Mate, I think you will find it is only a few posters here who give Brucey a hard time. I have identifed most of them and ignore them; I suggest you do the same.

I don't usually have a go at people's spelling but it's Wonaeamirri.

Too early to say. Trends in this area need to be looked at over about a 5 year period; and that is hard to do as there is usually some change to the conditioning group during that time.

It could be just the rub of the green. I am prepared to cut the guy some slack; he seemed to get some pretty unfair criticism around here when he was appointed.

CJ has better disposal than Buckley. It's no good if you turn it over.

CJ's defensive work is far better than Buckley's. I see Buckley as a centre line player where his pace can be best utilised. I like Wheatley as a winger who can share the kick in duties with CJ.

I voted for the Garland, CJ, Martin, Rivers, Warnock, Whelan combination.

I would really like to see Jace Bode, Issac Weetra have another go. I would like Meesen to see some action too.

So maybe in round 20 we can have a good hard look at them.

Weetra had better start playing for Sandy firsts, first.

I was there with my daughter, my son is OS.

I hate the dump with a passion, but my passion for the dees won.

Ummmmm. Richmond won by 77 points. They did not win by under 39.5points!

Sorry to make you feel that you lost the best. But....well.....YOU LOST YOUR MONEY.

$100 at $2.30 = loss of $100

$100 at $7.30 = profit of $630

Nett profit is $530 as claimed

Are you sure?

What about that match when Leoncelli kicked the winning goal. or was that at football park?

It was against Adelaide at Football Park, I think. Is that what is now called AAMI Stadium?

Is Vic Country's Jordon Roughead (#33, Ruck) Jarryd's brother?

I see our Scolarship player Teddy Strudwick cant even crack the NSW team yet.

I think Jordon is a cousin of Jarryd.

Teddy played last weekend; maybe he picked up a knock.

Bartram has played a practice game but never a representative game.

Didn't Bartram play for Sandy early this year when coming back from injury?

I just wish that all and sundry would stop referring to it as a draw. If it were a draw that would imply some element of chance; there is none.

It is a fixture.

(Mids) We have Jones, Mclean, Valenti (in/under grunt & ball winners), Davey, Buckley(becoming in/outside ball carriers), Morton, Dunn, (recievers & outside collectors).

We need to add a mid with hardness & class in equal measure that can setup plays & or hit targets deep forward by foot.

Don't forget Grimes, and even Petterd.

It was awesome. The way the crowd went up.

Imagine if Aussie had kicked that snap shot. I don't know what would have happened. Would have definitly been the greatest moment of my life lol

I was pretty much in line with Aussie and the goals when he got the ball and knew exactly what he was going to do. The Brisbane supporters around me and I, were confident that he would dob it, he just got the aiming point wrong.

I thought Dunn's greatest contribution came with seconds to go when he was the the player closest to our goal; he was on the defensive side of centre marking the last Brisbane player, I thought it was 30 Copeland, but it may well as been 20 Black. The ball came out and he got in front and got the ball to the onrushing Davey? who gave it to Green ...

What Bailey saw at Mt.Gravatt. Umm Bailey was no where in Coooeee of MtGravatt in QLD. It was Craig Cameron. Miller has been at the club since 2003. Bailey has just arrived!!

What Bailey is doing is teaching the kids how to play, improving their skills, improving the leadership aspects for these kids. Wow, that leadership change has really injected some confidence too.!

C'MON the DEMONS!!!!!!

I think you will find that Bailey was once the coach at Mt. Gravat. This may have coincided with Miller's time there as a junior.

Great quote. Melbourne will have Yze and Neitz off the list at the end of the year. Probably close to a $1 Mil per year, who would you spend that money on, can't see anyone at Melbourne deserving that sort of money. Also add that the commitment to Brisbane for Johnstone finishes this year.

You add White and Bruce's will not demand as much next time their contracts are up, Melbourne have a lot of money to pay for a trade, and under the rules they MUST pay it. And with the likelihood of 1st pick in the PSD, then it is going to be interesting.

Neitz and Yze are on the veterans list and thus only part of their salaries are in the Salary Cap. From memory, half of Neitz's and a quarter, or third of Yze's.

Dno why people want Martin in already? He is not ready.

Martin is very interesting and seems to be a long term lock for a KPB. He is not ready yet, but has done nothing to diminish his standing. I have been wondering how he would fit into the side with Warnock, Garland and Frawley who are/will be KPBs. I consider only Garland to have the capacity to play elsewhere, forward, maybe?

also took some of the kickin's today and was very penetrating....

it is one of the best point kick-in's clinic today!!

persist with Chris, showed something today!!

I must admit I didn't notice who took the kick-ins; I did notice that they were a hell of a lot better this week. In other games I have thought that the opposition would rather kick a point than a goal as they would get 7 points, not 1.

Also the Casey President said there was a long way to go before his club would align with the Dees. He put it at 50/50 at best.

What he actually said was that it is better than 50/50. He also said that he understood why things had gone a bit quiet on the affiliation front with the events of last week, but had been contacted by representatives of the new group.

There is a long way to go, but there is no doubt that Casey's preference is for an affiliation.

It appears that an alignment with Casey Scorpions is by no means a certainty - Scorpions could be a stand-alone club in 2009. Would it be possible for two cstand alone clubs to share the same ground at Casey?

Casey know that we cannot afford to run our own seconds; they know that we must form an alliance. They are just playing hard to get.

liked what I saw of Zomer last week at Sandy.

Yes, he was quite promising, especially early. After half-time the game degenerated into a kick-to-kick between the half-back lines.

Zomer is very raw, but he has the physical attributes; the future is up to him.

There is absolutely no plan and we take so long to bring the ball back in that everyone is manned up and little or no options.We need to bring the ball back in asap like the Bulldogs do,not wait 20 seconds then the ump calls play on.

I remember at least two times when we took quick kick-ins against the filth and the maggots told us to take them again for some unknown reason; perhaps they were just unnerved as they had never seen us do it before.

have we got a 2nds team? i woner if newton is coming back through there?

I don't think the seconds are playing as they played, and beat, the Casey seconds before last week's game against the Filth; the Filth do not have a seconds team.

Also why did Bailey drop Holland he kicked 3 goals or even pick Addam Maric this kid is seriously good.

Maric will be seriosly good, but, if you've seen him in the flesh now, and you think that he is ready for AFL, then you must think that Cale Morton is built like Captain Beefcake. He needs a couple of pre-seasons.
