dworship

Bit of Choco magic wouldn't go a stray. One of the first things I thought of with the Williams appointment was how attractive we might look for a few young indigenous players. Not that I think we have done badly in that area previously just that it might be the cherry on top.

Livin' the dream!

Great Sponsor, great product. Get behind a Victorian company. I've been sprucing up the property recently and the double discount has been saving me a lot of dollars. Sign up for a Haymes discount card and then show your MFC members card. Yes I live in Ballarat but seriously the product they produce is awesome and at a seriously competitive price.

Or the AFLW season concludes

Always thought Dermott Brereton was under developed in that area too but he seemed to go alright. Maybe it's just a genetics thing. If he has been building his core I think that is still a good thing. In Burgess I trust.

Is it just me or has Lever been spending some time in the weight room also?

Is that Petty in the background behind Lever and Jacko?

Completely new

If you look through the contract lists there seems to be an attempt to spread the years so that we don't find ourselves in a Woods type position. I don't know if it would be comfortable to renegotiate all 3 "go home factor" players in the same year.

Actually, if that happens then I think it says more about the coaching than it does about TMac

"How dare the AFL deny us!!" Sounds like the Essendon defence, got to get the membership back on side somehow.

But, but ... what I said was just a joke, why don't you lighten up and stop making attacks on my lack of intelligence.

"Joke" definition, n. Something said or done to evoke laughter or amusement, especially an amusing story with a punch line. " I suppose it made you guffaw when you made it" Your reply is what bigots, xenophobes, homophobes and sexists say when they're challenged. Now if you want to read something that evokes laughter and amusement check out "What they’re saying in Lulie Street", the exchanges between "Trigon", "buck_nekkid and BBO are comedy gold! Wait a minute ..... I might be getting this all "arze about" did you mean the other definition? n. Something that is of ludicrously poor quality.

You would think Richardson has some idea here.... then again.

If you mean the Demonlander bit ... then I think there is plenty of evidence.

I'd argue his football IQ is higher than most and certainly higher than the average D'lander

It's been announced that McCartney has been signed to coach the Ballarat Roosters for the next 3 years. I wonder if the Roosters might have ideas about joining the new second tier comp? I can see the pitch to the AFL; Mars Stadium and the fastest growing inland City in the Country.

Keep for one more year then reassess. Value will still be there plus Max will be a year older. Supporters are always pushing for the next big thing in the draft but in a compromised draft year sometimes it's better to have patience and have a quality backup if required.

Cue ....... rack. Very much a view to next year approach. Goodwin can see we will not win a GF this year and is planning for next year. With any luck he will set things up for the incoming head coach. If I'm correct about this then it is imperative that Goodwin does go as you cannot have a coach who cannot sell belief.

The trust / respect between May and Salem is starting to become obvious and productive.

But there are the Darwin Awards................. shame we cannot give out more.

That's a bit unfair on Dunks and Sauce considering the difference in ages and experience. If the AFL reduces list sizes I would be keeping the young ones with potential upside rather than the "known" quantities.

It's another Burgess influence. Clarry was interviewed briefly after the Adelaide win and was asked something along the line of his improving performance and he said Burgo wanted him to take 5 quick steps if he received the ball and wasn't under immediate pressure. If you look at the last 3 games it's obvious that's what he is doing and it's allowing him to kick more. Simple but genius.

Me three??

Wouldn't it be great if the "little paper" was banned from Qld. Yes, yes, I know about electronic editions. Not sure why anyone would bother .
