Indeed. However, the public transport options to Casey Fields need to be improved if they're to buld a stadium. It's no point having another Waverley - I believe you need the train going to the ground to make this successful.

It makes sense, although - like everything - the devil's in the detail.

Yes, I think it is.

Notwithstanding the membership figures this year, success in the 90's didn't do much for North.

I'm looking for us to play competitive and attacking footy. I also hope some of our younger players give us something to dream about.

:D

I didn't know they played curtain raiser matches on the 'G - what time is that?

In terms of what's deemed appropriate for Demonland, I think the moderation is fine. I hope this article doesn't prompt an over-reaction when it comes to the moderation of these boards.

Excellent.

From that article, it seems only Laidley's kid doesn't qualify. I wonder how you'd go coaching your own kid - a bit of a minefield for player and Coach, I'd think.

Yes...

The four you've mentioned do more than what Buckley does. They may not have the pace that Buckley has, but they find the ball more, and all work much harder defensively than Buckley does. Bartram's disposal is fairly average, but I'd say the other three easily shade Buckley when it comes to skills by foot.

I agree.

I agree.

He did enough. Hard to do too much when your team is getting beaten pretty badly.

We won't more for him than he's worth to us. We might for Sylvia, if he plays some decent games.

What impressed you?

I imagine that even if Rivers' withdrawal was a 'late thing', Martin's probably still a fair way off.

He needs to work harder and be more accountable. I'm not that fussed about his errors with the ball atm - at least he's taking the game on.

I only watched it on TV, but it didn't seem like he could do much - the ball was put on his head.

We really need Rivers to get his body right - he's a very important player. Totally.

Johnson = Dees? Or is there a Johnson that plays for Sandringham (as a Sandy-listed player)?

PJ's been used up forward a fair bit in the last year and a half, and hasn't done particularly well there. I don't think there's room for three rucks - neither PJ, Jamar, or White are better than pinch-hitters up forward atm.

It's generally the case that the guys named in the 18 play, though. I think there was a fair signal in the off-season. Didn't we try and use Carroll as trade bait, but no one would come to the party?
