Demon Disciple

This kids upside is huge. Given that he wasn't in the representative system (U18's - Vic Country program) and was a late comer to the TAC program, his scope for continual improvement as he gets used to the full on footy environment is mighty tantalising. As he improves on his fitness and tank, his impact on the contest will continue to improve (staggering for a kid who gathered 36 possessions in just his 14th AFL game).

Was that talent spotter BP?

Maybe Chris Judd. Bodes well for us!

Last year and the year before.

Back to Back?

Silly boy, he doesn't wear a mouthguard (going by the article)

Hate the EFC with a passion. They got what they deserved. But the head honchos at AFL headquarters are as corrupt as FIFA under Blatter. Would not trust Gil for a second. I would love to see that he gets what's coming to him too. What's worse, is that the fat one has been able to wipe his hands and break away from all this cleanly. Him and Gil can be cell buddies for corruption and perverting the course of justice.

Very succinct FG, and very accurate too. This alone should be enough to take away the Brownlow.

He can bring his mate Tim Smith with him!

I'd rather give them this year's 2nd round pick, next year's draft is meant to be superior to this year's.

Both. I'd say that he will play as that sweeping player across the pack when the ball comes inside defensive 50, then run and kick the ball off half-back.

Wiz has also stated on a couple of occasions that he would rather see his boys line up for Melbourne too, so there's always hope!

Have you looked at the kids selected from pick 30 onwards (would've been our pick in last years draft, instead of Melksham). I'm happy with Melksham, as opposed to whoever else would've been available at that pick.

Happens to the best of us Hem

Spencer is not a list-clogger atm. He can't be, purely for the fact that throughout this year, he was the only other pure ruckman on our entire list. He was not preventing/clogging any other ruck the opportunity of playing. Now if we were to bring in a 2nd ruck this off-season, Spencer would become a list-clogger, if his presence was preventing that potential 2nd ruckman from playing games.

Yep. I love how the Scum are trying to entice O'Meara into the PSD and get him for nothing, yet when the shoe is on the other foot (Hibberd going through Grievance Tribunal), listen to how much they b*itch and moan.

Ross Lyon is a list destroyer. He plays his favourites and gets the best out of them, to the detriment of the other listed players' generally not in the starting 22. He did it at the Saints, he is now doing it at the Dockers.

His kicking is absolutely lethal and it sticks out like a sore thumb (given the disposal of our other backmen). However, Salem has failed to show enough hunger and desperation for the ball for mine. He is valuable to our side no doubt, but he is not indispensable for the right offer.

if Wagner is upgraded, then we only need 2 'live' picks

Off the Rookie List, i'd de-list Michie (maybe get him to sign up with the Scorps, as he does excel at VFL level) Off the main list (whether or not they are contracted or not) those first to make way would be (in no particular order): Dawes, Lumumba, Dunn, Newton, Garland, Grimes, M. Jones and Terlich. There is still many on the list who need to go, if we are to continue to improve. Almost a quarter of the list is still what i would deem as not up to AFL standard. Prior to Roos, it would've been close to only a quarter that was, so Roosy's tenure has seen an improvement to 50% of our overall list. Quite a dramatic improvement in the space of only 3 years.

Wrong Wise, he'll be the big KPD we bring in to help McDonald out next year!

Maybe a return to the playing field? He could help give McDonald a chop out.

A huge GOT & Tyrion fan here. Got all 5 seasons on dvd. The series has slowed down somewhat, which isn't surprising given how fast it jumped out of the gates! Have gained access to watching season 6, and watched all 6 episodes back-to-back. The Red Woman.........HURLY BURLY!!!!! Rejecting her?!?!?! You know nothing John Snow

It's going to be very interesting to see if anyone is willing to fly the flag in his absence. We may very well go 0-4 in our next 4 games. Who in our team is willing to stand up over the next month?
