Freddy Fuschia

The draft in which he was selected has turned into something of a disaster with McNamara (an Under 18 AA), Cheney and Maric all gone leaving only the injury prone Grimes and an out of form Morton.

Look at your avatar Redleg. It shows a horse bolting and that's what's happened with Tommy Walsh while we were having our tilt for Clark. The horse bolted. Sydney have come in with a big offer for Tommy with a strong endorsement from Tadgh. The Saints are still fighting to convince him to stay. We're a long, long, long way behind ...

If the Hawks are interested in Warnock then why not look at a possible trade for Xavier Ellis or Clinton Young. Both appear to have missed games through being injured/out of favour this year.

deeluded, the tail can't wag the dog. Melbourne's selectors are entitled to select players as they wish. The problem is simply one that's inherent in all alignments. There's always going to be some dislocation with players being promoted to the AFL side, others coming down and others back from injury. Makes it hard to have a settled team especially coming up to finals.

Shouldn't this be in the Scully thread?

If they want to win the flag they probably need the likes of Blease, Jetta and Maric in the team. I think the latter might be done and dusted for 2011 though.

Not only has this been done to death but Garry Lyon said a definite no on tonight's TFS.

McLean would be a perfect fit as a strong bodied medium sized player for the GWS. I could see him possibly in the position of co-captain.

Bit of a laugh hearing Adrian Anderson talking about looking after the integrity of the AFL when they create an uneven playing field over GWS concessions.

haha pathetic attempt to cover total confusion about the whole thing

At last, someone who gets it!

You miss the point. The fact that it has not been made public means that most of the comments about its contents are purely speculative and, in all probability, ill-informed.

What if the members demanded that the report be put on the club's website.

1, 2, 3 & 4 the four points. 5 win the game.

We're told by those in the media that CS was gone last week and that DB was to be given another year but is that the truth?

It's a good week for people who were previously involved in the club to put in their two bob's worth. A few of them would do well if they looked in the mirror themselves.

Did she elaborate on how CS involved himself in the "actual playing football side of things". Did he devise the tactics and strategies that have failed miserably this year? Did he move the cones and witches hats at training? WTF did he do that would cause the players to [censored] in the faces of their supporters like they did yesterday if it's true they pulled up?

Actually, it was 186 points. Those 2 points mean a lot.

Not quite the same. Smith did coach his son Peter who left to play for Carlton. Wasn't much chop anyway according to my information.

Utter rubbish on so many grounds that it's not funny. Any chance that the mods could do the right thing with this trash?

I don't know much about this whole situation but what concerns me is the lack of publicity about any of our other out of contract players signing up (other than Jordan Gysberts from earlier in the year) which suggests to me that the Scully standoff might be influencing a lot more than just his own negotiations for the future.

The 23rd player for Casey Scorpions would be one of the Hector twins from the Gippsland Falcons. Both of them are mid sized players who go all right. They made the initial Vic Country Under 18 squad for the national championships and I think Hayden has played for VC in an early round so my guess is that this one is Damien. The 23rd player for Werribee Tigers is related to the SEN commentator.

Moving back on topic, is anyone going to Visy Park tomorrow to watch Jack in action? Vic Metro Backs A. Tomlison (28) B. Darrou (37) B. Ellis (32) Half Backs L. Plowman (25) M. Talia (27) D.

With Jamar and Tapscott possibly back for the Freo game, it would be a real boost to our playing stocks and our depth. I wonder how Austin's going back on the Tiwi Islands with his family? Would be terrific to see him back here and happy as well.

So I suppose Swan will really be bruise-free that week.
