Norm Smith's Curse

ANyone know who you call if you've had an erection for longer than 3 hours?

Lord Roos has delivered his first sermon for the faithful...

Hello no - Vince had a 90% kicking efficiency. Name another dee that has had that in recent times! Jay Kennedy Harris - your going on my list of favourite players. What an exciting young kid.

Great to be back at the dawning of a new pending season of footy and for once some great signs.

A very close friend tells me Hogan is loving the Dees.

Ah good to see the historical revisionists have fired up to sell us opinion as fact. We are talking about a bloke who targeted a key forward with big money (Dawes) whom I rate but at a time when we had no functioning midfield and then said in his pressers that he was surprised by how bad we were. No midfield and a list good at running around the tan. That was of course after he came in and immediately subjected two of the clubs leaders to a barrage of abuse and effectively lost them. Not saying these particular players were that important but clearly there was mo one to fill the void when they retired/moved clubs. Much more went on during the recent history of the club than has been made public or that some of you clearly know. He had a crack but it is what it is... But we did get Clark,Hogan and mow Roos as a consequence and frankly I'm as interested about reading posts on Neeld's time as I am about Balme's time

Mark neeld's appointment was an elaborate tanking agenda that the club knew would deliver Paul Roos? Seriously we've heard all the stories - players in tears during bakes, the Brad Green story, the Brent Moloney story, the game day autocrat stories, the run in with either Viney Snr or Rawlings depending on who u hear it from, etc, etc, but it really serves no purpose to rehash these issues now. We got what we wanted and needed. good to see fame day footy training rather than more laps around the tan. Hoping trenners can have a crack this year instead of spending the whole season focusing on stupid maximum weights.

Fitzpatrick kicked four goals in at least one AFL game in a losing side with appalling inside fifty delivery. Show some respect.

Hogan - well I think u have some idea why; Tyson because I'm told he oozes leadership and I want to see that on the field. michie - I think he'll be valuable but time will tell. viney - he'll have a point to prove and he's angry toumpas - when this kid gets some confidencee his run and carry will blow us all away.

Forget those guys, focus on the newbies and lord Hogan.

As others have said, he and his dad are mad Dees supporters and go to many games.

I see a hint of rohan bail in freeman so I'm happy

He has skills and they will help

It was a safer bet.

most are. I talk to one of his close school friends regularly.

what this guy said.

Lol - I was asked to write that by the guy next to me at work as a joke on someone he knows who reads this forum (and who was going to reply?). by pure chance I'm Facebook friends with a school friend of Hogans. I have no idea if he is good friends with Dom or not but I can find out. this guy tells me that sheed is a lock at pick 9 but he also told me other stuff that didn't pan out. sorry guys

[quote name="Ben-Hur" post=" Btw, I love it how posters say they've "heard" stuff. They're usually embarrassed to say where. Rightly so in most cases.

All of hogan's best friends are mad freo fans.

Just what I heard but from a guy at work who isn't a fantastic source to be honest.

He is defibately NOT best friends with Jesse Hogan.

Received a questionable sourced rumour that we might actually pick Dom Sheed at pick 9. I doubt its accurate but we'll wait and see. id be happy with Salem, Freeman, Sheed, Scharenberg or Aish. Not keen on Billings.

id be happy with either. Probably Salem.

I lived in Willie for a while. Its alright although the development boom and consequential increase in population hasn't been accompanied with improvement to road access or the ever cancelled trains

I would personally be happy with Scharenberg, Aish, Freeman or Salem. I trust that our recruiters and coaches will get it right this time. Scharenberg looks impressive. Aish is very confident but has some issues and the mfc skinny factor might scare us Freeman has awesome speed, breakaway pace. Some worry about kicking but I think he'll be ok. Sheed is probably the best overall skill player - has less weaknesses - maybe less possessions but poise more than makes up.
