  1. Exactly... and yet Sheahan deliberately refocused the motive of all this with his little inuendos. I smell a rat.
  2. Keep in mind Bradford is a past Mayor who definitely liked to do things his way...whehter that was legal or not ! lol. That is to say..some of his overlording tactics were often knocked on the head and he probably still smarts from this. With Bradford its very much "my way or the highway"...probably the Princess :D
  3. Bradford has been against this from day one. Fair enough..his prerogative. Id be curious as to Bradfords political aspirations
  4. Is it me..or is there something very odd about all this.. I mean the story/reporting !!
  5. How about we all go get ourselves a beer..a wine.. a latte..or a chill pill. We dont really know ANYTHING. Other than Sawides is going and its been correctly highlighted that that in itself may NOT be such a bad thing !! It was mentioned in the article that it was thought MasNamee might use some help/mentoring. All of a sudden he's being replaced. It all sounds a bit Mark Twain to me !!
  6. Im certainly not asking for his head. I think he does have the makings of a good forward. He will just need to play a little less Ooze-ish ( the easier marks and kicks with less second efforts ) and use his talent in a more Neeta ..keep at them manner. One aspect of Neetas game he can leave out is rubber chesting though Its up to him.
  7. I think Rhino actually is pretty wel on the bal here as oppose to the subject of this conversation. Juice is another of those ooh ahh seems to promise so much and yet under scrutiny isnt really delivering muchnor with any aplomb. I never played at any real level ( only suburban ) but do know one very important apsect of playing up the sharp end ( which I did ) . You need to make every forward incursion of the ball count. Thats your job. Thats ALL your job really is about. Yes there are icings on teh cake these days..forward defensive pressure etc. But the fundamentals are simple..find the pill and kick it between th the big sticks.. Many may wish to over complicate this to their hearts cntent but it remains that. Your a forward..the job is to kick or facilitate goals. Rule #1 if you can get your mitts near it..you MUST mark it !!..and geez its easier these days ..they cant touch your arms.. so if Juice was clever enough he make sure he got the free even if not the grab. He doesnt do this. Rule #2 if you fail rule one.. pull out all stops to get it any other way. This requires many 2nd and 3rd efforts. You dont sulk and let them run away !! Your job as a forward is not only to kick goals but make it as hard as hell for a back to fend them. Juice doesnt seem to do this. Now he might come along..and I hope he does as he does show something.. But the story so far is defintely that he "Has talent, lacks application "
  8. words are cheap... actions speak volumes..
  9. West Coast 16 2 14 0.... 64.7..... 8 Melbourne.. 16 2 14 0.... 64.3.... 8 what a perfect result....phew...that was close ...lol
  10. missed.......by "THAT " much !!! :D :D :D
  11. With all due respect..I'd call it stupidity !! But this is why. It makes no sense. If he is doing this with such results then he certainly doesnt do himslef any favours. It wil come home to haunt him. Nice of him to lead..very noble, yadda yadd yadda.. He not the only one who can.. We're not playing for finals etc..and yet he risks himself.. Again..stupid This is not war.. this is not life and death ..this is after all..just a game. This is after all..his livelyhood. Whyrisk your ongoing health for such little return ..I am not being disparaging for the sake of it..its a legitimate question.. One, someone like me who's a bit older feels is warranted. There are ways to lead without putting your bosy through unecessary rigours...for what ?? With all due respect you are a mate and close..good for you..we see things differently.. possibly more clinincally. Probably with better perspective to be honest. If hes in this much distress ..hang the boots up for the rest of the year.. have a good pre season..and come out fighting fit for next year.. That makes sense to me Otherwise Im really not interested in half fit people going out for whatever reason..again..its just stupid..and very poor return on the doillar being paid by the club. That goes for anyone..
  12. Is that Waller ex Beauie ??
  13. http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/news/styn...6163059401.html Chairman Jimma would like us to get back to the days where we are so successfull that all others will despise us. Cant argue with that !! It does go to the subject of the Demon as used in the presentation of our club..A smiley happy Demon doesnt really invoke such feelings does it ?? lol...need to get a bit of niggle and mischief back into that fella Might be hard for all to despise us ( and could you please hold off until all monies donated ..lol ) as we all know a certain other Band of Filth have the local franchise on that !! But I like where Jimmas taking us on this
  14. Who's up for a beer before we take our place in the peanut gallery Probably bit a bit boring til they get to the Melb bit !!
  15. Richmond are a lovely team ..full lof lovely supporters... really..youre all top blokes..and sheilas of course !! Now..the MFC account is : BSB... :D
  16. 10 grand thankyou ... very much
  17. Nugget.. I notice you have as your signature a reference to the future. What is the poiint really in playing anyone who wont be on the list next year ? Who would you prefer get a game ..Yze..or Valenti
  18. As I understand it.. the quacks et al have him as fit.. its he thats making the call. Thats the issue I have with. If he's not fit.he's not fit. If he wasnt fit..this isnt /wouldnt be an issue, but apparently thats not what is reported
  19. I think part of this is the club need to instruct its workers that...you play when WE say so...not you !!
  20. A bit of a giggle.. anyone would be excused for thinking they were far removed from us on the ladder..instead of our neighbour but for percentage !!
  21. I tend to agree. We will be in no worse a position and if anything it might send a clear message "Dont stuff us around" It'll give Benny more time to concentrate on other things without the inconvenience of work.
  22. Id go along with that.. bare stats mean nothing really... All need a qualifying aspect Be interested in seeing in 5 match strings also, to see if any trend.
  23. Thas obviously taken over the year. Id like to know how we rate over say last 5 games.
  24. The simple reality with Adem is he's about to be 31 by seasons end. Thas not the end of the age scale you want to be in a market that values youth and some chance at a number of years service going forward. Adem really can provide neither of that. If he was a superstar who could provide a disproportionate return for time on field then he might pinch hit in a team with top four aspirations. But he's not. He's now run into a regime who simply wont tolerate anything that doesnt suit its cause. In the past he had a very handy second in his corner by the name of Daniher. He no longer has this luxury. Adem must know himself his future is outside of this club...and its unlikley to be at this level. I hope he can continue to enjoy his footy. "" I've tried to have a good attitude at Sandy"" Many of us would have preferred this had been the m/o in earlier years for Melbourne. All in all you cant help but feel some chickens have come home to roost !!
  25. Somewhat annoying as Ive always liked Dutchy. This development disheartens me. Im a correct in that he is all but simply refusing to play ?i.e He fit enough..is selected..but chooses for whatever to not to? Isnt that simply Breach of Contract ?
