Would anyone be interested in carrying a similar system for next year where top 4 and bottom 4 face relegation? Also is anyone keen for both SC and DT?
A good idea would be to set up a few different leagues to make the competitions more enjoyable and fairer (ie those who scored over 2k on DT). Here's mine:
Supercoach
avg: ~ 2350
posi: ~3-7,000
DreamTeam
avg: ~2150
posi: ~7-15,000
Girlfriend gets me a Dees Membership for Christmas
Girlfriend's cousins get me a Dees Heritage Stubby & Mug for Christmas
Girlfriend's aunts & uncles get me a Dees Calender for 2012 for Christmas
Can life get any better?
I rest easy knowing that himself and his families reputation will be tarnished for the continuation of his career and he will forever be known as a liar & one of the most (if not the most) over paid players to ever play AFL in the 21st century. Vent over
What do you get from ripping into people like that? Especially when JCB was simply stating his opinion as evidenced by saying 'could be' and 'I believe.' You're so negative for no reason mate
Because the fact that this family isn't already recognized as being strong Melbourne supporters & financer's has me puzzled & hence I've drawn my own conclusion that they would want it kept private (don't know why). We all know journo's go on here & would hate for this knowledge to affect the club (again I don't know how but better to be safe then sorry).
Posted this on here because I was having some drinks with people in the know & wanted to share we are in a strong financial position going forward.
EDIT: You're right Deestroy; it has a lot to do with why we are able to have such an extensive & highly regarded coaching list + snaring/keeping a few players.
We have our own Pratt family & they're maybe even more generous (I don't know the extent of Pratt support at Carlscum). They provide help in the form of open book incentives to help get deals done.
EDIT: Also MC was messed around at Brissy a fair bit - haven't heard of a player having so many surgery's in one season.
Learned from a very reliable source today that Mitch Clarke is very happy at Melbourne & that we have some well-known friends in very high places who are providing a strong financial assistance to the club. Obviously won't name sources, take it as you see fit...it's off season.
I'm undecided about wanting Leon but I find it funny those who shut down the idea immediately. All year we've cried over our immature bodies and lack of on field leadership. I think Leon would fill a role, an important role - for 2 seasons max. Is this 2 year role > the development of a young guy in the same spot. I'm undecided but I'm sure Needly knows what's best for the team in the short/long run.
