Thats right, Roos got the runner out and told the player playing on Ebert, to let him loose for a while...

Our capitulation on the weekend says nothing about game day coaching, more about weak leadership on the field, that goes to water when the heat is turned up.

Love it! Eddie is a bloody good game promoter and he's just adding some spite to Monday's clash, stirring the pot before the big game... Wanna-be macho types do it all the time... Bring it on!

Well done ProDee - this link to the Australian Human Rights Commission site might illuminate you as to the stolen Generation - Timeline - History of separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families

This is an interesting thread/ discussion, and far more important than most on this site...

ABS site... offers the following statistical support that we continue to practice genocide... i.e. facilitating a system that decreases the life span of one group (indigenous) relative to another group. LIFE EXPECTANCY Life expectancy is a summary measure of mortality. It represents the estimated number of years a newborn baby would live if current mortality patterns remained constant throughout the baby's lifetime (see Box 1.7). At the national level for 2005–2007: Life expectancy at birth for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander males is estimated to be 67.2 years, 11.5 years less than life expectancy at birth for non-Indigenous males (78.7 years). Life expectancy at birth for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander females is estimated to be 72.9 years, 9.7 years less than life expectancy at birth for non-Indigenous females (82.6 years).

Painting you won't find in the ANZAC archives - Mounted police engaging Indigenous Australians during the Slaughterhouse Creek Massacre of 1838.

In the context of an Adam Goodes thread, the glaring omission from ANZAC day is commemorating the first Australian's loss and deaths when fighting for their land against the invading colonial powers. It is a war they (the indigenous Australians) comprehensively lost, and that we (the beneficiaries of their loss) totally ignore. That these "Frontier Wars" are the great "forgotten" war that ANZAC day fails to even mention, tarnishes the ANZAC ideal and makes it an event by the victors celebrating their victories...

AFL: Blues won't rule out seeking a priority pick And the games begin... Round 3 they declare they are rebuilding, Round 8 sack their coach, if it were the MFC we'd be up for 1/2 million dollar fine for not Tanking..

Viney was in our best three players prior to injury, if fit straight in.

If we can win 8+ games this year and continue to improve, its a validation that the trade, draft and development approach that Roo's and co have put in place is working. So why dump this strategy and join the rest of the league in a bidding war for a big name star? We should present our case to all potential recruits but continue to be very canny in how we spend our draft currency... If we're lucky a big name will look across a dozen offers and for some reason ours will appeal, if not we'll content ourselves with another helping of the next Brayshaw, VandenBurg, Frost, Garlett and Lumumba... The wheel is turning.

Maybe, but with Trengove out for port the addition of Fitzy to Pederson and Hogan will cause them issues...

interesting that Fitzy has been named in the forward pocket...

"Team balance" is surely in the context of the opposition. i.e. last weeks team balanced well against Doggies, but changes may be required to be as well balanced vs Port... In Roos we trust.

Jeff Garlett - 8 games 16 goals (highest at MFC thus far). Plus creating havoc in the forward half! Great acquisition! hee hee hee

With GWS having two quality kids in their academy, and with the new points system for academy selections they are going to need picks to trade to get these to academy kids... I don't feel we need to cull another 9 players at the end of this year, just get in 3 quality mids (mature, established and potential) So trading our 2nd, 3rd, 4th round picks to GWS may have more traction than trading players to them might.

Is there a pattern here... Worsfold - Worsfold rules himself out of Carlton coaching race Thompson - 'Bomber' says no to Blues ...?

Why can't Mick set the record straight on Eddie Betts leaving? Blues fans and admin will blame Mick for their misfortunes and he isn't prepared to be used in that way. Given his own CEO told him it was otherwise (i.e. that the Betts deal was sewn up a while back).

Port's full back, Trengove, out as well... Carlile likes to play deep.

Do they still roll out the hovercraft before games? Really looking forward to that...

Or Split [censored] Testical is censored! ok Split Nut

I heard him too, and also LOVED IT !!! So good to be able to sing the song with time on the clock! If we're on the rise then lets enjoy it to the max.
