Demon Disciple

Given that it was The Australian that broke the story and everyone else was left playing catch-up, it's not a stretch to think that some media pundits will have to make some bs outlandish claims to come out of it looking ok (as opposed to sitting on their arses without a [censored] clue).

If it's got AFL backing, if [censored] hits the fan, at least we know they'd help us out. No we aren't a 'big club' nor will we ever be, but with a membership nearing 44,000 and heaps of development left in us, becoming a bigger club financially has to be a non-negotiable. Pert has shown in previous roles he is up to the challenge and isn't daunted by taking on a 'big task'. Has my approval until he [censored] up. Which hopefully won't occur.

So long as all 3 stay on, then we'll continue to have a strong off-field team in place.

........................or desks.................................or loans from the club.

We won't know if this will be a successful appointment for a few years yet, however, i much prefer a CEO with AFL experience as opposed to the likes of Paul McNamee/Tracy Gaudry coming from other sporting fields. Approved by the AFL (which is still unfortunately a necessary tick), approved by the board and the stand-out candidate in a field of 5, of which PJ would have had the biggest say. Comfortable with this decision, and what's more, it keeps Mahoney firing in his current role as Footy GM (another big tick).

I think we have more important things to worry about at MFC headquarters, than the current circumstances surrounding Watts.

It's looking pretty nice at his current club too Rock.

Is a wonderful representation of how good us smaller folk can be (You 6Ft+ giants have had it good for far too long)

North are desperate to catch anything. They have been fishing for so long, they don't care if they reel in seaweed.

would never trade a KPF (a young one at that) in the hope of bringing in a mid. Better to go like for like. Out - Tyson, In - Gaff. List is a lot more balanced doing this. PS. All recent trades we have done with the filth has resulted in us getting the raw end of the stick. They can GAGF AFAIC.

No that thing was a Tigers fan.

He's trying to increase the $$ in his next contract. Understandable, given his asking price would be pretty low at the moment.

He came on board in January 2013, so i guess it would've been the 2013 draft.

let's worry about our own signings before we got out and try and lure outside talent.

that should be sehr gut bub

You can be consistently out of form though........can't you?

Frost is making him look like a [censored] superstar

Upgrade at Casey Fields

He's still eligible for the Brownlow right?

We'll need to do the Hawks next week too to hit 45k.

Well there is a position there for him if he wants it. Thought Hogan was half decent when he went into the middle, he just creates such a huge hole in the forward line when it happens though. TMAC out for a while, time for Sam to step up, even if he is carrying a little niggle. Be the dictator, not the dictated.

Careful deeko, too much logic in those sentiments.

Only been on the list for 2 years olisik. He was drafted with Clarry. Throw in that he was MIA in his draft year due to injury and it doesn't surprise me that he is behind Curnow in terms of development at the moment. Curnow has a much more athletic build, Weids still needs to drop some more puppy fat and build up his muscle/strength along with his tank. They can't all be Hogan/Hawkins types where they come in and dominate from day dot. As pointed out earlier, Curnow's best return up until tonight was 2 goals. Weids achieved this in his very first outing. He is tracking fine. As the Viney experiment has shown, it's much better to bring him in when he and his body are ready for the rigours of AFL.

Careful Spence, too much logic in your questioning.
