Just like Collins Street Politics. The haves and have nots. Once a have not becomes a haves. They quickly forget their roots. The only way they will remain on top is to keep those below them down. Never give a sucker an even chance. What a shite post of cliches!

I think you would change your mind if you saw all the Grimes Kids. They younger they are the better they are.

He's saying he is staying, because Malthouse is committing to Daisy and hasn't any more room in the salary cap.

That might free up some cash. get rid of Jamar & Spencer. bring in Jolly. That leaves us with about $1.50cr

I'd love to get hold of Hannebury, but then I'd wake up. Mitchell wouldn't go especially after being recruited via F/ son. I always wanted Rohan after seeing him play in the TAC. I don't think he would leave, he owes the swans a lot.

That's all we need. Roosies good mate from swanny land doessn't want the job of heir apparent to coach the dees. Adam Simpson looks odds on now.

I believe Allison's role is Forward Coach replacing Leigh Brown. I would imagine Ben Mathews may be the midfield coach replacing Royal.Has anyone heard whether our young group of development coaches are safe, Satterley, Nichol and Greaves.

Office politics. Aren't I glad I retired 4 years ago.

Do we have a group of indigenous boys left?

Another inside mid who can get the ball. But this one can dispose of it properly. A big plus.

I saw him in Darwin at the Players Presentation at Parliament House before the Brisbane game. He looked really well. I hope everything is ok. with him. A really good gentleman

Totally agree RPFC. If they wanted a GMFO why would they appoint JM. He would have been happy to carry on with the lowly paid FM A GMFO would be a highly paid position, with a lot more responsibility. Now slightly off the subject my main concern, is what is the succession plan to replace PJ at the end of 2014. I just shake at thought of who we get. Could it be another CS. Or do we get the AFL overseeing it for a few more years.

Kaspersky never left. They were downgraded to category partners.

I can only imagine that the clean out has still a way to go. The ones that have been de listed are not an issue. We still have players with some sort of currency. When all options are exhausted we will then see more.

I don't think Josh is a strong character as a manager. I thought he was a good footballer. A rank line coach He was put in the role of FM and has held that position for 12 months. He still has a lot of learning to do. If we need to sort out the FD properly we need a strong GMFO with EXPERIENCE

So far we have delisted 8 players from the list. We probably have another 2 or 3 up for trade bait. 3 to come in from the ND I don't think we are going to try and get 8 mid fielders

Not quite. He is pushing 28 which gives him 2 years worth of currency with a bit of mongrel that our side needs.

Apparently Roos turned Rhys Shaw around and made a very accountable player.

Might be handy as a rookie listed player. Get him training with the big boys and see what he can offer.

Lots of talk on radio this morning that Heath Shaw should be put up for trade. Would we be interested in getting him. Some scribes think that he would be a good fit for the Dees. Roos maybe able to curtail his wayward nature a bit. Any thoughts?

Am I slow, how long has the banner changed? Is there a different theme to it?

They will be given a new game plan. Hopefully it will be one that the younger guys can adopt. Port were told to go out and be bold, take the game on. We were told defend, play boring football. We didn't have the skills to play a boring defensive game plan. Let's hope Roosies plan is similar to Port.

I was always told Odds on. Look on.

I have never been a fan of Brian. So no tears from me. If they made the decision they must already have a new midfield coach in place. No announcement from the club. Could it be that the mid field coach is still tied up with a club in the finals. That narrows the gap to 6.... Does that make it easier? My guess is Leigh Tudor or Nigel Lappin

Good appointment. Now that the delisted forward coach has been replaced. Surely our delisted midfield coach must be replaced very soon. I wonder who.
