picket fence

Poor poor James, How's this Gem this morning in the Hun, refering to the impact of the WADA appeal. "That cloud has come back and is causing a bit of a fog around their Brain and decision making in a game" You must be kidding so the impact of WADA creates doubt in the split second decision making of the players WOW !!Comedy GOLD! All I can say is bloody ripper!! Couldn't care less if this brings the club to its knees and eventually wipes them out for good! Now let's see one team less!!! I know, let's coerce Nth to Tassie and become a truly national competition!

Shows just how much Grimes has fallen, Matt Jones getting a game in front of him must cut to the bone!!

Spose we could also have call this "Should have been a Demon"! Ollie Wines would have made this list! Another lazy 33 possession game yesterday "Sigh"

Watts definitely in!!

I loved Rod Grinter hard at it, scrupulously fair a wonderful player! Sigh What I would give to have Rod Grinter and Byron Picket in the side right now! Pretty low act of Terry Wallet trying to eat Rod Grinters Hand but years ago! Very low act indeed!

Riley an irresistible in!!

Ok, I am not an advocate of the monarchy! In fact I abhore the right of people through parentage to draw obscene amounts of cash, cruise the countryside and do very very little else. The Feudalism system is alive and well as long as these types are allowed to flourish! About time Australia became a republic! Let's totally cut Psychological ties with England and be bold! Happy Birthday be Buggered! These people do not serve any useful purpose that I see!

OUT : Passengers , NQR and half at its! INNS : Hard as nail grunters Consideration outs: Watts, Bail, M Jones, Fitzpatrick, Howe, Toumpas Consideration inns: Combination of Tyson, Riley, Newton, Jamar, Gawn, Neal Bullen, White, ( yes White ...elite kicking skills can find ball)

I refuse to respond to Dazzlemans rhetoric but I will say this! I responded RESPONDED to another posters view was that Jimmy Toumpas "Gut Running" and "Improved courage" were great improvements. Ok well A player can do all the gut running he likes but if he doesn't run to correct position it might not result in a possession or even an advantage. That was my first point! Second point I was responding to the notion that Somehow Jimmy Toumpas has magically improved his Courage over the past two weeks. Just think about this statement for a minute. Either you have got courage or you haven't . At AFL level this is a non negotiable! Why this was even brought up is beyond me. But because it was I commented on it. THAT IS MY PREROGATIVE! FWIW I do not have it in for Jimmy Toumpas but I judge his footy on the basis of results. And in my opinion the results so far are on the negative side of the ledger! I hope for his sake and the MFC we continue to see improvements in all areas. So shove your opinions Dazzle man to the dark side of the moon and uck of. Don't like em don't read em!

I'll second that!

And of course Dazzleman if you say it is so, then it surely is because as we all know, we don't need a google function on "Land" we got good ol rose colored glasses know it all Dazzle man! Wow you must feel so fantastic about your own "Precious" opinions! Gee in a previous life you might have been someone of "Rare" importance with your ah "Considered and extremely valuable opinions" Clearly!

You must be joking! "Toumpas has shown great gut running and increased courage"" 1 Gut running doesn't mean you get the ball! 14 disposals hardly shows how this factor is critical! 2 Increased Courage?? Was it lacking from the start?? What has happened in the last fortnight that it has suddenly increased? More spinach or Nutra grain perhaps?? 3 FWIW if you want to highlight some qualities which should be non negotiables, then lets go back to under 14 footy! eh?

Ollie Wines tore us a new one!! Again!

Ok 1 We didn't play a horses for courses team this week, Fitzpatrick surplus to needs as Rider didn't play X 2 We went with and hope Viney and Jetta can regain form and not be fatigued because of layoff's X 3 We played Bail and Jones on the basis of there games last week, but given the much better midfield this week we needed to play both of Riley and Newton but Roosy went with the ol "Deserved a game mantra" Instead of hard nosed relentless selection based on MATCH UPS X Do you get it now?? If not then maybe you can provide some "Informed" analysis?

"I would however ask what these posters with their mocking tones are actually DOING to address racism and the race divide in this country"? Or the other problems of our society, Drugs, The Homeless, Crimes against women, Paedophilia, et al Lets face it many social problems exist and Racism and Race divide are but one issue. Adam Goodes wants to be taken seriously. Can I suggest to Mr. Goodes that as soon as he retires he join the Liberal or Labour party and run as a member of Parliament! If he cares so much then it is only logical that he feels so compelled to do something about it as a politician!

1 Because we were smashed at selection ( Two blokes back with reasonably long lay offs) Riley, Newton et al should have played. 2 We were smashed in the coaches box ( Roosy not willing to man up the lose man! Here's a thought if you send our lose man into the space where the other man is behind the ball about 30.- 40 meters away as opposition coach, would you then be prepared to take the risk of not manning him up and being accountable?? I wouldn't ,unless of course its Melbourne!! 3 To play Viney as sub was almost as silly as playing Jordy as Sub a few weeks ago! What were the "Brains Trust" Thinking! I am almost as [censored] of at this loss then even the Geelong thrashing in that not to distant, murky past Also we need to move absolute Heaven and Earth to get 2 quality "A" grade mids into the club next year. I don't care what it takes! Everyone is tradeable!!

And another thing I reckon Paul Roos needs to concentrate on his own team and individuals rather than lend comment which featured in the Hun This morning!

It's the old story, you pick a few guys that probably aren't quite up to it, They play well, and you think.... Gee they played well last week and deserve a game I know we are playing Port and I think I would like to play this side ( The ones which should have played ) But sheeesh these "Fringees played so well! How can I drop them? That's my thinking!

[censored], we have midfield Depth, but "Humanitarian" Roos decided to reward the efforts of Bail, Fitzpatrick and Jones et al for their last weeks efforts, to the detriment of picking a balanced team against ( Port Adelaide) which has a "Gun Midfield" Sheeit we weren't only outcoached, we lost out big time at selection! It aint Rocket science people! Riley gives grunt and presence! Newton, crucial possessions and a goal when needed! Doh what were we thinking!

Annnnd you know what fixes it?? Putting a man capable of negating that role on the lose man behind the ball! It's that simple!

Not enough Grunt, knowing where to position ourselves, footy smarts and pace when required!

Agree with all of these

Hnmm certainly not the worst, but I don't recall a last quarter possession, How many of the 14 uncontested?

How many possesions last quarter for him??
