You don't see the difference in taking JV with a second round pick over pick 3 and then having that pick 3 to get a far better player than will be left at pick 24. You don't see it as a big issue.

How could I have forgotten the Captain- Jack Grimes.

Thank you. He is Port's top rated player.

Saw Cook on TV last week for Casey and while no man mountain yet, he has bulked up a bit. Another pre season should see him further developed. He will be a big boy.

Jones- 2012 Bluey winner. Watts- 2012 Most Improved.

I am only naming them after the event. We are a cursed club. It has to change. No club in history has had to contend with what this club has been dealt this year.

Add Mitch Clark.

There is only one thing wrong with him, he is not on our list. Sensational mark, beautiful kick, can play.

Great idea. I have a lot of old Dees scarves. I will see if I can get them sewn together. It will make a great blanket when I watch dees games on TV.

Couch was poor on saturday. If not for a free kick and goal, I would not have known he was out there. I am sure he can do much better, but he seems way behind Magner who is just a battler.

Me too. I hope we keep him. I feel I put the moz on him when I selected him as one of my big improvers this year. I just think he can really play.

The same thing that makes one vacuum cleaner better than the next, the bullsh-t that the salesman spews.

Looks like the thread will remain as is, especially as we don't mention the person who is central to at least 6 new threads recently and continues to be mentioned in several other threads. If for some other reason there is the need to change the name, I am happy to just delete the reference to "NO T$" and simply remain as the "NO B$" thread. Long may the thread continue and provide something a little different for Demonlanders.

Why can't we try Bennell as a spread mid who can be given the ball and take off. He can do that from wing or in the middle. We need to inject clearance pace to improve our forward entries.

Not me. Completetly different.

I think you can guarantee that we will draft players who are hard, both mentally and physically. No matter what other characteristics are sought, these will be non negotiable.

Though not in first seasons, add Bartram.

Footy has certainly changed. Sledging about family gets you suspended. I was told in many amateur games I played, by my opponent, that he had f...d my sister. It didn't worry me too much, mainly becuase I haven't got a sister. Players today need to be very careful what they say both on and off the field.

Would you believe anything, somebody says about something?

And probably a few more I have forgotten.

On another note , it never fails to amaze me how often we draft a player and then he is out for most of his first or second season. Just some examples recently Taggart, Gawn, Evans, Gysberts, Tapscott, Cook, Jurrah, Fitzpatrick, Spencer, Tynan etc.

This worries me if it is true. If true I would adopt the Eddie approach and make a quiet phone call to GWS reminding them that Patton was a MFC supporter and that as a family club, how concerned the MFC is that he is separated from his mother and sister and that it is incumbent on us to help him get back to his family. A huge pay packet would also help the family with any financial issues and of course, we would advise that there is a job open to his mother and sister at the MFC, as they are widely regarded as being among Australia's leading membership assistants and a salary of $100000.00 each could be available over say 6 years. If he was not interested in coming home, we could advise that we would find out who is and offer them a suitable package for themselves and their family. We really are the family club.

If it helps, I can start a discussion about which other fruit the players like. I believe Watts likes cherries.

You have won me. I am with you 100%.

Not if we can do a couple of deals. Still think 16th spot is more likely. We are now 4 wins and percentage behind Roos and either Dogs or Port. Another win to Lions and loser of Dogs and Port will mean we will need to win 5 more to go up a spot. Don't think that will happen.
