Nut...going to the OP...the whole f'n thing is beyond bizarre. How anyone can fathom it would be business as usual at 5 min to Armageddon( Messendon's ) has got me stuffed !! There must be some form of embargo in place as to reporting on this but how EVERYONE is abiding by it is a mystery. I still dont quite get why the 'leaks' suggest only 12-13 are to receive infraction notices when apparently only a handful opted out of the whole program and even with mitigation the min currently is 6 months . I dont get it. Surely it isnt the thinking of the competition that ignoring it makes it moot !!

Thats the thing.. Most folk arent aware but even those u beaut figures as to bandwidth provision are notionally based on the average back to the node. Get the other 3 or 7 ( depends ) deciding to get jiggy jiggy with use , yours takes a dive , irrespective of the advertised. Same shlt happens as DC suggests on farms. All it takes is for some one new to be busy in a timeslot or someones business to be based around a specific locale or event and you suffer. The ISP will have an out clause somewhere on page 17 in 5 point font in grey explaining it all anyways you guys do a great job and provide a wonderful service. Im sure you'll have it in hand and we're all right behind you !!!

where ( general locale ) is the server. Sitting on a decent pipe or just part of a 'affordable ' farm ? just asking

Go sit in the naughty corner....with the hat...off you go

Ist round ? never.. 2nd rounder ..highly doubtful ...they will most likely offer their 3rd ...and we can trump that.. imho

slow as a snail currently

id have thought a pick in the range high 30's to mid 40's would do it. Strangely unlike many I think Sylvias pick will be around 34/35/36 depending on others compos so this might suffice

He has come a way OD ( et others ) but I just dont see quite in him whats needed, in view of our real needs ( but they its only my view ) He tries but.. I fancy Gawn more as our prime rucking prospect going forward. If Jolly comes on board id retain Russian( as insurance, no high trade value ) and expedite the development of Max in the ruck I'd test the market now for Spencil's value . Feel he would do better as 2nd banana say at the giants Nothing personal..just pragmatism
-
i concur.. I do however understand OD's position though; its hard to keep getting up off the floor ..lol its only October....can be a little optimistic
-
I agree, should have struck a deal years ago. Now I understand What you're trying to say to me and how we suffered for his vanity and how tried to get him to play to ability they would not listen they did not know how perhaps they'll listen now

Sydney Swans offer Franklin $7 million
beelzebub replied to Gippsland Dee's topic in Melbourne Demons
I did...was OK...a bit fluffy but he does quite eloquently put it all together as to why there are dangerous elements to how the COLA influence distorts the original motives and hopes of FA etc. Many could do worse than just forget who wrote this and just read it. -
would be a better cultural , let alone , pricey get than Shaw also
-
he just likes our tie then I gather
-
Christ ....we're going to need to hire a bus to pick up all the players everyone wants !!
-
Maybe not the why of his getting out but possibly oiled the way sts. He may see us as an opportunity to create ROOS-world ver 2.0 ( improved )
-
Im sure will get one or two such ...for sure Even if they only have 2-3 seasons in them that will act as an on filed mentor and protection to the up-comers. Give nugget a breather and cut a path for Viney to run rampant and some air for Toump to grow in. Sylvia actually did NONE of this..he was just a bigger bodied more senior player , more in name than game.
-
has a year to run . I think theyll just leave it there.
-
the first thought that came to my mind here was I really want to be that team that is unloading Varcoe..... and not the one thinking of taking him !!
-
You know...id still pick Dew ( today ) ahead of Pedo !!
-
I tell you why the timing's perfect, for mine. Sylvia represented the last ( or very near to ) of a toxic lot. Roos is coming here to bring his version of a culture. its a proven quality. it will be a lot easier to implement without the Sylvia's contaminating things. Ive nothing against a bit of joking, or a bit of a larrikin, but we just dont need underachieving party boys. Simple as. Whatever time effort and resources Roos may have directed Col's way will now be deployed towards others and Ive no doubt reap higher rewards

So, where to from here with pick 2?
beelzebub replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
i think youre very much on the money here. We ( as club's supporters ) often develop what I can only akin to some form of Stockholm syndrome whereby affection and support is showered upon those that wear the jumper often without the recipients being justly deserved of such fawning. its a desperation for anything resembling success that the thought of losing anyone...ANYONE becomes too painful. Its really a condition bordering on the ridiculous. I candidly confess to sitting at the opposite end of the table whereby all players are effectively widgets in the great scheme of things and i attach no real affection or need for them. They simply represent the club of my choice and I only wish the best set of players to do so. I acknowledge its all too easy to develop a fondness for the y way certain types play and go about their craft. Youre right RPFC .If Chip ups and leaves...so be it...get another and so on and so on. Hawthorn arent going to sook and sulk because Buddy left, theyll double their efforts to win the next game. So must we. We arent going to get it all right every time. Who does. But you cant not do things for fear it might go arrse-up etc. The successful fail all the time.They just succeed more often and bigger than they lose. Thats all. Some folk seem to want of some mythical 'perfect Melbourne team' it wont happen. Football is organic. we need to keep moving towards it but not be affraid to chop and change and seize opportunities. Sometimes there is a trade off cost. So be it and bring it on Go Dees -

The offers become starting points. If something piques our interest we progress from there. All else fails we snag a kid. Not EOW really is it
