Redleg

Yes forgot Read, the other two are just forwards. He would have Moyle and Read ahead of him after Witts goes, who is a year younger than Max and maybe playing longer than Max. Surely he would see us as a better option if he is prepared to leave home.

Well with Max a year older than Witts and with Ned Moyle also at GC and only Verrall at Dees, his chances of that are much better with us.

We are on the same train. I am hoping he wouldn’t use us, given the history, but might not have the same view of a short training stint with GC just to keep fit and say he at least considered them. Anyway here’s hoping.

Without any insider info, I think Kalani has told us his choice, whatever it is. If he is to be a back man, or a ruckman and chooses us, he has May and Lever and Max to learn from. Not many better than them to help your development as a young footballer, in the team your father starred for and guys you already know and have trained with before.

Kentfield even bigger. I hope these two boys can make it and then our key forward positions will be well covered. I think Verrall will make it as a forward/ruck backup too, allowing JVR to hone his forward craft and stop rucking. If we are bullish on the above, there is no way we take a key forward at 9.

See my post, a few before yours.

Be careful anyone at training, there are houses falling everywhere.

Stay there, you might see three of mine running saturday.

I think he has just had 4 weeks off already.

Where are the mods when needed?

That’s what I think too.

Or he is not big enough to be an AFL ruckman, but rather a key position player.

I have had 11 small banana smoothies over 11 days. I can’t work out why I have gained weight.

Agree Katrina. There is a tendency to act like vultures on a carcass when someone leaves a club. It is pretty poor. He also was the boss when we won a flag and we put together a consistent finals team. Who was the last Ceo to do that, Jum Cardwell 60 years ago? We should thank him for his contribution and move on to our next stage. What I would like to see is a photo on November 21 of our draftees and Sharp, together with Tracc and Clarry, with the byline, Dees stars commit to their best footy, their long term future at the Dees, developing the newbies and getting us our next flag. That will enthuse us and shut up a few others.

300 games played under several mid field coaches and he is a novice? Every assistant coach starts somewhere and there is no rule they can’t successfully coach in their first stint.

You think we will win the flag next year? Given a good fixture, good injury run and player development we could.

Injuries, fixture and (skill) development are the keys and only the last to a degree, is the responsibility of the Coach.

Three. Kentfield.

I haven’t got a clue at this stage. As I said above, I do like the video highlights of Tauru and he could be something special.

I am visiting Palm Cove on sunday for the day and recall the last time i was there was on day two of the Jacko draft. While my wife was shopping, I was outside counting down to our pick at 30 as I recall. I liked Rivers, as I had posted on DL, solely because of his video highlights and the comments of guys who knew about him. As we got to his pick and he was still there, I hoped JT would take him. When I heard his name announced, I yelled out and my wife ran out of a shop and asked if I was ok and I told her we got Rivers and she just stared at me. I am hoping this is an omen, even though this time I am not there on draft day, that we get great players in the draft this year. Sorry if the story was boring.

Kingofwallstreet won Group 3 Classic and is heading to the Derby all being well. Pinstriped ran 3rd after being too far back on turn into straight.

It’s not up to the MRC, they are a tenant just like we will be. Their concern is purely about 10 race days and we won’t affect them.

Another option could be the Dogs, with Keath retiring today.

Doubt it, Bailey is the face of Cotton On.

Come on, we will be both celebrating more flags after being at our new base.
