Footynut

spencer hurt... freo running much better - they are great front runners though

long year ahead team.... C&B lower your expectations.... We will be lucky not to lose by 10 goals here

where was the tackle on Johnson?

Get Jurrah off

petterd is on fitzpatrick off did he touch it?

who cares about the 9 pointer just want to see them come out and make some good progress in the second half. Lets go boys have a crack!

Settle down C&B its half time in a NAB cup game....we are the bottom side....hang in there mate we all feel the pain....

I tell you though when we dont turn it over or give it away we look ok....

come on dees close it down!

As called by Gerard nice bump by jetta

Strauss looks promising - gee martin looks like Jeff white with the 34

Jurrah looks like he hasnt seen a footy for about a year

Maric nice kick inside 50 to miller 16 points down - Jones doing well

Nice goal Davey well setup by Frawley showing nice run and compose out of half back..

I think its quite funny that the title of this post - 'i hate to say I told you so' Do we really believe that YM hates to say he told us so? YM hates telling us he is supposedly right? Hmmm not sure about that one! Certainly nothing wrong with making a prediction and backing yourself in but YM it is way too early to be making any calls. All you are really doing is annoying people with your lack of logic. Everyone on this board knows it takes time and has been said so a million times. So YM let it rest and time will judge you and your claim as the number 1 would be recruiter in the universe. I could go on with plenty more about why someone needs to get on here and make a statement like that but why waste my time. I hope this is the last time I feel compelled to add my two cents on rubbish like this during the year.... Sadly I dont think i will be able to help myself... How annoying really.... Go Watts Go Dees!!

Id be in for sure! Also love some info on future fund....

Hooray!! We havent won much over the last few years so time to celebrate!!

Ok well I decided to see what I could do with a Melb only team. The only problem is we have nothing to pick from in the ruck as none will play much to begin the season so I went for 2 rucks from other teams which actually makes this team look pretty good! Defenders Grimes J MacDonald Bartram Warnock Martin Rivers Frawley Mids Bruce Moloney Jones Davey Morton Green Rucks R Warnock (Ironically) D Petrie Forwards Sylvia Bate Petterd Miller Jurrah Maric Watts Emergencies Wona Tapscott Jamar Gawn Scully Trengove Garland Cheney

again your last sentence of your original post says it all RR. So you think that within 2 years we will know whether tapscott is a dud? In my humble opinion we still may not know. Simple as that. The club has taken a gamble knowing full well locking them both in further protects us from interstate raids or go home factor. It is a real positive and while you are along with anyone else entitled to your 'glass half empty' view. I for one don't subscribe. Go dees!!

that would be fail judged by who RR? You judging is a conflict of interest lol. Far be for me to question the boards greatest journalist... Given one reply to a thread you can judge ones wit and wisdom?? As for slowly I simply asked you a question to which you didn't reply. I thought you were being funny with what you inferred and was checking if you were serious... Were you?

Can anyone verify the below link on Gys?

Thats about what I'd expect RR...no warm and fuzzy for you! Are you suggesting that players who we have recruited inside top 20 wouldnt be given over 2 or 3 years to grow and prove themselves anyway? Oh no RR if they havent proven 'AFL pedigree' in two years lets cut them loose to GWS.... You have a wicked sense of humour... As with the others I think it more shows the boys are willing to commit to us from the start unlike most other players in the AFL with so called pedigree have given us over the last few years....

Dirty you are correct 100% but of course you didnt need me to tell you that!

happy new year all

What do you mean Im still backing McLean?
