pj wasn't doom and gloom at all. he was honest and forthright. he's hopefully going to be a real agent for change for us. -
Riewoldt sucked the ump in perfectly then.

Oh, Jack...

Dominating this quarter but can't buy a goal! And I'm sorry, but I couldn't be less impressed by Toumpas. He just doesn't have any defensive intensity whatsoever and he's so hesitant at the contest. Why was Dawes selected? Clearly incapacitated.

He also indicated that appointing the two Jacks was a mistake, and that there is no one on our list like Hodge who leads both on and off the field. Also said that the club would no longer leak like a sieve to the media - used the example of no one knowing Neeld was being fired on Monday as the example. Very, very impressive interview. -

ouch, parko has said our list is bereft of talent - maybe 8 or 9 players on our list would make the other sides in the competition. -
pretty incredible. to sum it up: - the club has been all-spin, no action for too long - this rebuild is genuine not spin - we have been a drag on the competition for a long time - we have no leaders in our club - players have a belief that they are 'wasting their careers' at the dees - our players need to understand that pj is pushing to undergo massive change and they need to be part of that - our staff are young and inexperienced (football, admin, both? it wasn't made clear) - if we are unable to interview prospective coaches due to their current engagement at their own clubs, so be it - it doesn't change the basic planning that needs to take place - pj is in regular contact with the afl but they are NOT 'driving the car' - the afl is now the major financier of the club - they will have a say on the board - they are backing pj's plan for the dees pretty full on, i've gotta say. everyone on the aunty panel basically says the dees are in good hands. neeld has already had approaches for 2014 according to parko. parko is still a season ticket holder for the dees, and says neil craig has a clear vision for the remainder of the season.

Cupboard not completely bare
whatwhat say what replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
couldn't agree more. would he be the best midfield in any other team in the competition? i would strong doubt it. but he's the sort of bloke you know will die trying, and he very well might be our 'heart & soul' player. -

B: Terlich - Frawley - Garland HB: Grimes - McDonald - GAP C: Trengove - N Jones - Howe HF: GAP - Hogan - GAP F: Clark - Dawes - GAP Foll: Gawn - GAP - Viney I/C: Toumpas (?) - Stretch (?) - GAP Sub: GAP others: Tapscott?, Evans?, M. Jones?, Kent ?, McKenzie?, Barry?, Taggert?, Tynan?, Lovett? we need a quick and skilled half-back flanker (think Shaw) which Toumpas very well may become, a hard nut ruck rover with breakaway pace (Thomas would be perfect, but Aish or Dunstan might fill this role), a livewire half-forward or two. a small forward, and quality depth on the bench. whoever we pick up with our first three draft selections (presumably three inside 20 or so) should add midfield depth and class (aish, dunstan, etc.), or potentially another vital forward (e.g. boyd), although shoe-horning them in might be tricky - but you always want top quality class, so if he's best available, take him. -

yeah, read that with interest this morning. not sure about the forward line, and in the paper she had dawes listed on the bench and at full forward. i can see clark forward, gawn in the ruck, howe up on the wing, watts gone, blease gone, sylvia gone. she also left off billy stretch and jake lovett, and as well we know, they're going to be the best father-son selections since baby judas and ol' man fletcher. -

bring that on. so that's three midfielders - two inside, one outside - from our 80s forefathers. geelong had, what, a key forward, a key back, and a couple of mids? how old are the ox's kids? such a shame lyon's boys don't show this sort of talent! -

roos says he has no burning desire to coach. didn't say he wasn't INTERESTED in coaching tho...

Any clues? -
Kennett future MelbourneFC President?
whatwhat say what replied to Satan's topic in Melbourne Demons
an egm would make sense. i guess the key is having an understanding of what has been presented to the afl. as members we deserve to know what that is. at the moment, has there been any detail of the plan released? same goes for jeff. words are fine, but do they have any substance? all we've got at this point is him saying he 'wants the job' without any indication as to what he would intend to put in place. governance is all i can recall. and...? -
Kennett future MelbourneFC President?
whatwhat say what replied to Satan's topic in Melbourne Demons
initially i was on the whole 'he's doing this for himself' trip. my 'thources' have, like caro's, indicated that there's no one who has gone to him as a solution to be the next president of the mfc. so i'm hesitant to believe him. but i'm prepared to wait and see what his purported ticket is. if it doesn't materialise by tuesday - late on monday on footy classified, perhaps? - as promised then i think i'll move back into this being all about jeff mode. -
agreed with sweet puff. we should absolutely be throwing big bikkies at daisy thomas as a free agent, at taylor adams to hold out for the psd rather than re-contracting with gws. then if we are so poor that we finish stone motherless, it's got to be best available with pick #1, and best available with pick #2 (if we are granted a priority pick), and best available with pick #20, and so on and so forth. i look back at the 09 draft where we had the opportunity to get luke ball in with pick #18 instead of luke tapscott, and just shake my head. i understand that he only wanted to go to collingwood but, quite frankly, tough. he'd be our captain now, i believe.
