I agree with you RobbieF. Just trying to inject a little reason, some here seem to think the flag is in the bag now. It is looking like some good moves are being made.

We cannot afford him Sloonie, cannot see him giving up a very large salary at Nine any time soon.

Redleg at the risk of being seen to be negative "what would we expect him to say? " I need a few years work and would love to live in Melbourne so I took the job because they are paying me the most". Proof of the pudding for me, talk is cheap I will wait and see how 2012 plays out before I go over the top. Having said all that at the very least we are making some big changes and It is hard to see that not improving things in 2012

Smoke and Fire! Redleg.

I was already signed up. Just keep in mind it is September 29th 2011. He does not play at FF or anywhere for that manner!

Not sure if mine responds the same way!

Keep your excitement under control! What if the" defining season" says we have actually over rated our players in the past and we are a bottom six side? No slashing of wrists now. Stay calm and wait and see how 2012 plays out.

Yes Redleg "the force is with you" Now can you just channel it out onto the field next year!

You have got me Sloonie. I have read the MFC announcement 4 times. Now I might be a little dense this afternoon. But I am struggling with the Structure. Not sure how it all fits together. Can anyone enlighten me? Have a gut feeling we will have more chiefs than indians in 2012. How much are all these guys costing? We must have tripled the FD spend from 2011. PS sloonie what happened to your avatar I have read your postings now?

He had quite a few mates this year. Sometimes I think because he was captain he has to wear the team's poor results.

The way this is going we will have more off field personnel than players. Hope we don't forget that these guys don't actually play!

I seem to remember a bloke called Judd. Don't think he amounted to much!

Pringle I think there is promise in him. But if he kicks as many as Salmon I will be delighted

DEELIGHTED, on 29 September 2011 - 12:32 PM, said: I personally think his age is a bonus. We have a young list and from what I can gather hes an ultimate professional when it comes to preparing for games. Have never seen him in the papers on the social scene and more importantly have he has never brought the club into the spotlight for any negative stuff. If the young guys prepare and behave like he does it will well and truly put the club in good stead. I reckon that covers it fairly well. I was a critic this year but only on his performance on the field. I have never seen any evidence that he has been anything but a great servant of the club. Not sure why so many on here have him in the gun!

Yes we were trying to hide the number of desks we had purchased!!!!!!!!!!!

Except that he would start doing it next year. Now don't take that as a negative to Fitzpatrick. I think we need both

As well Robbie I have a gut feeling that Neeld will not make wholesale changes to our list this year. May want to find out for himself how good the list is. But look out at the end 2012 if you have not provided the goods. Having said that tomorrow he will announce 10 delistings

Oh damn

Hopefully he can do something with Davey "anywhere"

Well it probably does not matter DemonWA as he appears locked in to Collingwood.

You have to have a good sense of humour around the MFC. Thanks for the laugh this morning!

Spot on Hardtack

Sorry I object to these people ringing up. My answer [censored] off!

Love it DC smiling again!

Mate have you heard the one about your Aunty and Uncle..................
