I like the guy's talent but we can't be a second chance city for cast offs who have bad work ethic anymore. The boards have been blowing up lately with our other guy in that category.

Yeah I'm with you. Bring Frost in, I was enjoying T-Mac back in the backline but our best bet is with him up front for Weid.

Yeah for sure. Even just for loose statements like your classic "Most Melbourne people would say that Jake Lever would be a valuable addition" line

A player like that would give us some leverage! Ok that's enough!

Yeah I'd expect the media people to peruse this forum.

Worth a shout. Definitely prefer Lever though

I do like the guy as well. He brings something to the table and its kind of nice to see a player for us with a little swagger. However an auto-in he is not, even before all that hoo hah he wasn't a walk up start by any stretch of the imagination. Have him in the mix by all means but he's gotta earn his spot again.

He does spout some serious nonsense on a daily basis but that one really takes the cake!

Alice just seems like a better fit. I'd be happy to keep that one and hopefully even get up for one of them eventually.

What the heck is he talking about? Don't you need to be 5 years removed or something like that?

I do think now that Clarry has done enough to be in the 22. I'd love to see Jetta at least make the 30 but I just can't see it happening because its not fancy enough.

Its just still too early to tell. He's basically raw material. A couple of pre-seasons and then we'll judge.

One can dream though!

Its tougher than one would think. If Viney somehow doesn't get up he could be in the mix, otherwise Casey it is for me.

I'd say you would be correct yes. Didn't help that he stuffed up his statement either. It doesn't matter though because its completely ridiculous. The MRP seem to have differing views on everything.

I've heard similar things so it will be a bit up the air for a bit. I do think offense minded coaches are the way to go currently with it being a passing league. His Superbowl gaff was pretty hard to miss but hopefully he can bring something. Hoyer as QB won't get us to a superbowl but I think he can win us a few games, Garcon knows Shanahan and brings some experience. Who knows!

Yeah for sure. We were without key personnel for a very long time and really how many times this year have we played with a full strength forward line? Its caused a lot of imbalance and I think we've handed in overall very well.

Not long now guys. How's everyone's team training camps going? I'm hoping my 49ers can at least get 4 wins or above this season.

No doubt he hates us. Have to say this was my first time watching the show in a while so not totally up to date with his material. I can only take so much BT. Quite often turn the volume down in games he's calling.

I just couldn't believe how instantly scathing he was. Like he couldn't wait for that topic to come up and serve up a right whack!

Did anyone catch Talking Footy last night? BT completely wrote us off doing any damage in the finals if we make it and even went on to say we've been a disappointment and that all the talk was around St Kilda under performing and more should be about us. I get what he's saying to an extent. I don't think we can really make a lot of noise and we've got a bunch of under 50 gamers but to say we're a disappointment is just wrong.

Yeah that is true. I guess all that 'toffeeness' doesn't translate to the rigors and brawn of a footy game!

That would be sensational!

For his size he has decent toe
