  1. Sloane at 28, could be a 4 YR option, with big pay years front & back ended, the end of this year may well see a senior player or 2 finish up. IF Lew finished in 2018, and continued at Casey as a player and assistant he would be off our salary cap.others like Bern might be on a very diminshed contract if he continued. Not doubt other contracts will be getting negotiated by 1/3 into season. We surely could do some juggling in time-frames on contracts, to work the Sloane big years into the balance of figures, to make it all work out. His run and mobility is just what we really need mostly.
  2. Maybe this is where lever comes into it? To help formation, covering & reading play?
  3. the yarra ranger we need a mover with a slown hand, we want a rover with an easy touch. I want somebody who can runaround, not com'on & blowup in a reddish blush, I want somebody who understands, when it comes a winnin', wanna slown hand.
  4. I don't mind that, if we go small up front. If Petracca was in a Giles mold, then we could fit ANB on the f/flank. Hogan rotating, R/R & CHF with Petracca.

    Also troublesome in packs, around wandering boots. But is it the toe, or an ankle? These days with so much mis-information, its really hard to know what the truth is. But the reality is, its really tough to ruck with buggered feet. And to play CHF. Imperative we don't take risks before the season even starts. You can play with a cracked rib. You can play with a crack in the jaw. But try to run and jump in a game, with only one good foot, let alone having to kick on the run.

    sorry, no i didn't get it.

    Only a toe, kept Frost out for around 6 months. It troubled him for more than 12 months. Conservative with injuries especially early season is crucial. We can take risks if need be later in the season IF we are desperate. I would rather have Tmc cheery ripe, before he comes into the side. I don't want him tormented by this injury, all through the season. Viney came back too soon last year, didn't end well. Gawn came back too soon last year, didn't end well. Watts came back under rehabbed last year, stuffed our season. Didn't end well. Its no surprise that our momentum went into a downward spiral, when these players started to return to the team, all too soon. 2017 didn't end well for the Mfc.

    I would definately leave TMc out for this one. One more week to get right. Please Mfc. Don't risk him in Rnd-1. We have plenty who can fulfill the role for one game.

    I imagine its only a bit of bone bruising. They're protecting him from further knocks to that area, until game day. IMO, consider him a Lock!

    Hey Cassiew. If THEY want to make a retro jumper for fans to buy and wear. Why not something along these lines. Maybe some 'slight' adjustment, to the colours, but only slight. So a lace up Jumper to wear to warm games,,, and also in a Vest form to wear over other clothing and under that plaid jacket. Reversible clothing, dress down on one side, & dress up a little on the other side with pull up collar.

    The old jumpers around 60's, were very dark blue, in photos.

    collingwood? just reverse their colours. Lets just not do the clash jumper thing.
  13. DV8 replied to Chelly's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Take the extra week & play Pedo with Hoges. I hope they do not play him TMc, just for Rnd1 gate attendance/memberships. Its the business end, that we want to be full strength, & bitter.
  14. DV8 replied to Chelly's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    turf toe? we need TMc right for sharing ruck duties. I would rather sacrifice the first couple of games if need be, to get them tight & come home strong & fit. We have Pedo, we have Frosty. We can cover for Viney for a couple of games, so they are not carrying serious niggles right thru the season. Better have them just right for mid season,,, that entering this season NQR.

    If we have to have a clash jumper it should be something alike this one. PS: the 'iSelect' banner is clashing with GWS jumper.
  16. frawley howe dunn watts martin clarke etc etc. All have left the Mfc, after their golden handshakes & long service holidays. We seem to get the timing wrong. The holidays seem to be taken, prior to retiring from the club.

  18. FishC beautiful neck of the woods, gateway to the Prom. And Foster down the hill. Nearly always lush & green, & people always wearing smiles.
  19. Nah we want a pound of flesh, that we're paying for. I wonder if they'll play him back, doing the kickins. Maybe he could just be a kicker, in the Sanfl.
  20. Yeah, best player ever, out on the traps, on the night clubbing scene. Best, since lucas cook played butter boy. Willy, make us all pay. Jack already is, we are paying to free him, from the confines of our poor list.
  21. Along with tricky nixen & a bunch of school leavers. Partying into the wee hours.
  22. What, do you think we'd get a better player at Pick 16 next year, compared to what we would get at Pick 10 this 2017 draft? I don't think so.
  23. I reckon that the Power will be the next SA premier team. Sometime in the next 15 Years. I just cannot see the Crows calling anything much at all in the next little while, after their pizzy little tanties. They need a dose of instant concrete, to settle that nerve condition they have over there. I have a vision of 'the tail', wagging away all on its own.
  24. Peanuts hey. No wonder they lost the Grand Final, they must be all monkeys. They say, you get what you pay for.
  25. Yes, at the Blues. He can then be the chocolate atop the froth & bubbles, on they're cappuccino's.
