  1. demoniac has no issue with above.
  2. How do we know what we're offering Lever? Fair range in supposedly authoritative takes on what we're offering, ranges from $700,000 a year to $900,000. I have confidence that Jackson and Mahoney are not the types to take risks with cap room. Jackson, in particular, must have learned from the Essendon salary cap debacle that saw Chris Heffernan join Melbourne for 3 insipid years of cheque collecting. Its fairly obvious that coaches and fellow players question Watts' ability to adhere to elite training and preparation standards and to play with a competitive edge week in week out. How can we accept that from a 26 year old with 9 years in the system and what example does that send to younger players. It'd be great if he stayed and did commit to being an elite athlete but I don't blame club for putting a rocket under him. Brayshaw is an elite midfield talent but how many concussions is he from retirement? Still other clubs know that too so can't imagine trade offers would make it worth our while.
  3. Too often slow to release and concedes a free. Too often misses targets by hand and foot. Can win contested ball. Can sometimes mark well overhead. Can Maynard do the same role? What value would other clubs place on Dom?
  4. Sadly the days of quantity netting quality are well in the past.
  5. I'm never one for extreme actions but if ritual sacrifice of descendants of that Board is seen as going too far then perhaps we dig up the remains of the Board members, chrematoriumise and sprinkle on the G.
  6. Umpires make mistakes. Its a tough game to umpire. Our players need to better ie J Lewis should hit up the 30 metre target when in space rather than miss and see the resultant turnover lead to a Grundy goal.
  7. I most humbly apologise for throwing a fact into the mix.
  8. So you reckon he could not catch Sam Mitchell or Matt Priddis? His draft camp 20 metre time was 3 seconds so not quick but not treacle slow if he can get back to that.
  9. or Priddis who gets slower by the week. It'd be a truly memorable Dees moment if Trenners come in and shows he is still AFL quality. Imagine the reception he'd get next Friday night at the G!
  10. "There's so many zeros that I've put my contract talks on hold till my manager has bought a new calculator"
  11. do we assume use in this context is median average?
  12. Lets hope that now the AFL has got its CBA done with the AFLPA they can lend some negotiating knowhow and common sense to Cricket Australia who seemingly find new ways every day as 1 July looms to make their players feel disrespected.
  13. Only issue I have with Lever is that sometimes he tries to mark when he should punch and the ball falls to his feet instead of being fisted clear towards the boundary line. Minor quible only. Possibly an issue for all of the better intercept markers.
  14. Trengove can reliably kick the ball to a player wearing the same jumper as he is which is a plus given the propensity of many of our players to collectively miss targets for entire quarters or halves.
  15. When not dropping at the knees Joel Selwood is actually 7 Foot 5 Inches...
  16. Yeah cause sports from overseas ain't gonna come here and take our best athletes and our fans sporting dollars. Should go back to the VFL days too.
  17. I like his even temperament in the coaches box. I like the fact that he is a clear and concise communicator. He says in very few words what wafflers like Buckley or Chris Scott take an eternity to get out.
  18. Neither side play the week after.
  19. Another concussion from a relatively innocuous incidental contact. His career has to be in doubt which must be difficult to process and deal with.
  20. Port have trousered $6 million in China sourced sponsorships. Seems like good business to me.
  21. Hows it going Jez!
  22. iselect Dees players executing well by hand and foot and knowing their role in every play. So basically the opposite of quarters 1, 2 and 4 last week.
  23. Good on the Power and Suns for having a crack. Fairly obvious that all players from both teams should be travelling business class.
  24. Fitzroyalty only applies to Old Fitzroy. The Standard is Fitzroyalty.
  25. If we beat Adelaide I will be beset by conflicting emotions.
