  1. I too am hearing the dream ticket of Roos, Tudor and Walsh is on.
  2. Leigh Tudors name just keep popping up. (and I don't mean Sid Barrett on The Bogan Show). Christ I hope that mail is wrong.
  3. Have heard Mr Schwab showed some interest in the various Footy Dept head roles on offer. Didn't get far.
  4. Chris Connolly was suspended for 12 months for telling a dumb joke about tanking. Hird orchestrated, sanctioned and oversaw a regime of unknown and/or undocumented substances into 40 young men. He seems likely to also receive a 12 month suspension. I can't read those two paragraphs and reconcile in my mind how this is possible, let alone just.
  5. Gerard Healy on 3AW has just claimed Neil Craig is Brisbanes preferred alternative to Roos.
  6. Jesus the opposition would love it when we turn it over. They'd go coast to coast without either player getting out of jog.
  7. We're already pond scum, can't make us worse. If he was fit enough I wouldn't say no to a rookie spot.
  8. I was talking to an employee of Freos footy department last week. I asked about Melbourne. He commented that many in the industry believe Neeld and Misson have put too many endurance miles in their legs in the pre season. Upshot is a list of players who are sluggish over the first 5-10 metres. I mentioned Blease as a refute. He commented that endurance training is good for the really quick players, but if they aren't explosive to start with they'll end up sluggish. Trengove clearly in the latter category. With some high draft picks it feels like blind faith waiting for them to come on. I don't feel that way with Trengove. I think he will be a very, very good player. His awareness is already there, just needs to stop running in the shallows.
  9. This notion (Schwabism) that Bartlett is somehow a less than passionate demon is completely unfounded. He'd been on the earth for 22 years before the Franchise existed. he's Melbourne. Also, expect a gentleman by the name of Chris Lovell to be the next board appointee.
  10. I wasn't critiquing your spelling so much as the statement itself. What you have isn't new information.
  11. there's multiple roles in the Football department to be filled.
  12. Expect some double news within 72 hours of Collingwoods exit from the Premiership race.
  13. Was a game in Canberra that Morton did a number on Goodes, not the MCG Bruce/Dennis lovefest.
  14. No it doesn't. If you're talking about a place to live healthily, prosper and bring up children, then you're right. It is absolutely no contest. Just not the result you think.
  15. He played 4 games there 25 years ago. Left in less than harmonious circumstances. He's a Melbourne supporter since childhood.
  16. Indeed it is. Roos is 95% on board, to point of canvassing possible assistants. Wife loves Sydney and doesn't want to move. Money talks. Will happen.
  17. Apologies - that reads far more obnoxious than it was intended. There is no news link to the best of my knowledge. I'm sharing a tip.
  18. I'll leave it to others to post generic links to public information.
  19. New board member: Glenn Bartlett. Ex Eagle, East Perth stalwart. Managing Partner, Clayton Utz in Melbourne. From what I understand a very, very good get.
  20. Expect announcement very soon - no case to answer. Like unpopular political decisions announced on Cup Day, look for the Pentagon to bury the announcement in the middle of the drug summit. Not enough proof to charge us. Move on
  21. Like anything, we are products of our environment. Land posters think there isn't enough action at Ology, which is probably true. But judge us when the footy starts. If your benchmark of a football forum is the amount of traffic in January, then you need to go spend some time outdoors. Conversely Ologists cannot believe the drivel that can drag on for 10 pages on this site. I don't think there is any right and wrong - its just what you prefer. As someone in the thread said, be grateful we have the option and don't have to use Big Footy only like North and Footscray.
  22. so in summary in looks like its either nothing at all or AC DC songs about shagging and blowing stuff up. And they have the temerity to call us theatre goers.
