Return to Glory

I worry for Liam's future. Of course no one really knows but if i were to hazard a guess he seems caught somewhere between two distinct worlds. It would be terrific if, down the track, he acknowledged MFC but I would have thought that its a distant concern. Potential jail time would be at the top of his list would it not?

It's early on but I'd suspect Billings will go one in the next draft.

Australian one day team currently tanking

What about 'This time I'm playing to win' ?

And if we do get a host of gun young midfielders let's not crucify them at Casey for months on end. Play them. I still maintain Lucas Cook got progressively worse the more he didn't get a call up.

Thanks Jonesbag. All the other stuff didn't make sense. I'm probably naive but who/what is FB?

Denham does seem to consistently have it in for the Dees. Can anybody recall him saying something positive about the club? I can't. He's a bit of a non entity anyway.

Is it just me or is this a storm in a teacup? Neither of the clubs before us will choose Viney as their first pick but surely if they do we take the second best kid in the country - simple. Can you really imagine the head recruiter of GWS explaining to the board how they passed on the second best kid in the country to spite another team. It's not going to happen.

I have watched a considerable amount of TAC and if Stringer is available grab him. He will be the one that clubs say, 'should have grabbed'. Mate in Perth says that Jack Martin is being played down as well. We already have a Toumpas in Trengove. These two guys offer a point of difference imho

Jack Billings - AIS Sorry. And definitely not sold on Josh Caddy. Let Bombers have him.

For what it's worth we will get Viney and with our second pick. He will not, of course, be picked prior to us. The one that really jumps out for me is Jack Martin who I just know the WA clubs will be desperate for. As for Jack Stringer, he too will be a star. You can find knocks on any player but he and Martin will be stars. My cousin is currently in the one's in Sydney (actually injured now) and there were knocks re pace blah blah blah but......he can play football. Melbourne does tend to overthink. Hence, we have (and I do like him) Cale Morton who we don't know how to use. There's another Stingrays onballer who impresses. Bugger, begin with a 'b' if someone can remind. Enough rambling.

At the risk of being shouted down, I think there's a core group of players here that are starting to come on. Remember that there were significant outs, Black was somehow reprieved, Clarke is out and they got a pretty good run from the ump.

Stuie, given the late withdrawals I thought we showed a little overall. Loved Blease's game

Carrying an injury imo. Not moving freely.

Harsh

IMO, humble as it is, I like the look of Jai Sheahan - sorry if I stuffed up the name. Bloke has genuine star quality in the mould of an Isaac Smith

Huge Cook fan but give him his first game on the G, not that hole.

The thing to also remember -number 53 in the 2010 draft. What a bonus

How did Cook go?

Kennet can spend more time worrying about his own team

Did cross my mind too Mrtwister

Cook and Taggert back in - I'm almost more interested in their progress than that of the Dees this week - almost. Cook named in development side as well?

Phil Scully.....but he doesn't come cheap.

What's this crap - 'Dr, your forum future is in your own hands - put up or shut up - answer the question or seal your own fate ...' How about you just moderate.
