Tail wagging the dog again!

This Carp is going to go on for longer than Scully did. Just give it a break.

Yes we went to Japan this year  week before GF.   didn't matter this year at all.

 

But you will not see any northern lights at that time of year   needs to be much later,   much colder   and a long way past Juneau  or Skagway   go dees

Going to whitehorse

She got the Premiership she wanted.

Now she can retire.

P155 off caro

Daisycutter and I take homage that 170cm are midgets

Paul Callery was only 165cm and he was seriously good  for his height

If ANB is not in the starting 18 then I should stop following the Dees.

Weideman is not a starting 18. He is 2 years away.

I expect this preseason will expose a few boys to become men.

I haven't seen any training sessions yet, so I will leave any comment until such time I have.

If you wish. Why not?

Just about all of them lack substance

Bloody Holidays.

Being retired everyday is a holiday. This year the missus booked holidays in august / sept. To tour Ireland and see family in Scotland.

I was spewing at first but didn't miss anything. She has now booked next years little jaunt Canada / Alaska.

You guessed it Sept./ Oct. Just so she gets a chance to check the Northern Lights off the Bucket List.

My No. 1 is to see another Melb. Premiership. I hope we win 2 in a row

Worst forum ever.

Close it down Mods. It gives nothing.

Black shorts and white shorts are all you need!

He has very good peripheral vision. He is a natural footballer, good mover and places his kicks well.

Although we don't see his clangers in highlight reels

Pretty comprehensive stuff.

I think you always need to draft the best available rather than for need.  I think we, along with all other clubs, have fallen into that trap before.  It is good to see however that Spargo looks like being the best available and filling a need around our 1st-3rd picks.

I think in the range we will be looking, every recruiter will have a different perspective on who is best available.

So best fit will do me.

Plapp doing midfield

What happened to that Genius Midfield and Stoppage coach Ben Mathews?

I’ve often wondered about Fawkner Park?

Not what you call CBD or Near to MCG. Probably just a bit too fara walk from the new Domain Train Station whenever that gets completed

They have been dealing with Melbourne council. Stonnington hasn't been mentioned.

We were cruelled with injuries this year.

We don’t want to start 2018 with another.

The big thing I got from this mornings conversation was the PJ is gone at the end of next year.

So who is the replacement going to be?

We have been very well served by PJ I do not want to slip back to some of the other dills we have had.

They did talk about a succession plan, and I gathered that was referring to all major positions.

You know what we are known for now?........... No Leaks Demons

MFC used to own a magnificent terrace house in Jolimont Terrace or thereabouts. We sold it back in the 90's if not before when realising non core assets was in vogue. Pity we did not re-invest the money in a HQ but that fails the modern Business 101 test.

Not sure I would call Docklands ... "greenfield" ... the first sod was turned there over 30 years ago.

FWIW Toorak (or Prarhan ) oval would be my pick. Not sure who owns/uses it these days and how the sharing rights would work.

Well Tilly,

The HQ he refers to is not just an Admin building. It's the whole box and dice. Football, Training, Gym, Pool, Medical, Admin and Social Club. Jolimont terrace wouldn't house a 1/4 of the staff needed to run a football club.

Listen to PJ. he was the one who called it a greenfield site I presume he was referring to Barassi park under the Bolte Bridge.

Toorak Park is not the CBD, PJ was referring to. And not what you call close to the MCG

What they had is super stars of the game and where a destination club. We have neither of these so not apples for apple as they say. We play finals and a few others emerge like Oliver and that may change but it hasn't yet

Just have a bit of Faith. Good things come to those who wait. We have waited long enough , so it is our turn.

Daisy,

You must have those same pigs flying around you that OD has!

I could not imagine all those East Melbourne captains in Clarendon Street having their views of the gardens disrupted by a football ground Tut Tut!

We are all happy now that we've got Lever but it's going to hurt next year when we don't have a first rounder in a top draft and that could have been avoided.  

Well that didn't hurt the Hawks when they won 4 premierships. they didn't have the first rounders because the New teams got them all so they had to go out and buy Free Agents.
