monoccular

Direct trade for Cook :-))

One player who has made the most out of his talents, plus more, through sheer hard work and determination. A shining (not just his head) example to all.

So I am also confused. Is the FA compensation determined by an objective formula based on measurable criteria, or is it some sort of subjective judgement by Vlad and Anderson?

Spot onOne of the best TEAM efforts I have seen. No strutting "superstar" who can't kick straight from a set shot under pressure. Just a hard working TEAM who know they can rely on one another in a crisis. Well done - emulate that and we will (well, most of us) all be happy here.

i thought there was no longer a rookie list - can someone who knows please advise.

...and made the most of it!And to answer he original question what does it show: that he has some G&D and courage, as well as natural skills / talent.

I dont know about inappropriate, but certainly different and actually true.

Sadly we only have one of him :-((

For all the occasional bickering, most (though not all) who post here seem to be passionate fellow Demon worshipers and I for one am very grateful to those who run the site, and to most of the posters. Let us all look forward to a huge preseason and 2013!

Trouble is, BW - the GF doesn't just get set up in the week after the PFs; it takes months. So if not at the G, where the greatest number of teams play and where the greatest number of spectators can fit in, (and where the Dees have their ancestral home) then how do you decide where?You may argue for the city of the reigning premiers, but say for example that Sydney don't even make the top 4 next year, then HM would attend a game at Homebush?

My Martin Luther King moment: I had a dream today - a guy, number 10 named Morton - two vital goals and some important heavy lifting in a winning GF side. Then I woke up!

Wells 11 - interesting comments in a Craig thread. Has your psychiatrist tried to help you cope with these fleeting ideas appearing out of the blue?

what a strange confusing comment about Mitch.

His cheek is on the side of his a&^%hole!

Thanks for that All sounds very positive and I look forward to the delivery over the next 12 months.

HaHa - just what were you watching? Were you alone?

You missed my tongue in cheek.

so it must be absolutely true then. :-))Just like when [censored] Lloyd says we don't use GPS....because he says it is true it must be.

....so they have upgraded from the paper bags then.

you mean, since Moloney has pulled the plug he will no longer run the camp for the young Dees!

two cheap and meaningless possessions across half back there. Well done for your insightful contribution to the debate nd the pathway forward. We need "supporters" like you -NOT!

Both the above posts give at least some reason for optimism, unless you are one of the several trolls - and I won't name them but hey are well known to regular readers - here who seem to just see negatives everywhere (maybe they worked at Kodak before it folded ). GO DEES,

mods- once again, the "dislike" button desperately needed.

By your criterion, that < 3 Brownlow votes = spud, we should sack all bar Jones and start again. Your assertion that half our list are spuds is, by your criterion, a gross underestimate. I cant be bothered going through all the teams but I wonder how many had > half the players getting > 3 votes. Not too many I imagine. Does that make "half their lists are spuds"? And your maths fails to take into account (again I won't do he math) that the majority of votes go to the winning team, especially in one sided games. We are so lucky that you are not list manager.

Our coaching HAS BEEN poor. It may or may not still be - only another preseason and season will tell.
