Silly season is off and running

I tend to agreee its something of a misnomer in suggesting the Pies ought to be top of the VFL etc. Thats not why they are there. Its so they can completely control how the Non-1st-22's are trained, developed and played. They have total control . So does Geelong.I think if we can create a very close relationship with Casey then its about as good as we will get in the near future.

you cant face your adversaries until you acknowledge them.Or in another view; its not whether the glass is half full or half empty; you can still fit another half in !! The Club simply has to decide its stance and do something positive . I suppose we can stop being treated on otbers terms and take the front foot .

Interestingly my wife, her family and about 4 good mates are all Collingwood . All but one arent fussed about Cloke goibg and wonder whether he can actually reproduce the form of recent years . Current form suggests that a very reasonable question . All, but one happy to suspend talks and maybe spend money on others . Im siding with them.....only as to the opinion that is.lol Go Dees

Consensus suggests a one year extension ; possibly even now as an act of faith and to buoy the lad up ( obvious get out clauses etc ) Then we get back to the footy. Thatd be novel.

Or just like sh!t stirring !! Lol

Funny how the mind works; i can visualise Cloke in a Scum jumper, but not in ours. I think OD may be right. Will be a very interesting EOS !!!

must have been too subtle

I just cant help thinking David Cloke isn't so silly after all !

yes and no. Re-signed to what then ? To some through longevity of a new signing may signify something also. Short=bet each way; longer some feel may be not so clever re injuries etc. Youre pretty well on a hiding to nothing here.Wheres the guarantee he'll ever don Red and Blue again ? We all hope he does but will he ? I think its too easy just to say rpfc is say off. The club has some serious thinking to do.

He is not on the AFL FA list

I wonder how many Ambassadorial roles Carlscum have up their sleeves ?

dems da ones !!

those brown paper bags are annoying !!

Probably the most equitable solution.

The VFL cant be too far off toppling over ( in its current format ) shame

the corner ?

Dees aim to be active in trade

a massive Yuendumu hangover ....just wont go away

hmmm...big call coming

Have you wondered why Howe is even there at all ?? To FILL in.. He would normally be playing 2nd or 3rd fiddle on the fwd line. He was recruited as a forward. Why would you NOT consider Jurrah as a prime forward, that s what he is. Arguably current situation may negate this , but ftm he is a fwd. He was our leading kicker in 2011 !! Clark.. Was in form and likely to give the Coleman a crack until injured. Hes still not far behind Cloke for this season...still !! Ive said, and im not alone we need that smaller forward to balance out he attack. I dont see Clark, Jurrah, Howe, Sylvia ( as a flanker ) as too b bad. Garland will get better. Martin can play as FF..put Clark as CHF in a JB type role..Not missing too much. Ive not forgotten our picks at all. I would expect tthey will pick a few mid types. But they arent all going to ready day 1...and thats the point..We need to GO come round 1 2013. We keep getting and drafting potential only to see it walk away or not be realised through lack of progress. ANy picks , save Viney are not immediate prospects, they never are.

you assume hed even be welcomed back.

sorry rpfc...to be more clear I was wondering what year...not so much what day ? cheers

not a bad idea. How do I say this without being considered racially challenged. Much is made of the notionthat the indigenous ought not be treated any different yet that flies inthe face of just about evvery other consideration the league proffers. Maybe there does indeed have to be some special basket into which such cases get put. If the AFL wants to be 'inclusive' they also have to faciltate "exclusive" There sort of has to be some sort of "time out " for extenuating circumstances.

much in what you say Old Dee Kanobe !!
