He will be a delisted FA for the few DFA periods before next season. After that he will be back in the draft. S if he decides to come out of retirement next year, he will have to go through the ND and the PSD.

Yeah, coz Dees fans don't eat their own do they? And DA was pointing out that h_h has a tendency, no, a penchant for saying something definitively and then walking away from what he just said at the flick of the electro-therapists switch.

The disconnect here is that this type of feedback is only for the fringe players that find themselves in the VFL. If they are going to continue to be as honest with these as the one I just read - they should do them for the AFL as well. It doesn't sit comfortably with me that we are publicly appraising fringe players and not senior players.

I'm just gonna go and take it back from there.

Well, that's nonsense. Foresight was on here from people like Grand New Flag who were telling you all was not right last year - and not only did you spurn him and others - you attacked them in the very way you see yourself being 'attacked' right now. This was about the time you were talking about 'training form' and all that and trying to convince Land that all was right when it plainly wasn't. Then you shift gears like The Stig when Neeld was given the boot. Have some self-reflection.

Trades like this are always going to be debated - there is nothing wrong with comparing what we gave up for what we got. The problem that most of us has is with the finality of which Barrett and a couple others called it a failure. Don't know yet, but I am very comfortable with the decision.

Do you really want me to search for what people said around the time he infamously ducked his head in his first game for us? You were posting around that time. Do you feel lucky?

Maybe you should google 'hindsight.'

No, he is playing better than you thought he could. Come to that realisation and then you realise that nothing is ever as bad, or as good, as you think it is.

I don't think Roos is the type of person to leave something after 2 or 3 years. I just don't think he wants the grind of coach for longer than that. He may change his mind but I think he will be coach until the end of 2016 and then take a Director of Coaching role (or something similar) from then on. I am not worried that as soon as October 2016 rolls around Roos will be off in the sunset.

He will be told.

People get paid what they are worth. We have money and cap space - Fyfe would be a fantastic get. Beaten only by Dangerfield.

Love the adjectives... Don't we get carried away with descriptors in football... Not helpful in the slightest when we colour it up with words like that.

So the MFC listed players are whinging to Welsh about why they are not getting a game? Because that is what he said. And there is something wrong with airing that out.

So you think that everyone here thinks I know nothing? Other than your best bud Ben Hur, I don't think you would find a sane individual on here to agree with you. If you have a problem, PM me. Or just suck it up and keep it to yourself.

Tropic Thunder fan! Keeping with the theme - Jones has been putting tiger balm on this competitions' nuts for a while now - about time people noticed...

I would steer clear of trying to be funny, BB. Lead. Balloon.

You're a lovely person. As for the first line - we are writing our nonsense on a forum - there is no other reason for us to post other than to get the likeminded people on here to read what we post. You have said your piece, now leave me in peace.

My bad. I don't know what I was thinking...

Jetta for Toumpas. Frawley for Dawes. Kent for Salem. Salem as sub and then back to Casey for a few games to get some full matches under his belt.

Just on THAT kick by Toumpas. Yes, it was one a the few things he did that affected the game but that is the area we have to improve if we want to beat a top 8 (let alone top 4) team - the kick into our forwards. Usually terrible, a lot better with Watts and Tyson kicking in there, but if Toumpas meets the base requirements of pressure, tackling, and defensive running - his right boot will give him a head start on other players. We simply kicked so poorly to Dawes it was amazing he didn't have a massive Richo in the middle of the ground. There are some laughable ball watchers on here that say that 'Dawes couldn't hold a mark' but when it is delivered so poorly it makes it nigh-on-impossible to take a mark.

The quicker they acquiesce and call themselves the Casey Demons and let our people run the place the better for all concerned.

That payoff may come...in 2015 and beyond... 2014 for Gawn is all about staying fit for a season. 2014 for Fitz is all about trying to get a few games in the AFL. 6 seasons is along time to wait for players - I agree that late picks for talls is fine, but I would prefer the Rookie List or identifying mature rucks that don't need half a decade.

lol The kind of crap he got was not "Jeez, he's playing awful footy..." It was (maybe I should do a search?) utter damnations on his ability as a player, his standing as a person, and the decision for the club to trade for him (even though we lost virtually nothing in doing so). So, a yeah a few people can go eat some humble or just EAD. Because that's how this works...

Well, hold back on your refreshment - I don't think a journo reading too much into vague platitudes from Fitz means anything.
