WYL-I don't believe you meant that in your opinion, The days of list management are over--I think that list management is the most vital factor of any clubs success.We have had to develop a stronmg list , maintain it and grow - in particular where we have weaknesses.

Don't worry re playing more games at Etihad-- play them in China- or Casey..These are the areas where we are developing and will gain tremendous membership over the next few years.China- in particular is exciting..I can see the Chinese holding,say 10% of our whole membership in 5/7 years time.

As RR rightly pointed we are not a repat centre nor he would not get a game with us now let alone in the future. With midfielders a plenty right now which includes the possibilities of these players running through the centre: Bail,Bartram*,Bell*,Bennell, Blease, Bruce**,Aaron Davey,Dunn,Green, Grimes,Gysberts,Jetta,Tapscott,Trengove,McKenzie Jones,Maric,MCDonald**,Moloney,Scully, Strauss, Sylvia, as well as Jack Viney to come I think we have enough smalls to cover Midfield and small forward positions. Furthermore, he trained with us --and we did not pick him up.We were supposed to have offer him to come to us again and he knocked us back. He cannot get a regular game with Essendon - SO WHY WE? GO DEES and furthermore Aaron would try to feed him to get a kick rather than -What he does sometimes now- look after the indigenous players instead of other players in better positions. * = possible delisting next year or next ** = possible retirement, next year or the following.

Just for the record- Jack is 19 born on the 26th March 1991. He is 196 cms and still growing- the development wuth this young man is just exciting however let's all give him the chance for his body to mature before placing him against the apes like Dan Merrett etc..

Thanks but I do not believe you however I accept on this occassion youu are right- RPFC was correct and had great insight-- but blowing his own horn on this--I;ll remember this just to keep you to your promise..

He has done this continously-

Agree HT- however as you imply-- just what a future we have when our list is injury free and matures..another couple of talls would be great for a few years time

Interesting to see Meeson only 4 to 6 weeks away. Gawn is expexted to join main group in 6 weeks,LJ in 8 to 10 weeks, thus leaving only Tapscott as the real unknown.

Condolences Beamer- you left her with a slashing game last week- remember her with another this weekend.

Open your blunt eyes- we moved the ball through the centre repeatingly.

Agree- but shouldn't Etihad suit our play. Right down the guts..to me is the best plan at any stadium.The talls- worry me a little -alot of them.

YEP- Just hope ther players are not getting as carried away as some posters here

agree- remember Russell's sarcastic slant at our club over the last two years.

AGREE TOTALLY- But Saturday was special for current times.This developing team seems to be going to do the 50's proud.

With our curent style- shouldn't that really suit-Etihad?

I wrote in February that the first NAB cup game was critical. This was for our membership drive and furthermore confidence. With our belting against Freo and subsequent NAB games- I thought we would struggle,especially after being belted by Hawthorn to beat Richmond in Round 4. No way did I believe we could beat Brisbane- I truly thought we would get belted. I also did not think we could get 32000. Roost it declared we would. He thought we could get 33000 odd. Well- I thought he was dreaming. We may still. The huge win- going to China as well, lays down a very solid platform for our October match and possible members and sponsors.We could even be a final eight team this year. However, we are young and may falter later on. But the foundation is there. Better team than what I thought we were.Your honest thoughts??

NO CHANGE-- Martin is required to cover talls.

Huge manlove for Scotty WEST- he has been a huge factor in our development of the mid field...Saturday night , the players did him proud. We killed them...

Some of our friends got accussed as being more patriotic that Collingwood supporters- we took that as a huge compliment. Go JD & FAMILY.

Extremely well said- and what a WIN- Magnificant with all 22 really putting in.. Great for Jimma and the whole club. Go memberships GO.

He trained yesterday with NO SIGNS OF BANDAGES. After training he stated he would be back in full training in 6 weeks. I think you must have seen a different person- your eyes must have been jaded.

If I am wrong- my sincere apologies to all.

Two fours a eight.The lucky number in Chinese. Therefore reaching 44 Jimma- we all hope brings the luck to beat your illness and allow you to watch the mighty Dees develop into a powerhouse over the next few years- GO JIMMA- GO DEES. Happy returns of the Day.

Training Friday was very interesting with a host of people watching. Stan Alves was present along with a cousin of Norm Smith. LJ did not seem to be there and two significant factors came from the day- Max Gawn is expected to start full training in 6 weeks. Aussie & PJ seem as fat as whales. Both will take a while to trim down. Weight maybe a significant problem for Aussie- based on his build. All three emergencies trained. Healey seemed to train with one hand heavily bandaged and he could not use it.Seems to have a wrist injury. Short ,sharp session for all players. Firstly the senior group then the players representing Casey came on after the seniors were finished. Spoke to Ricky Petterd whom stated he will be at the Demons next year. He was definate about this. Spoke to Bails whom was getting real excited about the player list but thought it would take till 2013/4 to reach it's peak.Take note Blease also trained with Casey.
