    How has this topic managed to get to 4 pages?

    What we need is for Davey to rediscover his mojo, because with his razor sharp delivery into the forward 50, the opportunities for goals will increase enormously.

    Depends how consistently and accurately our mids can get the ball inside the 50. I actually don't mind if he doesn't kick 50, because the fact he will be drawing the main defender may result in Jurrah or Watts (or even Howe) getting more scoring opportunities.

    Not to mention The Loved Ones (arguably the best band this country ever produced), Mike Furber and the Bowery Boys, Little Gulliver, The Wild Cherries, Johnny Young, Bee Gees (Spics and Specs era). The Purple Hearts, The Valentines (Bon Scott's first band I believe), The Mixtures and on it goes. Discos like Thumping Tum, Box Hill and Ringwood Town Halls (fight night at the disco) etc etc. I have great memories of my first ever live concert which was a Go Show at the Myer Music Bowl in the late 60's; MPD, Bobby & Laurie, ONJ, Loved Ones, Bee Gees, Marcie and the Cookies, Wild Cherries, and a few others that escape me now.

    I think the spotlight will be on: - Buckley in his first season without Malthouse to bail him out and without two of his highly qualified assistants - Hird in his second year; if the Bummers stumble, it will start to hit the fan - Ratten if it gets to a point where it is looking like the Blues won't make the top 4 - Freo will be feeling the heat from day one because of the way they went about recruiting Lyon - Scully will be under serious scrutiny early in the season; moreso if he is given the captaincy - like Scully, Clark will be under some scrutiny early on, simply because of the size of the offer to get him to the club

    Oh no... time to move him on then :-D I think that Martin should probably be CHB and Watts CHF and either Tapscott or Blease could help to complete the midfield equation (probably Tapscott as Blease's run out of defence will be a great asset). Oh, and before the season starts, we had better clarify that it's Clark without the "e" - Clarke with the "e" plays in the same side as Trengrove.and Maloney :-)

    If the story re Caddy wanting to relocate back to Melbourne so he could be close to his ill father is true, then you have to wonder just how much effort he is going to be willing to put into his on-field performance next year.
  9. hardtack
    Watching for Caddy related news in #tradeweek on Twitter is like watching the closing minutes of an Ebay auction... come to think of it, maybe next year the AFL could set up an Ebay store where these trades can be conducted.
  10. hardtack
    Any chance bate is tied up somehow in our efforts to secure Caddy?
  11. hardtack
    Hopefully this will be a similar scenario (but cheaper) to that of the Clark signing - the MFC will keep their cards very close to their chest and make a move when it is likely to be most effective; I doubt very much that they are sitting on their hands.

    As you will see in my PM'd response, perhaps you should be taking your own advice.
  13. hardtack
    No big deal :-) But as I said, it's nice to see Jimmy involved... he is able to move mountains; or, as in this case, "man mountains"!
  14. hardtack
    No, if you read the article I linked, it states that it was from The West Australian.

    You don't need to name names... is the "good authority" from within one of the clubs or caddy's management company... if not, then it is hardly any authority at all. If I had a dollar for every post that stated the info was "on good authority", I would have as many dollars as there are posts that say the info is "on good authority".
  16. hardtack
    From AFL site actually (bottom of article)... http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/125170/default.aspx

    Nice to see that it was a "personal approach" from Jimmy Stynes that was a major influence on Clark's change of heart.
  18. hardtack
    looking at the tweeting from Essendon supporters going through #tradeweek, they seem pretty much resigned to the fact he won't be going to Windy Hill; hopefully that just means we need to offer up a reasonable bundle and not have to get involved in a bidding war.
  19. hardtack
    Not kidding at all actually. At his best he is a very good player. I recall him running rings around a few of our players when he was at the Dogs. As much as i like what Black can do, I would certainly prefer Ray over a player who would effectively be just biding his time before retirement.
  20. hardtack
    I would rather we went for someone like Farren Ray... would be cheaper and has a heap of ability.
  21. hardtack
    Best tweet I have seen through this entire trade week: "In an administrative mix up today Richmond recruited Ivan Milat"
  22. hardtack
    I agree
  23. hardtack
    I'm just watching the #tradeweek tweets
  24. hardtack
    Currently being tweeted that a deal with Freo is about to be anounced
  25. hardtack
    Depends how much Freo want Clark... I would be offering them pick 12 in a straight swap for Morabito
