He would be handy tho. Run & skills, with some height. Worth a try to see what we can make of him, if not too expensive. Hurley would be great. I wouldn't mind seeing Tomlinson & Oscar in the 2 key back posts, with TMac minding gorillas, or as follower. just a thought.

Apparently he has a direct line to Mrs Prestia's mum. She has the goss.

Billy, maybe the Ox agreed with Sheedy. that the club has been on the wrong pathway. Sheeds is no fool, & especially when it come to running footy clubs. One look at the GWS will tell you that, & that We, along with the Suns, tripped ourselves up & tore our-selves new holes.

If true, he can go & #()@& #$& @%l#

Don't know about Silver, but we need magnum bullets. plenty of them. The more the merrier. We needs movers & shakers, only Viney shook up the opposition on the weekend.

Not a bad idea, except we'll have to teach them to handball instead of pass off. But we'll at least we'll be better off in traffic. All we need to add is kickers. Do you think L Gaze would like the job to coach?

3 seasons is not enough time to fix a soft club. He has only just sifted the list, & helped the players become happy again. We have recruited well, & from the engine room first. so the base layers of all departments are in place, & now we have entered the timeframe where we start to add the finer points (skills & players) to those base layers. You don't just go shopping & buy all these parts thrown them up in the air & things land where they ought. This club has been slowly drifting off line since Swooper left. That is a long time off course, & a mental mess that can't be fixed overnight. Roos understands this side of things & is why we need him to stick around advising.

When we all play well, we go well. We aren't strong enough to carry passengers.

This guy has all the experience to point you in the right direction. He's a ripper. It wouldn't hurt to give him a ring, & a brief chat. http://www.naturaltherapypages.com.au/connect/robrussell/service/23895

Yes, thanks Doc. Its also IMO the reason Lamumba is missing in action, since the last Aints game. In the last, or 3rd Qtr, he dropped off his man near the back pocket to run at the ball carrier near the HBF, leaving a 3on1 close to goal. Rawlings was not happy Jan, a shake of the head at Roos said it all, really. Another who struggles with the zone defence. Now a discussion on the rotations caused zone defences & the effects it is having on players careers, young & old, & on clubs in rebuilds abilities to be competative in each game is truly needed. It is ruining the Aussie rules game. Not to mention TV ratings & game attendances.

Yes, that to.

Typical.

I think I'd rather see Maxxy & fellow Dees on the footy show grand final in a 'Munsters' comedy skit.

So its 'bad luck', with a dash of your political correctness to sooth any concerns your conscience (or others consciences) may hold in this idealistic model you worship. Aren't we lucky your not the sheriff of our shire.

Flypaper, Superglue? Bitumen & feathers. Maybe a Jurassic Spider web?

I think its about that finals are out the window, so the door's opening for young players, to strut their stuff. He is earning & learning. But no doubt playing our kids will show the footy dept exactly where they are up to, & what we need to buy in.

Now there's a 3some uncle bitter could work over. Hair everywhere, uncle. You may need the selfraising flower, for the bearded one ?

I didn't mention anything about being appreciative. I have no doubt most would be appreciative. A tree grows stronger in a windy circumstance, because it needs to. Staking a tree doesn't allow it to grow as it needs, but may make it straight, like a splint holds a broken limb straight. But are you truly helping them become more resilient, or are you staking them in your methods. And flattering your ego? The point is to stand one step behind, as the safety net. Not to fight the fight for them. Be a support, & allow them to grow. Give them permission, but not pressure them, to grow.

Well, I never been accused of sitting on my hands when others are being bullied in front of me, accept by the bullies themselves, stue. crying tears to whoever. I never allow others to be put down or aggressed against, in my midst. or even backwqard when running into fire & smoke filled areas to search for people who may be overcome by the event. But you go right ahead stue, your the grandiose white knight on some horseback crusade, in this little pond. you can be the voice like delta, all shiny as shyte. Don't let me stop you pampering your ego, so the real people are left behind you. another who thinks balck & white, chris. Those, the downtrodden, get nothing from crusaders like you. Only you take it all for yourself, leaving them back where they were, nowhere. They need support, not interference, except when it is out of hand.

I totally agree with the highlighted. We should not celebrate aggression at others, & war. This should be a remembrance of the sad loss of lives, on all sides. So it can be kept in perspective. Yes. That post, sounds like its about you, stuie. And you sound like a bully, the thing that needs to be stamped out in all people, females, males, & indifferents.

those who get chaired off on retirement.

You stand behind them & support them. You do not take their fight from them. Give them strength, & IF they want to fight, they will. If they don't want the fight, they won't. Grandstanding is shallow hal.

The AFL & corporates run the risk of helping turn real social issues into shallow Political Correctness. Being seen to be image correct, instead of quietly walking the walk. No one should be brow beaten into accepting something under threat of shaming. People will accept change If they can see the reasoning & good in it. Not from being bullied by brow beating, & PC officialdom. That is then change that comes without understanding & truth. hollow. The only ones who push for & advocate change, should be those who have directly suffered under those issues. Then the issues are first hand & very real.

You've totally lost it b2803. It has nothing to do with numbers & games. None. It is all about the players love & respect, for the one they are honoring. this is all it is. a show of pride in the person thay are hoisting up on their shoulders. A public showing of their respect for their comrade. Pride.

is that tm McDonalds swyl? maybe go a Big Mac, if prest? I can here the wheels grinding now.
