  1. You are kidding! He is better than that. You either take him or forget him. He will want a contract and will get one from someone. Besides Carlton will draft him.
  2. I agree with you However 50 each would be a great result!
  3. You have my vote Daisycutter, Lets win a whole lot of games in 2011 in whatever Red and blue Guernsey they run out in.
  4. Yes I was! glad to see you did not take the bait. What else do we have to talk about in November? Perhaps that [censored] who captained Australia last night. For the life of me I have never seen an Australian captain laughing when they are loosing the unloseable! Can anyone imagine Border,Taylor,Waugh or Ponting laughing in the same situation as last night. Why did he let the bowlers bowl all that short rubbish over after over? God deliver us!
  5. You have my vote Titan--- In fact most of us do not have a clue about these players. Unless you go to a lot of games we are all guessing. The only group that matters is Melbourne Football department. They get all the info, go to matches, attend pre draft camps and so far have a good record. The selection of players is not an exact science, lots of things can change after selection and quite often players develop later as they mature and late draft picks can produce jewels e.g. Mckenzie. So the rest of us are just blowing hot air because most of the time we do not have a clue.
  6. The "predictor" in the "Hun" today lists him at pick 20. If that is accurate he is ranked a long way from 12!
  7. I heard it on SEN live and I thought they caught Bailey out. I thought his reply had all the marks of someone covering up their interest. I believe the MFC is interested and were trying to keep it quiet, that way they could pick him up with a late pick. However just my thoughts on the interview. I saw him in one game vs Casey and he killed us that day, however we got walloped that day by 10 goals so probably anyone would have looked good. Taken as a late pick or PSD he might be worth the risk. He was picked at a low number by Hawthorn, so he must have shown something! I know there were injuries and a big head, however what are we risking for one year.
  8. Why not Daisycutter I am warmimg to the idea of more white!
  9. I agree with you in the main However I saw him a couple of times at Casey and he just did not seem interested. Before he gets a go a senior level I would want to see some geninue endeavour at casey in the first 5-6 games. For mine 2011 is it for Steff, show some endeavour or it is over.
  10. Thanks M9 but I did all that I was asked including removing the existing protection. I went for 24 hours with no protection trying to load it but it just went around in circles and never seem to want to load. As I said I was disappointed I could not get it to work.
  11. Not sure about your last comment However what the MFC needs is is a forward who throws his weight around and has a high opinon of himself. We have enough wall flowers lets get a Dermie, Buddy or Brown. Those guys win flags not meek little numbers who worry to much about getting reported.
  12. Daz I must have been watching a different player. Neitz was well over 6 feet ( In the old language )and weight 100Kg+ If used correctly That size will get most backmen looking over their shoulder.
  13. In the interest of supporting a club sponser I tried this week to Use Kaspersky. My Virus protection was about to expire and a few friends had said they were good value. So I tried, after three attempts over two days The system refused to down load! With my virus protection expiring in 2 hours I gave up and renew my subscription with Trend Micro. Hope other fans have more luck. I was actually disappointed I could not use Kaspersky!
  14. rpfc" I agree, if the worst happens you play Spencer or even Fitzpatrick and hope they can gives us a break even share. After watching AFL for a long time I have seen guys rise to the occasion. Some times players mature and develop faster when thrown in at the deep end. The only way I would be happy with us selecting a mature age ruckman would be: - A good ruckman is available - A good "Hale" type is available I may be wrong but I do not see either type available in the draft at present. God knows if Spencer will make it but he has a contract and over the next two years for better or worse we have to find out.
  15. Could not agree more! Wona makes it sound like we have a choice! At the end of the day a Dees win is a Dees win wherever you are. I would stand in the outer with nothing to eat and my bladder bursting to see a GF win. Hang on I did that in 64. Sorry! could not help myself I had to say it!
  16. Dratts I have a brother in Brisbane who is a lions member. Normal gets me in and I will now miss the chance to brag while we are killing them. Oh well nothing in the world is perfect.
  17. This is a very good draw for the MFC forget when / where we play! We only play the top sides once and get to play sides at our level or lower twice. IMO if we do not do well in 2011 then our list is not as good as we all think. With this draw we should make 8th place. IMO anything less will be a poor result.
  18. "Roost IT" there may be another change or have I missed Bruce resigning? If he should go that would give us five selections in the draft or 1 in the pre season. Otherwise it looks good!
  19. OH Daisy he will only get a gig if there are big man injuries and as I said else where He is there for 2011 so lets concentrate on people on the main list. In my opinion there are 3-4 there that would need very big years in 2011!
  20. I don't mind him on the rookie list a reasonable bit of insurance. In spite of what a lot think on Demonland he is not the worst player going round. He is tall, reasonable weight, a good mark and a passable help out Ruckman. Pity about his kicking for goal. ( he is however a long kick so all is not lost ) So everyone he is part of 2011 so lets get off his back, he will only get a gig if we have injuries to our big men!
  21. Hi Hille, Agree with your last comment, not sure if I agree with some of your earlier comments. I still think the forward line presents bigger problems than the backs. Jury is still out for me with Wona and I don't believe Jetta/Maric are good enough. They would be the first dropped next year unless they show a lot more in 2011 I want a big improvment from Watts in 2011. Also what if Bruce Leaves? That gives us five picks!
  22. Two wins next year and then we will see the other side of them. Don't know about you but I cannot wait.
  23. Oh go on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will find it very liberating. you can then hate them for the next twelve months without any guilt at all.
  24. Spot on E25! That is the reason that for the last 3-4 years we have had very few Friday nights and a lot of sunday afternoons. Put the results on the board and all of a sudden the draw improves. I hate to say this but if it was not for Collingwood supporting our right to play them an Queens birthday that would be gone as well. Don't believe I am saying this but "Thanks Eddie"
