If your name is Rioli

I'm done. We'll get spanked and end the season with a whimper.

I don't buy this. The decision is the right one but it looks poorly handled. They probably misread their ability to get to a flag but in fairness they now realise the longer term is best served by making the hard decision. 2 steps back 3 steps forward. It s never black and white as it were.......

Trenners can and I think will continue to be an amazing story of endurance and resilience. His 'resurrection' will be an inspirational story for our club and our young players for many years.

North has made the announcement that Harvey, Firrito, Dal Santo and Petrie will not be re-contracted for next year. I know its nothing to with the Dees but its interesting nonetheless. Right decision? Ballsy. Good motivation for finals? Yeah right

But he was a premiership player.............

He did say 'early 2nd round' just to be pedantic

He has some limitations but his best footy is pretty good....

Well from the above it would seem that we wouldn't have picked Oliver without Jumping Jeremy leaving......

And we got Oliver........

Dodoro is a dingbat. Want's the world for everybody. Is hopeless at trading. Hibberd will walk. Connors & Taylor will make it happen,

Yes they do. They have a list and all the stats are put up.... There's one here as well... Eligible Rising Star stats A btter list here...http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_rising_stars_round_performances

People hear what they want to hear.....

It's why the award is a joke. The nomination process is flawed. Just have a weekly winner but with everyone eligible to be in the running to win at the end of the year.

That is a pretty supercilious comment. News Flash to know-all: Fairly obvious we should be able to beat the teams below or around us on the ladder.

We haven't beaten Essendon, Carlton or the Saints for two years. These are teams we should be able to beat no matter how you want to dress it up.

This annoys me more than anything. Its obvious early on generally

Oh well that's easily fixed then

This is becoming consistent. Does it represent mental fragility?

Just excuses and poor ones at that

I would have thought its a smart thing to do. In the small chance we do play finals we would have a very strong squad to choose from with a good form line. And we don't know who is carrying injuries or what specific role the incoming players will play. Could be about team balance...

I have high hopes for ANB. Seems to have a good mental attitude, knows where the goals are, can lay a good tackle, has footy smarts and has endurance. I wish him well.

Maybe ANB plays fwd for Garlett. Has good goal sense

I didn't say he had the wriong attitude, muppet. Speaking of bias perhpas you shouldn't introduce your own bias into my comments.

You can if you have the wrong attitude. I'm sure there are plenty that have gone from AA to rubbish in the space of a year....
