    Yes they are all stars of the game but if you can't divorce expectations from his draft pick perhaps you should have a look at his draft Top ten were; Watts NicNat Hill Hartlett Hurley Yarran Rich Vickery Ziebell and Davis No Pendles, Bonts or Judds in that lot.

    Not sure how Shelley Scott can have an injured shoulder and be out of the side but also be named as an emergency

    I'm a big fan of Tom McDonald but not when his name is used in the same sentence as "fearless football " It may be an over complicated message but perhaps Tom's brand should be "first option football" and then whoever he gives it to can be fearless

    Well I suppose the silver lining out of all this carry on is that when Watts eventually plays he should, at least, be as good as last year 5th B & F, 38 goal result but more consistent and with a more aggressive edge. Happy days

    Impossible to know but I wonder how many extra members will be down to the inclusion of women's league? The Dees are probably the best team to watch, certainly of the Melbourne based sides, and have the most recognisable player. Seeing the number of number 6's on the backs of kids jumpers I'm guessing isn't down to Jordan Lewis. Getting a rock solid foothold in this market before the inclusion of sides from Richmond/Hawthorn/Geelong get started could help secure a financial bonus for years to come.

    Thanks for that article LH. I was wondering how long the contracts were for. Not sure if we can start signing required players up now. You would imagine most players staying at their respective clubs perhaps aside from GWS who have a few ring ins. At the least you would want confirmation from the core group that they will stay. In my book the least likely to leave; O'dea closely followed by Daisy.

    Watts is mentioned in the third paragraph. If anyone was the culprit I was hoping it was him showing aggressive intent but he was just helping him find the teeth

    I wonder how women's basketball is going at the moment? Patterson, Mifsud and Pearce the ruck all come from a basketball background and I'm sure there are many from other teams too. Reckon we could drag Lauren Jackson out of retirement and leave her one out in the goal square

    Yes the intensity of this match is about half of the Melbourne V Bulldogs last week. The bestest thing about it is watching Eddie Betts being Eddie Betts. Makes you smile just seeing what he can do.

    I must admit I am surprised that Watts has been left out of this weeks side. I am of the understanding that clubs like to get 6-7 quarters into players before Rnd 1. If Watts is a required player and definitely in the best 22 as has been stated then his preparation may be compromised. If he has a shocker against the Saints it will be hard to know if it was because of his failings to meet KPI's (whatever they are) or due to lack of match practice.

    And if Watts has a 20 disposal first up game against the Saints, regularly hitting forwards on the chest whilst slotting a couple of goals himself I look forward that poster declaring he was, perhaps, mistaken.

    A hint of triumphalism in your post Pro after having to wear a Jack avatar for most of last year?

    We have been a poxy club running around in a poxy clash guernsey Now we are a proper club and someone has decided we need a proper clash jumper to play in. Its part of the tide turning and washing away all the old crud. Perfect timing.

    I really don't think the AFL community have quite realised how good Jordan Lewis is going to be for us. While the talking point of the day for the commentators was the recruitment of Cloke, the ex Hawthorn player picked up a team high 28 disposals for the Dees. Did he miss a target all day? He must have but all I remember is him hitting players by both hand and foot. And then, of course, there he was bobbing up in the final few minutes in defence exactly where he was needed. Big call but I reckon he could make us a better team by two or three wins this year. Recruit of the year.

    I really enjoyed that win O'dea a favourite, seems to bleed red and blue

    So this guy has taken all the emotion out of it and scientifically worked out that Collingwood are the most likely to go down and Melbourne the most probable to rise. It may not still be Valentines Day but I want to buy this guy some roses

    That was the game where he bought his own ball and looked a cut above pretty much everyone else on the park. Would love to see Jack return to that sort of form.

    As penance for this post you now owe us probable first game dates for Kent and Hibberd and some other decent observations on the next training thread. Perhaps a Macca quote too
  21. FarNorthernD
    That's because he was in the next sentence
  22. FarNorthernD
    Yes according to the Pie supporters there were a few reasons they lost Because of the Umpires Because they weren't fit enough Because their ruck woman is tall but not very good but the most reported failing was.... They believed that Buckley went into the box after half time. Strangely I think I respect Buckley more than the average Collingwood supporter does Wonderful to hear the girls sing the Grand Old Flag after the game. May we hear it many more times this season

    Can't see it happening. Report on the AFL site says he will be on well north of a million a year. Can't see our current management selling the farm for one player. I'm guessing that was one of the reasons why it may have taken Hogan so long to sign as he could have got more money elsewhere and perhaps why the McDonald 53s only signed for two years. I could be way off the mark there but I'll almost guarantee we will avoid the bidding war and pick up a player who is 90% the player of Fyfe but at half the price

    I did not know that was Iggy Pop's birth name. Apparently he is 70 this year too. I danced to his music when he was young. This news is not good for me.
