that or think we'll have enough to work with until some more come on line ( into sight ) next year .

O yes we have, my wordy wordy !! Didnt you hear the "yelp " !!!

or would you scrap p70 and take someone in the PSD ? Just putting it out there. Then a possible recycled player is the competition for Davis. Neeld is probably tipping the scales towards here and now, that wouldnt favour Davis id suggest

Call me a cynic...but gee .Hasnt the press gone quiet on us ( re T ) all of a sudden !! lol Only a few ..."nice' articles to show for the last couple of days now I think Melbourne finally grew into its old "Demon" suit again. Sometimes you just have to front up and puff your chest , stand you ground , look your adversary square in the eyes and utter...." Do you really, REALLY want this ??"

hmmm... worth pondering over.

In a sense they all keep each and many others honest. Competition for places is good

Good to see a whole bunch of MEN wearing Red and Blue instead of the little league team of old !!

Not so much relevant to write about but something that in her mind might make HER seem more relevant to anything football !!She hoping the factuality of the subject with cloak her in similar. Sorry Kerro....we know you for what you are !!

The only caveat i see with all of this is the agreement that the desire is to building a winning team. This then goes to the idea that its a winning team and not a team of winners which then could go to that old chest nut a Champion team and not a team of champions. I think the concept of always "best available " dismisses to quickly at times the reality of what is it you need to maintain a Champion team. Granted we havent either description truly yet but id always look to build a Champion team. Sometimes they employ less than glamourous types but they do the job. Look at a fantastic house.. its great, marvellous to live in but you only see the 'surfaces" . What binds it and often holds it up is hidden. Does that detract from its appeal ?

Could have left it pretty much there WJ For all their collected hyperbole I often wonder if much of the media has a clue beyong getting occasioanally lucky some weeks at the tipping or assembling a fantasy team in supercoach. Neither needs the ability to actually put together a real team , coach them and /or have any real knowledge of playing football. Just an ability to read the state of play. Its a bit like someone who says" i like that house": but questions why various rooms were designed how they were or why certain windows or doors faced this or that direction displaying no understanding of the fundamentals of building or architectural practices. Ie. they really havent a bloody clue.. Form follows function So it is even with a football team. The shape and makeup of it need to reflect the job(s) at hand. There were simply too many of the wrong elements in the wrong place. These flaws have been addressed. The armchair experts question the legitimacy of this direction by Melbourne. You have to seriously wonder sometimes just how moronically inept and glaringly short on comprehension skills some of the 4th estate actually are. I see a problem in that so may seem to follow each others tails that theyve grown a taste for what eminated from those regions and this in turn flavours their rhetoric. i.e this is why they talk sh!t; because theyre trying to look relevent withiin their industry as opposed to actually providing informed and meaningful comment to the readers. Strange that just about most every Freddy of the vison challenged kind can see what Melbourne is doing yet the "experts" are of the "jury is out " frame of mind. Melbourne has opted not for yet another bandage job but has excised the rotten and contaminated and replaced with capability. It might not look all shiny and pretty which is how the experts see things but it'll be a goer. And just you al lwatch them belatedly heap retropsective praise of the 'enlightened and visional" rebuild next year when even the dunces can see what it was all about...hey Alfie !!

Looks like shes heading over to have another gnaw at the Tippett bone now., the JYD !!

If he doesnt pull his finger out and get fair dinkum he'll struggle to even get a game. . He wouldnt be walking...hed be nudged !!

late night ...Dinner at Seabuzz ( which I can hgighly recommend btw ) Dessert .....Banana piecces wrapped in filo, berry coulis,mascarpone with ice cream ....yumm

Ka ching....moneyball. Welcome Tom

How bloody good does it feel to "Push Back!!"

Just consider though for a moment. Who is involved and what would the preferred outcomes be. The AFL doesn't want to whack Melbourne. Far too much effort and cost for no real result . It wants Tanking put to bed along with shutting up those pesky sniping dogs that have been on Vlads back. The AFL are the ones controlling this as theyve just reminded certain folks ! They CAN orchestrate a result. And orgs such as ASIO CIA MI6 actually do exist lol

Thing is also hes a ready to go player. No need to wait for development allowing better developing of other players . This is nothing short of wholesale change in action. Very much needed .

Very clever Vladimir; ensuring the investigating is flawed thereby ensuring a non actable finding. Result. Tanking officially put to bed. Teams live on and vexatious and spiteful elements of the media hung out to dry!! I wonder if she even realises shes been played ? Lol And we move on.

Fcs theres some chicken little worry warts amongst us. Can the MFCSS just grow some

yep. Just becomes one less vacancy.

What this also says is the AFL is running the show and not any trumped up trollops from the media.

Pretty much what we should be expecting at this point....nothing. To be followed by more of same. A lot of chest puffing and articulting of nonsenses still to happen.......then more nothing. That is nothing dressed up as something to sate some of the baying rabble.

Any which way it showing a trend whereby Neelds FD is despatching the namby pambiness of the old Melbourne and installing at worst a capable framework of players . The lighweights and perennial 'potentials' have been moved on... Hurrah !!!!!

What....someone suggesting a " fit up !! " Neverrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!!!!
