  1. We used that one with Sylvia for a while too. How old is Tappy now? 23? I just can't see him making it.
  2. Head of the Melbourne Football Club Academy?
  3. No, let's forget Glen. Or at least, gag him - they may already have done this. Anyway, I don't want to hear any more interviews, Glen. Just keep the board stable.
  4. Worth an apology, HH? Well, at least we'll know that if they don't turn into good players, it was Taylor's fault.
  5. Sounds a bit like our new Prince. :D
  6. There wouldn't be much commentary on Demonland, if we only passed comment on people we knew personally.
  7. People get [censored] off at Brock (and rightfully so), because he said this, wearing a navy blue polo shirt belonging to probably the most obvious tankers in the history of the sport. What a hypocritical rat. Our Richmond game was bad, but their game against us was farcical, as was the latter part of their season.
  8. If it's happening in the NBA, you can bet it'll soon be introduced to our system. The AFL love attempting to emulate the American sports industry. I think he saw a high leading half forward flanker that could out-muscle his opponent at U18 level and kick a long goal, and also happened to remind him of Paul Chapman. I'm only speculating though. Tapscott was a poor pick in hindsight. He looked half decent on the TV during the July Championships. That was about it. I think he generally has a nice kicking action, but I think he's one of those guys whose body allowed him to impact games when playing against boys. Take muscle out of the equation and all of a sudden, he's a slow bloke, with little agility.
  9. Yeah, we actually need to see it on the ground, otherwise it's all for nought. We're still the same shitty Melbourne Football Club until we start winning again and then all of a sudden opposition supporters will gripe about all the draft picks we've been handed. See it coming a mile away. Couldn't care less though. I'd welcome being disliked again, not pitied. Coaches have to adapt. That's what makes a good coach. That's what makes a successful teacher. One of my best mates works at Hawthorn, says Clarkson is an absolute hardarse. Well, we've all witnessed that from the stands really, but it goes to show there are some that can make it work. Maybe Clarkson has the balance right? Yep, they did.
  10. We have no idea what went on, so who knows. Just as we can't really say it was disgraceful how he was sacked. We simply don't know enough information. I'll back our FD to have vetted the situation and McCartney properly. With Roos to helm the ship, under Jackson's watchful eye, I'm sure this will be a good appointment.
  11. McCartney into a development role and Goodwin to the midfield, surely. And I like this news.
  12. Tappy will be delisted.
  13. Unfortunately, we need it to be a number of blokes, mate. I'd say they're just about top of the tree, but gee it'd be handy to have two or three of the mids show the improvement that Jetta has shown. The way the club seems to be backing him, I wouldn't be surprised if he comes out next year and really starts to impact games. It'll be about whether he can accumulate enough of the ball. His disposal shouldn't be in question.
  14. Well, in a way, you could argue Jack being put up for trade opened his eyes to the possibility of switching clubs and what that would entail. It doesn't have to be a sour grapes thing. It could merely be eye-opening. The fact that he considered leaving this year, may well impact his decision at the end of '15. Mentally, sometimes it's very hard to get back into a situation you thought you'd moved on from. But as you say, Jack seems like the type of kid that would attempt to repay the faith we've placed in him for years.
  15. Looks alright, but I don't expect us to beat GCS unfortunately. I know it's on our turf and we should be in with a shot, but they should have too much class in the midfield. Still, a few months to pass under the bridge yet though. We could have some inspiring/creepy Saty training reports that induce us into a false sense of optimism. All of a sudden, Demonland will be bleating: "if we don't beat GCS we won't win a game for the rest of the season". An early win will undoubtedly help a spike in membership though, so I hope we get it.
  16. I have a feeling it might be the other way around. Fascinating time to go though.
  17. Whereas, I never rated him. Does sound easy to say in hindsight though. Always had suspect disposal and was slower than my grandmother. Even Darren Cuthbertson played some great games. Didn't mean he was going to last though.
  18. Well, given we've barely touched our midfield this off season, after saying everyone's tradeable, you'd bloody hope we'd look to invest in our C grade (B grade if I'm being extremely kind) midfield.
  19. Agree, but equally, it doesn't mean he's not worth a 3rd or 4th rounder. Not saying we'll take him though.
  20. I found the first half of the film predictable, but the final act was gripping and head ache-inducing. Bond girl Rosamund Pike is amazing. Fincher's direction is amazing, as is the cinematography. Reznor's score is wonderful too. A very solid watch.
  21. That makes absolutely no sense. Midfielders. We need midfielders. Don't get me wrong, I'd love Cameron, but midfield is priority one.
  22. Is that sarcasm, jazza?
  23. Also, LOL if he landed at Sydney. Eddie would have a meltdown.
