Im a life member which was pretty cheap a couple of years back. If I pay 10cents per hour I read this site, Thats at least 1 hour a day. (sometimes 3) Times 7 equals $.70 a week. Times 52 = $36.40 a year. Ive tried to wean myself off Demonland, but like MFC Ive been too long in the wasteland and Im rusted on. I can easily donate another $36.

I very much liked Mark Doran but Id understand if Im in the minority. Another mate Des Dowling took it up and I took an instant disliking to his show.

If Pro-dee loses it will mean we will greatly regret giving up our 1st pick in 2016 draft. It would be rather valuable.

I believe mistakes in past drafts were a combination of factors but a re-occuring one was scrutinizing perceived shortcomings to the extent that some players were picked because they were not exceptional at many things but had few failings. So some clubs tried not to make mistakes rather than foresee possibilities. With this in mind I hope we take Parish (for polish) and the Weed just because as well as obvious attributes, he has a certain calm "something". I see higher upsides than Oliver for one. Go for it Demons, Ill be happy with whomever you get but I hope its these two.

I can only go by the type of player Id like to see do well. After too many years of watching tough inside scrums and hard fought spartan efforts (and thats from our good players) Id like to watch clean hands, clever vision and accurate passes. I would like polish and thats Parish.

Pretty sure its design is by Dave Larkins better known as lead singer of Dallas Crane, who also works for the Dees. He showed me this design 6 months ago and it looked fabulous then, but it was late.... He has been working behind the scenes for a while now designing and re-branding. Can play too. Well done Larko!

He certainly gets shots from the boundary. Why then is he hopeless dead in front 40 metres out?

If there is no "big fish" on its way we certainly wont be moving up the ladder. Roos has had many talks with players and managers if my mail has been correct and if he doesnt get one over the line, I for one, wonder what the hell has he been doing this year? He hasnt been coaching. Hints he is pulling off a coup seem to come from the club. I do expect a major signing and will not be at all happy if there isnt an ace up his river-boat sleeves.

One of the happiest days of my life. And Robbie bought the slab!

"Playing Tall" always reminds me of Brad Green and Cam Bruce. Brad played tall at 183cm but Cam's 190 cm always seemed shorter.

I think there will be an unexpected school of red and black fish either being offered or/and wanting to go.

Well Done Mark.

We stopped going backwards and some spots of recovery forward and back are good. We havent gone forward enough to register this year as progress IMO. Others have had worse years. I would be happy to not win more games than 10 for a couple of years if we could watch fast running positive play. The worst thing for me about our team is watching the scragging style we have to play to eek out a contest.

If there are a few scattered 9's and 10s amongst a lot of 5 and 6's for midfielders then Max Gawn might scare a few with a late run.

Yet you let go the genius who said two thirds of the teams will finish the year with a loss...

So now we need to listen to how we had a successful year? Pull the other one! Ive given up ever seeing finals again. We are truely miles off.

I said an equally silly remark at the end of David Cordners career.

What ever Jack Watts is worth this year, it is much more than it would be next year in my opinion. I would be happier keeping Jack Grimes who is about equally effective because Grimes gives it a red hot go. Watts is worth more on the table though.

From a betting point of view, $9 for North against the tiges seems over even though theyve rested many. Probably wrong but the Tiges have got the propensity to fail spectacularly.

Thanks Stannis, well done!
