Redleg

He was considered too small and too slow for AFL.

Just heard Sheedy say on Footy Finals that "all his Captains are great leaders". We need to have not just the most senior player, or a player who is owed something for loyalty, as Captain, but the player who will be the best leader. The leadership of guys like Maxwell, Hodge, Brown, Newman, Goodes, Boyd etc is what we should be aiming for. Unfortunately we don't have lots putting their hand up.

I seem to recall that it was our policy to give 30 year old players only 1 year contracts.

I think you are being precious. The comparison is to to arouse interest in us and basically describe the type of player by reference to a player we know. I am sure WJ is not expecting this bloke to be exactly like Liam. More than likely he will play exactly like Waylen Manson.

Did you see Schoenmakers game?

Maybe there isn't.

He is not the only one of our players to have said exactly the same thing I can assure you. Seems Bailey didn't explain to players what they were doing wrong.

Can't accept that with possibly a few clubs in the mix.

You could mount a very strong argument that if Warnock played for hawks last night instead of Schoenmakers they would be in the GF. Not only would Warnock have possibly saved a goal or two from Cloke or Dawes but Schoenmakers on his own with his turnovers cost the Hawks the game.

I was told by a Director that there would be a couple of big announcements at the B & F. Still wondering what he meant. I thought it might be another sponsor and maybe Craig. Does anyone know if TAC final this morning is on TV?

Probably Neeld, Royal, Viney, Greaves, Misson, O'Donnell? and 2 more assistants to be appointed.

Disappointed in Pies winning or no announcements. Is TAC final on TV?

Said or meant to say " doctors".

Jimmy being there was amazing. I was told there would be a couple of big announcements at the B & F. Were there any?

Greg Swann said they ( Blues ) haven't approached Craig.

Dermie said on SEN today that Matt would walk into the Hawks backline.

Yes.

Carlton - having decided to keep coach Brett Ratten - is preparing to outbid every AFL rival on signing Craig as a "senior assistant" or "coaching director".

“Along with Jim Stynes, Chris Connolly's contribution to ensuring the future of this football club over the past four years is second to none,” Lyon said. Above quote taken from an article on MFC website. Apparently Garry doesn't share your view of Chris's contribution.

Would he have the time or would he be a part time assistant.

I personally hope Craig is insulted by their comment.

Does their money win out here? It has every time previously.

Seemed to injure itself out of the barrier and then stumbled and Newitt pulled her up. Since I started posting about horses they have gone hopeless. Think that is it for me posting about them.

King appears very up with the modern game when discussing gameplans on TV or radio.
