Free agency was always going to be an issue. Can't see how the AFL couldn't see this coming when every man and his dog could.

If we look at his last couple of games this season there was a marked improvement. A clear preseason and there's no reason Clarrie can't get back to his best. It was always going to be a couple of year project...

It looked a bit dumb when Brenton Sanderson got the Adelaide job and had to watch on for the Cats premiership in 2011 after putting in the work as assistant coach. He had to celebrate with players over the fence... King's job with Geelong finishes when they finish. Will have time with players, coaches & staff win lose on Saturday night then he's all ours (unless its a draw)...

Bailey Fritsch...Daniel Turner

Ponissi was a great get on the panel...he knows what a great coach looks like, he knows what winning is. Some people like Caro are quite insular, happy to live in their own little world. I'm happy we're expanding our world view, may it continue.

Dangerfield...wow

Looking cooked at the moment...

A player who was a liability in finals v a proven final performer. They would be laughing that's for sure.

Seriously, brings me to tears every time I see those highlights... The greatest Demon.

Was going to say something along 'rpfc's' line... It will probably make it easier for Max as he won't have to run as hard to get to boundary throw ins (plus the wrestling) and be able to set up behind the play around the ground. It will make him a bigger pest.

Hard to find details & trying to confirm but I think Riley Bonner came runner up in the Liston....well done Riley.

Club football is the pinnacle of our game. This jealousy of the NRL needs to stop. Let them have something...

Please don't 'Jaded'...there are some words that should be banned in spite of freedom of speech. I just hope none of ours are available.

I guess the proof will be in the eating...still very early days. There some key markers that will indicate how well he is going... Training base On field performance Growing the membership base Club/Membership communication Building a successful ongoing business model Words are well and good and he handled himself well on questions that were the obvious. Lets see the actions before we get too carried away.

No need to apologise, good to hear things went well and thanks for posting the link. Looking and sounding good...big crew on stage. I'm sure Pedal Steel is the most confounding of all instruments. Take care and I hope you don't get hit too hard by the waste, it doesn't sound like fun.

...but it will be swept under the carpet. He will probably be suspended for this weeks game.

I know people who have met Taylah through football & they speak highly of her. She's a credit to herself and we're lucky to have her. I'm with 'rpfc', would like to see her stay a Demon until she's done.

I don't know why they still have this when apparently they've decided it's not the way to go with the AFL game. The tech isn't good enough and they're looking into something else.

I hope the gig went well for you '@hardtack' and all is ok...

There was another one that was just as bad yesterday in the Hawthorn game. Worpel went down like a bag from a tummy tap...

Good to see her really get the confidence to use that speed late in the game. It's a real weapon.

The impact of the listed players was on the whole disappointing...not just those on the cusp of being delisted. I was a bit more bullish on Kolt last week but have to agree with ' @binman ', he needs a big attitude adjustment and I'm not sure if even that will make the difference. He's got nice skills and looks like a footballer but he's a ways off making it at AFL level currently. He's an average VFL player at the moment. Our best were Campbell, who's been such a great addition to the club, Laurie and Culley of the listed group. The Casey boys Hardie, another great addition and Bonner. I think Baldi has a dip and Almost forgot Billings who just continues to put in even though he knows his days are numbered...some of the other boys could learn a lesson from him. Was just about to add this sentence to my rambling post. Thanks 'george', this is a big issue for mine and says a lot about where our list sits.

Adam Goodes...

For me no...'88 we just weren't in it, it was so deflating for the whole game.

I still haven't recovered from '88...
