I dont think Essenhird will prevail. Middleton has allowed them to progress but I sense thats more as a technicality. I think the actuality of the case is tenuous at best at more likely fluff and bubble. I find it more likely the pundits will front court and find themselves facing a line of canon. WADA waiting to strike.

I disagree rjay. It presumes there are no decent kids up to say pick 25. This is a flat draft by many accounts. Im in building and we would concern ourselves more with getting the house fixed up and right before worrying about extensions etc. If you want the likes of Hogan Salem Mac to stick around get them some good workmanlike team mates. Edit. I will agree that weve made some "wrong" picks and that hasnt helped. Just about every one was considered ELITE..I think

Jack this to me is the error of many a thinking both now and the last 10 years. This myth of needing elite. We struggle to put a decent AFL std team on the park because we dont have enough good meat and potatoes let alone any fillet mignon..Kids wont impact a team tomorrow and thats been our folly. Roos will endeavour to ensure kids spend more time learning their craft not less. Any reliance on kids, no matter how elite , will be less. I hope Roos uses both high picks to bring in some good 'decent' players who WILL lift this club quickly. We will still get some fairly lively picks. History suggests theres as much chance anywhere up to 50...and even then some gems appear late. Lets worry less about the cream and more about whats beneath.

he did a rather long apprenticeship from 2002 before taking the reigns. Ppl think Ling can get there in 2 ?

point is...id think there some very good assistants ready to step up... yeah yeah I know MN etc but if PJ and PR choose wisely then theres a mentorship to bring the coach -elect up to speed

the rest was irrelevant This bit isnt...can he coach? The answer presently must be NO

really....ripped offf. Thats half the fun of Hockey...that and the grannies that want to bash you up etc..lol Maybe that was just Montreal though ...hmmmm

some serious drinking been had I presume

Im with you...guys done nada >he might be fabulous , absolutely so but we all got our knickers in a not when the last bloke turned up and now people are fawning over a ranga with no coaching !! I mean ...really ??

no..you just like synthesizers....please tell me they did the whole cheesy music thing !!!

dunno.... I found them very offensive....to my sensibility !!

He doesnt ....never really has.... Starting to think he never will Just doesnt seem to be in his makeup. Has everything a gun player needs....except......... a desire for man on man contested ball I so want him to step up......but there comes a time...and I think its quickly slipped away.

and hes done what exactly ??

Not far off though I had no expectation of a win mor anything close to it... got exactly what i expected. Well actually though we got let off a bit tttt. Agree it is all down to Roos and Co but the FD need to given them a team they can coach and help. Currently we dont have enough to qualify as having 22 AFL standard ready to go players. Some players have , well not excuses, but mitigation when considering their efforts. A lot dont

who cares...we wont be paying it

just go away if you cant talk civilly....

never in doubt

Yes gave a crack today ( didnt have too many mates ) Give him a full preseason and Im keen to see him at 100% well done PigDog

Im dying to know what positives will be taken out of this game

please siren....come and put us out of our misery......( again )

dont tease me....you sure you can get a whole box ??

We need to seriously field any offers for Watts...... and I mean ANY !!!

Id be drinking heavily too

we have depth

Bunnies in headlights....no confidence or belief.....wheels falling off the wagon
