Good kick Bison

Need to execute

Reasonable start

The tea leaves can be telling. It's anyone's guess how they are assessing Jeffo at the moment. Kind of feels like they were obliged to give him his debut but no further plans.

It's a happy hunting ground for Melk, regularly kicks goals there. I reckon he'll be on again, chalk him in for 2.

Couldn't agree more SWYL. I also spent some time in that area and absolutely love that ground. I don't really have a connection or interest with Casey other than tracking how our players are going, Sandy is where the heart is.

Yeah, that's definitely not going to help the already anxious thinkers.

I like it! One of the better 'detailed' jumpers. Might even be close to my favourite.

Drop 10% in this game and we'll lose. Need to bring something close to our best. The days of winging it are over so wing over there and get the job done.

It's the fight of the century. Father time is undefeated but here comes a worthy challenger!

As an aside I'm still on the Zebmail mailing list because I hold Sandy in extremely high regard after our time there and I was very happy to see that they knocked back that request from STK. One of the best footy clubs in the country for mine.

Tom VS Time

Has anyone used the Mcqualter intel line yet? It's easy just copy last week's about Yze and change one word.

Ah Whopper! That takes us back, super hard at the ball and hardnosed back flanker. Craig Cameron really could find gems at rookie draft level. Remember that checkside he kicked at the G in that famous 2000 QF against Carlton from the Warne stand pocket? Seemed mathematically impossible. Memories aside, the fact that we're hearing about him now makes me think this is a long shot but his dad was a latecomer to the game and he's got more avenues to be drafted than Peter did. Keen to see how he goes.

That really is the end of an era.

I hear the general manager at the Priceline down the street only needs a week's notice. Might as well get him in for an interview 😛

I must say in pre season I thought he looked in really great shape. Something isn't quite right and it is obvious he's labouring a bit in games at the moment.

Now someone please make a quadrant or bell curve showing the best of the best, the middle, and the worst of the worst.

Very happy he got the nomination. Was possibly one of those 'weeks of consistency' nominations. Who cares how he gets it though, he's in now.

Plays a bit taller than 191cm and takes a ripping contested mark. Bit of a Jack Riewoldt type. Wouldn't say no.

It's been a great debate indeed. Looking forward to seeing how it plays out and if we are fresher as a result.

*Seven times All Australian. That's right count them, Seven. Seven is heaven...

All I'll say is he was in absolutely ripping nick back then.

Honestly I have no idea if this is a good appointment and I’m not going to pretend otherwise. I don’t believe that you need to have a background in the game to be an AFL club CEO but I do think that the position of AFL club CEO is completely different to CEO of a corporation. You do need to have a grasp on the game, liaise with members whether that be in a forum like the AGM or down at the training track. Sounds like they've picked a CEO for a specific purpose. He's a former director at Racing Victoria, Vic chamber of commerce etc. Would have absolutely loved Nicholson I think he would have fit the bill perfectly but I wasn’t in charge of the brief so I don't know what they were looking for. Caulfield is clearly the priority so we’ve gone with someone in the know at least. It could be that this is a 3-4 year appointment. Anyway I have no other opinion on this right now, I don’t feel bad and I don’t feel good. Hopefully it proves to be the right call.

Think he was a Tigs fan. He was also made their CEO at 24 y.o!
