I agree with the second part of your comment... but if this was a generic statement, then why was it reserved for Watts and Sylvia only... Roos believes they are worth persevering with and so he is obviously doing all he can to get him to sign on.

Considering Roos stated that Watts and Sylvia were required players at the MFC, I can't see how that works.

Interesting to see this report that has Demetriou now in the running for the top job in men's tennis admin (something he has denied in the past).

Is that a serious comment? Kirk presents himself well and apart from the one bizarre intro he did (that was probably set up for him by the station), he is very lucid and comes across as reasonably intelligent and very capable. Were you one of those who used to say the same thing about Nathan Jones?

No, clowns are occasionally funny.

Maybe, but I get the feeling his was an open and shut statement...he left no opening like Roos did in his OTC responses to Sheehan and Healy.

An easy win last week?? The margin was comfortable, yes...but that was one of the hardest fought wins I can recall seeing in many many years. That was absolutely frenetic attack on player and ball and if I was to think of a comparison, it was like a school of sharks in a feeding frenzy. I want Freo to win, but I get the feeling that last week may have taken more out of them than we think.

Cameron Ling just categorically stated on the AFL GF coverage that he will be sticking to his channel 7 and 3AW commitments and that he will NOT be coaching AT ALL. So that should put an end to all future speculation.

Seriously??? The first link in that google search gave you the number of games he played. You couldn't then search for a fixture to see how many games comprise a season and add two finals?

We offer them pick 2 for Fyfe and they take it in the hope that Boyd is passed up by GWS :-)

And you know this how?

I hope you're right, but that was the feeling I got from Roo's comments on the TV (can't recall whether it was OTC or during the televised coverage of a game).

Terlich is a player who was recently roundly criticised by Roos (and a player who Roos is familiar with), but he also has a lot of "perceived" value because of what was generally considered an outstanding season. With Mitch Clisby showing some great potential, I wonder whether Roos might not see Terlich as possible trade bait? I would like to see us keep Terlich, but I get the feeling Roos is not particularly impressed by him.

How many first year players have won this award and more particularly, how many 17 to 18 year old players have won it, and even more particularly, how many 17 to 18 year old key position players have won it? Makes it a pretty big ask to #keepalidonit.

Heart says Freo, head says Hawks

They all show his talents... What's Up Tiger Lilly (his first?) - he acquired the rights to a Japanese gangster flick and dubbed his own dialogue over it. Sleeper is a great film with a screamingly funny Jewish tailor robot. Bananas, Love and Death, Annie Hall, Small Time Crooks, Manhattan etc etc... they are all good and each quite different. One of my favourites though, a black and white mystery with Mia Farrow and John Malkovich, Shadows and Fog... great.

The Kobe/Wagyu beef of meat and the Dutch Cream of potatoes!

Since you asked (substitute Demons for Grave Diggers):

hardtack, on 24 Sept 2013 - 10:38 PM, said: Yes, but it wasn't made clear whether Roos approached Drew suggesting he apply for the position or whether Drew applied completely unprompted... that was my point as it was being questioned as to who initiated the contact..

So that's a "No" then?

Oooh that wascawy woos!

Isn't that what I said?

If ever he needed any incentive to do so, Colless has probably given it to him.

Roos mentioned on OTC that Dew applied for the position, but that the Swans won't allow him to be interviewed. Roos didn't make it clear as to who first approached who, but I got the impression that maybe Dew made the move.

I heard that they were going to fly off to Wangaratta, but it was raining.
