yep..and saw him( maric ) turn Goddard inside out and upside down.. don't underestimate his ability !! he's good !!

I wouldnt mind some Demon Moccies... I think some are just slightly over exagerating Cranbourne's persona <_<

see ^^^^^^^^^

sorry...make that 7 bottle tops and TWO packets of crisps !!. The swans were seeing if we would give him away !!

Yes..and if you listened carefully to Bails he did indeed speak of Robbos aerobic capacity.. his motro etc. That she effected a spoil fruther up field. I thought that rather strange myself to talk of that when discussing. I mean.. Robbo is a forward. Didnt speak too much about his great effort near the sticks.. or his dmaging affect on the scorebaord.. NO. He spoke of his need to work a bit harder and get results. Or maybe we just hear different things !! Yep Swannies wanted Miller so badly they offered 5 bottle tops.. , a Blockbuster coupon and a packet of crisps !!

I think you'l find nothig has been signed yet. There are still some issues regarding funding and the afl. I had the impresion that the MFC was looking to casey as a longer term Summer venue in respect to training. What has also been announced by the club is they were moving some FOOTBALL ADMIN/DEPT ( open to correction ) etc to Casey FOR ONE YEAR ONLY..and this would revert back to Bubbledome when complete....but some training would continue on ..until whenever..over summers...and occasionally through season

You choose your wood according to the job....... didnt ya know !!!

I'll agree ( you'll sleep better I'm sure !! ).. its just logical you establish a plan..then assemble the resources to implement it. Bails thinks he has the plan...just needs the timber!!

Bugger was only talking him up to a mate today...bugger!! Full & speedy recovery Paul !! Bails has always said he will reward effort and training so who's to say Meeson might not get a look in ?

I certainly hope Vlad the Demitrifool has taken more care with the treatment of this area ( 17th and 18th teams ) than he did with even the notion of entering the GC without first firming up a ground..or the legalities surounding it !! lol He's like a kid with a toy isnt he !! and as much periferal vision as one too

Thanks Baz.. I was indeed aware of his ( MW) nature..just concerned me he was a pace or two from being able to do just that.. command his zone.. He ( to me ) was giving to much largesse to his oppo !! Should that Martin- Frawley come good then we might indeed be able to stem and fix the largest worry for us ( I have felt ) our defence. Smalls can crumb and kick goals.. midfields can shark the other teams hit outs.. but nothing will save the defence if its undermanned.

Oh..please I agree.. certainly drawing a short straw isnt it !! but then again is it a lot differnt for the many ( not the elite that would walk in to a game early in first season) playing in say the VFL down here..or SANFL etc... I acknowledge not quite on par.. but its similar effect. I do agree 100% that its the 3 years that would be somewhat heartbreaking for an aspiring player All things aside I thik they sould only come to the draft table one year out..not three

Just commenting upon the surface (sic) of this topic.... No way ought the Toiges be allowed any access to the G !! They can bloody well go find some "other' training location just as we have had to ffs.

I may be reading it wrong.. but I got the impression the drafted players wouldnt be sitting out.. but be playing with the new franchise team in an "other" comp as they got up to speed. Still playing footy...just not AFL yet

Isack Weetra ........................................ watch and wait..may let go Expires 2009 Aaron Davey .........................................re-sign Expires 2010 Cameron Bruce .....................................nothing to do here

I might hupothesise here.. seems obvious Ricky isnt quite up to scratch..despite initial appearances. If his situtaion was more seeious you would think he'd go straight to th Long Term Injury list ?? possibly requires more conditioning. Sightings at training ?? Youd expect the Master to appear with Zebs first.

Strangely...the same number of goals as Robbo !!

Matty certainly will ( wheel..lol ) add some pressure and composure to the backs.. Its his kind of 'calm; runni ngout the back which we've missed and im sure Bails will gladly utilise...Will fit perfectly his mould of game I think. I'd been wonderig if Martin might not be a likely defender. Its the missing lin kup back for us..someone whocan take the #1 forward..releasing Carroll to do what he does. we need patience huh !! lol

A couple of questions ...for anyoe at that game.. well ..actually anyone..lol 1) was Wheels a little tighter this week.. just concerns me at AFL level that Matty might be giving a little to much room ( if current VFL efforts a guiide)...might be just me..lol 2) Barry.. WJ anyone.. does Martin have the goods to be at least half a Fletcher ?

a few more pounds then this probably wouldn't occur...lol http://mm.afl.com.au/Portals/0/images/AFL/.../MOrton-246.jpg

Nice return of soe form for Brucey ( bout time) Paul , really think hes starting to find his legs.. I think we may stil need an out and out 1st ruck.. but PJ makes a good #2 possibly a KPP..possibly He's really gone off the boil ol' Jeff.. he hard to find on the green at times.. Half ther player he was..just reality Good call there.. needs to calm down that fraction doesnt he.. lose a tad of urgency and gain composure Needs a good run in magoos.. or a rest...he's not 100% nothing to add. Yep...getting back up to speed. has been obviously rusty.. ... get the brasso out...lol Alwasy feel he's underated.. love that kick. Is a bloke who does ride better with confidence. needs to learn footy...back to the Zebs!! for a while !!! Yeah...I like this kid.. has great balance.. no show poney...just nugety.. I think he'll be solid for us for a while.. Rapidly trying everyones patience....needs to go back and find his MOJO !!

Imagine todays effort...if only we had had a modicum of forward fire power. From our nominated forward line..the grand score of.........1 goal 4 behinds.. I kid you not !!!!!! How the hell does anyone expect us to win games if ( and for a change no disrepaect to him ) Bruce is the leading goal kicker for the day. Something has to change...and quick...if we are to actually score anything resembling a WINNING total !!

Aussie and Maric are two different players for two different parts of the ground.. Give Aussie a bit of space..and his balance and skills are good.. Dont fence him in. Maric..well ive seen him in close quarters.. for a small bloke he's quite clever....really.

and he still has more inate talent in his left middle toe than those up the front at present !!

If anywhere Id give him a spell on a half back flank..where his ability to mark ( and he can ) is useful to get the ball onto a linkup player heading down the guts....Might also teach him accountability
