    Can't say I'm really concerned about those lapsed members. The way I see it is that if we start winning and the likes of Hogan, Brayshaw and even Fitzy (who, judging by the crowd reaction, is becoming a bit of a cult hero) regularly star, the kids will start to adopt our team and drag their parents along with them (hopefully). Membership numbers will start to grow.

    Absolutely no way I would be leaving Lalalalamumba out

    There's two ways of looking at that DC... perhaps he saw it as 'white anting" the opposition.

    This is a very strange season so far... if we manage to win this one, we are essentially just one win and percentage out of the 8 (and no, I'm not daring to dream we could make the finals...just making an observation). With this week's fixture, there is every chance that from 9th position down to 13th position will all be on 16 points and one game out of the 8 (positions 6, 7 & 8 all on 20 points).

    Worsfold has ruled himself out of returning to coaching apparently, so the pool is getting shallower.

    Sounds more like a footy fixture.

    It has to be the Betts goal from the right pocket.

    Yes, you may well be right... but we are not talking about what it should be. My comments were based on what it is now...it should be who has had the best season out of all those nominated regardless of which round they were nominated in.
  11. hardtack
    I really wonder if it does matter when they get nominated. I would have thought that in the final judging, they will look back on each nominees whole season and draw a conclusion from the consistency of their performances.

    Not even Tony Abbott could get him a reprieve

    Well, I would classify that as a being a borderline conspiracy theory given that GWS are creating their own well deserved media exposure with their performances of late... your average Sydney-sider would not have a clue what the Rising Star award is, let alone care.
  14. hardtack
    In which case, what do you attribute to the fact that Hogan wasn't chosen (without it being a conspiracy)?
  15. hardtack
    Why on earth doesn't this game get covered by Foxtel? Even if not live, a replay could be shown.

    Fair point

    Blues will meet at midday today to decide whether to sack Malthouse. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/sack-or-reappoint-me-mick-malthouse-on-future-as-carlton-blues-coach/story-fni5f5nx-1227369211781

    Couldn't agree more.
  19. hardtack
    Well usually I don't, but this was his opinion of Malthouse as a person... and as someone who has no doubt had plenty of contact with him, I suppose it has to be worth something. That's why I wondered whether that could explain the blues poor performances.
  20. hardtack
    I thought it was funny on AFL360 last night that Robbo came out and said (I'm paraphrasing here) that while he respected Malthouse as a coach he had absolutely no respect for him as a person. I wonder if he failing in getting the respect of his players as a person, as opposed to failing as a coach.

    Well OD, I have to agree with you... but imagine a dual pronged attack of Brayshaw AND Viney... I salivate at the thought.
  22. hardtack
    I think that's a good side... but I would have Riley start and Viney as the sub... bring him on for the second half when he will be absolutely champing at the bit. As I said earlier, Riley can soften their midfield up and Viney can finish them in the second half.
  23. hardtack
    If Viney is coming back from injury this week, rather than have him play a game at Casey, I would love to see him played as the sub. Use Riley in the first half to soften up the likes of Wines and then sub him with Viney to continue a sustained assault in the second half of the game.

    I seem to recall someone (maybe TDI?) mentioning that the club were taking a precautionary approach as he has had a few concussions in the past. That was mentioned (in a training thread I think) about 3 weeks ago and at teh time it was mooted that he would possibly miss 5 weeks.

    As did posters on these forums.
