was a bit really wasnt it...life on the edge for me !!

Actually Im not..and thats the real tenet of the post. But it does become somewhat intriguing that when the pressure is off he has a few tricks in his bag. Many would have him as a candidate for the MFC Tuber award, for many hes still that work in progress; for some hes just this side of an enigma. There's obviously 'something' there. Hes now on the Senior list...it must be time soon ?

do you notice the irony ?

A new contender for most idiotic thread of year...got my vote

Wonder if any change in Wests thinking with Scott appointed? Probably get more chances with him .. Just a thought

You could be right there Dof

Lol What would you expect Scott to say givien the circumstances? All of Geelong expects them to maintain the rage . Well rage they might but saying is not doing . They were horribly exposed by the filth Even carlsum gutted them Geelong of 2010 not that of 2009 . tide already turning. 2011 to see a redrawing of the team ... That's just an IS . Respect them as a team but only have them 5-7 in 2011. That's my view Scott says still flag contenders ... Yeah yeah As if he'd have said different.

Of course it's just bloody opinion. You seek concrete where none exists . Scott already suggesting he'll blood more kids etc .We all know what happens then. It takes time. Their core is getting old. A lot of their game revolved around the mercurial GA and side kick Chappy. That engine room dramatically curtailed . Has to be knock on effects that will take a season to sort out as new guys come on and style solidifies. Geelong ain't going to be what it was ... IMHO lol

They are alluding to still be in hunt for 2011 cup . No ablett , new coaches.. Some oldies hanging around too long ( Bombers favs etc) Structure ofteam and game style about to change sufficiently to lose that momentum Top 8 ?yep Top 4 ?... they're dreaming

Does beg a question ... Who will stay and who might go , coaches etc , now Scott at reigns ?

An interesting if not inspired choice . Would have been handy at Dees z. Such is life . I think Geelong are kidding themselves if they think they will maintain the competitveness through 2011. They won't bottom but will co e back to the field . 2012 when the newish team gels and youngens come on they will start climbing again without doubt. They are in a semi rebuilding/ redefining mode.

DOF...he ALREADY is a household name !! if you were to poll all of footy land and ask but one question. If you could poach just one player from any team...who would that be? tell you now... 97% would say Liam Jurrah , Melbourne... that other 3% just dont know footy !! LOL

Well unfortunately due to family commitments saw nothing of this game. ( No PC handy..lol ) Now who is this interloper running around masquerading as our Jake ?? By all accounts he didnt put in too bad a game..a a running long bomb for a snag ??? wtf... who is this guy !! Now I know it was 'only' an exhibition game.. but footy players are footy players . Its a game..one to be played. So is he starting to show us what the FD must know is there ? Did he just step up a bit ?? Is this guy really Jake ?? lol

good idea...send it to the club ( seriously )

sorry..... did t quite catch that.. So is he Officially a Star now ??? :) all kidding aside... its going to be one hell of a 2011 its not that hes just a football freak.... its that he's OUR freak !! well done Liam

Not surprised to see himdo well . Thought his ethics and application top notch . His maturity brings poise and robustness to our back 50 . Some of the others coming through may eventually displace him but he'll keep everyone honest in those endeavours. The price was right and he delivers to boot (npi) Well done Joel .. a top Dee

wonder if we were one of the clubs ??? youd have to think we were

Just noticed...and I might be slow but the link on the official AFL site to the MFC site is now our new Emblem ) Slowly but surely we'll educate the masses ) Again well done MFC... (p.s If already noted...just chuck in bin Mods )

Trent West sort of prompted some of this thinking... but Im inclined to think if we were to get him it might be via the PSD.. So not a rookie ; might be..who knows..just as valid really but would think hed get a gig without going the rookie road. Weve had a good chance to see what most of our current crop have and to me they are all covered..or elevated.

As an addendum: keep in mind the rookie doesnt have to be a unknown kid....it could be like Brad Miller.. someone superfluous to requirements at one club...but possibly having some value at another. All horses for courses stuff !

Much talk...and deservedly so about who and what our draft picks will be used for. But theres another branch to the family, the Rookies. I dare say few other clubs have done so incredibly well over the journey as ours in getting some absolute Gems out of the Rookie basket. Our esteemed outgoing Captain amongst them. Current stars also all come from that wondrous of wonders the Rookie List. Last year was a tad different. we were keeping a few and making the best of a bad situation in re-rookie-ing a couple. Expedience at best Id suggest Currently on the list Rhys Healey Danny Hughes Jordie McKenzie John Meesen Jake Spencer kind of...well ought to be Michael Newton ( yes elevated I know ) Of these Meesen retires to take up a position within the club, Spencer is elevated, Mckenzie elevated too with 2y deal. Those in limbo land : Healy, Hughes and Newton. Rookies can come from a number of avenues. Draftees overlooked/passed over. Clubs re-signing their un-sures or older players out of favour looking to kick start afield...i.e Miller at the Toiges. we already have 3 vacancies on the list. Do we go for ( or need ) more ? Do we utilize one for say a PJ or such ? Do we clean out and look afresh. Personally thats my pick. We pretty well know what we get from the remaining. We still have a bit of warehoused talent to come through. I would like to see a few left field inspired selections for some arguably "projects" at best or toss of the coin experiments if being blunt. Im not even sure who id pick...but the coming weeks ought to flesh out some aspirants. Open to suggestions though.... the who ? and why ?

A butterfly flaps its wings ......................

could someone go out for a truck load of humour !! deliver to these forums.... must be a leak somewhere as so many angry faces I reckon J McM ought to get MFC life membership for outstanding contribution to our beloved club's cause. Ah yes... can here the moans and derision already...Such scandalous heresy etc etc etc that truck here yet ?

Mods don't suffer fools or trolls for long. As you've nothing of any football worth to add go and enjoy your beer

Let's return focus to Jack (singular).. Someone worthy of discussion.
