Hee Bub, now that's suggestion that us folk won't have too much trouble following !!!

6. Sylvia 5. McDonald 4. Morton 3. Buckley 2. Bruce 1. Miller And I have to agree with Deanox that I didn't think that Bell was too bad today. Maybe that isn't a huge wrap but given the result and the way we played it is massive praise. Hopefully he can take that first half in which he wasn't beaten too badly considering how often the ball was raining in and make something of it. Also apologies to Garland, Warnock and Martin who were under enormous pressure all afternoon.

The service to the forward line was at worst non-existent, at best scrappy...... That being said none of the forwards were able to put any kind of print on the game, and Newton really needs a hell of a lot of work. He was there abouts for parts of the game, but he doesn't seem to work hard enough especially in defence. And when the ball gets below his feet, or isn't delivered on a dime, well its not particularly pretty.

And right now, at this point in time there is no way he should be...... But there is a hell of a lot to like (more than a lot of his elders) and we hopefully will see that as he matures.

Fair enough....... But I'm just sceptical of these kinds of "in the know" comments <_< .

And I guess we are assuming that the original statement is completely accurate?

More than a few times especially in recent years........ I don't like the changes, I can almost understand them, but I certainly don't like them. That being said a good hard fought loss is all we need !!!

I did and it made perfect sense, but still doesn't change my mind !!! Hopefully Greeny will be a bit more vocal, but with Fevola (urrgh) on the panel it could be very difficult. Anyway its good to finally have a body on there, it happens so rarely !!!

Nope I am almost certain he has been on at least once before !!!

Babe I'm in Sydney so I don't know, only what I read here !!!

Ironic if he ended up at Sydney !!!

If true...... And thanks for the info Golgothan it's nice to hear some background on the guy who is probably now the frontrunner for the role, maybe?!!!

I think we are all talking ourselves into a mess (an affliction at this time of year)....... Especially given that no-one has actually publicly declared the want to move, or be moved And most of our opinions are being based on Gerard Healy's unfounded speculation. We'll know soon enough, but if he goes (and I'd trade others first) lets hope we get a worthy return.

I've sent you a private message so we can stop irritating each other in public !!!

So the same team that has played for most of the year then?!!!

My dear Rogue I get it, but that doesn't mean I necessarily and automatically agree with your opinion ........ And this seems to be Healy's bug, but if Green is not happy then he has every right to look elsewhere.

Off he goes then, to anyone willing to offer us anything !!!

Turning over the list is always a must, and that has happened recently (prior to last year it was ordinary) and will continue to happen as our older lot retire. We will be losing some of our "favourite sons" in the next couple of years. As for Green it all depends on what any offer would be, and frankly I can't see any club offering a first round pick or even a low second round pick, which is exactly what we would be expecting for a player of his importance to us. Which is why he may remain more important to us than on the open market. The draft is compromised for everyone and they all have futures to think about as well (even the currently successful ones). And I still think there needs to be a couple of older players (mentors) to take care of the kids, and with or without a pick for Brad there will still be plenty of kids which we will be able to put our future in the hands of. But a few old heads never hurt anyone, especially a couple of classy ones like Green or McDonald. But again it all depends on what is on offer.

Fair enough but I had read that belief more than a few times, and that was just the last one I got to before having to say something...... Should I now apologise ?!!!

No you are being a little judgemental....... There seems to be a sense that he is automatically asking for too much and frankly we have no idea what is going on.

Which we probably wouldn't even get...... All clubs are in the same boat as we are with the future drafts and unless they can get a guaranteed superstar, like maybe a Kerr or even Didak (although their off-field stuff may dent the trade appeal) and would be in my opinion opinion unlikely to cough up a first rounder or even a low second rounder for Green. That doesn't mean he is useless it just means just as Maurie said, that he probably has more value to us than in trade terms with another club. And I still think that in the wider community Bruce would draw a higher market price. Just my opinion !!!

I wouldn't have thought any team is "innocent" in terms of trying to poach certain players from opposition clubs if it suits them. And trying to play the victim to the big bad bad Demons just makes the Dockers look as hypocritical as they are. I am thrilled that the club is being proactive in trying to get someone that they want and as long as no specific laws are broken then so be it.

Oh fellas really...... I have to say that I really liked what I read in the piece that Bub put up originally, but all this rumour, innuendo and statements being made without a shred of evidence (to us that is) to back it up makes the whole situation sound ridiculous. I realise that is a hell of a lot of what we do in here, but still. Grimsey honestly you can't just say that Fox is nearly there, giving a percentage no less, but isn't happy with Stynes and not expect people to react. What you have said is a fairly massive statement, but where does that opinion come from? How do you know? Is it close to the truth? I am not automatically doubting that you may know more than the rest of us, but that doesn't mean we don't get the right to question you when statements like that are forthcoming. And 45 I am not sure Wheels is quite tall enough to be the mascot !!!

Ok, we have no idea what he is asking, nor do we have any idea what the club is actually offering, so lets not through taint on the guy just yet shall we. And I still maintain that we will not see a draft pick under 25 for any of our players, especially not with the restrictions coming up.

Congratulations to Cale...... A well earned reward for a great start to what we hope will be a wonderful career :D !!!
