Knowing his "posting style" I'd assume he was.

I remember at the Hawks v Geelong GF in 2008 there were almost 101K there. Something like 100,821. Not sure of the all-time attendance record.

Not an MCC member? Bitter and uninformed maybe? It's more likely corporate seats that aren't filled

Yeah, this was posted a week or so ago and I can't understand why the Age ran with a story that we already knew and they had already reported. Strange. But a lot of this has been covered.

I agree with rpfc about Green and this has been a point of contention for me for some time. Why supporters insist on rating players as good leaders purely because they show courage on-field is beyond me. There is a hell of a lot more to leadership than that one aspect and to suggest otherwise shows a clear lack of understanding of the concept.

Walker? To be honest? Not far from being Juice Newton Mk II

No... based on that alone he is going to be the most talked about player on our list.

I don't see this as necessarily a situation engineered by the coaching staff but it was a natural progression and the football dept had to see it coming. Brock is useless unless he is playing on ball and the way the game is headed (and our team) is gearing towards 3/4 of your team being able to play through the midfield and rotate through other positions on the field. Versatility is a requirement and it is something Brock doesn't have. While he was on our list he was worth persevering with, but Bailey's placement of Brock in foreign positions was going to force someone's hand eventually. Brock felt unhappy and chose to go; we weren't opposed to it and saw that he would cease to work in our system anyway. Incredible that we managed to get so much for him. I see no reason to hate him and rejoice in his failures, rather I'm just happy he decided to time his departure perfectly.

Yep. Dunn would've made an option.

Well I'll be there with a bunch of Geelong supporting mates... hopefully we can do it again, but I won't hold my breath.

Haven't you noticed him being given the Leigh Matthews apprenticeship..? You never see one without the other, whether it be AFL Gameday, the Bounce, on the radio. Richo seems a nice guy, but he's a bit of a puppet really.

Jon Anderson in his article about the 6 best indigenous players lists Adam Davey among the unlucky players to miss out. Damn fool. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/footys-indigenous-greats/story-e6frf9if-1225867798606

Exactly, I totally agree and for the life of my I can't understand why on earth the AFL doesn't see it that way.

Not sure. I don't think he's injured. If he is fit I want him in the team; he is important to our set up.

Another thread of mind-boggling stupidity...

OUT: Bruce (inj), Bate (inj), Hughes, Johnson, Bartram IN: Dunn, Cheney, Gysberts, Morton, Wonaeamirri Surprised more people aren't calling for Dunn to be recalled. I think we really missed him on Saturday. Bartram has been a good defender, but it hurts having both him and Rivers rebounding from defence. Too many times the ball was in his hands when we needed to execute and he couldn't do it.

Any idea what for? I don't like Sylvia being out.

Definite? There's Jacks spot.

How so? No one is advocating extending the bench and speeding the game up further. You've lost the plot.

I think because it IS Jack, supporters are more hesitant to drop a player. It stems from paranoia that he will have a poor game and we would have been better off with Dunn. We are entering/have entered the stage where players have to perform better than "good enough" to keep their spot. This is a great thing.

Jack Darling? Doubt he'll slip that far. We can dream.

I really like the way you've set a negative tone before he has even been named for a game. Well done.

That was the original plan, but once the teams started to realise how good the GC17 had it and started to grumble, there was no way they were going to take 2 years of GWS pillaging. Around mid-late last year the AFL officially changed their stance to only 1 year of a tampered draft for GWS.

That's the thing. Although they are reprehensible, if we don't own them someone else Carlton will. It's too much of a cash cow to ignore. They'd be derelict in their duty to ignore something that could so significantly prop up our finances. $4.3mil a year from a $370K outlay. Incredible money.

I think he was actually. Edit: he was. http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/62932/default.aspx As was Jack Fitzpatrick.
