Redleg

All of these guys look so good in their highlight videos. It would be interesting to know how many highlights they score in a game on average.

I would rather lose him for nothing than agree to that. Dermie said he would walk into the Hawks backline. How can a player who can possibly do that be worth nothing?

Think Aussie will be delisted and rookied.

Does any body else find trade week an overhyped let down?

There goes my smoothie.

Agree. See my new thread on the topic.

Without seeing the report we will never know.

We seem to be on a roll. Great appointments, (some beating other clubs to them), new sponsor. What we need now is another new major sponsor, some good trading and some good drafting. A good pre season with a new game plan and we are up and running. Loved the words of Neil Craig about the MFC on his appointment, Seems to already have a great feel for the place.

To those in the media and on here who rubbished Garry and said his short stint would achieve nothing, please take a moment to relect on the changes at the MFC recently. Not saying he takes all the credit but he clearly has had some major input.

No sooner suggested than done. I feel there is an all powerful force watching who can make these things happen.

If it's true that we have beaten several other clubs and the AFL for his services it is an enormous pr win to us. It shows we are moving ahead and will leave no stone unturned in order to improve. The players must be excited with the new people coming in many of whom are leaders in their field.

I'd be happy to have it changed to "Not a TS thread."

Think he works for the Howell company , has a girlfriend called Ginger and his best friend is known as the Skipper.

Looking like poor weather for the GF. I think that gives the Cats the edge.

I agree with "the Master" . From now on a dropped mark or missed pass in the first training run with the club after drafting will result in instant delisting.

Agree if we are lucky.

It is a rather balmy night in Melbourne.

Sincere condolences to Fay and all of the family and friends. He was very close to Sean Wight and passed away in the same year, unbelievable. Another great Demon has left us. RIP Stuart.

For those vitally interested in the great banana debate, it seems the price will be getting back to normal soon.

Looks like me.

Who knows? I had never heard of him until WJ posted about him above.

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.
