He's a good defender on smalls and talls - just needs to get over injuries and get fitness up

GWS destroying fabric of comp - AFL's own Dave Mathews a piece of work - Folau, Hunt, Scully...... sending AFL's money (which is all the clubs) really well.

Christ - and the club thought they had issues now - wait till Neeldy works his magic - all the players will try and use that out-clause they've got!

I think we must be considering Tyler as a Rookie - keep hearing him being dubbed a late developer - heard Roosy pump him up - saying what a great championship he had - seen a couple of times that he's Brayshaw's great mate....... where there's smoke.....

Awesome news. Jackson is a gem - how different this club would be if we had him in '07 instead of that [censored] Schwab. Both Geelong and Essendon rate Macartney incredibly highly in developing players - like Stone, probably should never have been a senior coach - doesn't mean he's not a superb addition.

Would be rapt if we could land Hrovat - massive upside - think he was in the same year as Viney at Carey Grammar

$500k a year at Dons!! History repeats - nothing but a mercenary pr$ck. We should have known when we lured him with the filthy lucre.

Massive. Needs to change body shape - no definition - no lean muscle - Look at how Brock changed shape and assisted his revival.

Caro wrote a month ago that we wouldn't get it - all her material comes straight out of city hall so no surprise really. The Commission is in no way independent of the Clubs - as an independent body could only make an objective decision that assistance was required.

Not the end of the world if we miss. Not sold on succession - there could be an excellent coach - clarko, Scott twins, bucks, Hinckley - looking for a new role - more money.

Next

I think because of the "unknown factor". The bar has been raised so high with Roos I think everyone has hopes of another coup - like Clarkson / Thompson etc. Can only hope he's the next Clarkson - christ knows we're going to need it.

Surely they're not willing to offer up much. Cale Morton type compo?

Barrett's form continues. He stirred the pot last week saying that Jones should leave as a free agent at the end of his next contract.

C'mon - this is all that we live for as Dee's supporter - we're all addicted to the pain!

This can only be positive. There must be a clause that either party can pull the pin if succession doesn't feel right after two years.

Won't get Lynch - he's vice captain and rusted on up there. Reid from Swans is the target.

Would agree - but don't underestimate how desperate clubs can get. If 6 clubs inquired after him bidding war or desperation could land a 2nd round pick.

Imagine PJ was appointed instead of Schwab - guarantee we wouldn't have gone through the pain of last 7 years. Trust this bloke.

I think Mission has done a good job. You need to weigh up fitness vs injury - and we've had a great run with soft tissue injuries this year compared to other teams inc Collingwood and their new fitness bloke.

Glad Roos was able to joke at half time interview. Think he's put que in rack too whist earning $150k a month.

Sounds like an ill conceived fire sale. You'd be selling trengove & toumpas when they're at their lowest ebb in terms of market value. The only player with a chance of attracting a first round pick would be Watts - and would only be based on potential. Surely you'd trade for players and not picks.

I thought Roos was about building culture? Jackson has discussed about importance of the feel in the locker room? Losing faith by the second.

How could we be denied a priority pick! Rable

As had been reported previously on site - the Rev is battling the terminal illness known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Those diagnosed have a life expectancy of 2-4 years. The Rev's health is getting worse and he's done an interview with Tim Watson that will be on Channel 7 Monday night - apparently very moving. Just want to pass on my best to the great man who in retrospect did an unbelievable job at the Dee's. If only we could go back to the days of complaining about making finals every second year!!
