Rod Grinter Riot Squad

5 even 6 years. Are those posts serious? 3 years should make all parties very happy.

2017 suggests he can 2018 he can’t

Really? Living here, I had never noticed. (Get the sarcasm this time?)

A great alliance for both the club and the NT, long may it continue. Love the way you talk about the “climate” in the NT, because Alice and Darwi; have very similar climates?

Don didn’t play again in the seniors, had a six week ‘suspension’, after a bit of a drunken run in with team officials after the game in Shanghai, where he was the traveling emergency

Haven’t seen her play, but she is a very popular teaches aide at my daughters school, leaves for Melbourne tomorrow, something she is nervous about having always lived here in Alice. Good luck to her, she will be missed by the school up here.

With respect to Jack, it wasn’t his peers that chose him as captain.

We can’t make him defend, no-one can

Menzel is a very smart medium forward who can really hurt teams on the scoreboard, he will get a gig somewhere, that said, not with us. He doesn’t fit with our game style, so would be staggered if we were to recruit him. Neade in the other hand, may be worth considering, but I haven’t seen him enough to have an informed opinion

While I get, understand and agree with most of your post, he was talked up from season one big time as what he did in his first season on the ground put others to shame, he just hasn’t really put the foot down, but if and when he does, he will be a scary opponent to play against

Have seen a Demons members scarf for sale in a department store in Hyderabad, India

Sorry mate, have no recollection of where I read it.

Have read that the Pies were his first choice, but knew the chance of them being able to trade for him was minimal at best, we were his second (and better) choice

Vili’s are better

I want us to draft the best available, highly skilled outside mid who has some toe, right now we have Salem and KK and then the cupboard is bare

It produces sympathy... Things changing, but not that quick

Is this the guy with dreadlocks who completely disappeared in the VFL finals?

Pick 65 is what it is (not 55) and it is not a kick in the teeth, it is a mild bump off the ball, the sort of bump that makes you laugh

Good on him. Love his choice of clothing. Will never forget the looks I got when I rocked up to my graduation at Monash in dirty jeans and an old jumper?

Very true, but those two years would have been invaluable for Hogan’s development, something that shouldn’t be discarded

Do remember, what we remember as Hogan’s first year was actually his third year in the system and in that year, he didn’t perform comparably to how Weid did in some huge games to finish this season. (Don’t get me wrong, I rate Hogan enormously and was gutted when I first thought about him leaving, but I do believe we will be a better team with the inclusion of May)

He won’t be at his peak next year, but he will be an important player

I have said it since before his good games in the finals, but Weid gave a taste of what is to come, the kid is very aggressive in the air, he will kick his fair share of goals, but his competitiveness will lead to many more. Next year will be about development and improvement, but expect to see many and regular glimpses of his potential next year

Not yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up being better.

Think that is exactly what he was saying
