call and suggest it to the club?

colesy Stynes passing -- WTF - the great man died after fighting cancer for almost three years. Its not negative on the club, its what has happened and what followed has made the club proud.

Good decision by the club. The timing is bad, but what can we do. I expect the "2nd" Sponsor to be announced pretty quick. Polis is a complete [censored].

No idea what is wrong with davey, but its gotten to a point that he need to be dropped and told to find form, simple as that.

Haven't sent he game being in WA with no foxtel. But heard(radio) and read enough. I watched the press conference. Pretty simple, he was [censored], i mean really [censored], you could see it in his face. He was sort of diplomatic but basically heads are going to roll this week. The question is who. As for bringing in casey battlers, we want players with the heart and grunt to fight for the ball, its amazing how some chart can overcome difference in ability if the whole team works together. I doubt the game plan is the problem, its only slow and predictable if the players don't commit to making it work, pies won a premiership with a slow predictable game plan, the hawks game plan is predictable, and so on I mean teams spend days dissecting opposition game plans. Its how the players embrace it and work for each other...that is our problem, and its been our problem since the the late danniher years. Anyway going to the game next weekend, and in no way do I want a repeat of last years game against the eagles.

spot on, i agree with sheedy 100%

Loved juniors hit...classic footy.

overall the afl and Demetriou have grown the game to put it in a strong position, while still protecting the weaker clubs including us. there are lots of things i don't agree with him and the commission but the overall plan is working.

Extremely sad news when I read the article...may god help in whatever lays ahead for him and his family, and we pray for the best.

The way I interpret is, is that it gives the young new players 12 months to settle in and concentrate on being at a AFL, to many a rude shock from what they have previously experience. Therefore the best opportunity for them to succeed in the long run. Going to Uni etc, one yera later once they have a good work routine will actually be better, and whats graduating a year later if your playing footy for 10 yrs on a great wage. As for sports science, there is not much you can do with 17/18 yr olds anyway as they are still growing.

reading the article, MM is right. You need more than talent, your need the drive to push harder. He didn't say cloke was better, but he worked harder on the track and harder on the field. People have have said similar things and they are true. Personally Bailey and co. were too soft on what they wanted the players to do. Already we have seen a change in the team attitude and I think we have the staff to develop watts into a great player if he wants it.

A good place to start is here: http://www.westerndemons.com/ Given our change in style, a win isn't far away at Subi,,,remember we won at ethiad for the first time ever? last week. is it ever, or at least as long as I can remember. See you at the game.

"Elite players cannot be tagged out of a game. Elite players can destroy an opposition single handedly Elite players are rare." Pretty close I reckon. Basically an elite player can win a game for his side. Last elite player for us was Garry Lyon, who could win us a game by himself when he needed to. And I'm not talking about kicking a bag of goals.

Yeah Essendon forfeited - in the amateurs if that happens the the team present, gets the points and a 10 goal win for percentage. I mean the saints got there with no problems. I'm sure their would have been an airport close by they could have gone too and then bused. Maybe they're scared of the rain since they play inside all the time now!

He owned the Joondalup shopping centre pharmacy, sold it when he moved to Carlton...they interviewed him there a few times on the TV, In his white pharmacist uniform... But recreational drugs don't do the same as performance enhancing. simply they won their flag with the right players at the right time, against a team they could be (just)... as for last year, simply their older players having bumpers years, similar to us in Dannihers first year..last to prelim...bit of experience and a bit of youth.

gee....what a terrible result..oh we won!! Only listened on the radio and their were generally pretty happy with the dees effort. Next two games with more normal rules will be a better judge and both at Ethiad so a decent ground 9as far as the place goes), and should set us up better for round one than in previous years. Though I'm surprised we didn't push for a casey game in one of the two following rounds as a promotion. Magner and seller sounded like good additions on top of clarke.

Interesting article... No pressure in his first year "collingwood president expects nathan buckley to deliver flag first up" http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/collingwood-president-expects-nathan-buckley-to-deliver-flag-first-up/story-e6frf9jf-1226280287764 Basically if the pies don't win a flag this year Buckely has FAILED as the coach. I think eddie is going to kill his golden boy.

With the news, lots of Melbourne footage from the $cully draft.

Given he ordered it in his own name, I would assume he thought they were legal otherwise he would have had a mate/family member etc do it on his behalf to cover his tracks....

It is about developing a set standard and the discipline to meet it, the discipline to be ta a meeting with then be translated onto the field. The discipline to follow the game plan, coaches instructions, to do the one percents, to do the unrewarded team efforts, etc etc The club has finally stated what they expect to be part of our great club. Sam will be fine and he wont be late again. We don't know the specific circumstance of his lateness, but I would have been more than simply being a little late, for example.

Very happy that we have gone with youth... oops: should have said "of jacks!!" oops.

Cheers...in the league now...nice work on sorting the different players too "demonland 7"
