It didn't used to be the way. Prior to their premierships, they were just as inconsistent and soft as we are now.

And let's be honest, we struggle to kick big bags of goals consistently. If LJ can kick his two or three, Sylvia & JT chip in with a couple, Whopper kicks a couple and we develop another forward, all of a sudden we look like a good team.

If we could get an A grader for Jones I'd certainly do it. Particularly if they were big bodied. But I wouldn't trade Jones for an injured big man.

We were always going to trade at some stage though. It makes sense after four years of rebuilding that we'd have identified the areas which need to be strengthened. Usually this converts to the trade table.

The press are the ones who have been continually saying that we are bereft of leaders. They'll continue to write whatever they want to sell papers. All they do is backflips. Make the tough decisions, MFC. Green should not be captain. If we're to be a successful club once more, we must cut out the poisonously weak culture still lingering from the Daniher era.

Craig Kelly, as in the former Collingwood fullback? He has even more reason to get Ross Lyon to us. We then don't go after Mick.

Davey is potent? Could have fooled me for the last two seasons. Oh and that's a no to Gumbleton.

I think there's a pretty obvious difference between continually loosing prelims and getting close in GFs. Common sense really. Wouldn't touch Eade with a ten foot pole.

People selecting Moloney still defies logic. He's a front runner just like the rest of the older players. Hasn't played one of his great games against decent opposition or away from the G this year. JT gets involved and leads wherever we play. Include Frawley, Garland, Watts, McKenzie and Scully in the leadership group.

Very well said. Agree entirely.

Sorry to be a downer, but Sylvia does this every time against Richmond. Do it against every team, anywhere. He's been there almost eight years. Time to tear games apart regularly.

I think it was the right decision. They could have spun it differently had they merely not played him. This sends a direct message. I like it. Green is a front-runner and shouldn't be captain.

If Jones could think quicker, execute by foot and make the correct decisions, he'd be a gun. Unfortunately, he doesn't. He kicked three yesterday but also gave three away. Even for the round, Tiger.

CGS need some guns. They haven't had one for a few seasons.

Exactly, rpfc.

I'm not sure it's such a bad thing, fitness. It puts Malthouse in the frame as well. We have the cash to spend on a coach and a young, talented list. If Clarkson declines then Mick has his turn.

That perception may have come from me reading Demonland too much.

I reckon 600k is reasonable value for Scully. As long as Watts and JT are on similar amounts.

No, I reckon we pay Scully what he's worth at the moment. In line with JT and Tappy. Spend the cash on a coach. No one on our list deserves that at the moment.

Clarkson every day of the week for me. I actually think Clarkson has jumped ahead of Malthouse in my wants.

Very interesting. Carries as much weight as anything else we've ever heard in the media, but I'd like to dream.:D

Gotta a bit of pedo about this photo, I gotta say.

God, I hope not. He's not proven at all! You're not proven until you win a flag. Very black and white.

It doesn't help with a lack of structure for the players to follow. I cannot remember a single stage today where I thought, 'Yep, we've got our structures right'. Each time we looked to go forward, it was long and hopeful, or short and wide. When we got the ball on half back we rarely had line-breakers and our only game-plan was to try a switch in an attempt to catch the Eagles out. Our decision making and skill execution (particularly when entering the corridor) shot us in the foot every time.
