interesting observations there deeluded, but didn't you forget something?

Don't be silly, we can't takeover the Roos. More like they will take us.

No, I want Toumpas, Grundy or O'Rourke with our top 2 picks ahead of Viney.

Stringer. Stringer, forget the rest.

My info says he wants to get to the Blues.

We need bigger bodies around the ground. We struggle to influence the crunch contests When we need to. Brushed off to easily. Go for strong bodied kids please.

Out Bennell Moloney Dunn In Couch Gysberets Jetta

agreed, he's barely been sighted all year, goes missing, 12 months at a time.

Players I liked for the future. J Fitzpatrick T Couch L Tynan N Jetta T Smith R Petterd J Gysberts J Strauss Casey-No 30

Who, was he playing?

My insiders tell me you 'May' be onto something, jobs for the boys thing.

And while we're at it, we should go after Brian Cook. Throw anything & everything at getting him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Cook_%28football_administrator%29

It has a smooth echo to it, & a sort of off beat Rhythm. So, does this dude. www.youtube.com/watch?v=70_iNA9N9lg

I agree with you Russell. As long as one doesn't put down others in their quest to lead.

It's time, Gary. Balls on the line, Gary. Or have you had it, the snip?

The Jumping Jack, could he possibly come onto the market. Hawkins is a big boy who can go into the ruck . Worth anything to us?

You sound like Rino's twin. Do you double as a Lollipop Man as well?

No, not last week. I was wearing the Goal Post Number last week. Did you notice me change ends?

G'day Tim, did you see the game Thursday. If so how do you think Cheney played?

I'm starting to think us supporters have contributed to some of these players being too comfortable. It's time Dunn, to put your hand up consistently, or your gone.

Maric - OK Needs to apply self & believe more. Blease - Quick, nice kick, did I say quick, with a another burst of acceleration as well. Martin - good with a lot to learn, did some nice things, needs time as a forward to develope. Cheney - Very good with ball use, good decisions, will turn into a good player as he adjusts to the AFL tempo. TMac - Smarts, attacking won plenty of the ball & attacked but got sloppy turning the ball over too many times, not normally as erratic, trying to be attacking made some mistakes. Talented. PJ - Had a good hitout for about 2&half or 3 Qtrs. Needs miles in legs - 2 - 3 weeks. No garland No Watts. Alls good. Great ground down there @ twilight atmosphere, for a twilight VFL game.in warm weather.

I don't think you know anything about football or football clubs or developing young AFL players. A developement Coach is a Head Coach who is put in charge to teach & develope the players into a team. The definition of a finishing coach is one who can then instill the intensity into that team to go through to premierships. Alistair Clarkson has proven to be able to do both. As have most Premiership Coaches at some stage. Bailey needs time to develope his young list of talent. This is not yet if you hadn't noticed, a Grand Final list.
