Einstein, where are these mids going to come from?

The fact that we offered David McKay nearly half a million a year...

Yes but who are these A grade midfielders. Where are they going to come from!? Do we wait years before the kids get there? If anyone can give me a viable plan to 'get' these A grade midfielders I'm all ears...

Offer the man a 1.5 million dollar 7 year deal. Won't get another chance like this in a long time. I hope that this is actually being discussed at HQ.

So you'd be happy to give it 15 years?

That's the strategy of every club... It's just that nothing in this year has suggested that the current mob will be able to bring this to fruition... I'm interested to hear what would need to happen for you to completely loss faith in the current set-up?

Does this suit make me look fat???

A few random stats for the teams this week: The average games played per player this week for Essendon is around 80, minus Fletcher it is 68. Essendon have 5 players that have played at least 100 games. Melbourne's average is 60 games with 6 players playing at least 100 games...

Well there were no lines at the bar...what a great day... Might be a few this weekend though...

No lines at the bar...

G'day DeeVoted, I'm Balki from Mypos in the All Stars

I know what your saying old dee, just wouldn't want to wish Fitzroy on anyone.

. Why do you wish this...sadist.

Don't see why, more games, more money.

No, I think It's a 21 year old man still working himself out.

Agreed. Further to this I don't understand why he 'has' to be some form of KPP or take on a 'Jared Rivers' type role. I saw numerous games last year where he constantly hit blokes on the chest, lace out, with both feet, reminded me a bit of TJ. If he can develop a superior motor and work on his speed and accelaration he can be anything. I agree with C & B in regards to putting him in the middle. He could be so damaging that I would leave him to his own devices and let the opposition worry about him.

Could be the next James Hird if he had a large motor.

WARD WINS INAUGURAL SHEEDY MEDAL What a joke! I can think if about a dozen players that had a better year than him.

Wonder if the M Thompson rumours will pop up again?

Agree. Ratten would still be there if Roos and Malthouse were unavailable.
