Tom Scully and the subsequent defection could prove to be one of the best things to happen to the club in this era.

I would relinquish our pick 4 of 2007 and pick 11 of 2009.

On face value, whether it be Toumpas or Wines, it has been an extraordinary off season which will have a significant bearing on the 22 in Round 1 2013.

If my memory serves me correctly and it may not, he did come back and play some good footy but his career petered out due to back/soft tissue injuries? edit: Wiki says "hip and buttock injuries"

No-one "likes" Stingas photo. Wrong demographic maybe.

Precisely, he and his family would be expecting him to be moving, either Blacktown or Melbourne..

With all of the false dawns that we have had over the years, this gives me hope. Notwithstanding the skills and physical strength that these blokes also bring.

Look at Todd Viney's recruiting criteria. Best available is a multi-layered philosophy.

Ms Ogynist thank you

Should go well down back.

Strauss is a different animal, still hold hope for him. We need him to turn out to be a good one, we need his ilk. Needs belief

Who could forget this one?

It's unusual that a single side has so many early picks and can afford to be selective on a needs basis.

Rob Mac Jack Watts should aim to be best half back in the league and no less. Stinga has it about right.

Edited for amusement

Would love the penny to drop... I predict that this will go either way. Col has a big start and finally starts to play consistent four quarter games on a weekly basis or like Moloney ends up in the 2s. Can't see Neeld allowing players to coast regardless of ability levels.

What old dee is saying is that by then he may give a [censored] .....but he wont know the exact moment that the [censored] will come and when it has come he won't necessarily know that it has happened. But it won't be his problem cos he won't be the one cleaning it up anyway.

I would like to see the words "highly respected" "handsome" and "street cred" appear.

I have a photo with Damien Oliver...

It will be fascinating to see how we structure with 2 key forwards when not long ago we had none. Head says rapid improvement is possible heart says she will only hurt you again.

Despite the unpleasant subject matter I have enjoyed reading this topic immensely. Let's hope that these difficulties galvanise those at the club as it has those on demonland. Maybe the footy group's no nonsense philosophy has somehow leached into land.

Let's not start a file on Cameron Pedersen.
