Redleg

IMO I wouldn't delist someone like Tynan who is still young and developing, same for Taggert. Flash, Joel Mac and Rodan have retired. I would delist/trade Jetta, Gillies, Byrnes, Bail, Sellar if you keep Pedersen, Tapscott, Nicholson, Jamar and Strauss. I would keep Blease and develop him. I would give Davis another year unless you were offered a trade. That is 12 players, that is a big turnover on the senior list. Rookies Magner and Couch are probably also gone.

I am with you brother.

It doesn't count because it is actually now two threads combined.

I also get the feeling that a few of the clubs are blustering to appease their supporters, while privately they acknowledge the need for the Dees to improve quickly on the field.Remember this is all about money. The AFL is all about money. AD gets more money as well the more the AFL makes. Clubs get more money for bigger attendances and an interested TV viewing audience. The TV fees rely on interesting games. As I posted elsewhere just ask James Brayshaw who has been publicly outspoken against us one simple question," next time we play North as their home match, does he want a big or small crowd". That sums it all up.

Missed most of the presser but hope to catch up later.. I did hear PJ talking about the PP and I think he said that the other 17 clubs will have to get over it if they want us to be competitive and improve the competition.

Footy Manager next.

But at least we can now see the trees and we have a very good woodchopper.

Feeling that little tremor are we?

We may have a new Coach today according to the Herald Sun.

Well done Jonesy.

I hope the right people are nodding and winking.

Interesting to know if we have signed any assistant coaches, on the basis that Roos is Coaching?

Roos still playing a straight bat. Seems as though he is keen to have any announcement after the B&F. Said he thought B&F was about this year not the next. I think he will do what the club prefers. If they want to announce it thursday and he has signed, then it will be thursday. Noticed on OTC when Sheahan laughed and then realized he may be on camera and stopped, looking embarrassed.

Looking forward to OTC tonight. Reckon the boys might not even raise the issue, but if they do, I think Roos may just increase the percentage a bit.

Who is JB? Is it James Brayshaw?

But he tried hard, unlike Sylvia.

Pretty decent effort winning 3/4's considering we were smashed in clearances, possessions and umpiring and with an injury depleted team.

In that condition you should be able to do a great James Strauss waltz.

Will be hoping for a huge Tigers win next week.

Carlton give me the sh-ts.

Good boy. He may prefer some ice cream in his smoothie rather than frozen yoghurt.

Funny, I heard a while ago he bought one here.

Is he?

Alarm goes ... Herald Sun delivered, back page, Roos considering Dees job. Alarm clock thrown out.

Do you think if I suggested that Byrnes retire, it could create a firestorm like the Junior one? IMO Byrnes should have played his last game for the club. I would have no problem with him playing for Casey as long as he was off our list. Maybe a playing assistant coach role for Casey.
