Absolutely. We have to let Goody set his plans & getting Scotty Thompson back in, a very professional footballer, is a great idea on a short term playing contract. He can also help set the game plan & his maturity will help. The other thing is we can make amends to how he parted & his time when at the Dees, at a time when we weren't developing players very well. I think this can only help us develop further next year.

What about Billy Longer? He's young, & needs some more work, But is tall and has a massive leap. We had a chance at Kreuzer last year. H's had an excellent year 2016. Now Vardy comes up? A possibility to fill short term role? But we still need to get another youngster in, or near youngster like Longer.

Don't worry pd, Eddie won't let Bucks out, until he's polished Bucks right off. Until that time, the end won't be coming for him.

Back to the mcc with you, where you can laugh politely. I'd have Hodge over Judd as player, leader, captain, every day of the week.

A player with not many weapons has to learn to work harder & harder, & to increase their ability for hard work & pain, each & every season, pushing past their previous limits. I think ANB can do this. Or maybe if he wants to go home one day maybe we could arrange something with Port in the way of player transfer?

Caaarton.

The Tigers need all the most professional types they can muster together to change that club. its been a problem child for far too long, as we were, & as the Saints were up till the end of Tim Watson's time there.

I wonder if the club has been in a habit of paying too much for little return, from the past, and i wonder if those players who demand too much & not performing, are on the outer? This maybe a part of fixing the culture issues, as well ? no more fat cats falling over & refusing to get up?

yes, so if Grimes is kept on, then it must ave been Roosy's issue with him?

Are you thinking, to the Lions for our Christian lad Grimesy, beelzebub. off to the northern Coliseum with him? could be an epic 'howdown?

Jack Trengove and Jack Grimes remain out of contract for next season after spending the bulk of the year in the VFL. While the pair will meet with Goodwin early next week to discuss their futures, Trengove, 24, appears more likely to be retained for next season. Grimes, 27, is expected to consider his options in October’s exchange period after only two senior games this year. They are difficult decisions for the Demons as Trengove and Grimes are two of the most popular members of the playing group who shouldered a lot of burden throughout the disastrous 2012-14 seasons. But midfield spots will be tightly contested at Melbourne next season as the club looks to integrate banned Bombers pair Jake Melksham and Michael Hibberd into the senior team.

Did you consider that he is, leading by example. That he is showing the way being aggressive, to the younger players. Take it to the limit, but not beyond it. A fine balance. And perceived pressure.

Deledio is currently 29yrs as we speak. He isn't really in they're future plans. they are not in the running for next 2 years. So he will end up delisted by 2018 as they are rebuilding. they obviously have culture issues at tigerland which have not beeen fixed. They seem to be like we were amateurish. So they need some of what we've had matures to help changer things. The guys I've mentioned have been through the wrong ways, & have witnessed first hand the right ways, recently. They will have learned how to go about correcting the wrongs in footy clubs. This is what the tigers need more than more kids entering into a filthy den. kids need a good culture to develop within. this has to occur first before you bring newbies into a diseased environment. They're are no inoculations for this disease. michie, terllich, jones, your showing youre immaturity and ignorance, of cultures in footy. you seem to think its all about talent, but it is not. its all about what is done with the talent, how it is grown.

grey woof, is that you Blighty ? how many coaches know about native Red Cedars & buttressed trunks? unless they're Qldr's? or landscapers? Are you lookin for a job down here? By the way, I had a dream as well, & it sounds just like yours. But it was in a TiPi, out bush, with squaws in full headdress, & not much else on, but bare skins on the floor & the flickering flames of the fire, teasing the shadows.

??? Dawes & Grimes to the tiggers, for Deledio + a 4th Rnd pick ??? thoughts. Deledio could help us for 2 - 3 seasons, as we develop other skilled young players

we will trade p26 to move up the order, no doubt, & some players. Our pick numbers will all change during the trade periods. I expect we will have a top 15 pick, but we won't take many kids this year, as we need maturity more from the 2016 Trade/Draft period. I expect us to recruit kids from the 2017 draft, moreso.

I think Garlo is more versatile & coach-able. Maybe why he got 3yrs last year. Dunn is capable for a team with a different setup than our gameplan, a more trad game plan. He would be good for brissy depending on their structures, & also Dawes could help them with leadership. These both being conservative leaders. They need to lose some of that street cred up there, & gain some smarts. They will be in transition from here on, so will need players who can steady them. The other one is Grimesy, but he may join his brother? I think the most likely, if Brissy like any of these 3 players, is we will trade with them, for players. Who I don't know, i don't know their list well enough.

Trade, don't know about trade, but I think he would be of use to them. Grimey is a mature man & player, who doesn't suit our zone structures. A change for him will be beneficial to his game mind & to the club he goes to. Old habits are hard to break in the old environment.

ahh, Grass Hopper, see if you can snatch this little pebble from the hairy side of my hand. When you can, we will be ready to win a Flag.

Tiredness makes me childish, playful & fun at heart. Focus is a victim of tiredness.

I suspect they would be more interested in Grimes & Dunn to help with leadership as they rebuild the right way.

We need an agile quick 200cm forward/follower, who is strong when the ball is on the deck, and will defend aggressively. can catch can ruck.

I was once a Vickery supporter. But he has not developed as he should have, & appears lazy to me, just going through the motions. He's a disappointment to his talent.

I think ANB can be our Tom Mitchell type. same development cycle. hard work.
