To quote Seinfeld 'Now we're getting somewhere".

The old Western oval was almost rectangular IIRC

Projects have consultation, scope, risk assessment, timelines and budget. This "project" seems more and more like a cheech and chong record.

Im sure he hasnt yet spoken to a complacent blowhard.

We cant just have ovals, which now look compromised in design. We need offices which I had read were going to be in the accessible land on Booran Rd. There is/was no plan for them to be inside the track IMV for many reasons. One reason being you cannot use public land for offices. Second reason is accessibility. Its a small entrance to get inside the track. But Im not going to argue. Im just very disappointed but not surprised.

Please let me know what the actual [censored] range of information is that you are referring to? It was critical that at the start of this investigation, cost and scope of this project that we were to be in close consultation with the MRC. Mt Scopus has guzumped us and no one had it on their radar. Im normally a happy clapper like most of you but in my work I train people how to run projects using IT. But scope costings, research and risk assessment are primary work for a project team. This looks to me as if it is just hope and intention around a couple of beers. As Billy Bob thornton says, hold out one hand for hope and the other for [censored] and see which one fills up first.

I agree. Where was the Risk assessment that this might happen? Where was the tested plan and consultation with MRC? The project is well under way, well that is what I hadunderstood. Now it really looks like no one will take responsibility for this seemingly utter stuff up.

Anyone know how long before Lever joins normal training? it does seem he stays in rehab longer than many, when injuried.

Thanks track watchers. This has brightened my day!

Gee, Hassa's old number... If the great man isnt available, Andrew Obst was a fantastic player. 29 is a highly respected MFC number.

Bowey because of the huge rapts on him as a junior. Injury and being played out of position is his problem. He needs to be wing or half forward in my mind. He is the connection we need. He has more potential silk than all but 3/4.

I haven't read where Oliver has come back fit. I've read how he has had some Clarry type possessions. But I can see posters referring to him as being fit and firing. Can anyone elaborate on his fitness?

Why bother?

5 Best Mid 9 Best Player -might be still a mid, would be ok if it was a tall. Just dont water the pick down.

We have never really had it. I remember whinging at training in 1993 that we were so bad at putting it in front of Darren Bennett that mids should be told to aim at the 50M line. The inevitable trajectory of their kicks meant Darren would be able to get to the drop and 50 M was nothing to him.

Dont split 9. We have plenty of almost very good in the top 25 players. We only have 15 very good players. Stick to the quality, never mind the width.

It has gone from throw a blanket over top 15 to a definite top 6 to a top 3 in just the last week, it seems. Not to mention that last years draft was supposed to be very good at the time, if I remember correctly. I see a big difference in quality between the duke and the Kolt so I hope that we keep 5 and 9. We need real class top 15 players not a decent quality top 25. Thats my preference but I am happy to look on the sunny side if we do play more funny beggers though.

I quite look forward to Bombers death ride. We offer more than pick 9 admittedly, but thats just the cost of doing business. All we need to do (In my opinion) is make the 8 to win this sidebet and to indulge in schadenfreude on their year. As they will be doing to us. Bring it.

.. and then walk out into the next room with a towering Pert who asks 'how did that go? All ok?".

Clarry to Saints for Pick 8 + swap of F1's?

As a couple of posters have implied, Im now moving from "what will we get", into hoping Clarry will be ok.

Sorry, you obviously do. I should have run it by you.

It is possible that Pert believes his time is up. And so to help Goodie who may be playing the good cop, if nothing comes of it, he has opened up offers and facilitated Clarrys interview with Geelong. Just a possibility.

Allow me (probably not the first) to say that we should treasure next years first round draft pick. Too many here believe it wont be an early one. Im thinking it could be.
