We cannot afford every uncooked star. We need some maturity that is cooked, that's still resting. prior to dinner. This sort of mature talent helps guide us and maintains some cap space for the the near future for those who become available. We DO NOT want to lockup all our finances on one or two players,,, who may, or may-not be worthy.

so lets get him.

didn't Murphy commit to the blues? ooh, disagree Werri. Why do you say that? I'd prefer Hannebury,,, unless you know something I don't?

a wee but tall, to become a dangerous rover.

We do, we certainly do.

or simply change the title.

... not before the bye, we want a bye after our NT game. July is my bet.

Hannebury... wow wowee OK, maybe Sloane isn't avail to us? If we can get Hannebury, and get him right, he'll be better than that other 'bury'. P'''bury

I think they're in a position to have to trade unhappy players,,,, for some 'mature leaders', and other mature GOF's... They need leaders, like we need pace. What they'd give for a Nathan Jones up there. They need leaders... quality.

no problem with Gaff finding the ball, or his gut run... as I said, I like the boy. I'm just not hooked on him BUT I think he may be too expensive, for watt he deelivers. I think the thing we really need is more speed and x-factor, amongst our mids. I think If we have Gaff, either ANB or Harmes goes. and certainly Tyson cannot be in a team with these guys, and Gaff. As far as gut run goes, these guys plus others we are developing, will cover the ground.

No, but I do not FEEL the connection with paper letter writing, It bores me, it leaves me cold, and so have no interest in it. Also I have no faith in those who are at the top table; making the dee-cisions. Present board accepted; to this point. I much prefer talking to the masses, and the ordinary folk.... and not the 'politically correct',,, 'stinkers and movers'_ Ha !

Don't need to, they all read the forums. And since I'm not an office worker, and have a distaste of formalities, and writing and text. Its not my way. Trust me the word gets back. Haven't you noticed,,,, the welcome game, and many other things, are all born from ideas on forums.

That is all good and I agrree with sentiment BUT, this is not the best place to Grow this club. This whole exercise is nothing to do with History,,, and is meant to be all about growing the club again. Yarra Park Nth, is too far off the track, for daily punters. Revenue going to waste, leaving from Richmond Station. .

Its a recipe for developing the club from where we've come from, to where we are now. I don't know about your personal development thingy, but I do know something about the rebuilding of a list. And the culture of.

Everything in time RL. There is an smart order for things to happen, starting at station 1/ with the culture, and the physicality of the team ethos. Once that gets rolling and entrenched as a proud model, then move into next phase. If not, the old weak ways will still survive in the club. It's sort of like the finer skills come last, in building the temple. A topping off sort of stuff;,, and these finer skilled types have to be made to really earn their spots the hard way, so we do not forego the new physical culture.

Of course they are, watts your point. DeGoey is a Mid and H/Fwrd with speed and X factor. Even if re-contracted he is the type we're lacking. Gaff is a distance runner who finds space and time, which allows him to be able to kick. But he won't find that same space as often, in big finals games. DeGoey doesn't require much time or space to be damaging. This is why he is more dynamic.

It's not your glasses, OD. its your mind. You can only see what is before you, as in the past few seconds. Instead of being able to see what he's develop into,,, and the little progresses going on.. the finer points. You seem to have to be slapped with a wet fish, before you can see what it was. Now not all players continue to develop but this kid is just starting to because of his body well being, and size. And his age maturity amongst the big guys.

Apparently May hasn't decided yet, since its early July. I would say the Clarko is into him.

I sense we are more strongly committed to the game effort, when we feel our backs are to the wall. (subconsciously) When we start to feel more comfortable in our-selves and team, WE the Mfc (players and all,,, supporters as well) seem to lose some intensity and fire in the belly,,, and we feel the pressure when we're suddenly the hunted. Then we as a club, switch like a light-switch,,, into Victim mode. The atmosphere changes from being one of feisty-hunger, into an atmosphere of fear/anxiety and defensiveness. And we go into a negative mentality... Or reverse if you prefer. This mood swing is as bi-polar as Red and Blue are. It happens so often, that its normal for Mfc.

We do need more endurance Wtm... BUT we NEED pace much much more. We have too many one paced types throughout... we need 2 or 3, quicker than one paced players, in our 22. Gaff as another endurance player, is way too expensive, just for the elite endurance. I would clearly have DeGoey ahead of a Gaff. We don't need the fastest and 2nd fastest players in the comp.... but we do need a few quick players, that have breakaway tow. more than anything else. And I do not subscribe to one dimensional quick's, like jeffy. They MUST be able to roll up the sleeves and dive under packs with a smile,,, as well as be a goer on the outside, when they're in that position.

We win in the Alice as well.

No we don't. We lack running mids who go. we lack pace and foot skills. But we do not want or need pure outsiders. see garlett.

Tyson, similar to or more than watts. Kent 3rd Rndr? Garlett 3rd Rndr?

apparently, He wants to be a Millionaire? who's in the 'Millionaire hot Seat' ?
