Thanks, I always like to hear the balanced non Melb supporters views on things...North has shown more than I expected (and they always seem to) and I agree some of your youngsters show good promise...I like your young on ballers and would love to have Goldie on our list!

Thanks for the contribution. Not wanting to hijack this thread (mods can move this if they wish) but as a footy observer and Roos fan, who's list do you thihk has more going for it at the moment, the Dees or Roos? If you know a bit about the Tigers you can throw them in the mix also...

You missed the point I was making, I didnt say who I thought was better. I was responding to Jnrmac's assertion that you can somehow discount Pods success because he is playing to the Cats midfield. Sure it helps but I thought it was a moot point as Barlow has the AA ruckman delivering to him. Equally Pods is an elite forward and the Cats midfield takes absolutly nothing away from that. If you have seen him play live you will see he does a mountain of work off the ball and creates his own opportunities and leads the comp for contested marks in his first year despite missing three games also makes him a worthy "surprise packet" as far as im concerned. Barlow might be in contention for the Brownlow, which is essentially a midfielders award but Pods is equally in contention for the Coleman which is a forwards award. For the record I think Barlow just shades him but to discount him because of the midfild delivering to him is short sighted and to say his efforts dont even come close is just foolish. I agree re Jamar, Edwards, O'Halpin and Mumford.

Watchout for the guns...they'll get ya...

And Barlow has had the AA ruckman putting it down his gob. I think they are both great.

Seems like a 'wise' move by the club during the week off...

I was going to post the same and I am sure Sylvia had similar tape that assisted him in his early days. I think the point of the tape is to aid with stability. but rather than OP, it may be becase of his earlier back problems. Thatwould make sense asits only on one side. Given he is doing full training it seems more precaution or something they are managing that an actual injury. In saying that I actually have no idea and it's all a guess...but it doesn't seem like surgery or anything we should worry about.

Thats right...

I am hoping that when he matures, Tapscott will help out in this area.

Hmmm in both cases I would love both. I would still go with chip but jack is a gun!!! I think if you added him to our list and Gawn came on as Jamar aged we would just about have the ideal list.

lol...sorry im a local...that made me laugh. Sadly we do not... Though if you do have questions about Darwin ask away. This rain is not normal for this time of the year. There is usually less humidity and the weather is perfect.

Not many pubs near the ground so your best bet will be getting back into the city and head down Mitchell Street there are lots of pubs down the street. Monsoons, Shenanigans and The Tap are a few good ones.

All interstae draftees get "at least" 2 years. The SA boys have been offered an extra year. I think also high draft picks (first round?) get 2 years. Which is why Tom has 2 years despite being a local. But I'm not sure about that. I would be surprised if all draftees got 2 years.

It's true! Get excited people, this clubs is making all the right moves. We are forming a group of young guns that all want to stay together and succeed as a group.

he already has...

Wonanewhami???

I heard he is not getting a game because he had spoken to the gold coast and the eagles found out. Though I have no basis to say that is the case just what j heard so take it for what it is...

Billy do you like the smell of your own crap? And would you be upset if someone told you it stank? Let it go mete Nasher is just dong his job as a moderator.

Get in the grandstand. Your spending quite a bit to get to the game, you might as well spend the extra few bucks and get in the grand stand. There is seating as opposed to a grass hill.

Well said! Also try this for updates. It's an Essendon site so the focus is on then but it is useful. http://www.essendonfc.com.au/matches/live.asp?round_no=-4
