Norm Smith's Curse

FItzy for Tutt is a win for both sides - gives the doggies a forward option, gives us an up and coming mid that just cant break into their side enough.

Yes. and I usually dont.

Demonland: Bag facebook rumours pages then base your assessment of whether a player is leaving or not based on your read of body language on a footy show appearance.

although I hope toumpas doesnt get traded because i think confidence is his main issue.

acceptable, logical and well thought out.

btw danger might be a smoke screen for someone else (in my opinion)

Heard the opposite so we will soon see who is right. Same as Goodwin going to the Crows - some posters were adament - adamently wrong.

anyway Clark is done and dusted - get us a good young player that can get on the park and lets just close this chapter I say

yepp i wont repeat the rumour I heard but your drift is near mine

Demoneyes - dont know a person named Gary by any chance through golf?

Nope. different person. Sounds like yours is more forthcoming than mine...

I tend to find that one rumour might be circulated to smoke up the real target (who for some reason I still believe may be Sloane)

gees I wonder if this golf mate is the same as my golf mate??

As long as he doesnt say: 'It is what it is' or 'its a rebuild of a rebuild'

I was a fan of Stu Dew but I have no idea why. As for changing Clark and Frawley's plans - who cares. A five year appointment means to me a restructure of the list. Not really sure that would include a player who seemed to purposefully underperform and another who played 15 games in three years no matter how talented.

I didnt think he looked nervous - I thought he looked measured and calm. Two things you probably wouldnt have said about some of our previous coaches. This appointment also gives time to Viney and co to rebuild our list properly. A mate tells me that Goodwin is as close to Jnr MacDonald a player could be without actually being Jnr MacDonald. Im happy. Now we need a list.

Now we just need a list...

Partyboy was on the money.

I was told peesonality wise very similar to jnr nacdonald.

Someone i know has met him and says he is an all round solid individual.

Rjay - thankfully you were wrong - simon goodwin to be announced as assistant and successor at 12.30 today

Sloane would also be nice (if we can turn his family around from being Prendergasted)

we have salary cap space for a big play at someone from Adelaide - but will it be Dangerfield?

I saw a post once where someone claimed they ran into Blease and Gysberts somewhere where it was intimated that neither really enjoyed the stresses and expectations of AFL footy. Im guessing the lack of defensive improvements this year might be why Blease struggled under Roos. Good luck to him where ever he goes.

I met his old man on a train from Boronia. Top bloke. was listening to SEN on the train.
