If the coach you mention above thought he was that good - he would have been picked up last year as the Bulldogs gained a few .However, we need a developed body player whom can get the ball out of the centre. Luke Ball is not quick and his disposal delivery can be questioned..we need a similar player to him..IMO.There will be several players whom will be picked up from the VFL this year.

HA HA -- they won- and whom brought the team back into the match-- the midfield.

I believe Crouch would be a great pick up for us- really shows class & determination and comes from the Ballarat district.

Gawn has the ability and character to be a sensational part of our playing group.

Misson would not be included in the 8 full time coaches. Therefore 3 more required..If they keep David Dunbar then.. he would be included I believe.

Very interesting opening speech.Thanks Andy for your input. Very much appreciated. Sorry for cold dinner. Felt warmth and sincerety from him, seems the club will fully back him, especially in the area of football department. Now the investment in 8 full time coaches, we can see the full development of our players. Now it is up to them. Go Dees.

He can't contracted by AFL to play the first 2 years with the club he is drafted to --the Weagles.And the player whom we should through the dough at is Jordan Lewis -a star in the makings. Fevola is the tall forward we need and a tall backman will also be great.

Only Sewell we could afford and not a SILLY pick up is Myles Sewll his brother who plays for North Ballarat in the VFL.

HT-This may actually be his last year in the Under 18's.As you rightly state he qualifies but talking to Kelly O'Donnell last week he may actually play for Casey next year. if they decide to and gain special permission to do so.

I agree - a quality Jack Gunston may be worth a punt.

I have been expecting your outburst re Josh--I wonder what your old man thinks about his upgraded role ??

Garland after Neeld moves him to a wing.

Yep- And when we gain the recruits from the exchange for Scully- well, we can say--up you...

I sincerely hope this is true-that Craig is heading to Demonland.I wonder what is happening to Chris Connolly.?

I'm getting jealous - I thought you would come and watch Jack Viney last weekend.

Too true- need all of the above and a small backman as well.

A great opportunity now exists at Essendon with the appointment of McCartney at the Bulldogs and good luck to him- a gem of a bloke.

Great news that he is out of his moon boot and walking -- 50% of pre season work is expected to be completed.

Agree with your thoughts- can't wait for your reports as well.

Maybe you should send this to Mark Neeld - could be valuable.May save him some time....

I can asure you I am not.Scully was on my profile as one of my favourite players.However I watch a lot of Under age football and feel that Scully was a very good footballer. But I definately think Viney is better. He still qualifies as an under 18 next year. He was the Australian Under 16 captain whom has just come on even further. He has mixed it very well with the Under 18's this year continuosly in the best for chargers. I feel he is definately more hard nosed than Scully and also a better kick. He may not get 40 odd disposals a game but what he does and is prepared to do for the team is almighty.

I think St Kilda could do with him...maybe a trade with say Lynch,Stanley or even Farren Ray maybe a good pick up in a trade/swap.

I must say- very very impressive.

My reaction-HA HA HA--- see you soon during pre season...

I tend to agree- he should control his own destiny... and we surely need the best team we can provide.
