  1. He actually has three brothers and a sister. He is second of four boys and then finally a girl.
  2. First he may be hopeless so there is no guarantee as to future coaching. Second he has a full time business and may not be in a position to be a full time coach. Third I have posted on here previously that Jones holds on to the ball too long and that Moloney is a one trick pony. West may be able to improve both of these guys and that would be a huge plus. I don't believe Paul Williams improved either of them.
  3. 42 eggs, 80 pieces of toast, 32 coffees and 28 orange juices.
  4. I was actually only referring to those fluoro pens that you highlight sentences with, to make it look like you are really studying or working.
  5. Not sure if I congratulated you on your new grand daughter but congrats on being a grandfather and I hope she brings you and your family many many years of joy.
  6. Maybe we are now using " highlighter pens."
  7. "I spoke to a few other clubs but I sat down with Dean (Bailey) and (assistant coach) Mark Williams for a good two to three hours and had some really good discussions about where the club was heading, and the list. "I was undecided with the path I was going to take but, after speaking with the guys, I was excited about joining Melbourne." These were some of the words from Scott West as quoted in the article on the AFL site. We have endured a post season of a great deal of negative publicity, including not having a sponsor, losing players, officials and being unable to get other players to come to us. Hopefully this is a start to some positive publicity which should be further improved by about mid day saturday the 29th of November
  8. He looked massive in the photo.
  9. Sorry Jaded I thought it was Carroll. I need glasses.
  10. You may wish to change your avatar given the bloke in the front.
  11. My anger is with Carltank not CJ. They are scum. They offer our developing player a fair whack of cash and offer his club nothing in return. They prefer to steal a player rather than trade for him. As I have said earlier we join a list of clubs including West Coast, Freo and Port who are waiting for the chance to pay them back. That day will come. I also believe players are entitled to get the best for themselves especially in these times where they are traded on a whim.
  12. This story would be guaranteed to hit the papers. Say we are looking at Cousins with our our pick number 1 in PSD. A few days later we get another story saying he doesn't fit into our plan for the revival of the Dees. Then point out some of the guys we are developing, McNamara, Cheney, Aussie, Spencer, Maric, Grimes, Martin, Garland etc.
  13. Was thinking the same thing myself.
  14. That is the positive in this story.
  15. First, we were not offered anything for either player during trade week. Second, CJ was not a scapegoat. He actually had his best year for us playing about 10-11 games before being injured.
  16. Well I hold the opposite view. Here is a Coach who gives a stuff. He was obviously disappointed that CJ was leaving and that he was going to a club that had twice beaten us to players that we had chased hard ( Warnock and Judd ) and that he was going for nothing. He let his emotions show in front of some of the players. Good on him. We have put 4 years into Chris and while I accept him leaving and even that we offered him as a trade for the right deal, he has gone to the most vile club in the AFL. They are so vile that despite offering him a fair amount more money than we could they weren't prepared to offer us anything reasonable in exchange. Steal him is their method. I hope that the other AFL clubs target Carltank players in the future and make life bloody hard for the constant cheats. I know West Coast ,Freo and Port already have them on their list and we can now be added to it.
  17. Probably not, but he did name him ( Monaghan ) in the article as someone who had broken a contract.
  18. I really dislike only one club and that is carltank. I personally hope they finish 14-15th for the next hundred years if they last that long. I don't want them to finish last as that would give them some joy, looking forward to the first draft pick. Nothing personal against the boys but I hope Warnock and Johnson play poorly for them as well.
