I can only go by the whisper I was forwarded ( and I get few ) that he might be heading South-ish for about 2.4-2.5 over 4y. I thought that might have been a good deal for Chip. Time will tell.I certainly dont think we ought to be offering any mor than 500 personally and I d only offer a 3y with an agreeable kicker. Handy to keep probably but certainly not indispensable and truly worth more as value towards a gun mid than have him play a switch role. Just mho. Dont expect many to concur.Thats fine

I mean...if it's US !!!!

rightly so

5 years at 700.....way overs if true. Hope this is just scuttlebutt

are bananas per chance part of any new diet regime to accompany this frenzy of activity ?

Melbourne boss Peter Jackson admitted the club could move away from its coaching succession plan come Paul Roos' departure at the end of 2016. I think its good at least that we're always re-evaluating things. Might also read as ....we cant make up our minds on anyone ( or no one we want has said yes ) Could be any reason but again its always good to not get too stuck in a rut .

I can neither confirm nor deny

Essendon obsessed about its propriety ( awkward and conflicted I would have thought ) Little ...obsesses about Essendon Hird obsesses about Hird Robinson obsessed about thinking he's relevant News Ltd obsessed period ..but really really likes Essendon Wilson ( c) obsessed about ........not sure ....but likes to dig claws in ASADA ...obsessed about .....things that should be right The Law ...obsesses about nothing Footy players ...obsessed with footy AFL obsessed with money

might be just me but is there really a Mitch Clark question ? that being the tenet of this thread . Thought it had been answered

want and matters two different things

do a search...its been revealed here on these boards before that or go have a beer in a few Corio based pubs and ask a few questions

ahhh its a beautiful thing...... the discord that is

agree...this ought to be just what we keep doing....trying to entice good ( really good ) players top the club on a continual basis

disturbing more than depressing ...lol

I like this. Out position probably doesnt accurately reflect our endeavours but DOES represent where we are. Thats the reality. I kinda think as a team we're like the bloke with a bit of a crook back. Finds it hard to get going and for things to come easy. Get him down to the Chiro/Chinese Accupunture-massage bloke and .....click click clunk ...it all falls back into place and we some effort you find youre running around like no tomorrow. we need straightening out and straightening up.. We'll get there now

you know...if we could could knock off North that would be something to go out on...otherwise

Now that would be a very different thing...That I would care about greatly

Macca...i hear you. My stance I suppose in regards to the areas you opine...off field etc . i still dont think any of that will be greatly affected. Maybe if someone seriously targeted a meteoric climb up the ladder this year followed by Silver glory next then they are bound to be despondent but in all reality where we finished was anyones guess. where we're heading is I believe what many will base their faith upon. As such members will still be members , ex members in limbo may or may not rejoin but thats totally upon < i feel , where and the how of our progress going forward. I dont think said progress is necessarily linked to ladder position. many here can see the improvement but acknowledge its not shown as to our position on the ladder. I would think many a person can also see this.. Roos just made public his faith in the club ( I suspect its been there for a while..lol ) and so I would think no such impediment would exist for anyone coming to us for any reason; player, admin, FD or supporter Macca I really dont think it matters....maybe just me

Roos for a 3rd year... ...... .... didnt see that coming !!

I think for a great number here there is some automatic association to 'caring' about a particular finishing position and giving a damn about the clubs progress and its future. I tell you that they need not be so tied together. I look at it in the J curve scenario. We needed to dip even further than we were last year because we needed to reinvent our game. Its taking a while but we're getting there. We can now only progress with more of the right style of players on the list. This too will come as will their development . We can all see these elements in play , we can all see effective advancement its just that the one most important stat , that being the final score doesnt reflect this as yet. So just because i ont really give a rats about finishing last doesnt mean I wouldnt possibly like to see a win or two but is such endeavours are unfulfilled and we slip to last I still dont bloody care as I know we're heading in the right direction. Whether youre pruning roses or having an op to fix a little niggle chances are you will be a lot worse off immediately after taking steps to rectify things than had you done nothing. Thats us. Were taking steps but we're not seeing it on the scoreboard yet. it will come. So for mine this is a Straw construct..last place and not giving a damn about the club. I dont care if we finish last because in reality it means sfa as to where and what we do NEXT season and the one after it etc. But for those that are insistent upon wrist slitting and name calling please continue

they think they are

succint +1

Little is just doing his job as he sees fit. Ironic though that he's done the Faustian deal and We're called the Demons lol

never in doubt was it DC ...seems many dont quite understand Roos speak

Cpl years under Clarko Cpl under Roos Could be a goer. And he might like to coach us...just thinking
