  1. Very good point Old, todays story goes to show how off field turmoil needs to become a thing of the past and something all of Roos, Eade, Williams, Craig and other candidates would consider. Eade and Williams would be at loggerheads with such a leader and Roos would just say no to the offered vacancy and be justified in saying, nothing has changed I am not taking the job for that reason
  2. I think the last 8 weeks or thereabouts since Jackson has been in his current position has shown the benefits of good governance, stability and sound decision making. I consider the previous period of destabilsation at the club when Stockdale was involved. I don't like the idea of I'm president or I'm nothing this is about the club I don't want a person leading us where it's all about me! I have been happy with Jackson thus far and want him to stay, already todays story shows heading back to the past will see us leaking like a sieve to the media again and failing to learn from our problems of the past. This is about the club Alan not about you
  3. Says a lot about your source more than anything else
  4. Worsfold will not be sacked, the decision whether to continue is solely his without any input from their board. I have spoken to a very close friend of Woosha's (ex-premiership player) who didn't ask directly but his gut feel is Woosha will continue and has been through a difficult personal time this season. It's just a gut feel on his behalf, he may be wrong but he would know him better than most.
  5. You know the problem WYL, Hawthorn got their house in order after the failed merge and thought outside the box and "this is the way we always did things". We all know what we did during that time and that is one of the main reasons why we are lagging behind off field. Beggars can't be chosers
  6. I'd rather give up pick 2 for Brad Crouch, who IMO will prove better in the long term, don't get me wrong Wines is going to be a very good player but so is Crouch
  7. Nothing really changed still no definitive no, club is doing what is right and covering all bases. Make no mistake he will be spoken to again before a final decision is made. At the end of the day there are plenty of good options out there
  8. Cheers Swoop!
  9. Same salary cap Old
  10. Clarification on this wouldn't that be via PJ who is apparently overseas and has not according to Roos spoken to him since the first call!
  11. hindsight is a wonderful thing old dee, in 2010 we had a better list going forward according to many. Funny old game and things change very quickly. when considering Meth Coast's list consider names who will are diminshing very fast and will be gone in either 2014 or 15 Cox - Lycett & Sinclair are not up to it Kerr - like Cousins and Judd very hard type of player to replace Glass - very underated and on his last legs, Mckenzie is no where near as good and does not marshall the defence the same was as Glass does Embley - good 2nd tier player who provides depth Watters - Bashed his body around and no replacement Adam Selwood - finished Le Cras - I will give him the benefit of the doubt as it is 1st season back from serious knee injury but is a long way off his form pre-knee recon That is a big gap in the list to fill and any Roos will view it this way
  12. They wont pay that much Old Dee, they would rather get a coach for less coin and spend the money on the Footy Department. That's not to say he wouldn't head to Meth Coast for less and be surrounded by a larger off field team. Just not sure he would move to Perth from Sydney, but like others have said I have no idea what Roos will do next year, having said that I do still believe he is considering the position as coach but is yet to make any decision
  13. Demon for Life, in the down times (many in my 33 years as a supporter) and copping it from opposition supporters only makes me love the Dees more, I want to get the feeling of Round 22 1987 again and my kids to have it "Tiocfadh Ar Lar" (Our Day Will Come)
  14. How about we get in Adams ear and if he wants to come PSD, if they want Jamar we can trade for something else
  15. Yes it's just an MFC thing FFS, Muston, Dowler, Thorp, Egan, Tambling, Laycock, Tenace, Trotter, Riley Dunn, Fergus Watts, Danny Meyer, Vezpremi, Oakley-Nicholls the list goes on but no keep thinking we are the only club who does this
  16. I was at the East Freo game the other week in the feral section and he seemed to be the whipping boy!
  17. Tadhg, my brother is married to an Australian without any Irish background, she tells everyone who asks about the spelling sounds like TA-DIG, it's actually Irish for Tim
  18. I am no apologist but I hate people behind keyboards talking it up, every one is entitled to an opinion but there are ways to express it.
  19. Don't tell us hard man, tell Colin himself you know where the lads train, got to love keyboard warriors.
  20. He has been struggling at WAFL level, surprised he was called up but then again, they have a lot of injuries. Woosha may play him on a wing to try and make Hill accountable going the other way or without Waters and Hurn they have no one to play the ball out from half back, where he may play a roaming role
  21. You are right on the money BH, I had seen him on telly and thought he was good but I saw him last year in the flesh and thought wow! whoever gets this kid is getting something special. I went to last years colts prelim and was even more impressed then previously, people compare players and sometimes it's a big call, but that day Hogan was the closest thing I've seen to Wayne Carey. He grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck and it was one of the most outstanding displays I have seen by a young player. Hogan did not get his side over the line that day and I knew he would go in the mini-draft. In the weeks after that game all the talk was he was going to the Dogs, they were going to move heaven and earth to get him, Can't say how delighted I am we managed to get him and watching the vision I have this year only confirms we finally got a future star. Now we have him it's up to the club to get things right in the FD and he is ours for a long time.
  22. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt but he is starting on the back foot Hate East Perth with a passion Meth Coast I hate even more
  23. Yarran doesn't have the work ethic to play in the midfield and will not come cheap. I see him as a player with cameo roles running off half back or playing a role in a forward pocket
  24. I live in Perth and I have never heard of the suburb, Wembley Park which apparenty is where the house he purchased from Karl Langdon is. Langdon laughed it off and I also know where he lives and it is not the suburb of Wembley
  25. I have seen him live 4 times this season and rate him, the Dees were flogged on the weekend but he still wasn't that bad. He is a smart player who reads the play well and sets up play from defence with good distribution. One of my early reports on Dayle Garlett I mentioned Risol who really stood out. He is not dissimilar to Jared Rivers in the way he plays and would be worth a punt as a mature rookie or late pick as cover in the third tall role. He will be 23 in October and I think was brought over from Werribee!
