I am, but to be honest I haven't paid anywhere near as much attention to potential draftees this year as I have in the last 5-6 years. I guess that's a good sign.

Sensational write up about the soon-to-be Demon WJ. Appreciate your work.

Barber seems a bit hipster to me... I vote Todd and Jack give him the military buzz cut as an initiation.

Which is exactly what I was saying. Roos wouldn't be picking certain players, but he would definitely have a checklist of traits he requires which the recruiting team then base their recommendations on.

Oh well it must be true then... Because everyone knows every completely different situation is exactly the same...

And I find it fascinating how vulture like the trolls are on Demonland. Latching onto anyone who is actually willing to say something. Weak as pi55.

Geez. You acted like a smart Alec, you were wrong. Maybe try a bit of humble pie instead of making it worse?

A link's been posted "ProDee", might be time to concede this one.

Well I would expect you are quite well versed in recognizing people who are heads given there's hopefully still a mirror at your residence you haven't smashed in disgust. Now move along child, the grown ups are talking about football. Off to your bananas and sexism thread made especially for you and the other special ones.

I'm not saying the head coach would say "I want this bloke, full stop", but clearly they would all work together in identifying the best player that fits what we are looking for in terms of attitude. To think the recruiter just goes out and picks whoever he wants without the coach knowing about it is just plain silly. Let's not forget the original comment I was responding to: "Coach that is being phased out shouldnt be involved at all." The example I used wasn't to show the merits or otherwise of how it could happen, but merely to show it's an accepted fact that the head coach gets the final say.

Of course the coach is involved. The coach is the head of responsibility for the way the footy team performs on field, including managing the players. He would have a big say, most likely the final say in who we pick after being given the recommendations of the recruiting and list managing team. Remember Neeld overruling Viney in taking Toumpas? But sure, if you don't want our premiership winning coach, who has a reputation of having an eye for picking players, involved in the process of deciding who will be in his team next year maybe you should write to PJ and see what response you get...

Really? Prepare to be alarmed then...

What a weak dog hypocrite you are. Sad sad little boy.

I did. The person harassing me the most got banned, now his mates post continuous personal comments about me whether I respond or not. It's meant to be a footy website at the end of the day.

Fair game on footy posts I will always cop. Fair game to attack me personally, make comments about my personal life, and ,as happened recently, comments on my personal relationships with my family, is not ok.

I have not once sent personally abusive messages to other posters here. I have received them many times. I give as good as I get with the fiery footy talk, but I never instigate personal posts here. Have a read of the last few pages. I didn't think what I was asking was that hard? Simply asking for the personal abuse to stop. I'll still cop cracks about footy opinion and give the same back, but as someone who barracks for the same footy team as the rest of you I'm asking you to stop the constant personal posts and messages.

About the standard of replies I expected. Well done guys, really mature.

Here's an idea, how about you just don't post about me anymore? Your obsession is incredibly lame, especially given this is a footy website and all you seem to comment on is other people you've never met. Maybe try talking about actual footy? The things that were said to me were actually horrible and weren't the first time this anonymous internet poster has personally harassed me. I understand maybe you get your jollys out of trying to bully people on the internet and continually having personal cracks at them, but I'm actually a real person and I get really really sick of it. Feel free to post your usual tough internet replies, but as I said to BBO in a message to him after he had sent me continuing personal attacks, maybe have a think about who you are in real life and why you feel the need to act like this on the internet.

Now how would you know what comments were made if they were only in a private conversation?

How many games did Melksham play, and where did he finish in the B&F for the team that finished 2 spots below us?

Ugh. You're so internet "Moonshadow". Congratulations, your family must be proud when you show them the people you've trolled every night.

Grow up. Just because you think you're anonymous here doesn't mean it's ok to act like such a child.

Having a bit of a snitch now are we? Pretty clearly there's banter and then there's a line, so someone being banned for a month should tell you how far over the line it went.

To be honest, apart from Danger (FA) I haven't bothered to try and guess the possibilities, as I feel like the way we go about our business under PJ and Roos we wouldn't even know who we're actually after (ala Tyson, Bernie). I have no doubt we've cast a wide net while at the same time picked out a couple of key focuses.

Yeah you're right. let's not trade our picks for peak age A graders, Harmes and King will lead us to a flag...
