If its any consolation, you all look like hobos fighting over a wheel of imaginary cheese... Can't spell. Edited.

That's what many say. Personally, I question it.

How dare you?! How can you sit there and belittle the inane chatter and pointless threads that make up Demonland in the off-season? Bradshaw is a Swan. So what?! In the alternate dimension on Fringe, he might be a Demon. Ever thought about that? And..and it is socially implored that we celebrate birthdays. Hence the thread dedicated to Max Gawn turning 18. And a person's VCE score is absolutely...OK, it's pointless and no-one has anything useful or relevant to post. But you don't have to point that out... Because that's rude.

I'm with you on posters having little perspective...or idea, with Martin, but... Depth is a useless meter people bring up when they want to include the average, the diminishing, and those with unrealised potential into the positives that will lead to the success of their team. I think the club is giving him the best opportunity to be in our best 22. He won't beat out Warnock, Rivers, or Frawley anytime soom so back-up ruck or forward tall is his best bet. And I like him in the ruck.

A "classic rpfc patronising, condescending, and mean comment" to many in this thread. Boy, that's a time saver.

What advice was that? Always sand with the grain?

You are wrong.

That is quite a lot of writing. Colin has had issues in the past, he is currently working through them, let's hope he continues to do so. To think that he is well, because he is playing well, or whatever your point is, is diminishing the issues that many people deal with, and that Colin is going through. Oh, and do a spell check, or something...

Same was said about Carroll, McLean, and Johnstone over the journey... Sylvia has played one consistent season. I reckon it's a constant battle for Colin and those of his ilk, let's hope he can continue to work hard on his issues.

Why don't we wait until we are up and going before trading away picks and players for perceived needs? A weak forward line is the formulated opinion of the team right now, with a tall forward a priority. But that may not be the issue when we are 4th in 2012/2013 and we wish to graduate from being a 'Bulldogs' to a 'Geelong.' No trading for a few years yet...

Sylvia?

Can we just abandon the ship metaphor please? Abandon ship.

Very black and white. We won't know what he can do for 3 or 4 years.

McLean will be good for Carlton. Gysberts has a better chance of being important in 2014 - 2018. And that is all I care about.

Getting back to Peanuts' incongrous argument about choosing a small profit at the expense of list management - the club has a list manager. And a recruiting bloke. Recruiting and list management used to be undertaken by the same person and now we pay two people to do the work. That in itself should tell you that the club is spending money in the right areas to deliver the desired outcome - an effing flag. I'm going to play Darth Vader on the decision to take Newton and Meesen in the RL - "Two Rookies do not concern me, Admiral. I want a flag." So say we all, Darth. So say we all.

McDonald will retire at the end of the year, but Bruce and Green (Vet eligible in 2011) will not see any competitors for the Vet List until Miller (2013), Jamar (2013), Davey (2014), and Moloney (2015). So Bruce could keep going for 3 or 4 years at only the expense of a rookie.

Well I feel a lot happier about having Gysberts instead of McLean... The anti-Oracle has spoken!

Won't know for three years. Bump this thread in 2012.

I'm sorry but I am going to need more than a post from 'hollywood' over at Ology to convince that 1) Buckley actually said these things, and 2) that there is a problem with a differing workloads. And what would Simon know about training workloads? He was fit for about two months last year.

Wonaeamirri while he is holed up injured? He is from the Tiwi Islands...

* This is not an invitation for a response from said poster, but a replacement for that post to save time, energy, and the general Demonland public from having to deal with said poster * You left the disclaimer out, 2SJ.

I dont know... Coastguard?

You don't see the logic?! If they did a review, Wonaeamirri never would have done his hamstring.

Nothing at all.

WTF? 'Dude', that was his innocent attempt at humour. It wasn't funny but it didn't require that. Welcome, but smarten up.
