Demon Disciple

Has gone MIA this year. Not one who you could count on to turn the ship around when it goes pear shaped.

I'd be happy to give up our first rounder (even if it is Anderson) for him. He's a kid who is displaying unbelievable potential. We shouldn't kid ourselves, Hogan out was a massive blow. King in would go a long way to alleviating that (even if he takes a few more years to really get going).

That and they are riding a huge wave of momentum and emotion. We had it late last year, but when the whips are cracking, i'd be interested to see how they go come September. They are very young (not a bad thing), and i feel that given their immaturity, many will be mentally exhausted prior to the big stuff as a result of overthinking it before it actually happens.

Yep. For all the good they did, they both left too soon. Even they would've known that 3/4 years is not nearly enough to properly impact cultural change. Both needed to stay for at least twice as long.

Yes they were good times indeed. It has been a pathetic and woeful year, but those 2 finals were fantastic to attend (still get goosebumps thinking about them). Should we eventually win another bloody flag, my hunger will be well satiated and my appetite might then wane. But until then, i remain as hungry, deluded and committed to this wretched club as ever. It's abusive, it's not fair and it's causing irreparable harm that will one day require pharmacological and psychological assistance. I just can't help it. I really do loathe this club at times, but i will always love it more. I'm too far in to back out now. When all others leave......we remain!

If Brown was to come to us, i'd be gravely concerned with his level of intelligence.

& Tiges

Having another good game tonight.

Come on Rusty, there's no way our player's will go that hard at the end.

In that particular order SONS?

Umm yeah. I thought we were all masochists here!

i know that people in glass houses....................... but it could be worse. We could have Tex as our captain.

Wouldn't that be Mahoney's responsibility as GM of football?

Who scares, the most important thing would be that Goody ain't in charge no more.

Needs to get way fitter over pre-season. That 2013 trade for him and Tyson has turned out to be a master stroke by Roos.

Exactly Kent. Why are we waiting for the middle of next year? Do it now.

Much safer

Jones should be retired, Viney needs to relinquish the captaincy and be told that he will not play unless he is declared 100% fit by a doctor and not himself.

I was about to say DZ, why on earth would he want to come to this rabble?

Bye Bye Goodwin

Not under Goodwin he won't be. He'll drain all the natural talent out of him inside of 12 months. I just hope that come December, Anderson is at the MFC and Goodwin isn't.

I'm not too concerned with Pert as CEO at the moment. Goodwin's extension was ratified by the board more than him. I'd be asking the question to Bartlett and his board first. The Casey re-development is long overdue, which has happened under his watch. And i wait to see what he has up his sleeve for our base in Melbourne. The blame lies solely with the FD.

Yep, looked like he wanted to actually be out there tonight. More than you could say for at least half the team tonight.

Yeah umm, won't happen if GC get a PP before the first round. Until we're told it isn't so, i would be holding off popping the champagne just yet Dazz.

We passed that long ago
