Good point. They haven't challenged the notices.

Thx for the update. I don't remmeber what mrs stretch was like as a player......

I think Roos put the acid on a few in the second half of the season and they played like they were too scared to do anything wring. A bit like under Neeld. he gave them hugs early on but I think his demeanor changed markedly wit the players. Roos clearly has more currency but he found out a lot in the second half about who could and couldn't play his way. PLayers like Kent had something like 16 tackles for the whole year. You'd expect that to be rammed down his throat that he can't just be a one way player. Others would have had similar messages and may not have played with the freedom they had in the first half.. So IMO 2015 is an important year for whether the players will heed the message and we improve on tsoppages, tacking, two way running etc. Not sure itsthe be all and end all as King alludes to. Will be interesting to watch in 2015 thats for sure.

That;s my understanding. An off the shelf energy drink on game day. Its OK on other days but not the day of the game apparently.

??Saad consumed the product on game day. The Ess players didn't import Thymosin. Not sure of your point?

I so hope you are right...

If he can hit a target he is well ahead of at least 15 of our players.

How exactly are they talking up this guy so much? They are passing comment on who the top 4 are likely to be. IN Mahoney's case he responded to the question with 'they'll be right up there' or thereabouts. They are all obvious candidates. Clearly we have 2&3 so its only the Saints that can foil anything we want. And if we were looking to pick someone out of the popular 4 do you think they would be telegraphing that?

Don't understand why the players names aren't public now either. Joke

Just like Daniel Rich....

its happened before, 2003!!!

Surely these names are now all public? Why would Ess players not be names when every other athlete in the world are named. And WhereTF are Worksafe Victoria?

Not how I remember it. I am Mortons biggest critic but he played pretty well that day.

I said at the time GWS were p ricks throwing bombs at the last minute with no intention or chance of getting a trade done. They simply wanted to divert everyone's attention for 2015 from the fact the whole comp will be coming after their players. I hope they die on the vine that stinking rotten carcass of a team.

Exactly none.

Hird has to stand down now. Surely.

Reid should begone was can agree.. Can't agree with the Thompson love though, You would have to connect the dots and say that the weapon was at Ess as a result of Bomba being there. He essentially brought him from Geelong raising the obvious questions about the regime at Geelong.

Agree big time...

yay!

So Wona, Jurrah and Dom Barry have all walked out on the club. Reportedly all to head back to their homeland and re-connect with their communities. The reasonable question is why? Is it cultural issues, work load or commitment or all three? Or the MFC? Whatever the reason you would think that is going to make recruiting of indigenous players a lot more difficult.

Is their 10 days to appeal up?

It could be career defining but its interesting isn't it. The recruiters get no plaudits if they do well with pick 2 or 3 but it if they stuff it up the world knows about it. They mostly go for safety with the low picks - a bit like buying an IBM

Remember Roos saying he saw Freo's mids and how they were all tall big bodied (maybe not Fyffe) and how that was the new prototype. I suspect he is heading down that path.

Nah I called Salem early. He's hard at it and can kick. You only have to look at ROos' track record picking players.

I can't wait until Nov 27. Only 17 more sleeps......
