Ouch. Sauce with tha humble pie.....? I tell you what I am over. I am over 'experts' writing off our young players. get behind them and support them. Yes we can be critical but in a measured and sensible way. They are learning the game and will make mistakes.

Good pcik up. Interesting though that he identifies with being a "NSW boy" "Being a NSW boy I didn't have too much exposure to Melbourne footy club last year but since I have been here the coaches are adamant in what they want to get across and how they are going to do it and how we are going to play and we did that tonight that win was massive for Melbourne, massive.

Isn't he from Tathra in NSW? http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/melbourne-demons-pick-ainslies-aaron-vandenberg-in-afl-rookie-draft-20141203-11z2vc.html

No. You can have it cold.

And Ross left the Saints in tatters so there is a fair chance he will have not managed the list properly again...

Well prior to the game he had not been beaten in a one on one this year nor had a goal kicked on him. He is in the reigning AA team. Its a fair scalp for a three gamer.

Carey kicked 0, 38 and 28 in his first three years. 1.69 goals a game.

The ignore function works really well EXCEPT when you respond to his posts and it comes up in my feed.

FInally drafting some 'footballers' about time.... And I think he came from Tathra originally...

They are not racehorses or greyhounds you know....

Hardly. Stef Martin, Nik Nat and plenty others didn't start until a late age - 17or 18 I believe....

Better that the new recruits learn from the word go that the big time is not an easy ride and that if they want to make it they have to put in. I assume that was what the session was about adn if so I am stoked. No automatic selections, you're all players - doesn't matter what number you were drafted, the hard work starts now. That is a big change from a few years ago.

I agree. Its hard to judge a player from a video but I don't get the love for him. I would be surprised if we take him,

A day without sun is like.....night.

[censored]'s doing well at GWS isn't he?

We can't afford to throw away picks on players on a whim. Every year these threads are loaded with 'Why didn't we take xyz, he would walk into our best 22' .... 'Doesn't matter cos they wont play anyway' is a flippant thing to say in our position. I want 38 guys that are going to bleed for us, push like hell to get selected, keep pressure on everyone above them and train like their life depended on it. I am wondering if Roos has been hiding him in the hope of us getting him.

Am I missing something here? We are thinking of recruiting Paul Roos' son? Haven't seen anything written about him before this thread. Why are we considering him? Because he is the son of Paul Roos? Or can he play footy? I am quite disturbed by this. We need the best available footballer. If that's him great. But he is not a Jack Viney that has been in people's calculations for a number of years. (And yes I know TR is not a father/son pick).

Gysberts....

No its not. You want to play in our comp that's the deal. Just like the drugs code you sign up to. If you don't want to play, fine. Go somewhere else. God help us if we end up like the EPL.

LOL two turnovers and one out on the full in the first 1:42 .... He'd fit in beautifully.

We'll get pole-axed by WCE this week and by Norf the week after. 8% at least. The spoon is ours. Lock it in.

...without ever having seen Tyson play!

He certainly had a good year in 2010. The rest I will leave alone.

Oh yeah the guy who signed a fouryear deal and then faded away...
