians, yep definitely my guys!!!

Annoying? Hayden Ballantyne Jake King Steven Milne and because he shouldn't be left out Brent Harvey

Thanks for that assessment Bub, we have our fingers (toes and everything else) crossed !!!

While I understadn the isue with our track record, an individuals attitude is exactly that..... A player, any player has control of their own attitude and desire to get the job done. I get that it is harder in a developing side with a poor record but you can still want to get it done.

Lets be honest, given your endless and apparent total disrepect for the man, you would run Brad Green over with your car .

Would it be wrong to jump in here and be a happy little Indian fan?!!!

How about a tall 20 year old with 25 games experience?

How quickly we forget.

Yeah I don't know if it was "unreasonable", not to me anyway..... I understand though how the AFL deem it as such, but personally I though he was pretty honest.

That a Demon fan misses a match !!!

They would say that he was abusing the AFL decision and that is a no-no..... Which is what he did, but you have a very good point.

Me too.....

I understand the sentiment, but that doesn't really help the club..... And they need our support now as much as ever.

Urrgh......
