The culture angle meets a lot of resistance from within;,,, against any change from outsiders and newbies. That is the difficulty at Melbourne, when the soft resets. McCartney would have challenged this resistance, and he did trade out some old talented players to help shift the resistance,,, no doubt. Naturally there would be some disharmony, in doing this resetting of culture, and values. Players don't like being made to work harder than they've been used to, and to be more professional, and more dedicated. No doubt Macca helped to setup the premiership which Bevo made, with the Doggies.

Should have been North, your right, but isn't... they will surely end up in Tassie. And the choice isn't mine, it would obviously be the Suns, Nathan and families, the AFL's,,, & then Mfc's. The Upside for Mfc, is we get a Key defender in his prime, to Aid us out our self-imposed 50 Yr hell-hole. You want to be ruthless or not SWYL, or is that pretence.

Hodge has, Mitchell did, and there will be more to do it. Nathan will get more years in the game doing something really important for our game. I'm sure his family would cope really well. with winters up there. As would Nathan, i'm sure, and I think being close to the surf would help Nathans aging body recover from any soreness as he ages further. Extending his career. Don't let your hostility get in the way of your thinking dd36. And the loyal servant would being serving the game he loves. He has 2 years left within our team, at lesser money. Before its all over. He will get an extra year or two up in QLD in the warm climes, on big money. .

No, sorry... I don't watch other clubs these days, as I struggle to even watch our games in a sitting. I watched the Storm Friday night. Watched us Satdy night. I don't like the congestion and the commentary. Most of the presentation in the box. The Ex players are killing the TV Product. Its too in your face,,, and too Figjam on the commentary bench. .

* To help the AFL and Footy,,, in the biggest Job within the AFL, at this time. * For a huge payday for his family * To get the chance to finally share AFL games with his young Bro. * To get to surf more readily in warmer climate for a few years whilst he does some really important work for the game, and the pleasure he will receive with the growth up there. * He gets to really set his family up with the remuneration AFL guaranteed, with him leading that club back up. * To stamp his imprint into the culture of the new and struggling club. * And to get the forever gratitude from the AFL itself, for his remaining days on this planet. * Potential to enhance a possible media career, after his playing days with 2 clubs... the oldest and youngest.

The choice would be with Nathan, and his family... PD. There is none of your hate PD. you are the one holding hate in your absenteeism. And don't bother coming out of your hole to UN-ignore. It's been a pleasure not reading you til now, with you in there. Try looking in a mirror, if you think of your last statements. seeya.

Ok, you can't see it. each to their own.

Your very short sighted Mickey. NJones is perfect for the role as the reasons stated. His Discipline crucial. Dew is there now as coach. Swans disciplines. Zac Jones would be there in support of his brother,, helping nJ change the culture at ground level. While Dewy does his thing from above the List.

Nathan Jones is the best option in the League having been there done that, as a leader. He is slowing, but his leadership is perfect for that specific job... the biggest job in AFL right now. He has seen all the methods of trying to build, and rebuild... the failures and the correct path. He has the stern mind and the steely Look. His discipline is 2nd to no other. And I think he would love the Lifestyle up there for a few years. This would be a Ma$$ive Pay Day for nJones, if offered this Job. And would guarantee him a huge place in AFL history, for taking the role on. $M2.25 over 3Yrs ??? His brother would get to play alongside Nathan, and could possibly take the leadership, following. Jones'y would help us get May into the club, and possible an early 1st Rnd pick,,, with us adding others onto the deal, to help set them onto an even Keel. We are blessed for mature heads and hard honest workers on our list... this is what the Gold Coast lacks_ 'Real Honesty', and 'Real Commitment'. Lets get it done Melbourne and AFL. .

I would be looking at trading to the Gold Coast, for May. OMc and Jones. I love my club; and also I really want the 2nd Qld team to succeed. GCS For them the Key is real tough Love, with the right disciplined leaders. To set them up the right way_ Enter Nathan Jones... And Zac Jones, from the Swans. We have a few possibilities as trade options, from -> OMc, Tyson, Hunt, AVB, Wagner, Kent, Bugg, JKH, Keilty,

The other one I think might be more important than Gaff, is Steven May. We cannot be sure that Lever won't breakdown again. Like the Ox did. We need to cover off this area. I'd be spending my money this year on May. With accompanying trades.

Yep, save our pennies for real talent, and go hard.

or Lachie Whitfield... even moreso.

Look at the mess the players were are over there; so self centred. And some want to point the finger at McCartney... seriously, I know who I trust Re their judgement. And so say the former Geelong stars who wanted to go to work with Brendon. Maybe this was a club culture issue more, than anything?

We could do much worse with Harry in rednblue, just like we have done with Lewy. But I doubt Harry would want a part time playing gig.

2 knee reco's already, in under 22 yrs. Lets not put all our eggs in that basket, justin case. We need another stop-gap key back. No saying what will be for Petty, Keilty, or Lever for that mater.

He's a bit similar to Hunt, taking off fast and furious, and leaving their heads back in defence. composure required, bigtime.

2017 - Jack Higgins 2018 - ???? ? oh, you mean May?

Well, his mentor & referee, was Malthouse. Who else would he trust for sharing AFL ideas? Or was there an Inn-House operative?

I think he 'Tyson' lacks 'the vision', that Oliver has. Oliver seems to have great spacial perception... in that he knows where players are prior to bounce. a sort of photo-graphic memory of the area, immediately prior to taking the ball. You need this when driving fast in heavy traffic... to reinforce your judgement/perception. Without it, all confidence goes down the drain when under pressure. He is another who should take up juggling. And master it... and then in the dark, or dimly lit room. The idea is to be able to focus on an object whilst moving thru traffic, or chairs... to sort of, devide the spacial perception... to be able to focus on the ball, whilst another part of the brain focus's away from the ball, on other objects about. - - - - - - - - but this won't help his work-rate or running abilities.

I would think so; Tyson seems to need the game played in slow motion these days, for him to get the ball away.

Are the eagles trying to push Gaff out ? You'd think they would be wanting stars to stay on... Would have thought. .

Different weather conditions effect people in different ways... I cannot stand warmth with high humidity;,, it causes me to sweat, and I get irritated with discomfort. However I can tolerate 49 degrees without freaking out. I don't like it but can manage apart from sleeping. I would take the 49 degrees dry heat,,,, over 26 degrees and high humidity any day. I'm a cold weather person, preferring temperatures around 15 - 24 degrees as my ideal. So I'm NOT any sort of reptilian in habits.
